Hi there, no, I haven’t noticed any difference in the smoothness of the playback in the timeline while editing , or in the playback of the rendered, final product. The smoothness of the playback in the timeline will totally depend on your computer system and how good it is. Thanks for the question!

I shoot with a Pentax K3 MKIII and use a 35mm 2.4 or a 50mm 1.8 for video primarily. Thanks for asking!

@@jwphotoworks great i want to buy that camera i already have pentax lenses, great video and great camera. I dont know if i want to change to other brand i like very much the pentax system.

It's a great camera for sure. Solid, well built, shoots in all the resolutions and frame rates I need, etc. I highly recommend it. Thanks!

Hi there, great question, here is the calculation list I use for "percentages". I use these "percentages" to change the clip back to playback in its original speed AFTER I've changed the frame rate to 24fps for slow motion. You'd need to do this if you want to speed ramp your footage. If you are just looking to change your footage from 120 or 60fps to 24fps, you can do that by just right clicking on the video clip thumbnail in the viewer, selecting "clip attributes" and changing it to 24fps in the "video frame rate" drop down menu. Hope this helps! 48/24=2 • 2 x 100 = 200% 60/24=2.5 • 2.5 x 100 = 250% 96/24=4 • 4 x 100 = 400% 120/24=5 • 5 x 100 = 500% 240/24=10 • 10 x 100 = 1000% 300/24=12.5 • 12.5 x 100 = 1250%

Good question! I usually don't include the audio with my slowed down, or speed ramped video clips, because the audio would be slowed down too, which sounds weird. I usually put music tracks to my clips, so the original audio from the clip, for my stuff at least, isn't important. BUT, if you do want to keep the audio track in your slowed down footage, if your clip is in your timeline, make sure you "un link" the audio track from the video track (right click on the timeline clip and at the bottom, click on the "link clips" option), and from there right click on the audio track, and select "new compound clip", name the clip something like "audio track", then right click on the audio track in the timeline, and select "change clip speed". In the box that pops up, change the % of the clip speed to match the % of what you slowed your footage down to. For example, if you change a 30fps clip to 24fps, that's 80%, so you'd change the audio clip speed to 80%. There you have it, slowed down audio to match your video clip. I might make a TH-cam tutorial for this, and if I do, I'll post the link to it here. Hope that helps.

@@jwphotoworks i found out that you don´t need to change clip attributes to other framerate for slow motion (like in premiere) you cab just "change clip speed" and davinci will use the available fps

You can double click on a clip in the media pool and it will open in the viewer, allowing you to then play it and/or scrub through it to set the IN and OUT points of the portion of the clip that you want to slow down. This is an important first step because it's also the step that you change the clip attributes(frame rate) of the clip from 30, 60, or 120, down to 24fps before you drag the portion you want to work with down to the timeline. Hope that helps, and thanks for the comment!

@@jwphotoworks Thank you

Thanks very much! Glad I could be of help. 😀

Yes, this is done using the free version of Resolve.

Your comment makes no sense to me, if you have 120 frames and you want them to read in super slow mo, then you will play 24 frames at the time, so a 1 second clip will now takes around 5s to play. There’s no jerky video from Resolve (surely not with the Studio version, never tried the free), also if you’re on a Apple Silicon Mac, you will get some acceleration to handle it so the video will be butter smooth (as long as your source is too). There’s no need to reduce a 120fps to 24fps, you simply just set how fast you want it to play it and then Resolve will play frames according to your speed selection. If you really want to use Slow Mo with Resolve, then you better get the Studio version to get the GPU acceleration. His problem you’re seeing here is due to his lack of power by not using Resolve Studio.

@@Spidouz thanks

Thanks for the reply. I was going to reply to the original comment this morning, but you've pretty much summed up what I was going to say! Yes, I could get better (faster) real time editing and rendering results by taking advantage of the GPU acceleration that the Studio version gives, but for the most part, I create proxies and generate optimized media as part of my workflow while working on projects. Not AS fast/good as utilizing my GPU, but good enough for what I need while editing. The end result is what I'm after. As far as changing the 120fps to 24fps in the timeline, well, I've done a whole other video on that as an alternative way to achieve this result. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/nwoye5Twl2k/w-d-xo.html

​@@jwphotoworksthanks for your answer, but wich one is the best technique between this video and the one you shared me ? Thanks for your reply by advanced

The video in this post is the best option. The "optional" one that i posted a link to in the response I posted, is another way of doing it, but it has more steps to do and takes longer.

