15 Shutter Speed to 60 conversion?

Is it even possible? long story short. make sure someone knows how to shoot DV even if they tell you they do. she shot a wedding and took the shutter speed down to 15 so we all know what the footage looks like. is there a way to bring it back to 60 in FCP? i'm not getting my hopes up but if there is can any of you guys help me out? thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, Joel.
This is what I would try: double speed the desired clip, no frame blending. This will result in a clip that is 30FPS, but where everything is running at double speed. Export that result as a self contained QuickTime. Then I'd use the technique outlined here:
Patrick Sheffield, "Compressor for Slow-mo gives fantastic results..." #61, 10:39am Aug 26, 2005 CDT
And run it at 50%. This should slow down everything back to normal speed and with optical flow analysis create the "in-between" frames.
This will take no small amount of processing power, so you may want to do it only on select clips.
Good luck, post back,
Patrick

  • How to force a shutter speed on footage that strobes due to LED lighting?

    I shot some footage of a speaker against a projected backdrop that had LED lights and didn't have time to find the right shutter speed before it actually started. So now the background strobes quite frequently random colors due to them being out of sync. During the break I found that 1/60th of a second shutter speed evened it out enough to be watchable. So part 2 is okay but part 1 is horrible. I've already tried a slew of plugs in FCP and am stuck. I shot some burlesque footage a while back that had this same issue but turned it into old aged film and you can't tell. But this is for a client that kind of needs this to be clear for training. Help please! I know Shake has the power to do this, but not sure where the tool is...???

    The best way to deal with stuff like this is to be creative with it. I'm sure some of the regulars to this forum have heard this story many times before but I'm going to tell it again anyway. I was working on a movie in Seattle that was shot on 35mm. We'd shoot one day and get the telecined tapes back the next day (or the day after if there were a lot). The last day of shooting came along, and the crew packed up and left for LA the next morning, with the post guys staying in Seattle to continue the edit. We got that last tape back after they'd left and guess what? One of the camera angles in a conversation scene was completely out of focus. The other guy was fine but every shot of the main character was unusable. Everyone had left - there was no way we could reshoot it, so we put our thinking caps on and ended up cutting in the good angle as a flashback during another scene. The result was awesome and far more powerful than the original scene would have been, and we'd never have found it if that angle hadn't been out of focus. I want to shake that AC by the hand if I ever see him again.
    So try to think of a creative way around the problem and it could end up being even better.

  • How do I speed up the conversion of a PDF to Word using Adobe ExportPDF?

    How do I speed up the conversion of a PDF to Word using Adobe ExportPDF?

    Believe me, we ALL know what you are going through!
    You CAN develop your slideshow directly in iDVD and you can have multiple songs (I just figured this out myself just now! LOL). I will walk you through the process.
    Firstly, open a new project in iDVD.
    Then press the + button (bottom left hand side) and add slideshow and a heading "My Slideshow" will show up on your iDVD screen. Then, go into your media and press photos, and drop your folder of photos into the "My Slideshow" button (if you havent put your folders into a new album in iPhoto, now is the time to do this).
    Now double click on your My Slideshow button and all your photo's should come up. Down the bottom of this page you will see some options. Slide Duration, Transition etc. Again, go into your media and select audio. Go through your playlist and hold down the apple button (next to space bar left hand side) and select the songs you want to play with your slides then drag them across to the audio button (it automatically changes the slideshow to fit to audio). The only problem I can see with this is that there is considerable "dead" time between tracks which means some slides show without music. You can easily solve this by going into Garage Band and trim off the excess "dead" time at the end of each track. If you have problems with this I can talk you through that too if you would like.
    Oh and I think i read somewhere that 99 photos is the maximum you can have in iPhoto?? That could be what is causing your problem. You could always break it down in to 2 separate slide shows?

  • Displaying Shutter Speed in the New Format

    I've looked at all the menus (Preferences, Loupe/Grid View, etc) and searched the forum, but I can't seem to find how to display the shutter speed (and I believe F stop as well) in the alternative format (ie if displaying "1/200" the display will render "1/200" in a smaller font that is more of a traditional photographic way to view.)
    Any help appreciated!

    If using a Mac you'll find that the Preference labelled Typographic Fractions does what you appear to be seeking (see screenshot). I can't recall if Windows supports this particular feature, but it does have a font smoothing option (same dialog) that "might" help.

  • EOS 70D : Slow shutter speed when LCD screen turned on

    Hi !
    Need your help. I am beginner & I have new 70D camera. When LCD panel turned off, the shutter speed is quite fast. When I turn on LCD Panel, the shutter speed automatically slows down & sounds annoying. The pictures are same in both cases. Also, the high speed continuous photo shoot, the shutter speed slows down when the LCD panel is turned on. Please help me to fix this. 
    Solved!

