Processing high-frame-rate footage

“

- Hi, my name's Rich Harrington. - And I'm Robbie Carman. - And welcome to this week's episode of Video Gear Weekly. Now we recently took a look at shooting with higher frame rate cameras, everything from 60 frames a second up to 240, and, Rob, while we explored minimal post production, there's some extra things you could do, right? - Oh, there's tons. I mean, we just did some basic, sort of interpretation of that footage, so sort of conform it from the higher frame rate, you know 120, 240, whatever it was, down to normal edit frame rate. In our case we used 23.976. That's a pretty easy process. We used Premiere Pro, but you could do that same thing in Final Cut or whatever tool you're using, but you're right. There's some more that we can do. We can use our NLE or our motion graphics application to do some further speed adjustment. A lot of people will do that. They might interpret it and slow it down even more, or sort of do a ramp on it, so it kind of goes from regular speed down to super slow-mo. We could also do things like get rid of flicker that happens when we have really high-speed shots, so there's a lot of additional things that we can do. - [Rich] Yeah, if you didn't catch that episode where we took a look at the high frame rate footage, what you're seeing here is a lot of flicker, and this is primarily tied to things like the fluorescent lights. When you have lighting conditions and the lights are cycling, this can lead to a lot of things that cause problems in the shots, so we're going to explore a piece of technology that could be used to fix this. All right, we got a lot of things to tackle in this week's episode. Let's jump right into some post production.
