@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.

@driftwood

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.

I'm shooting with a Sandisk 64GB 95MB/s card.

hello,

since we are talking about spanning,,,

I have been trying to get an intra patch to span without much luck...

anyone have a great intra frame spanning patch in the works?

• I don't know if someone has already reported that. If you work with multiple GH2s don't use different patches, it messes everything up in post (at least in Premiere pro). For example : If I record 60p on both cameras I wont be able to get slow mo in post on both cameras, one will be OK and the second one will look like 23.976 @ 40%.

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 !

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 rarely shoot long takes that require spanning.I remember running into the same problem once when recording a live performance about a year ago and merging fixed the problem with missing frames. Maybe just test with two files??

@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?

@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

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.

@Gardner So are you saying that Nostalgic is best for low light shooting? If so how?
