Chapter RecordingandPlaybackUndercranking effectsThis effect produces the quick motion often used for showing clouds drifting across the sky, crowds of people swarmingpast a solitary standing individual, a kung fu demonstration and other performances. For example, selecting a VFRrecording frame rate of 12 fps when shooting at a 25P recording format yields a fast-motion effect of approx. 2x normalspeed. The same effect can be obtained at a 24P recording and a 30P recording.Standard setup for undercranking effectsSYETEM MODE settings Recording frame rateSYSTEM MODE Other settings720-50PREC FORMATAVC-I 100/25PN(AVC-I 50/25PN)(DVCPROHD/25PN) 12 to 24 framesVFR ONFRAME RATE Set to 24FRAME or lower• With the menu option REC FORMAT set to DVCPRO HD/50P (60P), you can use a nonlinear editing system to generatequick motion effects from the resulting footage.Overcranking effectsOvercranking produces slow-motion playback, which is frequently used in climax scenes, or for dramatic effects like carchases and action scenes. For example, selecting a recording frame rate of 50 fps when shooting a 25P recording formatyields a slow-motion effect that is 2 times normal speed. Shooting 720P progressive video will produce smooth and high-quality slow-motion. The same effect can be obtained at a 24P recording and a 30P recording.Standard setup for overcranking effectsSYSTEM MODE setup Recording frame rateSYSTEM MODE Other settings720-50PREC FORMATAVC-I 100/25PN(AVC-I 50/25PN)(DVCPRO HD/25PN) 26 to 50 framesVFR ONFRAME RATE Set to 26 frames or more• With the menu option REC FORMAT set to DVCPRO HD/50P, you can use a nonlinear editing system to generate slowmotion effects from the resulting footage.
