Hi, Mark,
Many thanks for all this information and your great help! I really appreciate it! I will take note of everything and try to do my best, I do have a Gopro, so I’ll see where Im able to attach it to.
Again, many thanks for the thorough response!
Cheers!

Hi, Chris,
Many thanks for the input.
With the Canon XF 300 (3 x 1/3 sensors) I can control the shutter speed. The Blackmagic (super 35 sensor) doesn’t have shutter speed controls. So its either one of 3840 x 2160p: 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30; 1920 x 1080p: 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30; 1920 x 1080i: 50, 59.94.
I don’t have a gyro mount. I can shoot hand held or have a steady cam vest and arm and stabilizer, not sure if this would be appropriate for helicopter use.
Many thanks!
Alex

Hi, Bill,
Many thanks again for your help.
I have two cameras I could use, still haven’t made up my mind which I will use for this footage. I have a Canon XF300, which has three 1/3 sensors, or I could use a Black Magic 4K production camera, which has a super 35 image sensor. I’d shoot at 1080p in either.
Its a commercial-informative video for the internet, big screen conference room style presentations, and big screen larger auditorium presentations. They haven’t mentioned wanting to pull stills, but its a good point. And you’re absolutely right, after the facts requirements seem like a high probability.
I was told this morning we would be using a Bell D06 Helicopter.
Many thanks for your help,
Alex

Hi, Bill,
Many thanks for the info! I have an appointment with them today, so I’ll find out what type of helicopter is it and let you know. I will be shooting urbanscape, downtown and old district buildings. So we will be flying over the city.
DO you know if I should shoot with a minimum shutter speed? What shutter speed you used? I read somewhere that I shouldn’t shoot below 1/1250, what is your input on this?
Many thanks, again!

Many thanks, Robert. I will look into it.
Is there any functional difference that I should be aware of by starting in Resolve, and exporting XML into Premiere, and so. Or viceversa, starting in Premiere and round trip to Resolve and back?
I have two tracks from 2 cameras of a person sitting during an interview, so I basically need only to grade those to tracks, so Im thinking it might be better to start in Resolve, export to Premiere, and from Premiere to AE, and done. Im guessing it might be better to start in Premiere if I had many clips with different grades and secondary adjustments, and It would be better to edit first than round trip, right? Or am I missing something else?
Many thanks

ok. Got it. Many thanks, Chris. I’ll do as you suggest.
Yes, Go pro is HD too. Im having trouble stabilizng that as It was shot from a quadcopter, so theres a bit of jello effect on it.
Theres also some shots produced with the Kessler Cineslider that have some vibration from a very close by moving train, and when applying warp stab it crops the image a bit and the background seems to float as on a wave. Is there a way of removing that secondary effect or reducing it without eliminating warp stab?
I will change my preview codec.
Many thanks again!

Hi,
Im working mostly with footage from a Canon’s XF300 MFX files, XF Codec. 720 24p, 30p and 60p or sometimes 1080 @ 24p, 30p, 60i.
A few clips from Canon 5D mII and Hero 3 Black E.
Current sequence settings are: 1080, MPEG i-Frame, 30fps drop frame, Timebase 29.97. And im delivering 2 versions, SD and HD.
Many thanks!

Hi, Petter,
Many thanks for your input. Yes, it sounds like we come across the same quick sands.
I solved most of my trouble with compound clips, and rendering complex generators in Motion, just like you mention.
I had another error though, in FCPX, on export, that read something like “frame error -1 on frame number 315” and aborted export.
Then another in Motion that read “media server quit unexpectedly” and aborted publishing. I removed Motion, preferences, and reinstall, but it still happened randomly.
Many thanks, again,
best,
alex

Yes, theres quite a few Motion 5 Generators. Some of them with 3d shadows, no motion blur though. I didnt knew that, that they will add so much rendering and exporting time.
Ok. So you mean, adding the images in the Motion project drop zones, and exporting it as a movie, so instead of having the generator in FCPX, I will have the .mov clip?
Ive been doing some tests, and I think youre right about the generators. The export takes about 10 minutes to export 44% (at the beggining of the clip I have a 3d shadows generator), but the it really slows down, and the next 20 percent takes about an hour and a half. In the middle of the clip I have a generator with drop zones, and a motion 5 overlay I made stacked up on top of it.
When I remove the generators it is much faster. Not lightning fast as your numbers, but faster.
Ok. I will do that test and let you know about the results later today.
I dont know if this has anything to do with it, but my footage is AVCDH from a Sony Camera, imported and transcoded to ProRes422 (which took ages to transcode).
Ive noticed that when I export the clip, on the background render window, it says “processing, transcoding”. I dont know why it should be transcoding if it already took more than half a day to transcode my imported clips.
One last thing ive noticed, and cant get rid of it. I add an opener generator to the beggining of my timeline, it has 5 footage drop zones and a logo drop zone and 3d shadows. It renders, I preview it, and it looks good. No problem. Then I add next to it a 20 seconds footage clip, and a cross dissolve transition. It renders, i preview it, and now the footage on the drop zone do this weird flash, kind of like a stutter, and the logo shifts its position for a half a second, making it look weird. I though this had to do with the computer not being able to preview it as it should, but I exported, and those behaviors exported as well to the output .mov clip. I changed the transition, and the same happens. I remove transition and clip, and all well again.
Another situation just arose yesterday, its that sometimes, when I publish a generator in Motion 5, it takes a few minutes then an error message shows up: “Media Server Application Unexpectedly Quit”. But it does publish the generator.
As I mentioned the computer is brand new, and this is the first project I work with it. I removed and reinstalled Motion, trashed preferences, but it still happening.
Many thanks for your time and help, Payton! I really appreciate it.
