@evero kind of lost too... where can I find these settings? Gop3zilla with Sedna in hbr/25p

@Oedipax: Does that mean, it´s a feature of the patch itself, rather than an overload of the card?

Just wanted to congratulate on Sedna C AQ1. Had no problems on a 16G Sandisk extreme (30mbs). Very nice grain, no banding, no blocking, smooth and fluent. Like it a lot.

@sir_danish, I assume it's the card, but I don't know. It was super detailed, super wide shots stopped down to f/8, so it's really pushing the limits. Plus a lot were locked off static shots, or very slow pans. Also it was about 80 degrees in the hot sun so that might reduce performance a bit as well.

At some point I'll probably upgrade to a 64gb 95mbps card and hopefully that will eliminate any issues.

Here are some screengrabs from footage that I shot with Quantum X Dark Matter v3. Lenses used where Voigt 25/.95 and SLR Magic 12mm/1.6. I do not know the exact ISO settings anymore. I think they vary between 320 - 1.600 ISO. Some of the footage looks totally awesome.

Testing Sedna now but it doesn't survive my death chart torture tests. I might stick with Dark Matter or Orion as I don't want to invest too much in expensive cards. Even my 64GB card has some problems with Sedna.

@Driftwood, @thepalalias - I started having this audio silence after installing a new factory firmware. WIth 1.0 I never had this issue.

@uzland just quoting @driftwood *** NEWS *** The next setting under development will be called 'VY Canis Majoris' and utilise the best deblocking filtering we can get together with matrices like Sedna and Dark Matter.

In simple terms: Deblocking works quite literally as the name suggests by smoothing out the boxiness or blocking of each predicted macroblock edge. Smoothing the edges by utilising a range of values from -6 (least deblocking keeps more of the picture) to +6 (very smooth) a balance can be struck by working out a threshold value (another -6 to +6 range) where the deblocking kicks in and when it does - how much to deblock. This is known as a deblocking Loop Filter.

The sharpe edges? Well, youve just found the problems in Panny's stock deblocking loop, this is being analysed for the up-and-coming new settings 'VY Canis Majoris' which will be a BIG analysis of deblocking in INTRA settings. The setting will employ Sedna matrices with new deblocking variables - hopefully better than Panny's default values.

i just made some shots with sedna A1Q with gop3zilla at 6400 ISO. Upload soon.

@uzland – If it's only .5sec at the beginning of every clip, just have a little run-up at the beginning of each take and get over it. In the old tape-only days, you'd need to put at least 3" of run-up before a take to allow for pre-roll. "Camera" – "Speed" – "Action". Now .5" in the middle of a clip is another matter!

@Uzland I don't shoot many weddings, but the last one I did for a friend, I brought lots of extra batteries and media and just didn't stop shooting.

Easier to edit than "explain". :)

@uzland – With respect, we're talking about (~12) FRAMES here! If you don't know what's about to happen, just keep turning or better still concentrate & anticipate the action. That's what documentary makers have always done.

@thepalalias and @emrr - thanks for the tips although they are not solution, they are alternative to solution. Will let you know when I figure out what the problem is so that you don't have to drain your battery or waste media :))
