Re: Grabbing Stills While in Video Mode

Well, the same applies surely? I might have sounded a bit curt and dismissive and that wasn't the idea, but there's no exposure or stability magic to video mode. If video mode can do it for a...

Re: Video Lighting

Speedlites are (as far as I'm aware) all flashes so they probably aren't what you want. You'd need constant lighting for video.
Modelling light is just light that emphasises the form of your...

Re: samyang 35mm 1.4 m/f

Oh absolutely. It just means check the reviews really. Brand can tell you other things about a lens line, broadly speaking: target markets/application, build quality etc. It's just the sharpness...

Re: Frame Rate

It looks alright. What are you expecting to see here? Should it be faster or slower?
(incidentally, doing just about anything in After Effects means re-rendering. That's unfortunately how After...

Re: Grabbing Stills While in Video Mode

If you set the shutter speed etc to the same as that of the video you would have got the same result, in the larger format to boot. You might even find that a slightly slower shutter speed than...

Re: samyang 35mm 1.4 m/f

I was reading some lens guru once describing how, for obscure technical/physics reasons I don't recall, 85mm and 50mm prime lenses are some of the simplest lens lengths to make well. Which is why...

Re: Memory Card

I've got a 32gig Transcend class 10. I've filled it many times and never had a problem with it. The price probably does suggest milage may vary though.

Re: T3i vs 5DMK2 (Video Only)

Yeah, same here. My card wasn't full or too slow but it was fragmented and it would stop recording once each empty space was full (always start with a clean card kids).

On the 550d the...

Re: T3i vs 5DMK2 (Video Only)

No offense, but it be interesting to know what 'definitely overheated' looks like too.
(I thought my 60D overheated once, but it was actually something else.)

Re: Frame Rate

I think you should check out the price, light requirements and so on of proper high speed cameras. It offers some indication of why it's hard for your sub-$1000 camera to manage.

Re: Lens for close video and low light?

For quick work without a lot of changing lenses and fidgeting about that's also probably the cheapest option, Close-Up filters are probably the best choice here. They're light and small and easy to...

Re: New t3i or new lens

But the feature is effectively zooming in on a small part of the image, and therefore lens, where it wasn't before.
I think that was the point. For instance, the Canon 18-55 kit lens is quite weak...

Re: samyang 35mm 1.4 m/f

Geez, what was it? Candle light? Last time I shot in a dim reception room at 1.8 and 1600 the footage came out brighter on the camera than the scene was to my eye. Hey, not disputing. Anything's...

Re: Export quality

I watched it in 720. It looks different but not very bad. It looks like I would expect after a stabiliser. If it is a problem you should adjust the options to make it stabilise less or...

Re: Export quality

It's hard to see a serious problem from that example. I may be looking in the wrong place. What do you find wrong with it?

Remember that a stabiliser (most of them, I'm pretty sure, anyway) have...

Re: AE slow even with 16bg ram?

Possibly stupidly obvious: Have you gone into the options and checked it's using multicore processing? That helps.

AE is never meant to be real time, so it does everything the hard way. It...

60D's 1/30 shutter speed

Hello all. I couldn't find anything specifically about this at a glance so here goes.

I was wondering how folks are finding 1/30th shutter on the 60D.
I know well enough that it's always said...

AE and Nvidia graphics drivers

I found a weird problem the other day. I should probably take it to Adobe or someone (most likely nvidia's fault actually) but I want to make sure I haven't just forgotten to tick some box first.

Re: How do I turn video into 8-bit (Nintendo)-type graphics?

Depends on a lot of things. What software are you using?

The basic problem seems to be getting the detail and the colour count reduced to the appropriate level. How well any solution works is...
