Paul Kellett · February 26th, 2008, 04:43 AM

Phil thanks.
Whenever i shoot in 25p,(1080 or 720) shutter off the picture doesn't look smooth when i pan,not like yours. Any advice ? I use vegas pro 8.
Thank,Paul.

Maybe you should not shoot shutter off, but shutter 1/50 (if 25p) or 1/60 (if 30p).

Phill, do you really like the look of a 1/2xx shutter speed ? It's getting borring to have all action movies having this "so clear and stobbing" look.

Whatever, I will shoot a fight next week and have a try with a high shutter speed, but I don't like it... maybe a 1/100 would be a good compromise...

Do as Sebastien says!

And yes, I wouldn't shoot it like that if I didn't like.

Sebastien Thomas · February 26th, 2008, 07:27 AM

many thanks for the precision Phil.

Paul Kellett · February 26th, 2008, 07:55 AM

I just tried 1080/25p with every shutter speed,none of them look as smooth as 1080i or 720/50p.
That's just the raw files played back in clip browser and mxf files played in VLC player.

Phil Bloom · February 26th, 2008, 08:28 AM

I don't have problems with it. But yes it will never be as smooth compared to interlace or 50p

Paul Kellett · February 26th, 2008, 08:54 AM

Thanks Phil.
Was begining to think something maybe wrong with my cam.

Phil Bloom · February 26th, 2008, 08:55 AM

it's the downside of 25p/24p etc...Next time you go to the flicks watch a pan and see how crap it looks!

Paul Kellett · February 26th, 2008, 09:20 AM

I've already noticed the pans at the cinema,wish i never looked cos now i can't stop looking !
It's like the EX1 720/50p is toooo smooth !

Paul.

Well what do you think? (That'll be a "Yes please" then!)

Stunning. Almost makes RED seem, well, unnecessary!
