Undercranking effects

This effect produces the quick motion often used for showing clouds drifting across the sky, crowds of people swarming

past a solitary standing individual, a kung fu demonstration and other performances. For example, selecting a VFR recording frame rate of 12 fps when shooting at a 24P recording format yields a fast-motion effect of approx. 2x normal speed. The same effect can be obtained at a 30P recording and a 25P recording.

•With the menu option REC FORMAT set to DVCPRO HD/60P (50P), you can use a nonlinear editing system to generate quick motion effects from the resulting footage.

Overcranking effects

Overcranking produces slow-motion playback, which is frequently used in climax scenes, or for dramatic effects like car chases and action scenes. For example, selecting a recording frame rate of 60 fps when shooting a 24P recording format yields a slow-motion effect that is 2.5 times normal speed. Shooting 720P progressive video will produce smooth and high- quality slow-motion. The same effect can be obtained at a 30P recording and a 25P recording.
