A place to post your high framerate movies.

[Dromedargutten]

Hello,

I'm a bit curios about the video hosting on the pinkbike website.
They claim to be the only one with the capability to post movies with a frame rate up to 120 fps...
I dont have any videocamera at the time so i have not been able to tested it my self.
Please try it out and share your experiences.

His 50p video does not look 50fps to me, looks more like ordinary 30p stuff.

You mean their Flash player runs at 120 fps? That's ridiculous. You'd need quite a bit of computer power to run that at any decent resolution.

The 50p version does look a lot more like TV. The problem is that if you're running a Flash player at 120 fps, 120/50 = 2.4 and 120/25 = 4.8. Since they don't fit perfectly, some kind of conversion must be performed. This is also why 25p can look weird on Vimeo, which runs at 30. A Flash player with an adaptive framerate or HTML5 video would be best.

Here is a link to some Phantom shot at almost 60,000 frames per second. playback is still standard 1:1. with phantom, you shoot at any rate you want to and drop frames to achieve the playback speed you want....

Not sure what they are talking about either......

I don't get it. Why would you need a player to play back high speed? 25 and 30 are fine no?

 

[Zacatac]

if you play back 120fps at 120fps, it wouldn't be in slow motion.


Playing 120fps at 24fps is slowmotion.... Youtube can do this...

 

[BWyldeck]

I know but when/why would you want to play back at 120fps?

 

[BWyldeck]

Bump

I know but when/why would you want to play back at 120fps?

To get super smooth motion with little blur. It is the opposite of the elusive 'film look' most people on this forum are after.

 

[BWyldeck]

Ok got ya. Never new there was a market for it. Any links to some good examples?

 

[BWyldeck]

I guess not then.

 

[Zissou]

would not 30fps at a very high frame rate above perhaps 1/250th & up with proper lighting not achieve the same effect?

unless you want the ability to watch in realtime, without dropping frames, and slow down at will to watch at say 120fps at 1/4 speed of 30fps or whatever rate...

seems like a waste really.
