flr169 0 #1 March 6, 2013 Any insight would be appreciated from all you experienced peeps... :) Hero 2 on 720p 60fps setting... Did a bunch of small vids at this setting of the kids doing some jumping at the sliding hill... I'm playing around with Cineform experimenting... Once I cut all the stuff out except for the jump and landing... I'm leaving source at (1280x720) frame rate change from 60 to 15 file format avi quality high then OK Then I'm adding clip to conversion list then I double check the settings then I convert it once done start step 2 (edit) I adjusted the white balance then I click on EXPORT mp4 Once it has exported and then I watch it.. for some reason about an extra 6 secs gets added on Can anyone tell me why this is...

DSE 5 #2 March 6, 2013 Man,...you have some weird problems.First, why are you setting 60 to 15fps? Second, why are you going to AVI before MPEG4? You're getting two compressions, and it's quite possible the frame interpolation is misreading and giving you the extra. If you're making the AVI anyway, do you get the same additional 6 seconds when you put the AVI into Vegas and render there? Your GoPro clips on the ice play perfectly at full frame rate; your machine may be a culprit. Also, are you running antivirus while doing any of your editing/decoding?

flr169 0 #3 March 6, 2013 QuoteMan,...you have some weird problems. Where to start...I recorded a bunch of small vids at 720p x 60fps so that I could maybe play around with some slow motion.... Since my skills are lacking in any software...I found cineform to be a bit easier for now... As for my settings above I was just messing around with different final FPS... To answer the AVI question it won't let me pick anything else..other choice is (mov) but I can't pick that... As you are probably aware the next stage is to add the clip to the conversion list.... All I did there was adjust the white balance... Now the only thing it will let me do is EXPORT to mp4 So when I send it to convert ...I get an AVI file Then when i goto export I get a MP4 file Both files play the slow mo clip longer than it should..approx. 6-10 secs more As for my computer its probably a bit on the slow side... I installed my movie studio software on a friends 8core PC with 2gig vid card and 16gig or ram and I had same problems on his PC as my laptop... My brother was in visiting a few weeks ago from Vancouver and we installed the latest sony movie studio trial software and the problems I told you about with my laptop happened on his also...he has a quad core 2.4 plus a good video card and 8 gig of ram... I'm sure its probably operator error over HERE.. LOL It definitely frustrating especially all the time I spend and have nothing decent to show for my time :( I'll keep plugging away and reading and one day it will all come together...

DSE 5 #4 March 6, 2013 make sure your settings are like the ones in this image. Just played this on an ancient VAIO (800Mhz) laptop. The file is good/plays fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #5 March 6, 2013 if the source is p60, then the settings should look like this: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #8 March 7, 2013 in the "Field Order" dropdown, change it to "none/progressive. Drag the preview window out of the dock, double click the "header" (the top of the preview window box). Preview will resize to optimal for your file. Don't 'Pause" antivirus, shut it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flr169 0 #9 March 7, 2013 Anti Virus completely off ... "field order" was at "none/progressive" already I dragged the preview window out of the dock and then double clicked the header...window changed to 960x540x32...window still out I played the video and still choppy Put the preview window back in and the size changes to 480x270x32 and plays choppy :(Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting - "fcuk me what a ride!"

DSE 5 #10 March 7, 2013 preview setting is at Preview/Auto? What else is running in the background? Are you playing from the stick or the HDD? On my MacBook Pro 1.8Ghz machine, running Bootcamp, I'm getting full framerate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flr169 0 #11 March 8, 2013 Preview setting = preview / auto.. Yes All files are on hdd and or portable drive Main drive is fairly full not much room on it I'll check in task manager and see if it'll show me how much ram is being used... By the way thanks for all your time and help.Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting - "fcuk me what a ride!"

flr169 0 #12 March 9, 2013 So I cleaned out everything from my hard drive ... There is 45gig free space now... Went thru varies system tools and deleted all unnecasary stuff and ran hard drive analyzer only 1% fragmented...never ran it... shut anti-virus off nothing extra running... Fired up movie studio loaded a small mp4 file and ran it. choppy and more choppy. Fired up task manager and clicked on the performance tab... memory was running around 30% and the cpu was running around 60% and then into the 80's and even the 90's..... not consistently thou... So i guess this isn't so good... What do you think...Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting - "fcuk me what a ride!"