    There is nothing wrong with your camera.  It is working as it should when using LiveView.  
    There are two different types of Auto Focus:
    1) Normally with a Film SLR or Digital SLR, you look through the optical viewfinder and view your scene through the lens of the camera.  Behind the lens a mirror reflects the image up into the optical viewfinder. When using the viewfinder the camera uses "Phase Detection" Auto Focus. With PD AF the image passes through a transparent part of the mirror to PD AF sensors below the mirror.  When you half press the shutter button the AF operates and when you fully press the shutter button the mirror flips up out of the way to allow the image to reach the image sensor behind the now open shutter curtain. While the mirror is flipped up, you can not see anything through the optical viewfinder.  This all takes place very quickly and makes a fair bit of noise from the action of the mirror flipping back and forth and the shutter curtain opening and closing. 
    2) When using LiveView on a DSLR, the rear LCD image displays the image. In order to for this to happen the mirror must be flipped up and the shutter curtain must be fully open.  The optical viewfinder becomes useless and the only way to see anything is by looking at the rear LCD screen. Auto Focus is no longer done with Phase Detection sensors below the mirror and now used  Contrast Detection Auto Focus is used by reading the focus right off the image sensor.  This type of AF is slower than PD AF.  
    The difference in sound is only because the mirror is already flipped up as soon as you press the LiveView button and all you hear is the sound of the shutter curtain clsoing and then opening up again so you can once again see the image on the LCD screen  . The actual shutter opening and closing speed is exactly the same. 
    Here is more info on how Phase Detection AF works:

  • 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

  • How do I set the Shutter Speed in Manual Mode on my EOS 70D

    I recently was forced to upgrade to a Canon 70D after my 50D died from a fall.  I am not happy with the ease of setting the Shutter speed while in Manual mode.  The only way I can currently set the shutter speed while in Manual mode, is to go to the info screen and set the shutter speed with the touch screen.  The manual states that I should be able to set the Shutter speed with the Main Dial, behind the shutter release. ( which is how it was on the 50D).  I can control the Aperture with the quick control dial.  The Function Lock button is off.
    I am sure this is do to some setting I have wrong, that is not allowing me to fix this issue, but I cant figure out what it could be after hours on the net and in the manual.  I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.
    Thanks
    Gene

    Another possible solution is to use a battery grip on your 70D and see if the dial on the grip will change the shutter speed.

  • Best frame rate , resolution and shutter speed Canon XF 305 for chromakeying

    Hi,
    I have to shoot some footage with the Canon XF305 (green screen Chromakeying) And the only progressive frame rates I can choose are ( 25P 1920x1080) or (50Pand 25P 1280x720).
    What shutter speed do I have to use?
    What will be the best quality choice for keying?! The output will be Vimeo at the end. I have a Xenon 6core 3.2, Memory 24 GIG, GTX580.
    Of course I know the best resolution, but I mean the best choices for keying.
    It's done in PAL.
    Thanks David

    A high suhutter speed is improtant for crisp edges, especially if your codec is not frame-based, because your subjects will have little or no motion blur. 125th seocnd at least. faster if you can get it. Requires lots of light. You must not trade off depth of field because focus is critical to good keys, too, and you must not add gain because noise will degrade your key.

  • Elements 3 WIN-file info shutter speed & aperture missing

    Please forgive me if this is a duplicate but I haven't been able to locate this topic in help files, FAQs or on this forum. That doesn't mean it's not there-only that there is so much info that I can't find it.
    I have a Sony DSC-H2 camera. When I open photo files from this camera in Photoshop Elements 3 and view File Info there is missing information on the Camera Data 1 tab-the aperture and shutter speed. This is supposed to be read only information.
    Any ideas on why it's missing and how I can correct this?

  • Motion Blur caused by Shutter Speed 50?!

    Hi All,
    I'm a GH2 user. Shoot in 50i-50ss-5.6f. I realized that is an effect such like "Motion Blur" which caused by the low shutter speed as I mentioned (50ss). Search around some forum, it is quite common. In fact, it looks not really comfortable to me! How do you solve this issue or perhaps reducing/smoothen the motion blur issue?
    Picture like focus clear &amp; sharp while talent do not move to left or right. Once his/her head move to left or right, there is motion blur after it. In fact, facused while talent did not move his/her head then.
    Thanks!

    David,
    Thanks for the prompt reply and confirmation.
    Perhaps, 1/50 producing slow shutter speed result--motion blur? It just like a man walk from left to right in front of my cam, and the man will be blur in motion during the recording. It'll only stay focused while the man stop and stand still. Double up the shutter speed will helps this? like 1/100? Might need your opinion.
    Some friends ask me "are you shooting a speedy subject?". Not really that speed or fast. Just like what i've mention above, perhaps just walking...turn around...hand up...those might blur in 1/50 shutter speed with fully Continuos Focus Function.
    I'm just curious, how could those GH2 friends shooting a Dance Genre Music of MV? They are dancing, moving fast enough...but, surprise, MV is just sharp and stay focused on every person! What do you say?
    Is those below's MV consider pretty smooth? Can you tell what's the shutter speed on those? Continuos Focus + Manual Focus in use?
    Thanks for now and hear from you soon! Apprciate to your precious time to answer

