anyone can give me a tip how to edit/combine spanned files in premiere with a macbook pro into one new file?
I'm recording on 2 x GH2 at the same time and I have one large monitor. I am taking HDMI outputs from both cameras to a basic switcher which is connected to my single large monitor. When I switch between camera views the GH2 whose HDMI output I am switching away from stops recording. I assume this just happens, but wondered if anyone had found a workaround or had a different experience or my switcher is pants. Thanks.
we can get long time recording with new driftwoods... 64gb 95m/s sandisk with quantum v9b http://web.forret.com/tools/filesize.asp?speed=154&unit=Mbps&dur=3200 with quantum 100 http://web.forret.com/tools/filesize.asp?speed=100&unit=Mbps&dur=5000
hai anyone compared quantum 100 / 88mbit/ quantum v7/ quantum v9b and so on so,...all together? ;)
@ReflexFilms, try "AQUAMOTION ver1 Experimental patch".
i dont have any probs with it in 720p pal mode.
High iso's and high shutter, even strong contrast Light/Dark with high iso and shutter, dident give any problem.
AQUAMOTION ver2, did not work that good.......!!
Got my first gh2 today ,.. Any one please teach me how to patch it,.. Hai which patch works well in low light? I am planning to shoot a shot film with my classmates,.. Got gh2 + 14-140 + 100-300 + 32gb 45m/s class10 sdhc card ,..I want superb video quality in 1080 H 24p mode. please help me ;)
thanks for the answer on my ETC causing the Eoshd vanilla 44 hack to go ping. It only seems to happen with certain types of shots - i was in bright daylight shooting a mirage on a road - using the ETC to get really close.
My Gh2 is a US model (bought from b and H) that i am forcing into 50 p so i can get compatibility with 25p easily for multi cam interviews.looks like I MAY have to keep the gh2 in 720p 60 mode and use my gh1 for interviews - which i am happy to do.
Are there any patches that are known to be pretty safe in720p 50 ? I am more than happy with the results from moderate bit rates - i dont need to go crazy with bit rates and push the laws of diminishing returns.
As an aside i have recently sold my HVX200 with 2 x adaptor lens - and am pretty happy with the incredible performance jump i am getting with the GH2. Its VERY impressive - and i havent even thrown any amazing lenses on yet. Having onboard ND filters was nice though!
@ReflexFilms (From your question in the other thread)
720 ETC is not a problem for every patch, but issues with 720 ETC are frequent and common in many.
For what it's worth, on an Australian hacked GH2 had more issues with that in P50 than I did in P60 mode.
Of course, check uncheck 720p size patches :-)
Recently updated my GH2 with "NEW Quantum50 v1" patch, after the update noticed that the MJPEG videos are coming in a 2048x864 resolution and seems like the video is stretched to very wide aspect 2.35:1 ration, where object look wider than actual width. Is there any way to change or fix the MJPEG format. Please note that, all AVCHD outputs are coming out as expected and seems like working fine.
Please help.
Hi all,
I've been using various hacks for a while in 24p, but I'd never touched 720 modes before. Now I need to shoot some second camera for a main camera shooting 720 25p. When I got into Manual Movie mode though, everything appears interlaced, both in the live view and recorded. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
sorry if this has been covered already.
Thanks everyone, audio would be nice for playback since we'd be looking at actor's performances... Great community here willing to help!
FlowMotion is reported to have little playback problems if any, on Class 10 cards: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2099/gh2-100mbps-flow-motion-patch-v1.0-with-50mbps-file-spanning/p1
I have been testing Quantum v9b lately and don't have any problems playing back in camera other than audio. As @mozes said though, the audio is only bad in camera, plays back perfect on my computer.
i have the same card and they all play back just fine... just audio will sometimes be bad, but in post its oké.
Quantum plays back fine for me.
Sorry, should've said I'm using Sandisk Extreme 32GB 30/mb cards. I did find out that the camera would only play back the first few seconds of a 4min clip, but shorter clips do play back. Anybody else have input on playback? Thanks...
if it dont play back, switch the gh2 off, and then on again, that trick works most off the time for me..
I've been scouring the threads in search of the answer to: What's the highest quality intra patch that can play back in camera? I've tested the seaquake patch, and it looks great, but I need to play back on set. Any ideas?
@rajamalik If you want something that will give you longer recordings, you can go with Driftwood's "quantum 50" patch. From what I hear it provides good quality, not as good as quantum 100, or quantum v9, but better quality than stock and longer recording time then these other hacks you listed.
hai i have a doubt which is the best mid range long time recording patch in picture quality and low light performance is it the "quantum 100" or "EOSHD Intra-esting 88mbit" or "Quantum v5" or anything else??? i am looking for the best patch i can use for longer recording in 1080 H 24p mode..any suggestions?? please attach the patch too,... ;)
@JDN Thanks a lot for your help, gonna try both !
@MisterJ I'll ask our assistant about how he gets our 720p60 footage into a 24p timeline in FCP. All I know is avid (Controller > "Ignoreqtrate true" > Import).
@JDN Thanks. So I need to start practice some sweep pans. =D
Haven't yet test this workflow using FCP, Cinematool and Compressor - but doubt that retiming control is that smart in blending frames. I mean if I shoot in 50p and use that workflow in converting material to 25p. Let's see.
