Thanks for the reply David, I already went ahead and ordered a GH1 because I found it for a really good price and with the hack for the high data rate it seemed too good to miss out on. Also i’m a cheapskate!

You can get an adapter for canon or nikon lenses you need a few tweaks but this guy in link says he’s selling all his m4/3 lens to go full canon lens setup.

Also because of the change in size you have to double the focal length of each lens when it’s adapted. So in 35mm terms, 28mm becomes a 56mm lens, 45mm becomes a 90mm etc etc.
So not great for wide angle but for other sizes fine.

I’m probably going to get a 14mm Panasonic lens and adapt anything else I need, my mums got a few old nikon lenses kicking about so I’ll have a mess around with them.

You can even get cctv lens adapters.

Thanks for the reply mike I’ve been trying to find a good priced GH2 but can’t seem to find one.
However I seen that you can hack the GH1 too so it looks like I’m going to go for this, thanks for opening my eyes to hacking and thanks for the links too, really helpful stuff.

I think what you’re doing is adding the wiggle to the contents of the converted vector using the add arrow right?
If you go to effects and presets type wiggle (or even wigg) and hold down and drag on to the shape layer the type of wiggle you want from behaviors, then it should wiggle the whole thing not the part individually.
Hope that helps I tried it out just to test and it works.

oh my god I’m such an idiot I realized, hell I even wrote it that the nikon does 1080! Guess I’ll be going for that then, although it is 24fps!

But does frame rate matter too much for vfx?

Say if I create something at 24fps and upload it will youtube or vimeo change the frame rate to 30fps and interpolate frames in the video and will this be a lower quality than if I made it myself in AE at 30fps then uploaded it?

I’m guessing it’s not going to ruin it but I just would like to know the process so I can get the best results or whether it’s worth going to any trouble regarding it
