[Dave LaRonde] “Don’t use the newest version. Revert to the previous vervion. You can get it.”
Sorry, I missed where Ali specified he was on Premiere CC 2015.3.

[Per Olsson] “I have a clip I recorded some years ago with some low light setting in my camera which caused the clip to be jerky in playback. “
Per, unfortunately it looks like the low light setting you used was to drop the shutter speed lower than the frame rate. This means that most of the frames in your video are simply duplicates of each other. Because of this, there is not much you could do except to try to make it look more like slow motion? Perhaps Twixtor could help. Otherwise a morph effect could give you more motion, but would probably make the footage look “fake”.

[Victor Richardson] “here is also a serious problem with export/render artifacts in (at least) Adobe Premier Pro. We find lots of glitches and horizontal color lines extending across the frame. And of course, you don’t realize that until AFTER an hour or two export. Then, have to start over again”
This is what I find intolerable. This past Monday I had three renders that took 3-4 hours each. Finding out that there were problems with the renders after the fact due to issues like this would have really not set well with me.

Thanks for the big laugh, Don.

That astounding. And not in the positive sense of that word. :-/

[Eric Strand] “the idea of a big, heavy, long, “proper” video camera scares me. I was considering a compact DSLR”
“Considering a compact” and “no less than 50p” are very different strengths, Eric. Plus, I did acknowledge the DSLR 1DX Mark II, which is not compact either. Because of the heat generated by processing 4Kp60, the body size has physical limitations due to physics at this point. And, to some people, the FS7 isn’t that large, and it’s definitely no where near as heavy as an Epic Dragon or F55.
You are still looking rather poor in trying to compare. Remember, you gave a suggestion that does not shoot what he wants. At all. ZERO. And, sure, I had to branch out on other requirements, absolutely, because his post gave an indication that, everything else being equal, HFR 4K was not an option to compromise on. So you can continue down this path, but it makes you look incredibly petty.

[Eric Strand] “I didn’t realize that you knew how flexible his budget was. “
I don’t think you understand the difference between the flexibility of budget vs the inflexibility of specs.
-
[Eric Strand] “You claim my suggestion isn’t legitimate, yet suggest two cameras that are above his budget and larger than he wants.”
Because those are his only and ever options at this point. He needs to know where the tech stands with his requirements. He said no less than 50p in 4K and those are his ONLY options with the criteria he said he could not bend on. Price is way more flexible than needed specs. Size to a somewhat different extent. But you will NEVER shoot 4Kp60 on an A7S.
I realize you are doing your best to save face, but this is simply not a good tactic on your part.

[Matteo Proromo] “About the “Of course, he doesn’t understand the difference”: show me 10 videos in high quality at 50 and 60 fps but in a mixed order, and I’ll be able to tell you which is which just by looking at it. ;)”
A) No you can’t.
B) That’s not what I meant. You don’t understand there is little difference in processing power between 60 and 50, so that you’re not going to find a camera that can do 50p in 4K and not 60p. You’re going to get 60p in 4K and 50p will be a feature for PAL territories.

[Eric Strand] “There is no camera in his budget that meets his requirements, which means he is going to have to compromise one of the features he wants.”
He already stated how much he was willing to compromise in his original post.
[Matteo Proromo] “If I need to make sacrifices to stay in my budget, 4K is a must, while I could be happy with 50fps (but nothing less).”
Of course, he doesn’t understand that there is no difference between 4K at 50p and 60p, so there is no going less other than straight down to 30p. I take him at his word that he wants “nothing less” than 50p. I gave him the options and it’s up to him to come back and state where he could potentially compromise further.
[Eric Strand] “The point of these forums, Gary, as I’m sure you know, is to offer options and ideas that others may not have thought of.”
If they are legitimate. You just gleaned over the first post and offered a suggestion that was not entirely legitimate given the information. This happens a lot. There was even another poster who recommended a camera for which he didn’t even own the 4K upgrade, didn’t work in 4K, and so had no idea if the 4K was even of quality or not. This is just clutter.
