HBR = 30fps? 60fps slowed down = jittery?
  • Hi! NEW to the forum and about to Donate in just a second as I have learned a lot on here!

    You guys have made me almost sell my 5Dmkii, almost...!

    But, I have to say that at this point I'm a little disappointed with the GH2.

    First, the hack I'm using is spanmybitchup v2b. I'm shooting on a Nikkor 50mm 1.8.

    I was shooting a music video yesterday and had the GH2 as my B camera. I tried to shoot on HBR...when I got home to edit, I realized that it's been shot in 30fps...super let down. I can't use this footage as everything I ever shoot in in 24p....sigh....

    Last weekend, I brought it down to Houston for a celebrity basketball tournament. I get there, set up my 5D and walk the floor capturing dunks and stuff like that in 60fps. I get home to edit, interpret the footage to 24fps...its VERY jittery. So, I take a look at more footage. Also jittery and not a smooth slow motion. Some of it was. Weird.

    Questions: If I shoot in 24p cinema and I have the hack installed...am I even shooting with the highest quality the hack has to offer or is this still just normal, stock GH2 footage?

    60fps. Why is it that I am getting jittery slow motion when conformed down to 24fps? Why is it smooth sometimes? I REALLY don't like to roll the dice especially for events...if you sleep on capturing a moment, or it doesn't turn out good...it's gone forever.

    That's all!

    Thank you guys so much!!!
