100fps compression

[Damian Grady]

Hi all,

I'm planning to shoot a TVC at 100fps at 5kHD and just wondered what would be the maximum compression I can 'get away with'. I only have 2 x 1TB G-Drive Thunderbolt drives as backup media so I'm keen to keep the file sizes as small as possible without losing too much clarity.

Any advice or 'gotcha' warnings would be gratefully received.

Cheers

Always use the minimum compression at high speed, compression greater than 5:1 is generally a bad call IMHO. I used to say &:1, & 7:1 before that.................... When we shot film running the camera cost money which was a good discipline.

I am not sure you can get 100fps compression anywhere near 5:1, 6:1 or 7:1

5K HD @ 96fps possibilities:
RED Epic Dragon w/ 240GB 1.8" REDMAG = 13:1
RED Epic Dragon w/ 512GB or 1TB MINI-MAG = 11:1
RED Weapon MG w/ all MINI-MAGs = 10:1
RED Weapon CF w/ 512GB or 1TB MINI-MAG = 8:1

Personally I shoot high speed at the lowest possible REDCODE RAW Compression Ratio.
