Excellent !!! straight out of the camera.

ORION v4b , 24H , ISO 160 , Nostalgic -2 -2 0 -2 , FD 50mm 1.8

@driftwood, hope your daughter is doing better. My wife has a 5th and 6th molar on the upper jaw with the 6th being impossible to extract due to being so close to the eye. The 6th seems to have been encased and it is not growing sufficiently fast as to cause a problem. The 5ths have been extracted with much pain along with the 4ths. Like a shark for sure. Wonder if my future kids will have these problems too. Thank you for your work.

@jhero - Holy crap, the detail in that roof!

The Quantum X v2 Orion certainly is evolving, The test that was produced a shot time ago uses late afternoon Light more in tune with TV advertising. We need to remember the fundamentals. Vitaly,Driftwood,Stonebat,Stray continue to push the envelop in all directions, for some of us we need to work in the realm of Light and composition, to push the creative values of the Camera and its firmware that has been created. Average Bit Rate 134.... Thanks gentlemen and the rest, contribute.

do the orion patches work with SD extreme 30MB/s cards? How about in 80% mode

@peterosinski I have personally had no problems with 80% at 720 60p using the 30mb 8GB card.

@uzland try this.
After you have updated the gh2 with the new settings, check your menu settings and set them they way you want, now turn off the gh2.
Then turn it on again, and NOW FORMAT the sdcard.
Going this route give me a lot less errors.

@Stray Isn't Neoscene better than 5D2RGB for color grading as it upsample 4:2:0 to 4:2:2?

@klem007 hi, I hack again using rocket V3 and it works fine with the card I have, I was getting over 50 mb on the clip I try, I need to go and shoot something real to be able to see how it works. I guess "adaptable bit rate" means that it may go higher sometime depending on what I am shooting? I do not know I have to see if it will still work on other situations, I am very exited...

@terry2 I'm not sure why you're aiming this question at me, or in this thread, but 5D2RGB puts out 4:2:2 anyway. 5D2RGB is a conversion tool, not a grading package. You use it for any number of reasons; if your using an NLE, or any other kind of app, that doesn't support AVCHD (and I don't think there are many that don't now).. or you don't trust the way your application is converting/upsampling the AVCHD footage. Or you think it gives you a better starting point for grading/CC work. Yeah, Neoscene upsamples your AVCHD footage for you anyway, Premiere will also upsample it to 4:4:4, Vegas upsamples too IIRC. Pretty much every half decent application upsamples your footage before any processing is performed on it.

Edit : ah right so neoscene is just another conversion tool (I figured maybe it was something else too) , shows what I know, then the answer is I've no idea what the difference would be. Apart from that 5D2RGB is free. I've never used neoscene.

@driftwood Hello Nick once again thanks for your amazing settings...I have a question though. Which settings in the GH2 do YOU use? Nostalgic? Cinema?? Do you have a prefered one?

@exilenorth Awesome footage and these settings obviously allow GH2 to produce a very detailed wide shot. Just an observation - has anyone noticed that in areas where red is very saturated there is a lot of 'blocking' or jagged edges happening with that color? I've noticed this on my footage with various monitors, not sure if its the monitor? Seems to only happen with bright red areas of the image, while all other details are crisp.

@hawk312 thats the next evolution of the Dark Matter MAtrix to look at - the Chroma Red (Cr) ... doing this at the mo...
