GH2 Flow Motion v2 - 100Mbps Fast Action Performance & Reliability for Class 10 SD cards

LPowell

@Sage Sorry, I gave up on it since I wasn't able to produce a reliable 3-GOP version of 720p mode.

Another CS6 diagonal noise workaround to avoid the aggressive chroma smoothing of 5d2rgb: Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 to prepare footage

H.264 Proxy:

23.97 Framerate - 960X1080 - 16X9 Widescreen Pixel Aspect Ratio - VBR 1 Pass - 11 Target Bitrate - 15 Max Bitrate - Keyframe Distance of 6

59.97 Framerate - 640X720 - 16X9 Widescreen Pixel Aspect Ratio - VBR 1 Pass - 11 Target Bitrate - 15 Max Bitrate - Keyframe Distance of 9

@sage Wondering if this was fixed in the cs6 6.02 update released September 6th. I'm still on CS5, but will upgrade soon...

Sage

I am fully up to date; but a good point nonetheless.

@LPowell. I am very close to starting some serious tests of my 3D rig, and from a 'I sort of (barely) understand it all' position I am thinking that FM would be a suitable patch. What are your thoughts on this?

LPowell

@kavadni I don't have much experience myself with 3D rigs.

@Lpowell, thanks I shall have another read through those forums

Just used Flowmotion 2.2 today for a showreel shoot... The footage is the best I've seen from the GH2 thus far IMO. Thanks for all your hard work LPowell and Vitaliy!

I feel like many Gh2 shooters just don't understand what dynamite you've got here..

Hey here's a final product filmed with FM 2.02- the "concert" scenes at the end are FM2, the handheld interview camera was AN444 Nebula sharp.

It worked pretty well, but in any situation with a high dynamic range (a spotlight on a performer), the dark areas would exhibit some extreme banding and noise, rendering the shot pretty much unusable. This also happened on Sanity during an emergency patch switch once I realized this live, so it's probably not FM2.

LPowell

@silvertonesx24 Congratulations on a professional topnotch production!

@LPowell, sorry for the dumb question, but assuming I dont need audio, am I better off using 80% VMM instead of 30pHBR ?

BTW a HUGE thanks for bringing out ONE patch that does it all excellently ! ; )

Sage

Yes

Thanks

My latest from Tahiti. GH1 and GH2, Flowmotion/LPowell settings, 720p all clips, including the chopper footage. Lens, 14-140 kit, 20mm pancake and Canon FD 50 f1.4 for all the night shots.

LongJohnSilver

Wow I liked!

I've seen a couple of zoom shots from the elicopter (I believe). Did you zoom manually with the 14-140?

Nice indeed

Rambo

Yep, manually, but some of the clips are smoothed in post. There are some technical errors and a few shots where i didn't nail focus, but hard to get right on a one take one off event like this.

exilenorth

@Rambo so when were you working on your focus? 2 or 3 feet off the deck.. great job. Gh2 Gh1, yes . the mighty mites.

Swiss_Boy

Flow Motion is my new favorite patch i just wish 720/50p would never crash but it is crashing from time to time and i gotta remove the batterie but that's not a big problem. These 2 videos were shot in HBR/25p and 720/50p for slow motion. Oh yeah and thanks to @L1N3ARX cause he inspired me a lot for some of my grading process.

mozes

Wooww real nice video @Swiss_Boy. i like the grading and the fine details from FM setting..

I recently used FlowMotion 2.02 to shoot underwater footage at Curacao, I opened a separate topic on this in case somebody would like to discuss the particularities of GH2 underwater videographing in general.
