Final Cut X crashes as soon as I go to import any of the hacks. Mysteron, Sedna. I have tried different cards and restarted. It just crashes as soon as it looks at the file. I have even Clip Wrapped the MTS files and then tried importing. Kills it. Then I resaved the file in Quicktime. I had Quicktime totally rewrite the file and it still crashed FCPX. Any ideas? Thanks.
My first test project. Used sedna q20 a. I don't really know much about filming stuff, so I am starting out with some not for profit stuff. Hopefully this embeds. I used the Voit 25 .95, the voit, 50 mm 1.1, the zeiss 50 mm 1.4, and I actually cant remember anything about my methodology or mentality regarding ISO or which lens was used on what shot. I just shot a bunch of stuff and then figured out how to use premier pro as I figured out how to put something together that sort of made sense.
I'm not sure if the quality is anything to write home about, but I hope the video is effective. I also was involved with the recording / mastering of the audio track on here.
@elkanah77 That was fuckin' sweet.
@elkanah77 excellent stuff.
@peaceonearth There is no 720p advantage to shooting Mysteron Burst vs. Mysteron as far as I could tell in my testing. The big difference between the two is 24H. So I would just use Mysteron if I were going that route.
Mysteron's 720P stability/spanning is higher than that of Sedna, but the Sedna options may provide higher image quality if it is sufficently stable. I shot the slow-motion for Joanna St. Claire's music video (where the GH2 was used, at least) in Sedna AQ1 C with a 1/4000 shutter for the most part. I used Mysteron when filming a martial arts exhibition match. While my 720P testing is less extensive than my 24H testing, those are the two settings (pre-Canis Majoris) I would look at first. Sanity was what I used before Sedna.
As for CM, it remains to be scene how each version will perform in that respect.
Shot this with a Kowa 2x anamorphic adapter with Sedna Q20a in avchd mode thus the very wide 3:55. I actually like the the dramatic 3:55 ratio more and more because it reminds me of those epic blockbusters from the 50's and 60's. All clips went through Neat noise reduction and therefor had to sharpen things up a bit and did some gamma adjustments as well. Standard picture profile -2 -2 0 -1. Half of the shots in slow-mo.
Yeah I really like their music. I am not sure what model the jib was but I remember that the brand was EZ-jib (it must have been a really old model, at least 10 years old) =P
Which hack for shooting 720p60 and then slowing further with optical flow. I am guessing Mysteron Burst?? Any suggestions welcome.
@Adde awsome! Sounds a little like AHA! has passed a rejuvenating cure, I like it. Well cut too! What kind of crane did you use?
@Bueller You should post a frame from one of the clips we shot with Mookie. :)
I put up pictures of comparisons of Sedna AQ1A & C, Mysteron, Mysteron Burst and a few others with the Canis Majoris versions released so far. http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/59978#Comment_59978
@pinger007 Thanks! I shot 1/50th shutter for the 1080/24 and 1/125th for the 720 slo-mo. The face CU I used a Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 and the Eye ECU I used the SLR Magic 12mm in Ex. Tele mode. I shot underwater with the DiCAPac WP-H10 and my lens was the 20mm pancake.
Love the shots. Wonderful skin tones! What shutter did you shoot with? 1/40th? 1/50th? What lens were you using for the face CU and the eye ECU? Finally, what setup did you use for the underwater shot?
Thanks.
Hey guys... here's some .mts raw screen grabs from a music video I was working on. All shot with Sedna AAQ1 and Smooth -2,-2,-2,-2. All was shot 1080/24p except for the underwater shot. The underwater is going to be reshot since it was slightly out of focus. If you have any questions, ask away.
Here's a video we shot in about thirty minutes and edited together in about the same amount of time. Forgive the roughness, lack of continuity, and slightly too loud volume.
It was done using the Quantum Orion 4vB. It's somewhat compressed and has no color correction.
