Time-lapse shot with 6mbits/s

[pailes]

Hi,

this is a little time-lapse test recorded with the lowest quality 1080i mode.
I love how this mode can store over 300 minutes on a single 16gb SDHC card :thumbup:

Now even with link:

hahahaha, it also happens a lot to me, I focus on writing the explanation and then I forget about the link.........

nice! looks good

Thanks for the link.
Nice clip.

One question: IMHO the picture flow has small steps in it.
Is there a reason for that or does it appear in vimeo only?

I think it's because Vimeo plays all HD content at 24fps. Initially I deinterlaced the footage from 1080i to 720p to work at 50 fps (PAL) which looked pretty awesome and super-smooth.

Here is some footage with original frame rate: http://peter.nxbone.net/timelapse.mov

Smooth

Wow that looks totally awesome!!

Interesting idea. I never considered using the 6Mbps mode for time-lapse.

My guess is that a single 4GB file (FAT 32 limit) would cover about 89 minutes; is that what you have found?

I think that's around the time recorded. Toast 9 shows 1h40min, maybe the 6mbits/s is just an average.

Surely the camera can record past 4GB though, am I missing something?

 

[BobDiaz]

Oh yes, the camera can go way beyond the 4GB in a second file, third file, ...

I was talking about how much time would fit on a single file, the maximum size.

According to the manual, the camera will stop recording after 12 continuous hours regardless of media size, also any card has a maximum clip index of 999 files - I think the only time that will become a problem is when we're shooting on 128GB SDHC cards

It shouldn't matter though, as the files get joined when logging and transferring?

I don't think this will be done. But I never tried myself.

Thanks for posting.

I thought the HMC-150 did not do time lapse?

Could you tell how you did this?

Record some hours and speed it up by 5000% :beer:
