Chapter 3 Recording and Playback Undercranking effects This effect produces the quick motion often used for showing clouds drifting across the sky, crowds of people swarming past a solitary standing individual, a kung fu demonstration and other performances. For example, selecting a VFR recording frame rate of 12 fps when shooting at a 24P recording format yields a fast-motion effect of 2x normal speed. Standard setup for undercranking effects SYSTEM MODE 720-59.94P SYSTEM MODE setup Other settings REC FORMAT AVC-I 100/24PN (AVC-I 50/24PN) (DVCPRO HD/24PN) VFR ON FRAME RATE Set to 22 frames or less Recording frame rate 12 to 22 frames • With the menu option REC FORMAT set to DVCPRO HD/60P, you can use a nonlinear editing system to generate quick motion effects from the resulting footage. Overcranking effects Overcranking produces slow-motion playback, which is frequently used in climax scenes, or for dramatic effects like car chases and action scenes. For example, selecting a recording frame rate of 60 fps when shooting a 24P recording format yields a slow-motion effect that is 2.5 times normal speed. Shooting 720P progressive video will produce smooth and highquality slow-motion.
