Very Very Nice!!

awesome!

Nice work. You're probably going to want to move this over to the Made With FCPX Forum

www.fcp.co/forum/13-made-with-final-cut-pro

Or one of the moderators here might do that for you.

You've certainly mastered Twixtor, this could be marketed as their demo reel also. Excellent use of music & speed ramping, powerful & engaging.

More info on your gear & settings might be helpful for folks here. Which lenses do you run on your FS700, & with all the variables your camera is capable of, frame rates & other settings before Twixtor, would be much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing.

no problemo!!! how do i move a thread?

You can't. The moderator will take care of that.

well put :woohoo:

Let's talk more on your stellar work here. How about those settings & gear info?

thanks

yeah sure

Edited 100% in FCPX
alot of ramp speed using Plug-in Twixtor
Most of my 5D3 footage is 24p and fs700 is 240@1080 and 24p
FCPX is a gr8t tool if you are smart and you out of the box editor,
i meet couple of bug some times with fcpx but always find a way to fix it

Example : some times some green or pink frame appear in your edit.
simple and fast solution i found is to duplicate the sequence and put the duplicate sequence over the original and remove 1% opacity from the duplicate one. the green or pink frame will remove... sorry for my bad english, Im French!



Thanks for Watching, if you have any question, feel free to ask!!

Well then your video really is a great promo for Twixtor, if it can make slowmo that clear when shot at 24p. Still looking into the FS700's high speed capabilities, it appears you can only record 8 seconds at 24p with 240fps according to this page

We've had a few mentions of Rokinon lenses here, they seem to be a good value.
Haven't encountered the pink or green frame problem yet, is that with Twixtor?
So you remove 1% opacity from the top copy?

thanks

That's very slick

rokinon are absolutly impressive for the price, im the kind of videographer who always want the clearest and sharpess lens and rokinon reach my wants.

all the twixtor ramp speed was made 90% with fs700 footage and 10% with 24p 5d3 footage,
as you probably know, twixtor is a powerfull tool, but with limits, so when you use it, make sure
your shot contain a lot of dept of field and a clear background. then its cool!

yeah the fs700 is a gr8t camera, the best way to get the perfect moment in 8 seconds slowmotion is to shoot end trigger : so you point your camera in direction of the action you want and you wait till you see something cool, then you press rec, and the camera will take the 8 last seconds , so you can kind of decided when you want your slow motion

Interesting... & complicated, hehe. I can't wait for this technology to develop further. Imagine a reasonably priced full frame camera, able to switch frame rates up into super highspeed, on the fly, while shooting, for when that perfect slowmo opportunity arrives unexpectedly.

I also love the idea of a buffer so the camera is actually always recording the previous 5 seconds before you click record.

The other day while at the concert I commented on in my T3i screed , I missed a shot that was immediately gorgeous then instantly gone...

You mean like my older P2 cameras did, the Firestore FS series did that, I think the Ninja and Samuri do that. All they need to do is install a large enough buffer into a DSLR and it could do that, too.

But I'd rather see DSLR's improve audio recording abilities first. With the technology of today, having to use a separate audio recorder on a digital video device is simply nonsense. IMHO...

But if they added to pre-record buffer and acceptable audio, I'm sure the prices would skyrocket.
