Slow-motion (high shutter speed) camera to video my golf swing with 240fps

What is the best model to choose? Would also like a shutter speed of at least 1/2000. I had a Canon SD4000IS that did the trick but was lost (don't ask how!).

Wali,
Some of our current models have the Slow Motion Movie mode that allows a 320 x 240 resolution video to be shot in super slow motion at 240 fps. Based on this requirement and the shutter speed requirement, I have put together a list of models that will work for you.
PowerShot G15
PowerShot S110
PowerShot S100
PowerShot SX50 HS
PowerShot SX40 HS
PowerShot SX260 HS
PowerShot SX230 HS
ELPH 530 HS
ELPH 520 HS
ELPH 510 HS
ELPH 500 HS
ELPH 320 HS
ELPH 310 HS
ELPH 300 HS

Slow motion and Normal speed?

Can I take video shot 720p at 60 fps and use both slow motion and normal speeds in the same video??

Time Stretch is where I would start. If you need to apply that Effect to only part of a Clip, just use the Razor/Scissors Tool, to Cut that Clip, into the segments, where you wish to apply Time Stretch.
Posterize Time can be effective, as well, but from my reading of your needs, I think that Time Stretch (Rt-click the Clip, or Clip segment and apply).
Good luck,

Is iPhohe 5 going to have slow motion and burst mode camera?

Hello friends,
I am actually a little concern about whether iPhone 5 with iOS 7 is going to take slow motion video as well as burst mode pictures or not.
Thank you

Shooting at higher shutter speed for added benefit of stills with RED

The RED Scarlet is renowned for its ability to capture still frames from the video stream. This is great in a photoshoot where you can dial in 1/200th sec shutter, but being a video shooter I can't make use of this great feature as I'll be shooting at 1/50th of a second to emulate a 180 degree shutter angle.
I mainly shoot music videos, where my clients are keen on as many stills as possible during the production process. I figured that it would be theoretically possible to light the scene a little more and speed up the shutter to somewhere in the region of 1/125th sec in order to get less motion blur in the still frames.
Would it then be possible to artificially induce some motion blur in order to emulate a 1/50th sec shutter in Premiere? Is this more hassle than its worth for the payoff of added stills? As the frames are also crisper it becomes easier to slow down the footage in After Efficts with the help of Twixtor or something similar,This would be a big bonus!
Thanks,
Ross

If it were me, I'd just hire a photographer.

Mac mini slow and high fan speeds

Hello! I have a 2011 mid range mac mini and love the machine, however I have noticed a few things. First off, it seems to be a bit on the slow side when multitasking. I have the standard 4 gigs of ram installed, but running programs like MS Word and Safari at the same time, the machine seems to struggle a bit. Also I have noticed when doing a lot of file transfers via USB, the fan will kick up to high gear for a few minutes and then drop down. Is there something wrong or is this normal? I'm doing a time machine backup of 120Gigs, have safari open and activity monitor open.
Activity monitor states 1.16Gigs free, 792MB wired, 961.4MB active, 1.12GB inactive, 2.84GB used. VM size is 150GB, page ins are 962, outs are 380kb, swap used is 10.5MB. Right now the fan seems to have slowed to a mid range mode of some sort and is not in high gear. Thanks!

How many apps you instaled? how many pictures videos and time you get usigm it? let them a litlle sleep, and your mac nmini will ne wel.
As far as the fan is concerned, it will rev up and down
based primarily on CPU load. If something is using
up a lot of processor, it gets hot and therefor the fan
speeds up to cool it down, or atleast maintain a safe temp.
When the fan revs up, open Activity Monitor and see how
much processor resources are being used and look at
the list to see if any one process is using up CPU. This
can also give an idea of what may be slowing things down
as well.
And yes, when doing a lot of file transfers, things may
possibly rev up a bit if it is continuous for a period of time.

Can Motion alter the speed of a video clip?

Or must this be done in FCP?
I want to speed up a clip.

You can alter the FPS in the media pane, or play with the scrub filter - see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=635543 for Scot Walker's tip. Or you can use compressor or FCP, but you must send the self contained export/import of FCP to Motion. Timeline speedchanges are ignored.

Slow motion and frame rate and shutter speed

I have two cameras that record 60i and three that use 30p. Neither of the 60i cameras has a 30p option (one has a pf30). If I understand how FCPx handles this, if I drop both frame rates into a project, I get 30p out, correct? In effect de-interlacing the 60i footage to 30p. Is it best to import the 30p footage first to set that frame rate so that the 60i gets rendered to 30p?
We're producing a fishing DVD so good quality motion footage is important. This is an instructional DVD so I will be using some retiming to slow footage down to illustrate key points in the instruction.
I've read a lot of stuff on 1080i 60i vs. pf30 vs.30p vs. 24fps and benefits of using 720p vs. 1080i. Also looked at information on slow vs. fast shutter speeds.
So, the bottom line to get the best motion results for the DVD, I should be shooting at best bit rate possible, use 1080i 60i or 30p depending on the camera and let FCPx set everything to 30p. Correct?

