  • DeShonDixonDeShonDixon

    @jhero What lens did you shoot on?

  • strancalistrancali

    @jhero nice @rockroadpix great, even if its just a few seconds :)

  • jherojhero

    @strancali One camera was sedna AQ1B and another Orion 4b

  • rockroadpixrockroadpix

    @strancali I'll try to upload something tonight. I may have to wait until the spot is completed and on the air (7/16) due to client issues...

    smooth -2,-1,-2,-1 iso 200 Zeiss 50mm ZF around a 3.4(If I remember correctly)...

  • strancalistrancali

    @jhero very nice, which sedna did you use?

  • strancalistrancali

    @rockroadpix holy sh*t can you share a small clip and settings? ;)

    @driftwood sir which patch is very very good to blow up @ 2k. i wont use 2k mjpeg which has more noise and doesnt take much detail and color details in a shot. 2k mjpeg is worse than stock 24p 1080p avc.actually my upcoming ad project for a resort company is getting a commercial release. they are gonna project it in a 2k theatre. which patch i should take in this situation which can give me maximum result???

    New Quantum v9b or sedna A Aq1 or Mysteron or Mysteron burst or Canis Majoris night. i am looking for 24p.

    please suggest me i will wait until u reply to patch my cams back to the suggested one.

    thx

    I figured out my problem entirely...(after an entire day of internet searching and brain racking) The i.dynamic function on my camera was turned on high. Everything works smoothly after turning it off.

    @kholi. Sedna A Q20 24L=77,000,000. 24H=154,000,000

  • kholikholi

    Can anyone tell me what the Sedna Q20 SetA 24L Recorded Bitrate is? Can't find any info on that in the thread. Thanks.

  • brant_moorebrant_moore

    I was shooting with the exposure mode on Program AE.

  • jherojhero

    Here's a music video we did way back in March with Sedna! Can you spot the 60D footage?

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Are you shooting in 60/30 shutter on 720p60?

  • brant_moorebrant_moore

    I have read through all of these pages and cannot find the answer to my question.

    I have the v4 12/15 GOP settings loaded onto my GH2 with the transcend 32gb card. When I try to shoot in 720 60p (ideal framerate for purpose), i get the write speed limitations error.

    Ptools says these settings should work with cards 30Mb/s or less, so I'm wondering if maybe it is user error. Unless my card simply isn't fast enough.

    @driftwood Nick, I tested your latest setting on my motion deathchart on ISO1600, 250s and F/8

    24H... no problems on Transcend 32GB 20mb/s, Sandisk 8GB 30mb/s and Sandisk 64GB 95mb/s Spans on 95mb/s card, spanned files not playable in camera

    HBR... same as above

    SH... records up to 40 seconds depending on the card but always freezes without a card write error... just stops at i.e. 22 seconds and the battery has to be pulled. I already lowered the ISO to 800, shutter speed to 100 and F/5.6 but that doesn't improve the symptoms at all. Looks like camera memory issues, not card write issues.

    How can we 'tame' the 720p setting? I don't expect it to be as good as 24H, that's impossible but I would like it to be safe without freezes. I did the same test for Cake 2.3 and the 720p setting in that setting works flawlessly, even at the ISO1600,250s,F/8 extreme torture test.

    Keep up the good work!

  • konjowkonjow

    Which setting should i try lower first to achieve spanning in 25p? in quantum 9b for example?

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @peternap Its quite simple really. Its Canis Majoris Night setting (all modes Intra) except 720p is utilising Cluster V4's 12/15 GOP and mjpeg mode is now setup for 2k.

  • manakiinmanakiin

    Are image flicker and shadow pulsing hack related or is it just some camera glitch like ISO bug? It's just so random and I can't replicate the problem. I also can't see it on camera, it only becomes visible on the computer, so it's a big problem for me due to some extreme cases making shots unusable.

  • SangyeSangye

    @rajamalik That looked great. I love the sharp, low-contrast, low-saturation, lightly colorized look. Worked great for this. Hate zoos, though.

    @apix, i used to live on Metropolitan ave right off the Jackie. Every weekend there's a accident on that bitch!!! just two lanes, twists and turns aint no joke..

  • peternappeternap

    @driftwood You're losing me Nick.

    Is CROSSFIRE Variation 3: VY Canis Majoris 'Night matrix setting' + Cluster 24p/HBR 30p/25p GOP1 meets Cluster v4 GOP12/15 720p modes with adjusted I scaling tables. Just night settings or is it adjusted for a 24 hour setting?

    I love CM night...at night but not in daylight.

  • RRRRRRRR

    I tried out cluster v4 today, not 100% sure but I think it was the 6gop variation.. (I can check if you have any interest from this information).. Recording choked on a 64gb 95mbps sandisk once and I had multiple "cannot record, file number exceeded" errors, I had to format the card once to get it to record again but most of the time it was solvable with battery-pulls and file / folder resets. These problems normally occured after longer (succesfully spanned) recordings.

    I recorded in 24p H, ntsc mode.. Pretty detailed images with mostly highlights in them. I think I'll try out the new crossfire settings to see if that works better.

    From an IQ POV it looks very much like previous recordings I did with canis majoris night (from the same scene).
