Thanks rafael,
appreciate the definitive response.
I thought I resd somewhere that fcp on SL would disregard a custom gamma setting and so therefore always still over correct off the native system gamma??

Do you know if motion studio 2 works the same way in regards to gamma shifting.?

Its alway driven me nuts watching my “mice work” look like crap on a p.c or the web, I think Im going to look at fcp7 or switch to premiere in the near future

Thanks

Hi, sorry just to clarify the scope ranges from 0.1 to 1.2v but nothing goes below 0.3 and hits a wall at 1.07.
I understand not wanting to go beyond 1 but why does it automatically clamp it, and 0.3 i just dont understand, have alays worked with 0-100 in fcp.

Doesnt matter what footage im using, excam, gopro…..
Im just importing it mormally or dragging and dropping throught the browser.

What perplexes me the most is the drastic difference in the waveform monitor compared to my waveform on my broadcast monitor(panasonic BTLH1850).
The pana will read specs way beyond safe with whites way over and blacks way under while pp reads whites sitting nicely at 1.0 and blacks up around 0.35.

The difference in the monitors could all be down to the fact that I am feeding the pana via the imacs mini dvi to dvi port.. I realise its not the ideal setup for now but didnt expect such a massive difference.

As for the 0.3 to 1.07 im lost…

Thanks

Just gone back to premiere fro fcp and trying to get my head around thier scopes.
How can I grade if these scopes are wrong? If everything is wrongly clamped T .3?

Thanks

Thanks, yeh I thought that might be the case.
Im aware that this setup might not give accurate colours are you saying this is likely the reason for the big discrepency between the waveforms also.
Until I can afford to get a better setup, which monitor should I trust/use? My work is largly non BC.

Thanks

I dont have this option, from reading about it…perhaps its beacause im running PAL and on a mac.

Thanks shane,
O.k so conform/flag as 25 with C.tools and pop in a a 25fps timeline which will automatically make everything slow. Then just speed up the bits i want at normal speed to 200%_

Will there be any visual quality loss with the normal speed stuff? And also when speeding up to say 400% which theoretically should be like speeding up a normal clip to 200%
Sounds like a difficult ways to edit being that you have to watch everything slowmo?

Thanks

Thanks guys, your footage Looked smooth steve.
I bought a manfrotto suction cup in the end and attatched my 7d.
Used a shutter speed of about 125, IS off, and sandwitched the camera up with heaps of padding against the car. This worked sweet as.
Found that the IS just makes the rolling shutter freak out big time.
Was originally thinking about using my little canon hd hanycam for this due to its size and weight but after doing some tests the rolling shutter effect was atrocious.
All and all really happy with the dslrs performance.

O.k maybe i didnt rxplain myself properly i didnt mean down convert to 25 i meant put through cinema tools to flag the metadata to tell it to play back at 25fps, my understanding is this use all 50 frames to slow down rather than fcp recreating new frames to make it slow

But yes i will do tests

Thanks

Ok thanks guys, so it seems that for general boxing a bit of motion blur is needed so prob go with standard 720p25 with a 1/50 shutter( or 1080 and shrink) ,for slo mo 720 50 or 60p with a 100 or 120 shutter and if i ant to achieve super crisp slow mo with sweat on the face etc i could pump it up there towards 1 thousand if i use twixtor.

Just to be absolutley clear if i shoot 60p which involves switching to ntsc mode i want face any problems when converting to 25p? dont think ill need sound sync for this scene.

Also should i just use the overcrank feature on the ex3? It appears this yields better results?

Thanks again

Peter