For the 1080/60i media, it is best to have FCPX conform it to 30p (29.97p). [30p is a real timing: 30 exact frames per second, but it is not broadcast compliant. 29.97 is quite often simply referred to as 30, just for simplicity and/or laziness. The final decision for which to use rests with you. Also note, like "30 fps", 60 more often refers to 59.94 fps... for the same reasons.]
As for your target being DVD: DVD is always 480 lines whether it is anamorphic (16:9) or standard 4:3. If you would like to have "enhanced" slow motion, my recommendation would be to shoot in 720/60p (which is genuinely progressive "60" frames per second) and will give a slightly better edge on slow motion effects (retiming). That said, FCPX retiming is usually quite good no matter what the frame rate (frame blending recommended over optical flow [which tends to give a "morphing" effect when pushed too far].) 1280x720 frame size will give you plenty of downsampling resolution for DVD as well. [I *believe* that FCPX will use all of the 60fps available from the original video in retiming, even if the frame rate of the project is slower than the original media; so, 720/60p conformed to a 30p project and retimed to 50% will use every frame of the 60p slowed down by half... (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!)]
Best bitrate is also an important feature, but that is not due to the choice of format as much as that provided by the camera itself. Bitrates out of the camera may be relative to the frame size (they are in my consumer camcorders). A common consumer grade camcorder will top out at a bitrate (for 1080) somewhere between 17.5 and 22.5 Mbps, whereas an HD capable DSLR will usually top out at (easily) *twice* as much (45Mbps average from my Canon T4i) or more. Furthermore, the DVD standard imposes framerate restrictions (max is somewhere between 5 and 8Mbps -- the software that creates your DVDs will usually transcode for best bitrate, so not something you really need to bother with - just set the transcoder to best possible quality and provide it with the best quality video that's reasonable.) Whichever camera provides the highest bitrate should be your "main" camera.
As you may have discovered: another factor for a quality video regardless of camera is shutter speed. If you set the shutter speed too high (faster than twice the frame rate) then you will have "stuttering" issues (there will be "gaps" from still frame to still frame). Keep the shutter speed at the same or no more than twice the frame rate: e.g., for 1080/30p (target) the shutter speed should never be more than 1/60th of a second (I'll use 1/30th, 1/40th, or 1/50th usually). I haven't shot a lot of 720/60p, but I think I would still keep the shutter speed at between 1/60th and 1/120th exclusively [that is -- I wouldn't go as high as 1/120th or greater... but that's me... you should experiment for best results for you. If this creates exposure issues, then consider neutral density filters or circular polarizing filters to help bring scenes into exposure range (via aperture or iso or both.)

Good luck! Have a good shoot!

Question about Camera/Premiere Settings for Slow Motion Video

I'm new to shooting video with cameras that have manual options, so I'm not exactly sure how I should set up the camera settings. It's a Canon 60D. Basically in the video I want to make, I'd like to have a lot of normal speed to slow motion transitions. Some of the video footage will be very fast paced, so I'd like to slow it down as much as possible without making the video appear jumpy. I assume I should change the frame rate on the camera to 60 fps. Is there anything else I should adjust within the settings?
I will be editing with premiere elements if you know of any additional tips for that.
Thank you in advance!

The speed of your camcorder doesn't matter. You can apply Time Stretch to any video clip.
There's a limit to how much you can slow it, of course. With that camera and Premiere Elements, you're not going to be able to slow down a water spray so you an see the individual droplets or anything like that. But, if you combine TimeStretch and Frame Blend, you should get very good results slowing your footage down a certain amount.
How much you can slow it and still be satisfied with the results is kind of a judgment call. So I encourage you to experiment and see what your tolerance is.

Slow motion video from computer (backup) back to device?

I keep getting idiotic bugs on my iPhone 6, and have been through all the iOS versions. So I have to keep doing resets with iTunes (deletes everything).
I have quite a few slow motion videos on my phone. I back them up before the reset by simply copying everything in the DCIM subfolder to my computer. Question is....how to get the videos back on the phone after a reset, and register as slow motion? It seems impossible. Syncing a folder back with iTunes does not do this. Copying files back onto the camera roll folder is impossible. All I can ever do is get videos back but play in full speed. Thus rendering all slow motion captured useless.
Have Apple completely messed this up?

You have to email it to yourself to preserve the slow-motion effect.

