No, you need to re-encode it in h.264 .mp4.

how bout other downloads in .mov ?... will my ps3 play that or do i have to re encode too ?

The PS3 does not support .mov. You need .mp4 with h.264/AAC in it, or WMV or DivX/XViD with the new firmware.

Me too. I bought the HV20 because of this clip. I saw it on youtube and was dying to see it in HD. I'm so glad it's up here.

i guess we should start a group for people who bought the hv20 because of this clip... i am now one..ha mine just came in the mail..

me 3

me 4. Got mine off ebay for $500.00! It's on it's way now.

I had some questions about the 35mm adapter if anyone can help me:

What and where can I get the best ones (brand names, etc.)?

This may be a very stupid question, but the 35mm adapter is just an adapter to connect a multitude of lenses correct? As you can tell, I have not studied camera lenses that much and am just getting into filming.

Thank you to whoever helps!

me 5. Really convincing. Now I just need my twoneils!

i bought the hv20 because of this clip as well. (not solely based on this clip, obviously)

Me 7. This was the clip that first got me interested in this camera, got the hv30 tho, but its allmost the same xD

due to this clip (and a few others) i will be buying this camera! the 30 though. but still. UN FREAKIN BELIEVABLE VIDEO! i loved it. name of the song?

you didn't use any steady??

just my $20 tripod

wow, how is that possible? is the optical stabilizator the best in the world, or do you have 20 years of experience in hanging cameras?

Taped some clear sandwhich bags together, put em over the camera. Made a mattebox out of tin-foil.

Nice!

He replied on this. Just his tripod. Keeping the tripod steady, condensed, is the cheap way to get steadier shots than handheld.

Ooops! My mistake, didn't read that sorry. Thanks for that, I think I'll ditch my 'GlideCam' for the hand-held tripod method... the GlideCam wobbles like crazy, it's like your sailing on a cruise ship in really stormy weather.

Same with the Steadicam Merlin. Although it's easier to control and balance, you will still see the slightest 'bump' and 'swing' of the camera. I have to practice more.

I've seen your Merlin test footage, it looks a lot better than the GlideCam. This thing works rather well when I'm moving about fast all over the place, but when I stand still it either continues with this constant rocking motion (left-right-left-right) as if it were placed on a rocking-chair. Or it spins completely upside-down and revolves back to it's original position (very steadily) as if I were an astronaut. They should provide some sort of button or trigger which locks the mechanism, so when you are still you could lock it then when you're on the run again, you just release the button on the fly. Problem solved... I've made a custom adjustment and it works brilliantly now, it's what I'll be using from now on. I've also attached a leg-like part at the bottom, so when you lock it, it also works as a MonoPod.

If after this you still don't get good quality, it's because you didn't shoot right.

Thank You!!! You saved me another day of yelling at my computer screen!!!

He exported at 720-24p WMV, using Sony Vegas. The original file is available for download to check the bitrate.

Yes, read here for the how-to: eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/10/07/reproducing-solomons-grading/

I doubt that Sony would send him a cheque for a camera that Canon developed lol.

lol!

PF24 is not the same as true 60i. PF24 is 18 progressive frames & 12 interlaced all wrapped in a 60i stream and requires pulldown removal to make that PF24 format true 24p. True 60i is 60 frames and 60 fields in a 60i stream.

So he shot in PF24 the normal scenes, removed pulldown and edited. He shot the slow-mo scenes in true 60i, he didn't remove pulldown (not required), he added it to the 24p project, and slo-mo'ed it. Clear now? :)

always there to save the day :-)

Please read my comment above. It's explained there.

thanks eugenia. I did read your post. I was hoping on getting a bit more detail because I tried what you explained in AE and FCP and got jittering in the slo mo footage whereas Solomon's doesn't at all (might be because he's using Vegas and that programs just that damn good, but that's hard to believe).
I was hoping he might be able to shed some light on this issue himself.

cheers

Not sure we can give more details for AE/FCP, as we both use Vegas. On Vegas it's simple to do, and you might only need to "disable resample".

hey, eugenia. figured it out. thanks!

here's my slo mo test using this workflow - vimeo.com/820123
