  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Super High speed.

Hi all, I shot a job last week where we were up to 120 fps - I just got a curiousity call from the director saying that somehow they seem to have a duplicate shot of another one in the rushes but it is apprently running at 120X2fps - ie: it is at 240 fps (by his account it is pretty "clean" slow mo - ie: not staccato) - On inspecting the file properties it seems have the same amount of frames as the normal one - etc just playback is half speed. (he is, I get the impression, not at all unhappy about this but merely curious) - anyone else had the same result?

Thanks a million

2k 120 fps Build 15 - the director says that the shots are all at 120fps but one of them seems to have come through to the edit (as a duplicate) TWICE as slow. I have not seen this myself but am similarly curious.
 
I'd imagine an importing or conversion mistake somewhere along the way. That or something wonderful that snuck out of the lab. :holloween:

Yeah, and my guitar amp goes to eleven.
 
He says they're using it to cut between the versions for a time ramp effect (I asked was it "step printed" but he seemed to think it was pretty smooth from what I can gather. (the only thing I could think was either stretch printing (exported at the wrong speed) or, somehow (impossibly) duplicated fields (!) - I thoroughly realise that this is impossible and/or meaningless but I'm at a bit of a loss to explain it. I'm popping in to see it thursday.
 
Could be software that does frame interpolation (aka flow motion). Motion can do it, After Effects, Shake…

Can look quite impressive, depending on image content.

We once used it to make Red footage interlace to intercut with 1080i50 – nobody complained…
 
yeah - but the director tells me this is how it came in - it could be as simple as good ole' fashioned stretch printing (in a video sense) - that would be the simplest answer but I can't figure out what settings one would have had in redcine in order to achive such a result on a single shot. (unless someone tweaked the frame rate for that lone item)

Like Dziga Vertov? :)
 
I think that is the 12FPS playback limitation of _F proxies playing back B16 footage through quicktime.

No = as I said, I just got a call from the director and editor who were wondering why this would be - the editor was the man who sent it out of redcine. I just got a call asking how it happened - they are actually very happy with this but curious why it would happen. No solid confirm on speeds etc but I will confirm by thursday.
 
Step printing ie duplicating frames has a very different feel when shot at 120 fps...motion vectors can easily get 120 to get to 240 without any of the normal artifacting, unless you're shooting a hummingbird.
 
Build Smuild.

Build Smuild.
Over two thousands cameras are out there and we are asking what build and every number has a "beta" to its side.
We should have been over it long time
