... I would've done it with a better understanding and ultimately saved myself many hours of experimentation and research in trying to figure out how to make overcrank work (before returning to my tried and true 16mm in order to get a project done on time).

Did your 16mm camera come with step by step instructions for producing overcranked footage? I realize video post production has some more complexities, but I think it's totally appropriate to describe the 200 series as capable of overcranking - and with freeware no less!

It isn't as simple to preview and implement as the HVX, but should get easier as editing software updates to use this codec natively.

Ok, guilty as charged, I was definitely being hyperbolic -- JVC can of course claim overcrank as a feature because technically it is on the camera.

I guess I'm also guilty of not expressing myself very well because the point I'm trying to get across is not an attack on JVC, I'm expressing frustration. And in so doing, I'm trying to point out to JVC an opportunity for them to remedy a situation and prevent future customers from also becoming frustrated.

But maybe I'm the only one who was confounded by the complexity of achieving the glorious OVERCRANKAGE...I'm hoping that was more hyperbole.

Got this to work very well in preperation for a new project - cheers for the work flow Tim, it's a breeze.

However...couple of questions (and they may to most seem blindingly obvious!):

1: I want to import the SD50p slow motion clips into a HDV 50p timeline: is it just a case of importing the QT files or can I stop short and import the mt2 files?

2: In MPEG Streamclip I uprezzed the 720x576 to 1280x720 (unscaled) yet in the QT inspector the clip states 720x576 ? (It also vertically stretches the image losing the 16:9 ratio...had I missed an anmorphic flag in MPEG streamclip or DVHS...conforming aperture doesn't appear to fix this unfortunately).

Really pleased this has turned out ok (and a relatively quick workflow).
I shot the footage at 1/50th shuttter speed so will try 1/100th for the next test.

Hi tim,

I have just picked up my new 201e, i have had a go at this slow mo settings, i can get it to work ok, but the audio goes into slowmo to, i am a bit liike brian except i want to film in 50p and slow some parts down,you say in step 8 about the audio but it is not working any idea where i am going wrong.
