Motion Smoothing: what is it???
The manual says motion smoothing "adds frames" to the signal being recorded. Exactly how many frames are added? Is it 60p or something?
If any of you use it, do you have it on all the time or only selectively? |
Basically, the camera is shooting 60p, but due to technical limitations can only record 30, so it's throwing away half of the frames. Motion smoothing takes the frame it would normally throw away and blends it into the frame that is being recorded. Useful for giving the effect of a longer shutter speed, but not much else. Most people don't like how it looks.

I don't use it. If you turn it on, you will see a ghost/tracer image when you hit the pause button. This creates a smoother video look but if you need stills later on, you are screwed.

I hate Motion Smoothing. It gives you a real video glare after each subject. Turn it off, unless you want double images following your actors when they move.

Motion Smooting isn't really for actors moving around. It's for shooting action scenes when you are using 30p. It is far better than simply shooting 30p -- as the filter eliminates eye strobing artifacts. |
turn it off for good. u can do it at post
just like sharpness, once u turn on u cant take it out later.
but any simple NLE can put in , simply duplicate the track and blur it set at 50%transparent and set a frame or 1/2 differ. JY |
You could do it in post if you had access to the full 60p stream... The whole point of motion smoothing is that you only have access to half the frames.

I wonder if there is any use for motion smoothing. Seems like everyone thinks it is stupid.

2) ...the MF is NOT for 24p...(Admin Edited.) 3) The MF is for folks shooting 30p who don't want eye strobing artifacts. And, these -- with fast action -- are far worse than the MF look. It doesn't look as good as 60i or 60p, but it looks better than 30p. Just ask anyone with a first generation JVC camcorder. |
