Final Cut Pro X

somebody just told me that the interlaced in Panasonic GH3 isn't really interlaced but PsF Progressive Segmented Frame Format. The same person told me to choose 3 >> 3. - avchd 1920 x 1080, 50i    image sensor output 25 p, 24  mbps And choose in FCPX  1080p25  for the Project. Rubbish or wise and why?

So the 1 or the 4? Thanxs just as I expected! Wasn't sure anymore ;-)

Because I'm only shooting Mov normally I forgot about AVCHD settings. What's the best AVCHD setting to use on the Panasonic GH3 and why?             1.- avchd 1920 x 1080, 50 p,  image sensor output 50 p , 28 mbps 2. - avchd 1920 x 1080, 50i    image sensor output 50 p, 17  mbps 3. - avchd 1920 x 1080, 50i    image sensor output 25 p, 24  mbps 4. - avchd 1920 x 1080, 25 p  image sensor output 24 p, 24  mbps          

For some reason I don't want to use my more expensive real lavaliere so I made a cheaper version lavaliere microphone from a telephone headset.  See video at minute 2:35. It work fine on my GH3 but it doesn't work as intended on my zoom H1. Both devices need a 3,5 mm min jack plug. Anybody a clue why it doesn't work?      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DXGNGuwkCI&feature=youtu.be&t=2m35s    

What's the proper way to connect the Rode video mic pro with a 3,5 mm jacket to the beachtek DXA-SLR pro HDSLR audio adapter? Should you use one XLR adapter or a splitter which splits it into a left and right XLR to go to the L and R channels? The 'audio' experts where I bought my mircro's couldn't answer my question  :rolleyes:   Thanxs 4 helping!   Blanche

Mister JHines - I  figure you'll share your revenues of the selling with me because I made your commercial   :D

Today was a lovely day. The baby blue tits flew into the wide world and I tested some settings on my camera and my new ND filter. Hope you like the quick edit. I like my new ND fader.   camera - Panasonic GH3 lens - Panasonic 12-35 mm settings - Mov 50p, -5, -5, -3, -4 and no color grading filter - Light Craft variable fader ND digi Pro-Hd music - Cold summer landscape by Blearmoon     https://vimeo.com/68405644

For some reason I can't send you an PB Leang so I'll try it this way. Do you have a solution for this question? http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/2889-sennheiser-mke400-on-panasonic-gh3-audio-distortion-problem/

Thanxs! I don't know the correct english words to do a good google search. It's called interference or something else? Actually I can't use the sennheiser on the zoom as I will use the zoom as an alternative broadcaster with my lavelier. I already contacted the store I bought it and although it has been 4 months ago me purchasing it they're willing to change it to another mic. Would the Rode video mic pro be better with the GH3?

Today I had an extensive testing of the Sennheiser MKE400 microphone with my Panasonic GH3. I tried it in different settings (Highering and lowering the audio gain in and outside the camera) but it came with a disappointing sssss noise. When I used the mic with my Zoom H1 it was still there but lesser. Anybody knows what's causing this and got a solution? Thanx!

  Wow thank you for your answer Axel! I'm working with FCP and only have two audio lines so I guess the center channel is missing? What (free) audio/edit software is there for Mac to create this effect without to much more work?          This I don't really get. Reply in German is possible  ;)

Yesterday I watched Dexter and he's a lot talking to himself. They use his voice in a slightly different audio mode to mimic that he's thinking. A cool tool to tell stories - but I'm breaking my head over the way this can be done. Anybody?

Hi Joshi - Maybe this video helps with the time laps?  It's learning me something!   What do you mean wit HDR (high dynamic rade) mode and barcketing? Where can I find it on the GH3 (the histogram?) and how do you control it?   >> ?? >> Does somebody know the maths behind thimelapsing - how many pictures should I take against how many interval to get x amount of seconds video footage?   With slow mo I shoot on 50fps and then slow it down in post. Heard that this method gives you a broader range of freedom in post. I never use the in camera modus for this so I don't really know the effect.   http://youtu.be/GUW3aFJgG_w

WOUW!!!

      What's  IQ Paulio? As I'm a run and gun style videographer I need the variable ND to save me time. Got only two hands doing audio, interviews and photography  ;)      Anyway my variable ND from Tiffen arived with sticky stains (!!!) so I send it back. But I tested it before and didn't like the colorcast it's given even though I tried to color grade it. So now I'll go for a more expensive one which Philip Bloom likes the LCW ND Digi Pro-HD. Fingers crossed that all the money is worth it.    O by the way I found this test for testing color casts on ND filters.  vimeo.com/26988895      EDIT : Wow got a really quick delivery of my LCW ND Digi Pro-HD. Tested it in the garden and on my macbook. First review - no color casts and really pleasing images. Didn't test the sharpness of the bokeh really but it looked all right to me on the first view

    Thanks Amro! - Bought the 32 GB as the price diffrence wasn't that big. - Transcend premium ultra speed SDHC class 10. Start filming with it next monday as I have to do some shots of grumpy commuters in a train. Long live the GoPro as I'm to shitty to take the shots with my normal camera  :lol:

No offense but you must be dutch regarding the way you handle this thread. Yep I know how to use Google very well. Last months this was how I worked my way through hours of google learning all the different aspects of filmmaking from scratch - story tellling, lightning, audio etc.   As this is a forum for filmmakers I thought hee let's hear the opinion of other videographers who already used this camera. This is what I think a forum is for isn't it. Sometimes even when the manual says class 10  - there are opnions among videographers stating a higher read/write class was better for several reasons. Not all class 10 cards have the same writing/reading capacities.   So no ofence + thanxs for the answer!

What read- and write class micro sd cards is best for GOPRO 3 Black edition?   The manual only states I should look for a class 10 but  nothing on the read- and write class. Is it over the top to use 32 GB cards for your GoPro? p.s I prefer the Transcends.   Thanxs for helping out!

  Hahaha - anyway I did buy the Tiffen for only 70 euro's. I figured let's buy the 58mm now - before they discover their mistake.  B)  All other places are way more expensive. Let's hope my camera likes it!

After watching this test about variable ND filters http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/variable-nd-filter-shootout/ I'm thinking about investing in the Tiffen. At the moment I'm shooting with the kit lens - H-H S12035 on my Panasonic GH3. But in the future I sure invest in some primes.    - What would be the best filter seize to invest? And what rings? - Can I apply a ND filter on the UV filter? - If I take another seize filter as mentioned in the test - how do I make sure it's the same thing as mentioned in   the test? I saw this one but don't know if it's the same. The prices are not matching ;-)     Tiffen 82 mm from the test   Tiffen 58 mm found on the internet     Thanxs for helping!!!   Blanche

Digging further into the technics behind DSLR filming...   So there happens to be a Native ISO for each type of camera. This particular ISO settings gives the best images with the least noice. It also determines you ISO stops. I found out that the best ISO stops for a Canon are 160, 320, 640, 1250, and 2500 - avoiding 125, 250, 500, and 100.   Does anybody know the best ISO stops for the Panasonic GH3?     

Yesterday I shot with a guy who could go down to 100 on his canon. Was amazed to see his effects. Why can't we on the Pana? I still have difficlties handeling the light on my camera. Is the +/- buttom on the right the one to play with for GH3 people specially when shooting a shallow dept of field? I won't work in Manual though.

Thanxs - Have the same lens but sometimes my footage can be really shaky sometimes. So therefore I asked.
