More important for Canon and Nikon h264 sources really.īanding can occur due to poor encoding like GH2 and/or wrong levels handling in playback. Here's a test file for making sure VLC is set up for levels handling:

#5DTORGB GH2 FOR MAC#

Not sure what's available for mac but VLC should do the job, or Media Player Classic.

What is a better way to go about posting accurate screen grabs? I'm still playing with FCPX, but the more i do, the more i like it & will probably dump FCP7 for DSLR footage completely. The Solution: I am trying out the free 30 day trial of FCPX & guess what? No banding at all! I tried all the shots that had banding in FCP7 & in FCPX the banding was not present at all, just lovely clear footage like i knew i'd shot! I thought that this had solved the banding problem, but it was still noticeable on some shots - mostly white or off-white backgrounds.įor screen grabs use MPEGStreamclip (its free & widely used by editors) & that goes double for converting any footage that comes out of FCP (you just use the simple export setting, NOT export to QT) - QT is a nice toy, but that's all it is! I started to use the DPX file output option on 5DtoRGB - huge files, but amazing quality.

(As yellow said you must keep to the right Decoding Matrix & Luminance range) I had a banding problem with my 60D, just on some shots & it really started to annoy me. The only downsides are that the files are about twice as large as good old ProRes 422, and it takes MUCH longer than FCP7's log and transfer window. For best results, I recommend viewing them in rapid succession in a program like Preview like this: To see for yourself, you can go to my photo album on this site ( ) and download the screen grabs. Here are the settings:Īndrew has posted about using these settings (or with ProRes 422 at least) to preserve color information, but it seems to have an effect on banding as well. But somewhat unsurprisingly, ProRes 4444 / Full Range / ITU-R BT.601 seems to be a significant improvement. Then I used 5DtoRGB to process the same problem clip and exported every possible combination to see if there was a magical setting that would stop color banding altogether. Today, I used FCP7's log and transfer to import a single clip with banding issues. The Flowmotion hack (v2.02) minimizes banding as well or better than any hack I have tried, but I still get unusable shots from time to time.

Can anyone explain how to do this? I hope I am stuck not being able to return to the original firmware.My crusade against color banding on the GH2 continues. I also incremented it to V12 in the hope it would recognise a more recent firmware - but it doesn't. I put the firmware V11 bin file back on a newly formatted SD card - but the camera isn't interested in it. I also now want to return to original firmware - but this is proving very difficult. I tried another clip and clip wrap crashed. I played the original mts file in VLC player and it is fine. (I also tried to import the test directly into final cut pro - to transcode to pro res, but it only seems to recognise it as AVCHD and converts them interlaced - I had thought the files would be AVC INTRA.

I had trouble though when transcoding - I transcoded it through 'Clip Wrap' to Pro Res - but on playback of the Pro Res file the movie stalled with a frozen frame near the end of a 5 min clip - the clip kept playing, but only with a frozen frame.

I just installed this patch - and recorded a test sequence. Hello, a couple of problems I could do with help on:
