Even MORE Framerates!!!!!!

Ok using Barry's hack I just realised that if you shoot with a 350 degree shutter, and speed up 200% in post, you get 1 FPS. SWEET. SUPER DE DUPER FAstmotion.
 
I just use my FS-100 to shoot 1fps natively, no need to touch it in post.

But that is a great hack for folks who don't use the FS-100! Pretty nice!

Here's my 1fps test witht the FS-100, it's about 25.9MB. Right click, download. Cool thing is, the FS-100 records sound, even when only shooting 1fps. With "noise" like a lawn mower engine, it works, sort of.

Ah, if only mowing the lawn were really that fast - all the days of my life I could have back :-)

So let me get this straight - the reason to shoot 1fps via framerate adjustment rather than using the Interval function would be to record sound?
 
No, the reason to shoot 1fps via framerate function is to get the 1/2-second exposure time. You can't do that with the FireStore or through the intervalometer.

Shooting 2fps @ 350-degree shutter, and playing back at 200% speed, gives a direct simulation of having shot 1fps @ 175-degree shutter.

I'm not shooting via framerate adjustment. I'm shooting a native 1fps file. I use the time lapse function of the FS-100, which is way more flexible than the HVX's time lapse function. I set it to record 1fps. So, what you see in that clip, is exactly how it was recorded, 1fps, you're seeing 1fps of time played back nativley in a 720p24 Sequence.

The HVX doesn't do it, the NLE doesn't do it, the FS-100 does it. It is in-camera, so to speak. Time lapse, 1 frame per second, that's what I recorded, that's what you see.

When the mower (and me) drive by the front of the screen, in front of that tree, go frame by frame. The distance I move from one frame to the next on playback, that's how far I moved in one second of real time during shooting.

It's an FS-100 thing...

3.0 IS FINALLY OUT!!!!!!
YEEEEHAAAWWWWW!!!!!!!
 
Actually the firestore 1fps timelapse is pretty cool, but like Barry says you have true control over the shutter speed with P2 to get the blur effect in camera (if that's what your after).
 
Luckily - thanks to the new firmware, and the rebate offer - once my 8GB card gets here I'll have the best of both worlds.

8GB of P2 when needed - and 4.5 hours of recording time to the FS-100.

:thumbsup:

Actually, the original trick posted does not get the blur "in-camera" but in post.

will the new firmware on the cineporter support PN recording or something?

The CinePorter would always support it. It's the new firmware on the FS-100 that adds pN-style recording (note, not pN mode, as you still have to put the HVX in 720p mode or else no data goes out the firewire port...) but the FS-100 throws away the duplicate frames and makes a recording that is the same way pN mode does.

Not sure what you mean. Shooting with the frame rate hack, at 2fps, with 350-degree shutter, creates the motion blur in-camera. That's what Timur was talking about.
