Quick test: Noise on Nex-7 video
I tried to find out what the impact of the ISO on video on the Nex-7, so I cycled through with the lens cap on. The noise was not that visible so I tried to do what you usually try to avoid. I added brightness and sharpening.
Let me know, what you think. For me it prooves my experiences, that videos start get noisy with ISO bigger than 800.
Proof of concept: Compositing video in Motion 5
When the weather is not that good outside, what do you do? I decided to play around with a snippet of video and try out some compositing with video.
What did I try? I wanted a piece of text to move with something in the background and vanish behind a piece of foreground.
So what did I learn?
- Next time I use only stabilized imagery – the handheld footage is good enough for the poc (proof of concept).
- I have to work on the 3d-text effect, it still has its problems.
- I have to work on the synchronisation of the movement of background and foreground.
But enough talk – here is the video. I’ll be outside….
