Right-click on video, Watch on Vimeo, look under the video window there for full description with settings and workflow. He says: "Shot on the Panasonic GH2 with Sanity5 settings. Smooth -2-2-2-2, 720 50p Lenses: SLR Magic 12mm, Voigtländer 25mm, Canon FD 50mm and 135mm, Vivitar FD 28-90 and 70-210 B-roll with Sony HX9V Edit in Sony Vegas 11 - Grading in Magic Bullet Looks Music by Massive Attack: Teardrop"

Thanks mo7ies! I was interested in the shutter speed. There is some juttering that I can't tell if it's Vimeo compression or shutter speed or other....Really doesn't matter since it's in 720-50.

Hi guys, my very first attempt at pretty much everything.color grading lens whacking, 720 slo mo. My friend gave me a old vivitar 80-200mm lens I did not have an adapter for, thus the reason for lens whacking attempt I used sanity5. Since im a noob any advice or tips. Please

Disclaimer: very shaky footage no suport whats so ever. Does any body have recommendations for tripods monopods etc. Thanks

Does any body have recommendations for tripods monopods etc

Yes. Use them. Also handheld shots should not be so unstable - use two hands to hold the camera, and viewfinder pressed against your eye as third point of contact, this will help very much. Also lean on something - a pole, a fence... anything that gives you - and thus your camera - stability.

@mo7ie Thank for the tips. In this particular situation i had the vintage 80-200 zoom not connected to the camera so one hand was holding the lens, other on the camera body for me which was extremely difficult, but im learning. Definitely going to use the three point contact method in future.

First, have a look at the serial number on the lens. The first one or two digests will let you find out who made it. Some of the Vivatar's are unbelievably good...some are dogs.

If it looks like a keeper, get an adapter. They're cheap. Use a tripod or at least a monopod. Handheld is almost impossible with longer lenses without IS.

If you have one of the good one's, you'll love it with Sanity 5.

I just finished testing a Tokina RMC 80-200 F4 with Sanity 5 This is a screen grab of it at 200mm f5 and in TE mode. 24P Smooth -2

@peternap I like the image from the tokina you displayed. I not sure weher or not i like the vivitar zoom, that i have. I will have to put it through proper testing but from what i seeing its not bad. Also i cant seem to find what mount it is. If you have an idea of what it might let me know. Im guessing Olympus because of the o/om at written at the bottom of lens. But want to be sure before i purchase one online. Here's the info:Vivitar 80-200mm f4.5 mc no 28139131.

Sorry for getting off topic, i really love this patch as well (sanity 5) for its lower bit-rate easier to play with in my very much outdated mac mini.

This should work.. http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Adapter-Olympus-Thirds-Panasonic/dp/B002TSWTAA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337910017&sr=8-1

Just posted a video review for the EM320E shotgun mic, using the Sanity 5 and Pasedena Pulse audio patch:

Shot on the 20mm pancake with autofocus enabled. Dynamic picture style -2, -2, -2, -1 ISO 400, F2.8 Whatever the white balance is that looks like a circle with little lines emanating outwards all around. Incandescent? don't know....

Straight out of the camera, no mucking about it post.

How do I use Sanity 5 with Pasedena Pulse at the same time?

yoclay

For those folks testing in HBR (PAL), how would you compare v5 with Driftwood's latest?

peternap

@yoclay It's really impossible to compare the two (Really with Driftwood's it's 3 latest) because they are targeted at different uses. Driftwood's settings are amazing and I do use his night settings for certain night shots. I do almost 100% run and gun and for that, Sanity 5 is far better. I'm still not completely convinced Sanity 5's lower bitrate is better than some of the older Sanity versions...but I'm not convinced it isn't either.

If I only did planned cinema shots, I may be temped to use one of the High BR settings from Driftwood but for a single very high quality and versatile patch, Sanity is hard to beat. Then you have to look at Flow Motion also (Which is geared more to MPEG).

What I'm saying is that there are a lot of very good settings to choose from. Try them all and see what fits.

@DeShonDixon

@subco uploaded a merged patch here near the bottom of the page. Use the second one (setb.ini)

DeShonDixon

@tcarretti I dont see anything?

tcarretti

@DeShonDixon

Sorry! Thought I posted a link...

Just go to page 8 of this thread and you'll see a post by subco (second from the bottom, I think...) Use the second file (or setb.ini) as he suggests.

DeShonDixon

@tcarretti Alright thanks!

DeShonDixon

@tcarretti Oh and I know you were talking about trying different export settings for your videos sometime ago but I would say export you video out as a Cineform.avi format with filmscan 1 and with yuv 4:2:2 selected then after that take it into virtualdub and export out as a xvid video file for the web

mo7ies

+1 on Cineform - it has been my "digital intermediate" codec and workflow for years now. However, for online videos, I recommend the export settings described here: http://walkingad.com#SDXC

DeShonDixon

@mo7ies Well yeah if I had of gone in depth on the xvid part the settings would have been pretty similar to the ones on that link
