Ive been up all night messig with compression settings for my short film so I can upload it to Vimeo. The film was edited in premiere usin 5dnmark ii footage converted to pro res hq. I am using adobe media encoder 5.5 to encode an uncompressed master to an h264 mp4. Something weird was...

TheArtist, I'm shooting on a 5d mark ii. Lucky Hardwood, how'd you compare the quality of the Tamron to the Canon?

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm not limiting myself to just Canon lenses. Are there any other brands that are similar in range and quality?

That stinks. Especially when much cheaper lenses have IS. How hard is it to include it? Even when taking photos handheld, it makes a worlds difference. Canon irks me sometimes...

Does anyone know of a good alternative to the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens that has IS? This lens is discontinued and its replacement is much more expensive (and isn't out yet). Plus, taking video handheld is really tricky without IS, so I'd rather get a lens that has IS. Thanks.

I am taking video on my 5d mark ii using the new magic lantern 2.3. I am using the feature that lets you increase the bitrate of the video. I want to verify that the bitrate is being increased, but am not sure how to check the video files to see what their bitrate is. Is there a way to do this...

The deadline is approaching on this project and I won't be able to get access to an FS700 soon enough. In weighing my options I am going to try using Twixtor with footage from my 5d Mark ii. Any advice on what settings will make the footage easier for Twixtor to work with? I read that the faster...

I currently own a 5d Mark ii and two lenses (Canon 50mm 1.4 USM and Canon MP-E 65mm 1.4/1-5x Macro Lenses) and am looking into purchasing a Sony FS700. What adapter(s) are available for using both these lenses with the FS700? Thanks.

I am looking at a bunch of reviews and test footage of the FS700 in slow-mo at 1080p and am now seriously considering in investing in one. I realize that a one day rental will most likely not be enough since I will have to do a lot of testing with the camera to get the shot to look the way I...

And The Artist, I really like your idea of having the actress standing and turning the camera sideways with a fan. I will try that out for sure.

I shot some test footage and tried using Twixtor, but it didn't look right. The person falling is going to have long, flowing hair and a flowing garment. The hair and clothes starting warping all weird like. Twixtor worked great where there are real clean edges, like limbs. Long hair...

I did not know the FS700 did 300fps at full HD. That would be MUCH cheaper to rent than an Epic. It's only going to be one scene in a 6 min music video that will be a few mins long tops, so I wasn't eager to have to drop the money on renting a Red Epic for a few mins of footage. Does the FS700...

I want to shoot a scene for an abstract short film where a girl is falling in slo-mo (like 300fps). In the example music video below, there are some scenes where actresses are suspended in air and appear to be falling in slo-mo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwZx-udWuxI Does anyone have any...

I just want to clarify, would there be a performance difference in realtime playback in Premiere CS5.5 if I transcoded the footage from native?

Hmm, I wonder why playback is so slow. I even have the playback resolution at 1/4. All I did was overlap 3 clips with various opacity settings and it freezes during playback. I know I can render the sections giving me trouble, but I am hesitant to do so because when I am editing, I like to move...

I am editing 1080p footage from a 5d mark ii in Premiere Pro CS5.5. Playback is very slow, even with no filters in place. The bar at the top of the timeline is always yellow and sometimes during playback, it will freeze on a frame while the player head keeps moving in the timeline and the audio...

I am looking for a fluid head to use with my Canon 5d mark ii. Something under $300. I was looking at the Manfrotto 701HDV, but the reviews weren't that great. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info. I would only be putting my 5d mark ii on it and I would be extra careful. Probably tie the strap from the camera to the c-stand so if for some reason it did detach, it wouldn't hit the floor. Any idea where I can find one of these baby pins with a 3/4" screw? I am searching...

I recently purchased a few Impact C-stands with extension arms. I'd like to attach my 5d mark ii to the extension arm so I can get some high angle shots and even rotate the arm while filming. Can anyone recommend an adapter that will enable me to connect my DSLR to the c-stand?

Okay so I got the impact c-stand kits. I'd like to attach my Eliminator E 106 pin spot lights and my 5d Mark II to the extension arms. What adapters would I need to do this? I looked everywhere and can't find a solution.