  • Shutter speed footage

    So I have some footage that has had the shutter speed changed as i done a manual setting on the camera(XLR2).
    The reason i changed this was we had to film a presentation with LCD screens in the shot. So to stop the flickering of the screens i changed the Shutter speed. This obviously effects the picture. We filmed in 50i 16:9 25fps. I have now digitized the footage into fcp but obviously we still have a slight lag in the motion image. Is there a solution or effect so that i can have this footage looking more......"normal"..... rather than a little bit slow motioney??
    Does frame blending help or hinder?
    Thanks in advance
    Nice

    You're saying you shot at normal shutter speeds of 1/50s for most of the scenes but these interiors with the screens were shot at, what, 1/4s? And you allowed movement to occur in the shot? do we have that correct?
    You have recorded image blur caused by a shutter being left open while lit objects in the frame moved. There is no way to remove those pixels that leave trails behind the objects. You must reshoot.

  • I have a 6D. When I turn on my camera, the shutter speed display reads 00.

    My shutter speed display on my EOS 6D reads "00". I have tried turning the camera on and off, charging the batteries and removing and replacing the memory card.  Any suggestions for what might be the problem?

    That sounds bad.&nbsp; It could still just be some weird setting.&nbsp; I have had odd things happen on a camera due to an accidental setting, and so I always try "Clear All Camera Settings" first.&nbsp; In MENU, tab over to the 4th (the last) yellow wrench tabs, and it is about 2/3 of the way down the list.
    &nbsp;
    Perhaps one of the moderators will chime in at some point with something that can help.
    &nbsp;
    Failing that, at some point you might need to send the camera in to Canon for repair.&nbsp; The mods always post the following link when something seems to be actually broken:

  • Where to find photo shutter speed, F stop etc. in iPhoto

    When I download Nikon photos to iPhoto library I was unable to find camera information such as camera shutter speed using Get Info button from the photo I clicked. But when I export the same photo out of iPhoto to Desktop and use the Get Info dialogue, I found the shutter speed information there, so the iPhoto must have store such info somewhere.
    Question: is there an easy way to get shutter speed, F stop etc. directly from the iPhoto app without exporting the photo out of the iPhoto library?

  • Iso, Shutter Speed, Aperture, White balance for music videos or film?

    Hello everyone. I just started making music videos. I just want some tips or can someone  direct me to a good  guide for music videos. I know the basics of iso, shutter speed, and aperture already. I read some guides and so far I know I gotta put  my shutter at 1/50 or if i'm recording something at high speed, i  increase it. is it so? Also, I always put my aperture at the lowest. I  have a Canon T2i and Canon lenses 50 f/1.8 and kit lens. I always put my  aperture at the lowest 3.5(kit lens) or 1.8. The tricky part is the ISO. I don't  know where to put my ISO. I know the lowest ISO is good but sometimes  the video looks dark. Do I fix this in video editing programs? Like should I always  stay at ISO 100? What about white balance? I use Final Cut 7.
    Also, what about during the day and night? Indoors? etc I also have a cheap LED lights.

    your questions are about the very basics of photography.
    I would consider to buy a book, which explains photography 'from the ground' ("... for dummies.." not meant as an offence!)
    in short:
    a scenery offers a defined amount of light.
    Your cameras 'film' aka sensor, needs a defined amount of light to deliver a picture.
    So, on recoprding, you have to control the amount of light, and the controls are:
    aperture - opened or closed
    shutter - shorter or longer
    speed (ISO) - higher or lower.
    Imagine the light as a stream of tiny balls, coming from your scenery: a bigger hole = aperture lets more balls into the cam. A shorter shutter speed reduces the amount of balls. And a higher ISO catches more balls than a lower. ..
    Understanding that, you realize that those parameters are crosswise-related: an open aperture + a shorter shutter speed results in the same amount of light on the sensor as a closed aperture and a longer shutter speed.
    If the amount of light is still too much, lower the sensitivity = ISO.
    If the amount of light is too little, open the aperture, or use a longer shutter speed or raise the sensitivity.
    When you set one or two parameters in this equation, you have to adjust the other ones: Video-makers start with the shutter speed, usually set to 1/2 of frame-rate = 1/50 - 1/60 - why? Because it allows a nice looking 'smear' aka motion-blur aka 'film look'.
    Now, with a given speed, you can conrtol teh amount of light for the sensor only by aparture; and when you reach limits, by setting ISO.
    When you understood this BY PRACTICING, you're next step is the concept of 'shallow focus'/depth of field. And when you understood this BY PRACTICING, you'll will understand the need of Neutral Densitity Filters for movie-makers...
    But first things first: buy a book; read your cam's amnual; practice the settings and watch carefully the different results, diff. settings result.
    ... and it's really just about basics - independently of your device and/or your software.
    None of the things mentioned above can be done or 'fixed' in post... (basically...)
    happy movie making!
