Please suggest any videos for me to add

anyone?...

well you can throw this one up. It's pretty average compared to yours but it is the LEX

Here is one I just uploaded.

Shot with the Letus Extreme and Sony V1U in the dead of winter in Upstate New York.

Many thanks,

Nice job James! Love the last dolly shot. Also reminds me of JAWS, when the sheriff sees the shark on the beach for the first time.

My encode looks pretty bad compared to this. I'm going to try and re-submit at 1280x720. Any secrets to getting things to look good on Vimeo? Do they do another compression pass like youtube?

Paul,

Don't think I have many tricks when it comes to encoding video for Vimeo. My usual workflow is to render out the video first to a cineform avi (1280X720) and then render out this cineform intermediate file to a Mainconcept AVC file with the .h264 preset in Vegas. I up the bitrates from their default settings to something like 10 000 000 max, 5 000 000 average.

I know that Vimeo does make a flash recompression for the low res version of any clips but I don't know about the high def if it is compressed again. I suspect it is not but I couldn't say for sure.

All the best,
James

hi Phil

Here´s mine first footage from letus extreme and v1. Sorry no sound

Thanks James, I just did a re-encode and it looks much better now! It's great that they let you swap out the video without losing all the comments etc.

You can add my video if you like it :)

Thank you.

pedro

your video look great!

in what format you upload it to vimeo?

i try to upload my video and can't get good compression?

hi Ram

It was edited in avid, so i folow their Avid instructions for uploading hd video in Vimeo. Which Nle system do you use?

premiere pro 2

but what codec?

ram

i edited hdv footage then i exported quicktime 720p, h.264, 5000 kbits/sec and i don´t deinterlace it because i already use timewarp fx, in avid, to make it progressive

cheers

pedro

thanks

why you are not use in camera progressive?

hi ram

the camera, v1, doesn´t do "real" progressive, it simulates progressive in a interlaced stream. i use that simulation, but when i capture it´s interlaced...

Thx!

This is a one minute compilation of test shots done with my Letus Extreme, my XH-A1, and two different lenses: a cheap Tokina 28-200mm f/3.5 and an excellent Canon FD 85mm f/1.2 L. A couple of the shots are not quite as sharply focused as they appeared in the view finder at the time -- an argument for getting a decent external monitor when using the Letus. But by and large, you can certainly get a good feel for the kind of thing the Letus gives you.

hi Phil

This is my new vid with letus. This time with sound. I hope you like it.

kind regards

Pedro,

Nice work! - Beautiful stuff. I'm assuming you're setting up a table for your tabletop skate dolly for each of those shots, including the dense foliage stuff? If so, wow... lots of work but the shots pay off!

cheno

v nice have added it!

Thanks Phil.

yes Michael. Lots of work, just by myself, but at the end i feel very pleased with it.

Hi,
Received LE last friday, was out shooting on saturday - here's the result

Here's my new short with the Letus. It's about the arrival of Spring!

stunning work Paul. Great composition and a lovely journey

Thanks Philip! I can honestly say it's because of your work that I got the Letus Extreme! Now I have my sights set on a Sony EX...

I shot this one on a sony Z1 with exreme and canon FD lenses:
24/1.4, 55/1.2 asph, 85/1.2 , 135/2.0, 200/2.8, and a contax 35/1.4
for dutch VPRO 'Holland Sport' about two tennis talents...

enjoy
Pim
