@Rambo It was indeed the frame limit, which was set too high.

@driftwood Thanks for your interest. I haven't noticed any skewing of the B frames. As far as the 50fps FB2 buffer size, I remember setting that way back for stability in PAL (which was a real bitch to obtain with HBR in the mix). Since everything seems to be working, I'm not too keen to change it.

@Ralph_B To clarify my previous query. From what I understand, regular video mode crops and downsamples the sensor to 1920X1080P. ETC uses the center part of the sensor for the same pixels (about 2MP per frame) However, is there a way to get the uncompressed full 16MP 4X3 frame in AVCHD video mode for downsampling or cropping in post?

@peternap , Thanks, I always enjoy boosts to my ego ;) This is the second video from day 1 of the event. It's not quite done, and the music needs to be completely redone as it sucks and I gave up half way through. I just realized I have too much on my plate for the weekend, and most of next week, so rather than leaving everyone waiting for more cute girls I figured I would play what the people want (cute anime girls). You may be well advised to turn off the volume and play your favorite anime theme song.

@Ralph_B , I shot this with Sanity 5.1. Is it just me or does it use much less card?

@mee Just watched your video - great stuff and a real showcase for Sanity. I like how you nailed the sharpness. What lens and sharpness setting did you use?

Here's a few shots of Sanity 5.1 (just loaded it yesterday...) while testing my new SLR Magic 35mm T1.4 Cine lens.

So far, I love BOTH the lens AND the new Patch. Thanks again @Ralph_B for your efforts in perfecting this very economical and quality patch!

Here's a screen grab from my promo shoot in the Keys with Sanity 5.1. Saw this at sunset and couldn't believe it! Shot with the 20mm 1.7 at I believe 640 ISO wide open and straight from 5DtoRGB. Looks like a damn Corona Ad!

Cheers @RalphB!

May I ask you what matrices are you using in Sanity 5.1?

Thanks.

@simonhestermann You do realize that FSH is an interlaced mode? It won't look right unless it's de-interlaced on a TV, giving you 1080 60P. A few computer media players can properly de-interlace it, but many can't.

As for the "jerking at edges", that's been discussed a zillion times in these forums. Try shooting with a slower shutter speed, 1/40th second or even 1/30th second, and see how that looks to you.

Here is mine video, almost entirely shot using Sanity 4 on GH2 and Vario 100-300

@alguti Load Sanity into ptools and simply save the firmware. Don't make any changes. As for "film like motion", the camera is what it is. The patches really don't affect motion. The biggest effect on how motion appears will be to change the shutter speed. Slower shutter speeds will produce smoother motion. Faster shutter speeds will produce more jittery motion. Shoot the same thing at shutter 1/30 sec and 1/250 sec, and you'll see what I mean.

@jjay What mode did you shoot in? HBR mode would produce a 25i file.

This is the video I was talking about...
