    I did some testing in between storms with Zaven13's Sanity/Sedna settings. 720/60 straight out of the camera.

  • woodybrandowoodybrando

    @LumixUser thx, it goes orion/sedna etc. i am mumbling a bit but describing each shot as it goes by. Also the sedna is punched in like a millimeter.

    @JPB1138 Lovely shots - really inventive angles. Beautiful.

  • thepalaliasthepalalias

    @mee The only side effects are the aforementioned lack of in camera playback and (for patches that are right on the edge of working, sometimes it pushes it barely over the edge, but that is unusual).

    Also, the bitrate for audio is misreported in some applications but this does not affect editing or playback.

    @JPB1138 Nice shots. :)

    @mee If you want to try out PAL from an NTSC camera or NTSC from a PAL camera its easy. Ensure ptools menu in 'Movie Related Restrictions' so that PAL <> NTSC Menu' is checked on any of the settings first. Flash bin with that setting checked to a firmware and upload in camera. Then goto menus in camera as seen in pictures below and ensure you set the Video Out to the Country type (PAL or NTSC) as desired. Shut off cam, turn back camera on and then format card to that country setting and youre good to go. Done

    This is a short piece with two different color grades using the GH2 and the Driftwood Dark Matter V3 Hack. Loving the detail and the gradability of the driftwood settings.

    I plan on shooting a little narrative piece coming up, and really wanted to test looks out at the location. Turned out nicely.

    Lenses used:

    Lumix/Leica 25mm 1.4 Tokina 11-16mm Canon 300mm L 2.8

    Enjoy!

    ps: im not a plus member so download the 1080p file! still not as good as the raw but better and in 1080p. detail is much better in full 1080

  • meemee

    @driftwood, I figured I would try out pal and the 720 50p since you mentioned it works better.. however my camera said "cannot record file number exceeded". I reset the file counter (I think) and still the same. Is this normal, and how do I get around it to use Pal?

    I will be away for a day or 2 so no more questions for a bit, I promise !

  • meemee

    @thepalalias Sorry if I missed a page, but is their any reason for not raising the audio bitrate from 192kbs other than in camera playback? I'm going to do some scenic stuff tomorrow, and though audio won't be crucial, if their are no ill affects I would just assume take it up to 448.

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    Does Canos majoris is going to be the a max detail patch like Sedna ???

  • thepalaliasthepalalias

    @Zaven13 I look forward to checking it out. Sanity 4 came out recently Ralph_B started the thread earlier this week.

  • duartixduartix

    @driftwood : Can't this initial rate control issue be solved by using a higher Initial Quantizer? Or does it only work for 1080 modes?

  • gamebgameb

    I use Cluster V1 with GH2 and GF2. 25fps HBR. Why can I choose on the GF2 between 36Mbps (FSH, not spanning) and 24Mbps (FH, spans on sandisk 32GB) and on the GH2 I only have the 36Mbps (not spanning) option? Am I mixing up things right now?

  • meemee

    Just 4 more untouched files shot with sedna. First two are .mov (jpg) second two are mts files. I am pleased with the colors and smoothness, but either I am noticing my monitors pixels or I am seeing some lines in the sky. Not sure if that's what you call banding, as I am still quite the noob, but I see it more on the jpegs than the mts files. I'll have to check later what ISO etc I was using as VLC on windows is not showing this info. On linux it is there though. Why? I dunno. All 4 files are at the one link.

    @driftwood waiting on Cluster 2.0 ? :-)

  • peternappeternap

    @driftwood I don't understand exactly what people are having trouble with. Is it that mid range cards have trouble with 720p60 or is there an image quality issue with it?

  • vladnikvladnik

    @driftwood i would like to do test sedna with different deblocking values ... i understand how loop filter works but i'm not that good using hex ... can u explain me what are hex values for example -6 or 0 ... thanks for doing all this great work...

    @driftwood

    "- if you leave the cap on for the first 4 seconds..."

    Not literally speraking, or? Just don't use the first four seconds, or?

  • driftwooddriftwood

    720p50 is great, 720p60 can be great - if you leave the cap on for the first 4 seconds...on certain settings of mine... basically there's problems with getting initial rate control 'under control' with 60p.

  • RafaRafa

    @CraftyClown There is no problem with 720p50. The problem is with 720p60 due to that the this format is tied to 1080p24. Somehow there is no way to making one good without screwing the other one.

    This doesn't happens with 720p50: Sedna at 720p50 is GOP-3 while for 720p60 is not possible to implement such short GOP without screwing 1080p24.

    I think Sedna 750p50 is great. Two post before your first post in this page there is a clip of Sedna AQ20-b shot at 720p50.
