Previous Week
I also shot video on the Kalalau trail which was really great apart from the rain that day but at least that caused some rainbows. Will try to post that next week.
Looks fun. I love Kauai. My buddy just bought a house there, so I can't wait to go back. The video looks great. You're using sony vegas to render right? What were your settings on the camera?
Typically I use Sony Vegas but when I cropped one scene I found Vegas again lost some sharpness. So I used this time Tmpgenc Express.
I have settings faq here: lucienk.spaces.live.com/blog/cns%21A4AE3FB12A26635%211108.entry
I typically prefer these settings (and also used in all of these shots):
- 60i (since I prefer smooth motion over sharpness)
- Custom picture: contrast -1 (you can see in this video still some contrast clipping so at least it was reduced little bit)
For low-light I always switch and use 30p+cinemode. Exception when I want to get darker more contrasty picture. Then I use 30p+spotlight scene (great for Christmas lights and fireworks).
