Hello David,

I am using a Transcend class 10 card with the Nikon D7100, the footage looks the same on the camera, but the pictures are just fantastic, I had used many recommended video settings at different frame rates, ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture settings, only 60i looks better but there is some jittering left.

Good morning Rob,

Yes, my Mac Pro is a 2008 model, but still hold plenty of power I had playback also 4k smooth, I had purchased the Nikon D7100 from E-bay 2 months a go, is a brand new unit, can you please post the settings that you use on your other Nikon cameras to shoot video in manual mode?, including additional settings that will help to improve video quality.

Thanks for your time and help,

Javier.

Hey Steve,

I am using a transcend class 10 card, also, I had transcoded the DSLR H264 video to ProRes HD 422 and DNxHD, with the ProRes the playback greatly improved but with some detail loss and some jittery present on the video, with the DNxHD codec in Media Composer plays back just fine but with bit of jittery. At this point I think the settings the I use with the camera, the lens or camera itself has an issue, is a brand new lens and camera.
THe settings that I use are: ISO 100 to 200 the most, Aperture based on the frame rate i.e. 24p 1/50 because on the Nikon I can’t set it to 1/48, 30p 1/60 and so on.

Thanks.

Hello Steve,

First I greatly appreciate your time, I did use the Avid DNxHD codec, I use a MacPro 8 core 3.0 with 20GB of ram to edit with Media Composer, the video on the camera and the computer looks the same, I have not tried lowering the nitrate and the ProRes codec, I am new to DSLR shooting, I had used the recommended camera settings but I will tray other codecs with lower nitrates to see if there is a playback improvement.

Thanks.

Hello Dave,

As an example, suggestions about other VFX tutorials, footage and methods will be very helpful, the layer blending techniques to visually give the impression of the blood and wounds elements are realistically part of the original footage, those are the suggestions that I need.

Thanks in advance to all the people posting information.

Regards,

Javier.

Hello Michael,

I did a clean install “Formatting the HD first”, so far I had no issues.

Thanks,

Javier.

I wanted to avoid “Re-installing”, but I had found the issue, T-racks plugins was the problem, uninstalled the plugin, I had to run “Preference Manager” and “OnyX”, running smoothly again without “Re-installing” FCP and all the plugins.

Thanks.
