Mixing cameras & video formats in MC

[Fred Jean]

Carlos,
These are a lot of questions and we could fill a book.

I think, on the GH2, that you’re not in the right forum because you’ll have much more answers reposting your questions into the DSLR video forum of this site where there are many gh2 users.

I answer quickly to a few of them here before leaving the thread.

– The GH2 does not do Raw video. It is a still camera with video capabilities, like the Canon or any other dslr. The camera shoots stills in Raw but not in video.

– In AVCHD, the minutes recorded straight can be hours on a 32GB card, depending on your bitrate.
The camera as a counter so you see what’s left available.
In motion jpeg just a few minutes straight.

– You can not change the bitrate within the menu. You establish the maximum birate once for awhile according to the hack flavour you install.

– The Epic is not a “garbage camera” but a profesional camera that shoots raw in 5K and got an impressive dynamique range: https://www.red.com/products/epic

– If you want a shallow D.O.F, the GH2 is capable of that and easier on set than the Canon 5D2 as its sensor is smaller. (the Canon is less forgiving)

– You can read this from Avid to see the different DNxHD flavours and how you can make your choices according to your needs and the sapce available on your drives: https://www.avid.com/static/resources/US/documents/dnxhd.pdf

I recommend that if you want to have a lot of informations on the GH2 from different users, your best bet is to create a thread in the DSLR forum.

Hope I could have been a Little helpful.

Best luck.

Fred.

Thanks, Fred.

I also felt this was betting too specific and not Avid related. And was already thinking of going to the DVX GH2 forum. If there’s one at Cow’s it’s even better.

Pity motion Jpeg is not a real option, as a few minutes doesn’t serve me.

Thanks again.
