  • @Brian_Siano I'm talking about the Sandisk Extreme Pro 16gig cards.

  • @x_worpig_x

    I could span with 16g 30mb/s cards on MoonT7.

    I'm talking about the Sandisk Extreme Pro 16gig cards.

    ???

    Confused ideas...

  • @x_worpig_x

    That's a real surprise. Usually, the only cards that reliably span at high bit rates are the Sandisk Extreme Pro 64gig cards. I've used the 32 gig cards with Moon7, and they don't span. But you spanned with the 16 gig cards?

    Anyways, if anyone has solid information on using the faster Sony cards, I'd love to know about it before I try'em.

  • @IVIaverick52 The precise answer is yes -- but the truth is that I haven't actually reached that point, yet (my current projects are relatively massive, and unfortunately, that means 95% of my current time is dedicated to research and writing and not the fun stuff like editing). The direct answer is that you match your Blackmagic footage to your production -- and you have vastly less flexibility with the GH2 footage. And, honestly, the GH2 footage (although it has less aliasing and no moire) is tougher to work with when you mix in Blackmagic footage because it does have an H.264 look. That said -- only people like us recognize an H.264 look -- and general audiences are generally oblivious to this stuff. So -- you match your Blackmagic footage to your GH2 stuff -- because the Blackmagic footage can be made into almost any look. You can't transform the GH2 too far from its core recording state. That said -- the GH2 stuff is great and looks wonderful -- especially with settings by Driftwood.

  • @onionbrain I'm so glad to see you message,Thank you especially love my film :) Your encouragement is my greatest power :)。 love it , Thanks! :)

  • Drewnet T9 :)

  • gh2 moon 7

  • @onionbrain makes sense. I constantly forget that to the average viewer, most of the stuff that bugs us goes unnoticed to them. I'm in the middle of cutting a music video and was going through some of the edited footage with my client and caught myself explaining why the 4:2:0 color space doesn't work well with harsh colored venue lights such as all red or all blue... he looked at me like I was speaking another language haha!

  • @andy68 I really liked a lot of the tones you had going in that. Very nice. Was that graded in or is that mostly from the profile used?

  • will a PNY Elite Performance 64GB UHS-1 SDXC Flash Card SD SDHC 90MB/s Class sd work with moon T7?

  • @electria0814, nice video! What lens did you use for the sharp shots at the beginning (most of the first 25 seconds or so)?

    @andy68, super nice video!
    All shot on the Lumix 14-140? How much sharpening in post, and what type of color correction/grading process did you use?

    I'm beginning to think I should trade up my 14-42 for a 14-140. I just don't seem to get that quality of an image with the lower end lens. I'm also considering the big step up to the 12-35, too, since I don't necessarily need the long reach of the 140mm end...

  • I have to report a problem on moon T7. I dont know if somebody else has experienced it, but I had several freezes with moon T7 on a sandisk extreme 64gb. I was recocording with 1080 50i.

    When we started shooting, we could no watch the 50i files afterwards in camera. As it froze 2 times in a row while recording, i switched to 24p. Then suddendly we could see the 50i footage we had recorded. While recording with 24p, the preview lagged, like it had only 15 fps. Watching the files after recording, everything was smooth and fine.

    These problems are new to me, I have been using moon T5 for a long time. After this day I might put it back on...

  • @Bara The long and short it, I went back to T5 because of the same quirky issues. Wasn't a huge deal until I was on set and the client wanted to preview the last few takes on the monitor. T7 (shooting 24H) randomly decided it didn't want to do this. (Very embarrassing but the files were there when I copied to my computer....whew!) I did the usual, turn camera off then on again, recorded small quick clips at the end of long takes etc. ...but no luck. A couple times (2 out of 50) it just stopped recording. Unfortunately it was in the middle of a couple of really good takes. So I just couldn't risk it anymore. T5 is my stock firmware and has been for months. Perhaps T8 will be more stable. I know Nick is supposed to be close to releasing it.

    Good luck.

  • @maddog15 you have reported recording stops (2 out of 50). Was it T7 24H?

  • @Alex_K Yes T7 on 24H

  • @DeShonDixon I'd be really surprised if it didn't. The real question comes down to reliability and whether or not it spans.

    I was using two Panasonic brand 90/45Mb SDXC cards and they were complete trash. I was really surprised. Both ended up failing, one after the first day of use, during a format and the second a couple months later with a full day's shoot on it. Didn't span either. I'm determined to stick to Sandisk now.

  • @BurenetRhoades Yeah ive used the same 95mb 64 gb card for 2 years but I recently lost it during a shoot I trying to see of there was a cheap alternate so i can save some money or should i buy the same card

  • @DeShonDixon This may work...but its only $20 less than the Sandisk 64GB 95MB/s card. Maybe someone else here can chime in if they've had good luck with Sandisk 80MB/s cards like this one:

  • @Bara I have had issues with Moon T7 not recording and locking up the camera. I really like the IQ but have changed to HQ3GOP v12 for the moment, as it is really reliable, has good IQ and spans!

  • I haven't had the need to really push grading on the Drewnet T9 patch until recently. I had to get footage of a guitarist for a solo section in a music video and the venue had all red lights, non DMX controlled, and the lighting guy wouldn't change them to white. I'm amazed at what I was able to pull out of what I would have otherwise thought to be terrible footage. Here's a quick before and after CC.

  • @IVIaverick52 That is pretty amazing

  • @IVIaverick52 Thats kickass dude! I have a shot that is similar.. Can you tell me how you were able to take it there?

  • @Aashay in After Effects it took quite a bit of manipulation in the curves. I lowered the red across the board. Lows, mids, and highs all reduced with a curve reducing mids even more. When it started to look relatively de-saturated but neutral, I added a slight S curve and reduced the white clipping point while bringing up the mids slightly to compensate for the huge mid reduction in the red channel. This takes a bit of playing with since skin tones have so much red in them. From there I just tweaked the blue and green channels and increased the saturation until I got something adequately natural looking.

  • @TATZU well yes he is not the best lol! Thanks for the feedback
