Shooting at 1/4 & 1/8 for timelapses.. correct +% speed-ups for 180º shutter rule???
I now have a 5N and it is great as it shoots slower than 360º and slower than 1/30th (like canons). It goes all the way down to 1/4th like other expensive video cameras. I try to search and look it up, but theres not n=much on this subject - shooting timelapses without intervalometer (for quick set-ups when one doesn't want to set up an intervalometer) and setting the exposure-shutter to 1/4th or 1/8th.
I am experimenting as we speak, but my eyes is kinda having a hard time picking which is the correct speed-up % in FCP to gain the closest to 180º shutter/interval blurs.
I've seen a very few videos doing 1/4 and 1/8 shutter timelapses.
I also calculated 2 possiblities:
1/4 shutter
(a) 1/4th shutter = 6 identical frames on a fcp 24p timeline… 24p/6 = 4fps
or
(b) 1/4th = 2fps with 180º shutter-blur-rule
conform/speed-up on 24p timeline with the closest to a 180º rule:
(a) 24p/4fps = +600%
or
(b)24p/2fps = +1200%
1/8 shutter:
(a) 1/8th shutter = 3 identical frames on a fcp 24p timeline… 24p/3 = 8fps
or
(b) 1/8th = 4fps at 180º shutter-blur-rule
conform/speed-up on 24p timeline with the closest to a 180º rule:
(a) 24p/8fps = +300%
or
(b) 24p/4fps = +600%
So which is the more accurate and more better/ideal method? A or B?
A - timlapse based the fps and number of frames captured
B - timelapse based on 180º and primarily on the image blur and shutter speed
...I would think and guess the correct answer is B, correct? ...since the image itself has a "1/4" or "1/8" exposure blur and when conforming and speeding up in FCP(or any other timeline), then speeding it up will eventually "cut" and delete frames out anyways, yeah?
