Video requires editing, sequences must match colour, sound, all sorts of things make it a much more technical process. Yes, some things are done under the hood but I'd never expect to do much if any processing on what what comes out of the camera. i don't sharpen or adjust levels and all that because that simply means I remove those choices from buyers. I understand what you are saying Scott but I don't these days use PS, I use Lightroom and just export as necessary. I'm not a video man, it's just a way of marrying my words to some visuals, no art involved. The majority of video I do is for my Youtube channel where I earn a bit of a living by just setting avchd and letting it roll. Richard_g, yes I agree, I'm using a gh3 stills camera and probably expecting too much. I also find that without a still component in the frame, movement has no context and the video lacks perspective and 'involvement'.ĭoes anyone have experience of this? The bars are moving side to side and shaking, the scenery is streaking past - anything is bound to be a compromise but where might the best balance be? I use the body racket because if the camera is mounted on the bike it is simply subjected to shattering vibration but also because it is hard to get the handlebars in frame, without which there is nothing to say 'shot from a cycle'. The result I have is a little too fluid, however! I want to keep fluid motion as I find speeded up results at higher shutter speeds too 'jittery' looking. Using my GH3 Panasonic and a home made body mount bracket, I used 1920x1080 jpg stills, one fps, half a second shutter speed.

Cycling round the park today, I thought I'd try a time lapse sequence to bring a half hour or so ride down to 1 minute or thereabouts.
