    awesome!!
    very very beautiful!!
    Why is there a sound in an overcrank?
  •  
  • Will Stroud plus 1 year ago
    Hey Yu, I used 720p/60p mode on the HVX-200 and then brought the clips into Cinema Tools and conformed them to 60 frames to where I could have sound with the slomo.

    Thanks,
    Will

    Hi Will, great video. Don't understand about sound. Did you record sound at 720p/60 and then "bring it back" using Cinema Tools? Can you please tell me the steps on how you did this in Cinema Tools. Please email if possible at hart.jj@gmail.com

    Why can we see the fisheye on the left, and not on the right of the video ? Is it because of vimeo's uploading ?
  • Will Stroud plus 6 months ago
    It's because of the fisheye lens I used to film this. For some reason fisheye lens on the HVX200 leave a small vinyette on the left corners but not the right for some reason. I could have scaled in a tad to fix this but it doesn't bother me that much. These vinyettes are cropped out on most all TVs but with video on the web you see the full frame.