Camera issue - stretch marks - Z1 in M mode, 8MP, iso 800-3200, indoor, hi-shutter speed

I tried to read some pages of the forum, but cannot find the similar issues. I am quite surprised if this issue isn't discovered since 6 months. (or it is common not a problem? please correct me.)
As mentioned in captioned, when in high iso and high shutter speed, there are serious stretch marks. The higher the more visible. Please refer to the photos below:
Photo 1: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/1600s, ISO-3200, in side a restaurant with no window
Photo 2: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/500s, ISO-3200, in side a restaurant with no window
Photo 3: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/125s, ISO-100, in my office at night
Photo 4: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/1000s, ISO-800, in my office at night
Photo 5: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/2000s, ISO-1600, in my office at night
From the Photos above, it is shown that my Z1 cannot take any photo properly INDOOR. When the light is stronger enough (in office/ factory/ laboratory), there are stretch marks even in ISO-100!
I had tried several Z1(s), from my collegues, friend, retail shop and even the display model in Sony's Customer Service Centre (Hong Kong), they all have this problem. The staff of Sony's Centre told me that all the Z1 have this problem and therefore they cannot replace / help.
I had tried with other cell phone / digital camera / DSLR, they do not have this problem. This is not common.
It is believed that Sony is professional in digital camera technology (refer to A7, A7R), and the 20M pixel DC quality camera is the selling point of Z1 and may be Z2. There should be an solution for this issue.

Hi, I had took some photos from my 7-year-old Fuji F100fd and 4-year-old Google Nexus One under same light source for comparison:
Photo Z1-1: Xperia Z1, ISO-400 , f/2, 1/160s, 8MP
Photo Z1-2: Xperia Z1, ISO-1600 , f/2, 1/640s, 8MP
Photo FJ-1: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-400, f/3.3, 1/52s, 12MP
Photo FJ-2: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-3200, f/3.3, 1/400s, 12MP
Photo FJ-3: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-6400, f/3.3, 1/850s, 3MP
Photo N1-1: Google Nexus One, ISO-100, 5MP (No info provided in Exif)
Photo N1-2: Google Nexus One, ISO-1250, 5MP (No info provided in Exif)
From photos FJ-1 to FJ-3 by Fuji DC, no matter how high ISO and fast shutter speed, there is no stretch line in photo by Fuji DC. There means it is technically feasible to fix the stretch line problem.
From photos N1-1 to N1-2 by Google Nexus One, there are stretch lines only when ISO-1250 but very light and colourless. It seems more acceptable.
From photos Z1-1 to Z1-2 by Xperia Z1, stretch lines appear from ISO-200 to ISO-3200 and they are bold, dark and colour like stain. It is certainly unacceptable...
I hope I can get a solution on this issue. I wonder if other Z1 owners got the same problem?

Old 430EX won't sync with 5Diii when used off camera, if shutter speed is over 200.

I am using a cowboy studio transmitter & receiver. Manuals for the 430 & 5d both indicate highspeed sync will work with higher shutter speed. 430 is set to highspeed sync.

The Cowboy Studios won't allow HSS. I'm not sure what model you're using, but knowing Cowboy Studios I'm guessing it's full manual only. The Yongnuo 622 triggers will allow HSS.
Again, I don't know the specifics of your trigger. But Yongnuo manual triggers (602, 603) will still trigger if you go above max sync speed, you'll just get banding due to the falling shutter.
Keep in mind that HSS significantly reduces the amount of power out of a flash. And since it's effectively a continuous light at that point, the faster the shutter speed the less the flash can contribute to the exposure. I'm not sure what speeds you're using, but if you're up in the 1/1000+ range the power output will be quite small.

Slow Motion and Frame Rates?

Hi I have a Sony NEX-VG20EH camera and it has an adjustable frame rate. I have put the frame rate on 8000 and recorded some footage. When i load it into Premiere it is still showing as 50.00 fps. I want to do some slow motion stuff but when i slow it down to 10% it is still quite "jumpy". Any ideas?

While many cameras DO offer the ability to "overcrank" for a short duration, such as to capture a golf swing in slow-motion, I looked at the specs for your camera and don't see that feature listed.
Raising the shutter speed means that the shutter is open for a shorter duration during the exposure of each frame of video. At slow shutter speeds, fast motion will look blurred on a freeze frame or during slow playback, because the subject moved quite a bit during the time the shutter was open. A fast shutter will "freeze" each moment in time clearly, but also lowers light sensitivity, so best used outdoors in good light.
It can be fun to play with shutter speeds - on my honeymoon, I was shooting the airplane prop out my window and cranked up the shutter speed until the prop STOPPED and I could read the serial number off of it in my viewfinder!! Note this was in the old days with CCD sensors - the new CMOS sensors have skew which warps the image in many cases.
Note that very high shutter speeds will result in choppy motion, so only use as needed.

More frames for super slow motion

Hi everyone. I'm trying to figure something out and I think I need some help.
I do highlight videos of assorted stuff and I wanna do a super slow motion effect. Nothing longer than a second on real time, but blow it to 10 seconds on slow motion.
When I do this I obviously get various issues and it looks horrible.
I cannot reshoot the footage with another camera or with a higher shutter speed. This is stuff done at a particular event and they just give me the footage from the truck.
I was wondering if there's any software, plug-in, effect or technique to achieve this super slow motion look but without the light "blinks" or "stop motion" you get when you go really slow.
I think what I may need to do is to find a way to create extra frames (somehow) to get a smooth effect/transition between frame, but I just can't achieve it.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanx.
PS: If motion or compressor can do this, that would be great too.

you've answered your own question!
both Motion and Compressor can be used to create a better quality slowmo
