Thanks ,Shane.

I’ll try doing that after watching the video. I didn’t have luck doing so the first time, but I might have been doing something wrong. I appreciate your response.

I sold my 7d to buy a 60d. I haven’t regretted the decision. In terms of video quality, they are identical. But the 60d has the swiveling LCD which has been HUGE for me! Also, it has manual audio levels which is a huge plus is you are using any kind of external mic. (which I would recommend.) The 7d is considered a better still camera because it has a much more advanced auto focus system. But keep in mind that the cameras have the exact same sensor in them… so you can get just as good of stills out of the 60d as you can the 7d if you know what you are doing.

Go with the 60d and save some $$$ that you can use on some accessories. (rig, mic, LCD viewfinder, etc…)

I have had this problem before too. This only happened when the footage was rendered. See if that is the problem. If so, just click on the flim stip icon to the left of the track to hide it. Then click it again and your render files should be gone. Hope that helps.

March 23, 2011 at 10:47 pm in reply to: Composited? Over-cranked? Twixtor?

I just got back from a test shoot. The results were mixed. I only had the ability to shoot 60 fps. I tried slowing the footage down with Twixtor and with Optical Flow in Motion, but there is too much movement between frames from the individual falling objects.

I priced out a Phantom, but sadly, it’s a bit out of the budget. After the test, I am really thinking that this could have been shot with a high speed camera shooting around 1000 fps.

Anyone have any ideas how I might pull this off without the rental of a Phantom?

I have one solution…but it is kind of a pain…

Put the video of your complete Angle1 in a timeline on the V1 track. on the V2 track, line up the the pieces of Angle 2 so that is syncs with Angle1. Do the same thing for Angle3 on V3.

Now – hide tracks 1 and 3 and export track 2. This will give you a complete track for Angle2 that will export black when there is no video playing. But when you re import this, you can now set the in point and sync it with Angle1.

Do the same thing for V3/angle 3.

I have done this, and although it is a bit tedious…it works.

I found the problem. If anyone is having this issue. Go and change option 894 in the menu to HD. They don’t make it too easy to find…. 🙂
