How will undercrank/overcrank work?

[Michael Morlan]

What would you like to be able to do?

Stuart, I would like to be able to setup multiple speed ramps with;

o destination frame rate
o ramp duration
o ramp curve (linear, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in/out)

I would assign the ramp to a button and the operator/a.c. (if not me) would execute each in sequence with subsequent taps of the button.

The way I picture it working, is identical to a follow focus, but obviously with frame-rate being adjusted not focus. Automagic features are nice (set it and forget it) but simplicity is sometimes the key.

You have to press a button and then rotate the camera around the lens axis an exact number of times in 4 seconds in a movement akin to a "barrel roll". Want 25FPS? Turn it 25 times. It seems irritating at first, but once you get good at flipping the camera into the air and doing it, it becomes pretty second-nature. The hardest one is 23.976 - that took me a few tries.

Again, this is 4-5 month old experience. Who knows how it's changed in the mean time.

For those curious, here's how it worked at NAB:

Press a button on the back to pull up the menu. The menu existed on the bottom of the screen and was generally made up of 5 options.

Select an option I can't remeber to get into speed/format info. Click over to frame rate with the joystick and turn the joystick knob to adjust to the desired setting. We're talking 10 seconds.

Thus is a very foggy old memory of a very early prototype. It'd be safer to call it a guess of the functionality instead of a description. Don't hold me to it if I'm wrong.

can the knob be used to adjust the framerate while recording?

Ok, I'm here trying to figure out why I'm denied the privilege to post new threads, but here's my perhaps stupid question(and suggestion too):
On my akai MPC4000 sampler I have ability to take an audio sample and resample it from 16 bit to 24 bit if I wish, so I was thinking if it would be possible with a digital image to take, let's say a 100fps piece of footage and "resample" it to 120fps(260fps,300fps, etc.) via software, since the camera itself can't do it. Would it be possible to come up with a way in which the software could reprocess footage at a more frames per second for even better overcranking? Doe anyone see where I'm going with this? I'd appreciate someone knowledgeable would answer and enlighten me.
