@jorgecuevajr Nice work and grade. I'm guessing it was the ole in car driving tracking shots there eh? Looks good. All 60P?
Spanning: Using Edius 6v0 & 6v5 files span correctly provided they are transferred from the card/camera using the built in source browser. The directory tree from the card is also added into the project along with the selected MTS files. My understanding of Vegas is that files transferred using the device explorer will also span correctly. I would not expect files simply dragged / copied from the card to span.
@jorgecuevasjr, nice work! I really like the location and the grade you gave it. How'd you pull off the tracking shots?
I've been doing the same thing since my first patch: shoot, transfer MTS files to backup drive, import in PrePro, drop on the timeline. I have never had an issue merging two files from a spanned take in the past, they've always played seamlessly. However, with Drewnet T8 I am missing a few frames of the spanned file resulting in a slight jump cut.
If what I've described above is NOT the correct workflow, could you please advise without linking to some other thread?
Thank you kindly, much appreciated.
little experimental film i shot a month or so ago using Moon T5.
I was shooting today with Drewnet t8 1080p24h. The camera was set to standard profile(-2,-2,0,-2) mostly at ISO 160. About 10% my shots have this terrible artifacting. The image seems to disintegrate into pixels. Often it seems to happen when the camera is moving but not always. The image will break down and then come back together and then break down again repeatedly.
Is this a problem with the hack, the camera or the memory card? Has anybody experienced this? Any ideas what is going on? I shot yesterday using Drewnet t8 same settings as above but used the 1080p24L settings and didn't have this problem at all.
Here's a link to a 15second clip on youtube:
Moon T5 does look very very nice and is very stable except when I use my 12mm f2 @ f4 (for better sharpness) in 720 60p, @ f2 it is stable.
I'm still looking forward to the new BOOM with 720 60p !
I recorded a school play using DREWnet Trial 8. The clip spanned about 10 times for the 1:15:00 show. There are no glitches or missing frames when the media is brought correctly into Premiere Pro. My guess is those missing frames are due to operator or NLE error, not the actual patch.
Short vid made with Drewnet V8, very pleased with the results. Slightly graded using ColorGHear for AE. All Leica Summilux 25 mm f/1.4 lens.
I don't believe I encountered this before when I was using Moon. Im using Vegas Pro 12. I'm going to see if this occurs with Moon T5 which ive since reloaded.
@Meierhans I've never had to merge MTS files prior to dropping them on the timeline in Premiere CS6. I've only had this issue with drewnet T8. Can you, or anyone else for that metter, confirm that using the technique you linked to a merged drewnet T8 file is free of dropped frames on a PC?
A small clip out of the SD card, recorded with the "Redshift 1b". Best image quality I have seen so far in a long GOP patch in 50i @35MBps (saves a lot card space). Smooth -2,-1,0,-1. Sandisk 32GB Extreme Video HD 30MB/s card. Panasonic Lumix 14-45mm lens. Thanks sir Driftwood, excellent settings as always. I think this will be my regular patch for paid jobs, after I make sure that it spans and that doesn't have any issues on other modes too (720p, 24p). Press Download.
@jdenkevitz Once again: You need to merge the MTS BEFORE you import into your NLE to avoid dropping frames. It has been discussed already: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2169/using-ffmbc-ffmpeg-for-broadcast-for-avchd-rewrapping-conversion/p1
Has anyone ever seen this? It's Moon5, transcoded to ProRes422 via 5DtoRGB with the same setting we've all been using via Shian, then ran through Lock and Load on next to nothing settings. It doesn't matter how drastic LL settings are, it still does it. On the other hand, it's fine in Motion and Smooth Cam. Cut in FC7.

Each new file (spanned clip) is missing several frames (3-4) from the start. I have to offset each new clip on the timeline in Vegas by 3-4 number of frames in order to match footage and audio from other cameras which were still recording uninterrupted over the same period of time. If I don't offset each new spanned clip, the cameras are out of sync. The cameras only ever go out of sync with one another right when there is a break on the gh2 footage from spanning. Only the GH2 goes out of sync.
Without a doubt, when it spans, its missing a small amount of time (ie 80 to 150 milliseconds or so) of footage and audio. This is Drewnet trial 8.
Was recording a live band with multiple cameras and with Drewnet v8 I also experienced skipped frames when spanning at 24p. Using a sandisk 64gb 95MB/s card.
