Terrible 60p slow motion from A6000 at DVinfo.net

Phil Parkinson · October 28th, 2016, 07:23 AM

Hi Guys,

I just shot a workout entirely at 60p and then slowed it down to a 24p timeline. The footage is hideous. Incredibly choppy.

I shot it on an A6000 XAVCS - Shutter speed was double frame rate.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening. When I shoot 60p on a Canon or the FS5 and slow it down, you get slow mo. On the A6000 you get a seizure.

Any ideas?

There is your problem (60p and then slowed it down to a 24p timeline). The numbers don't divide equally so choppy playback will happen.

Get online and find out how to convert 60p in a 24p timeline for your NLE, there is a wealth of advice out there.

Cheers

But he doesn't get this problem with his fs5 so something else must be going on.

More info required then. I would setup all his cameras to the same setting shoot the same thing and then bring these into his NLE and see where the issue is.

Just want to add, maybe the bitrate at 60p on the A6000 compared to the other cameras looks poor, the FS5 has a higher bitrate etc... and will look better.

I was thinking may be the bit rate was so high your preview window in your NLE is playing it back choppy but really once rendered it isn't ?

Have you rendered the footage to double check ?

I used to have a A6000 and it worked flawlessly. Now I have the A6300 which is equally as good.
