Possible 1080p 50p/60p slow-motion workflow for PIX240?
Hi guys,
I'm wondering if this would this work as a possible 1080p slow-motion workflow for the F3 using the PIX240? - Connect PIX240 via HD-SDI monitoring output - Record overcranked (50p/60p) 720p25 to internal camera media - Playback the footage on the camera - Record the playback on the PIX with upscaling from 720p25 to 1080p25 Obviously you're not getting native 1080p resolution, and I assume you'd only be getting 4:2:0 colour information, but would this workflow work for having slow-motion 1080p footage to blend with the rest of your standard speed 1080p footage? |

That may work but why not conform the frame rate with software and bring it into your project as is? You can use a utility such as FFMPEG to change the playback frame rate without recompressing the video.
I use Media Composer and it is no problem to bring 720 footage into a 1080 project.

Pix240 does scaling, but I doubt will do frame remapping. Your best bet is just drop your over cranked footage on a 1080p timeline in the fps you want and then do a post zoom of 50% to bring your 720p footage up to 1080p.
This is what I do with all my over cranked footage and although it is a "blow up" it is very difficult to detect even to the keen eye. |

Thanks guys. I've got an F3 on the way, so I'll give the different workflows a try when it arrives and try to figure out which is easiest overall.

I could understand wanting to do this so you don't have to go through a computer and transcode again, it makes sense if you are just handing the footage over to someone and don't want them to have to worry about all the technical bits.
