Experimenting in my backyard again; this time with a telescope mount to allow for slow camera movement (the famous MiLapse head.) The sequence was shoot with a Canon 7D to RAW .CR2 files. 13s exposure every 15s. 10mm lens at F4.5. ISO 1250. The CR2 files were batch converted to CineForm RAW (as fast as the CompactFlash would read.) I did a direct conversion form the flash media to local drive with this shell command. DPX2CF J:\DCIM\100EOS7D\*.CR2 e:\pantiltHD.avi -q4 The results are a real-time playable AVI with resolution 5184 x 3456. This was loaded into CineForm FirstLight for color correction only (last test here http://vimeo.com/17649738, did the motion in FirstLight.) This was then loaded into VirtualDub for scaling to 1920x1080. I use CS5 Adobe Media Encode to produce the 1080p mp4 upload. Source 747 frames CR2 frame using 16GB. Compressed to a single CineForm RAW AVI at 4.7GB Scaled to a HD CineForm 422 AVI at 960MB Compressed to 20Mb/s H.264 at 66MB Displayed on Vimeo at xMb/s??? Thanks to Selcuk Can Guven (@scguven) for the music.
