Thank you, Dano for the update re Transcend…

Any info about overcranking limits with the Transcend 32GB?… Does everything seem reliable so far?

Hello Everyone,
Any more information confirming that 32GB Transcend cards work well?

Thank you.

[Eli Hollander]

Is it really confirmed that the new Sandisk 32GB cards don’t work? I am expecting a shipment of 32GB Sandisk Extreme II from Buy.com; and if they indeed not work, I will refuse delivery and get the Transcend 32GB.

Thanks for all the helpful tips from so many of you.

From what I read into your description (“…at /BPAV/CLPR/JB010036_01/JB010036_01.MP4, JB010036_01M01.XML etc…”) it sound as if your BPAV folder is directly on your desktop, or at root level. Try putting your BPAV folder inside another folder, i.e., desktop/myfolder/BPAV/…. Each BPAV folder has to be inside another folder.

Ron,

Sorry you couldn’t open it (as a matter of habit, I compress files, not so much because of size, but because the resource fork doesn’t always travel well…)

Here is a link to uncompressed motion test:

Richard,

I sent you a file with my test footage, via yousendit.com (they will email you a link at your “iinfo@richardladkani.com” address. I shot the test footage at 48th and at 1000th sec shutter speeds. Tell me if you see the kind of results you got.

I completely agree that 1000th sec shutter speed is not appropriate 99% of the time. But, for this test, a high shutter speed will tell you if the blur is motion blur or codec blur…

Maybe I wasn’t looking at the right place, but at 1000th sec shutter speed I couldn’t see any difference… and I couldn’t see key-frames.

I already deleted these clips, but I’ll shoot another test later today and post it.

I have just taken my EX1 out to the backyard and filmed grass close-up, with different shutter speeds and different panning speeds.

At 1080 24p, at 48th of a second shutter speed, when panning, I did get a blur, which is expected (in fact, you want that blur to give the motion smoothness instead of a strobing quality), and at that shutter speed I didn’t see any individual frames that were sharper than others (i.e., key frames).

At 1000th or 2000th of a second shutter speed, each frame was equally sharp and not blurred — I couldn’t replicate what you are describing. Each individual frame was sharp and there were no frames that looked sharper than other frames (key frames).

Admittedly I was looking at the images on my Mac screen, full frame (not projected using an HD projector). But, given what you describe, I would think that if the image were to be out of focus it would be noticeable on the Mac full screen.

It would be interesting if others were to try this experiment as well.

You can use the time-of-day timecode setting, and set the two cameras to the same time, of course. While you cannot absolutely synchronize the time on the two cameras, if you are careful you can synchronize the time within a second or so. That will give a very easy way of finding the corresponding portion on the other take–just match the timecode. With the waveform visible on the soundtracks of the two takes, you can very easily then synchronize the two cameras precisely, even with start/stops on the two cameras at different places.