24. 😀

You're most welcome, glad I could help!

No problem, glad I could help!

Thanks, it was my first time snapping photos and video at the Squamish stop of The Bowl Series. It's a cool little park. There's a fair bit of development going on around it, so it's a bit tight regarding where you can watch the action from. Not a lot of deck space. I had to get creative. ;)

This one is the SP AF 70-200mm F2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro lens. It's been around for a while and was finally discontinued a year or so ago. So far, for my needs it's proved to be a very capable lens. Hope that helps!

Thanks very much for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

Oh thank you!

Awesome question, and yes, you can do that, but there are more steps to the process to get the same end result. I was going to do a whole detailed response here, but I made a video showing the process you asked about and what it entails. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/nwoye5Twl2k/w-d-xo.html and if it suits your workflow, go for it! And thanks again for the question! 😃

Well, it's not the fastest focusing lens i own, but it's fast enough. I shoot mostly action sports with it, and it keeps up pretty well. It is great when my camera is set to Burst mode "medium", with "tracking priority" on, and catches pretty much all the shots. The camera body I have it on is a Pentax K3 Mark III.

Glad it helped!

If I am shooting in high burst mode, and have it in spot focus, then I may lose a few shots in that burst if I'm focusing on a face or number plate, or skate wheel. But other than that, it seems to do a pretty good job.

That's awesome! I've been really happy with it and have come away with some really great shots using it. Keep at it! 😀

You are correct! 😀

Ha! That’s ‘cause it is! Nice catch. Such a fun park.

Glad I could help.

I would recommend this lens to anyone in general. It's a great lens and is generally less expensive than the "big 3" version of the same focal length and speed. If you can pick one up with an EF-E adapter or F-E adapter, go for it. I will say though, it is a pretty heavy lens, so on a a6400, it might feel a bit unbalanced, unless you are tripod mounting it most of the time. Handheld can get a bit tiring after a while! Maybe pop into your local camera shop and try a Sony 70-200 on your camera body to get an idea of the size and weight of this sort of lens to help make your decision. Hope that helps!

Hey there, thanks for the comment. The Lilliput monitor I use has a threaded 1/4 20 hole in both the bottom and side, so the monitor mount threads into the monitor. The top handle from SmallRig that I use has a locking pin in the place where the monitor mounts to, so the monitor mount won't slide out if it's not tightened down to the top handle. Hope that answers your questions.

Thanks for the feedback, glad it was helpful. It's a great lens, and if you can find one on sale, go for it. 😃

Thanks very much. Any image or video that has a recognizable person it gets uploaded as “editorial” photos or footage and has strict guidelines for that sort of content, and therefore doesn’t need a signed model release. It can only be sold by the stock agency as editorial if uploaded as such. Hope that answers your question!

@@jwphotoworks But as far as I know, the editorial is royalty free. Where is the income here? Or I misunderstood something?

You still get paid by the stock agency/site when it gets sold. Same amount as non editorial. The buyer can only use it as editorial though. Most of my editorial photos and footage are sports event related.

@@jwphotoworks Oooo... Thank you so much for information

Hi Tim, thanks for the comment. Most of the events and genres of sports that I shoot don't require credentials as they are usually free to attend and open to the public. There have been a few events where the organizers issue credentials for a select few photographers to get "inside the tape", but for the most part, they are not required for the sports I shoot, mainly cycling and skateboarding. It's best to check with the organizers before hand to see if it cool to show up and shoot. For cycling events, it's usually not a problem, as there is tons of space (the side of a mountain!) to work in, but for skateboarding events, there is less space to work in and around, so it's best to check with the organizers to make sure you're not going to get in the way. When I select images and videos that will go up on my Stock portfolios (shutterstock, Pond5, Adobe Stock, etc), they are always submitted as "editorial" content, thereby negating (for the most part) the need for releases and credentials. Hop that helps!

Thanks very much! Yeah, I’m pretty impressed with it so far. The monitor I’m using is a Lilliput A5 5 inch monitor. Picked it up off Amazon a year or so ago. It’s pretty good, but I did need to put an anti glare screen protector on it cause it’s pretty reflective outdoors.

Watched today with more detailed. Nationals next week and this is already part of my race preparation. Mainly "shoot# motorsports and water type e.g. surf and I am facing a new challenge!!! Thank You for putting this together. Is indeed of a great help. Like and sbs. Cheers

Thanks very much, Happy to help!
