Build 15 Problem

[Dylan Macleod CSC]

That's a Red-Drive dropping frames. It should have popped up on the LCD, indicating how many it dropped. It doesn't take much to induce, and it makes sense on a Tyler mount with combination of high frequency vibration and rotating on 2 of its axis'.

Redcine will not render through the drop frames, it just stops and gives an error. In the QT proxies they'll show up as green frames and when you render out through RedAlert, it'll show as a stutter.

Our first time using the Spacecam AND the Red-Drive had a lot of these problems, as long as we were rotating, doing fast pans, or if there was turbulence. We've since solved that problem and can shoot in any vehicle, drop frame free.

EDIT: I didn't read the post thoroughly enough, the drop frames shouldn't cause the codec error message. Not sure what the hell that is.

Hey CJ

How did you solve the turbulence/fast pans problem?

Thanks.

Dylan-

I wouldn't want our solution to cause any controversy on this board. Contact me off-list, cj at cjroy.net and I'd be happy to share.

CJ, you can't just leave us hanging like that. Inquiring minds need to know!

Build 13 has audio, it just does not have audio playback on-camera.

My bad, I wasn't thinking. I'll stick with 13 for the time being.
