SGpro r3 footage
Hi guys,
I shot some footage over the weekend with the SGpro r3 and my FX1. I hardly ever get a chance to shoot anything so made a nice break from assembling adapters :) Below are some grabs, no CC: http://www.sgpro.co.uk/Sequence%2001.jpg http://www.sgpro.co.uk/Sequence%2002.jpg http://www.sgpro.co.uk/Sequence%2003.jpg http://www.sgpro.co.uk/Sequence%2004.jpg http://www.sgpro.co.uk/Sequence%2005.jpg My problem is I want to upload a video, but I cant find any good output/render settings. I am using Premiere pro 2 and captured using premieres standard capture (not cineform). Im not sure to if I should output to quicktime h.264 or a wmv file. I try but it comes out really soft, and I want to show how sharp this footage has come out. Would anyone be kind enough to share some output settings so I can show the footage? I also have tests shot with 1/600th shutter that I would like to show... ---------------- EDIT: I have uploaded a small version of some of the shots: 640x360 wmv, 96MB: http://www.sgpro.co.uk/SGpror3_FX1.wmv If people would like to see full res parts of this (say about 8 second clips), let me know which part. I still need to upload the 1/600th shutter test.... -------------------------

What F-stop was each still taken with? ND? Cam aperture?
Will you be uploading full resolution pics and footage? Quote:

Hi,
The 50mm lens was mostly @ F4, the FX1 aperture around F3.5 with ND filter on. The 85mm lens again @ F4, but the 20mm lens was wide open @ F2.8 Here are 2 full res clips: http://www.sgpro.co.uk/Sequence%2004.wmv http://www.sgpro.co.uk/Sequence%2003.wmv Im just uploading some more stuff....

In both clips, there's a weird black outline on objects when they're in focus (wheat, left side of the man's jaw, right sleeve of t-shirt, etc.) they're in the frame grabs as well... what's causing that? The camera? |

Maybe it's just me but I'm seeing a lot of grain in the out of focus highlights, they also seem a bit grey and murky as they make the transition form out of focus to focus.
Maybe it's the compression. Or maybe it's that I've been staring at a screen at the editors all day. |

Stephen,
The grain (actually video noise) is in the uncompressed footage, coming from my FX1. The murkyness is the wmv compression. If you like, I can upload a low compressed quicktime of a short clip. But, it would be nice if you could pop around again to test yourself, been about 2 years?

Gotcha!
The sharpness setting on the FX1 is set to 12, maybe its too high.

Sounds like the culprit for the black edge and the bokeh grain.

Yeah, default is 8 (middle), i set it to 12, months ago, when i first got the FX1.
Maybe beyond the cams ability, huh?

I've never been impressed with Sony's affordable line.

And I've always been impressed with the SGpro. Really fantastic work Wayne. I'd be an owner long ago if I didn't have a vendetta against The Box design (shudder). Keep the sharpness at or below the 8 setting, and you should be fine.
