Panny HVX200 - 60fps played back as 30?

Eric

Following up on this because I just had someone email me on this issue. Try capturing WITHOUT audio and try if it works.

I only had access to the camera for that day.

Anyway, I got it to work -- just not via the plug-in.

Similar thing to Eric here, but with the EX-1. 720/50p shot in overcrank at 50fps. I now want to drop it onto a 25fps timeline... can i just drop the speed by 50% on the timeline, my guess is no.

I searched on google, but found replies saying yes and no to the above. The DVC Pro framrate converter doesn't work for Ex-1 files.

If you shot it at 720p50 and had overcrank set to 50fps, there was no overcrank. You need the base setting at a number smaller than the overcrank value. For example, 720p25 overcranked to 50fps. This will play back at 50% speed in both camera and timeline. What the camera is doing is doubling the number of frames so slow motion is still 100% smooth.

Check that you didn't in fact have it set to 720p25. If you didn't, then you did just a straight record at 720p50. In this case retime in motion or fcp in your timeline (timeline set to 720p25). Using motion tabe, set time to 50%. Use care with frameblending as it is less jittery but has more smear for faster moving objects.

Thanks Shawn.

Sorry, i meant 'slow fast motion' as sony seem to call it

So for doing slow-mo clips it should be set to 720p25, then quick motion set to 50.

For now i did 720p50 with the intention of dropping it onto a 25p timeline, however FCP doesn't automatically 'slow' the clip down. I've played with the speed setting, and it seems to look ok without frame blending.

However for hairy frogfish strikes i need about 100fps
