Go Pro 3 Black Pro Tune files - render settings

MattAdamson wrote on 12/22/2012, 3:21 PM

Hi

I've just purchased a go pro 3 black edition and back from a recent ski trip. I shot the source footage using the 1080p 60fps mode however I also enabled pro tune mode. This has the effect that the files are approximately 45 Mbps. I was wondering given this very high bit rate what the optimum render settings would be to preserve as much quality as possible from the target output.

I'd like to play the files back on my PS3 or standard blu ray player. Would this be the standard blue ray 60i 25Mbps format? Wouldn't a 60p rather than 60i format be better? Also by using 25Mbps rather than one around 45 Mbps wouldn't I be sacrificing some image quality by compressing more? I don't mind take the same disk space as the source footage I just don't want to lose any quality at all.

Appreciate your thoughts

Thanks

Matt

Wonderful. Outdoors on a tripod works best. Also a companion non-Protune cllip if you can. 15 sec is plenty. No RAW wb or cinema,etc.

OK, outdoors on a tripod, Australian countryside on an overcast day. Shot in 2.7K 24fps, both Protune and with Protune off. About 10 seconds of each. It is actually moving footage, although there is no wind to give it away.

This is with Protune: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o473g9f2iics4ic/Protune%20clip.MP4?dl=0

And this is without Protune: https://www.dropbox.com/s/djews99xgmj4rke/Non-Protune%20Clip.MP4?dl=0

Sounds delicious, but sadly I am not allowed to drink anymore....

Of dear, that is really sad for the both of us, particularly as I like my beer.

in which case my home grown should bring a smile to your face ;-)

Hah, the loss of beer as a food group is still hard to bear. I always maintained the three most important food groups were Beer, Chocolate and KFC.

I once knew an editor who used to run on a fuel of Chicos and Coca Cola. For those who don't know, Chicos are little men shaped brown jubes.

And on that subject, our new State Premier is looking at legalising weed for medical purposes.

Rather than Giggling Eagle, my hero might be Piddling Percy :-)
