    This was made for you guys :-)

    BTW: Cluster has always been a Long GOP patch. We've been thru many implementations now.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Here you go. Probably the most stable settings to date.

    *** NEW *** Cluster v6 'DREWnet' - The Ultra Reliable Setting is now released.

    • iA recordings in HBR look stunning.
    • 720p60 modes span and look great.
    • 720 modes with Etc and iDynamic on High actually works.
    • You DON'T neccesarily need the bestcard for this setting.
    • GH2: 24pH / L Both look great and will regurlarly resolve the target Q of 16 where possible.
    • Tested by twelve beta testers to work on GH2 and GFx.
    • Incorporates the best of Orion & Sedna matrices for those familar to Driftwood GOP1 settings.

    Hi @zinin, your videos with GF2 are incredible. Fast lens like 50mm 1.4 and cctv 25 mm 1.4 on GF2 makes the difference, indeed. I am very interested in your use of lomo cctv 25 mm 1.4 it seems a good lens, very sharp and natural look, however, like other 25mm cctv lens, I've noticed that has a specific look, too smooth on the corners. I want to know if this smooth-effect is more evident when you focus a close subject or viceversa...

    @driftwood I will do the testing once I am back from Holidays next week...

  • driftwooddriftwood

    ?! Not. We found regular errors on Flowmo when it was overstressed. And now Cluster v6 (below) clears the way for ALL modes without overtaxing your biitrate. Stunning quality.

    @coors Although I designed Flow Motion v2.02 explicitly for the GH2, it also appears to work reliably on the GF2 and GF3, with one exception - in-camera playback does not work reliably in 100Mbps modes. This is an unfortunate limitation of the GF2/3 that I found with any patch higher than about 50Mbps.

    In terms of motion picture quality, I wasn't able to compare FM2 with Cluster 720p modes myself, as Cluster consistently produced write errors on nearly all of my FM2 test subjects.

    Believe it or not, this is a footage from GF2!!!

    Cluster v5

  • nodnod

    On my Gf2 really liking Cluster 5 in 1080i seems to be a great quality to file size mix. I also use 720p for the ex tele zoom mode. This is also good but not having in camera playback is a real restrcition for me. I've tried disabling B files. This sorts playback but also causes write errors in EX mode.

    Any suggestions on how to keep the 1080i settings but have realiable 720 not using B frames would be really appreciated.

  • coorscoors

    Cluster5 is the clear winner, in my recent test. Both Cluster4 and Cluster5 are out-resolving Flowmotion2.02 and now Cluster5 has the better shadows, too. This is, of course, just my own opinion, based on my testing, which may or may not be accurate. I try to eliminate all variables, but there could easily be something that I've overlooked. I know that framegrabs, or whatever they're called, would be helpful here, but I don't know how to do that.

    I need some feedback on Cluster v5 on GF2. Please download and give it a whirl. Thanks, Nick

    I've been testing GOLGOP3-13_Std, Cluster4.0_setG_LargeGOP and Flowmotion v2.02 on the GF2, lately. I've accomplished one controlled lighting, iso640 test involving these three patch/settings and the Flowmotion 2.02 really does have the cleanest shadows.

  • fehafeha

    Have anyone tried FM2.02 on GF2 ?

  • AlbertZAlbertZ

    @zinin Great footage and color correction!Much better than GH1 color footage! the softness of this little camera give the footage a nice 16 mm look! ;)

    Nice!

    @diafragma1939 relative to your questions on the Flow Motion v2.0 thread. I only use the GF2 in 1080. I've been shooting in the two other formats for testing only. I don't own a GH2, so I am not disappointed with any aspect of the GF2's image quality. It serves my needs very well. If the GF2 had full manual controls, I'd be very, very happy, indeed.

    @maxmizer

    I suggest you to look into development plan.
    Right now I don't have time, and spend all available on GX1 and G3,

  • sshssh

    @zinin Try GOP3ZILLA (standard) http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2960/golgop3-13-gop3zilla-natural-for-mega-size-i-frame-lovers-/p1 and EOSHD GF2 setting on the bottom of this page: http://www.eoshd.com/gh2-patch-vault

    These two are the cleanest from everything I tested (pixel-peeping the screengrabs to see where codec falls apart) in AVCHD 1080. I am yet to try @subco 's MJPEG settings (ложил я на ГФ с большим прибором: http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/64258#Comment_64258 ), but he is right, the real resolution is way below even 720. My workflow for now is AVCHD@1080 and final export at 720.

    Guys, this isn't the development topic.

    VK never fails. It's a question of time.
