Hmm- doesn’t look like anything is in focus in that flower shot. Either an operating error or I suppose could be a bad camera if that’s the best you can get out of it.
51 hours is quite a bit if you’re using a lot of different tape stocks and not running the head cleaner. Also can be an issue if you’re in a humid environment.
Sure- I’d be very curious to see if this is even possible. I’d wonder if it could be done within a plugin without major changes to the core Motion architecture.
