I have one. Maxes out the drives in term of speed. I have two Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB (because of supper dense platters those drives are arguably the fastest 7.2k hods) I get up to 230MB on AJA speed tests. 210-220MB/s are regular results depending on files types and sizes.

How did you record the media? If recorded externally, let’s say on a recorder through SDI or HDMI trouble shoot there, try testing media recorded straight on the camera. If recoded internally try a feed like SDI or HDMI. Usually those signals are straight from the chip and bypass any signal prossesing. You may be able to see a beautiful image on an external monitor and being recoding something different. I once was using a recorder through component and had a channel switched but the monitor compensated somehow and recorded something different than what was on the monitor.
Have you used the camera ever since? did it work fine or does the problem remain?
The more info the more likely you are to figure out what went wrong and maybe, just maybe recover the footage… well the color to the footage =)

Im no expert here But I think color balance works by doing exactly that, balancing the signals from the different channels depending on the color space you are working (RGB 8bit or 10 bit 422?).
Have you looked at the image through scopes in FCP? Is there info in the Red channel? The JPG has info but it may very well be because you exported it to a different color space it might have made that info up? I don’t know… but I would guess that if the RED CCD is busted and info is not there, there’s no way to fix it because you just don’t have the info to balance.
It might make good black and white footage though. It does have all the luminance info…
Look at the image though scopes and see if you can discover something. Those are my 2cents

Second that, I wish it shot at 160fps it would make quite a nice slow motion. Now, the fast shutter speed will give you the stacatto look but as far as I know it would not cause any problems with playback. Have you edited with that laptop/hdd/codec set up before with good results?

Interested in thoughts of this as well. Thanks!

Hi Thomas,
If cancel is blinking use the cursor to navigate to execute and then you are set. The blinking means you enabled the field in the menu, now navigate to the option you want which is the only other one, execute.
Hope that helps.

I second Kate. This definitely is something twixtor would be able to do. A few things to consider are to shoot at the highest fps possible (most likely 60p) and for the shots you are going to slow down, you may want to speed up the shutter to something pretty high. You do want to motion blur for most of your footage for that film look, but if you plan on slowing it down drastically and work with something like twixtor a staccato look would work better since each frame is much sharper and crisp.

Thanks for posting this, fixed my hot pixel in less than a minute!!!

I would agree 100% with David. Your best bet would be to do the effect but entirely on the green screen. You can even have the “basement background” keyed in during the transition and than cut to another shot with the actual “basement background” without keying. Although to get the best results you would need to use programs like the ones David mentioned, (nuke, combustion etc) you may get something somewhat similar in AE, there are some great tutorials out there where you can get ideas to composite a similar effect.
You may want to go over the tutorials here in the cow and at VCP to get ideas.
Hope that helps.

Yes, I totally understand that and agree, the thing is that we are working with a very small budget, and like I said, long events wont be the main use, just a few a year. Just cant afford a EX3 and 7D at the same time.
