Here are some of our HVX200 clips shot on P2!
Finally got around to getting some of our HVX200 clips shot on P2. I have 4 raw clips that my friend Barlow and I shot with Panasonic’s HVX200 at DVexpo last week.* What I have are three 720P 24 and one 1080P 24 raw clips.** We shot these on my 4gig p2 card and then brought them into a powerbook laptop via the PCMCIA slot into Final Cut Pro.
BTW- Import to FCP was so easy that it was awesome. I have no problem with tape, but the P2 worked flawlessly with FCP. Thumbs Up!
The Footage is nothing fancy at all.* It’s convention show floor footage on sticks with pretty bland lighting you get at any show. It’s more like If I were shooting a documentary ( ala Michael Moore- frontline etc ) or run & gun film like BlairWitch etc; that’s what these show conditions would resemble simply non controlled environments that we would face for that type of filmmaking or cinema verite** style. This is real world filming, not studio filmmaking with sets and a lighting to make perfect pretty looking images.
This footage is not like the awesome material that Barry Green,Jarred Land, Evin Grant etc filmed. Nor is it like the awesome footage that Illya Friedman’s production shot that was filmed out and screened at Laser Pacific.
It is however raw P2 clips straight from the camera to FCP. There just 720/24 and 1080/24 mode footage that people can play with and look at… Enjoy!

Michael,
Thanks for making these available to everyone!

1080iP2.mov really seems to 1080i (like the name of the file) and deinterlaced from that.
Eg. movement in hand with paper etc…
Was that really shot 1080p? -

[toke lahti] “1080iP2.mov really seems to 1080i (like the name of the file) and deinterlaced from that.

Was that really shot 1080p?”The footage clearly shows it has a pulldown (2 interlaced frames followed by 3 progressive frames).
As far as I know this clip was shot at 1080P24 recorded onto the P2 cards, then put into a FCP edit sequence from which clips were exported as self contained QT files. The sequence, I imagine, was set to 1080i (as the pulldown added in recorded doesn’t seem to have been removed)The hand movement you mention doesn’t really look all that strange to me, though I suppose it’s possible that it was shot using a shutter below 1/48, which would give you more motion blur than we’re used to seeing.

Thanks for the clips, interesting results some CA and a little noise but very impressive for the money (it is also nice to see footage that has been shot under challenging lighting conditions rather than studio set)
For a quick P2 turnaround Panasonic are very slow in coming up with approved demo footage !

Yep, I noticed that after a little scrubbing with qt player.
I tried to use fcp’s cinema tools to remove pulldown, but I couldn’t find the right settings.
(CT is a new tool for me…)
What would the right settings be?
(I tried few combinations, but always some frames were construced out of two frames…)
Shouldn’t cinema tools find the right settings automatically like it should from dvx’s footage? -
thanks for the clips!
I have a question – On QT7 / windows XP nothing plays, I need the codec but I can -
I am unable to form a positive or negative opinion on the new camera based on this footage. Middle aged white guys under mercury vapor lights is an odd choice of subject and setting. The pool clip seems to have some motion issues, the gymnast is an homage to high rez crispness, well worth seeing. Some of its nice some of its junk.
When Panasonic unveiled the 100 camera they showed some wedding prep footage from New Jersey that was embarrassing, am I missing something here.
I am sold on the specs I want to be sold on the camera.
