GH5 vs GH4 Slow Motion Comparison

[@NickGalanti]

I like your confidence. To do that with all those people is awesome! Great comparison

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks Nick... sometimes not giving two fs is a a healthy attitude ;-)

[@beardhalffull]

Thanks so much for this! I just jumped into the GH4 recently and seeing the comparisons really put it into perspective.

[@chrisdavid2188]

This deserves an oscar!

[@MediaDivision]

Oh thank you my dear sir… maybe a tiny tiny tiny tiny one ;-)

[@jeevus74]

I have the same exact camera gear as yours. Saved me an experiment. Thank you for taking it for the team!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks man..... so you got an EVA1 and an MAVO LF, too 😝😜

[@kipkipful]

@@MediaDivision flexing on your subs

[@joosepkink]

You have great music, fun, talk and footage!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks man... this is quit old... I hope I got much better since :-)

[@sgalien6661]

Where was this filmed?

[@11ND11]

Such an amazing dance video 😅 thanks for this great comparsion

[@MediaDivision]

It's all in the hips........ thanks Andreas!

[@Freethejules]

Which ring light are you using in this video? Thanks mate - great video, cheers.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks Mr Bean ;-) .... it is this one... simple, cheap but OK you vlogging www.amazon.de/LED-Ringlicht-Kit-Fotografie-Beleuchtung-dimmbare-Aluminiumlegierung/dp/B015KDYB4W/

[@Freethejules]

lol thanks!

[@SunnyBear]

Great comparison, thanks for the dance!!

[@MediaDivision]

Cheers… I admit, there is no Fred Astair in me ;-)

[@biscuitsalive]

thanks for this... couple of things though, i recommend when you are uploading tests that are inspecting small quality differences, to youtube, then upload in 4K. then we have much less of a hit on the compression side. and we can go full screen and really see whats what at our end. (even if your just working in 1080) secondly, i don't think grading the shots helps us to identify the actual quality. sure it makes it look pretty, but we really want to see out of camera footage ideally. apart from that i enjoyed your vid. subbed. :) (p.s. i literally just uploaded a gh4 slo mo test comparison, thats why your vid showed in my feed... I decided 62VFR is the best option there. and i explain why.) (p.p.s. my gh5 arrives on tuesday, so i will be delving in deep and doing lots of testing to find the optimal settings for that camera next.)

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks for the input. In this case I decided to go 1080 as the Variable Frame Rate modes are all FullHD only. Upscaling can introduce it's own problems… all my other stuff is and will be in 4K. Cheers

[@biscuitsalive]

Media Division fair enough. But the bitrate is so much better in 4K I sometimes upload 4K for all 1080 products. Looks so much better.

[@HollowBox]

whats the app called that you used to slow it down even more, trickster?

[@MediaDivision]

Twixtor.... yes. But After Effects TimeWarp will give you about the same result. revisionfx.com/products/twixtor/

[@hakero42]

How did you set up the smoothness on GH4? 60FPS only? VFR? Or any option in postproduction?

[@MediaDivision]

I don't exactly know what you mean… I used GH4 up to 96fps (only possible in VFR). The 360 fps GH5 is post (of course). Hope that helps!

[@universaInformation]

no it's not only vfr,gh4 has also 1080p 60p with sound and it's slightly sharper then vfr mode.

[@bryce2607]

How did you do the effect at 8:56???? Love the video!!!!!!

[@MediaDivision]

wow.... thats an ooooold simple one (look at our new ones) but thanks. You just shoot from a tripod layer several scenes over each other where subject does not overlap, mask the top layer taking advantage of the image nature (like edges of houses etc.) to make the cuts less obvious. Retime layer at will (high framerates improves quality of slow motions... if you want to improve the quality of speed ramps, render artificial 180° motion blur with after effects (our tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ_VdKubdsR_a80)

[@manueljenkin95]

You're in vimeo as well. Great. Subbed both here and there. Congrats on the gh5. Waiting to see some awesome videos. Btw throwing your cap is not a scene I would advice using twixtor with (it can introduce artifacts). What lens do you use, is it the Panasonic Leica 12-60? How good is the image stabilization? And Any idea about the Autofocus issues some people are rambling about (I'm pretty sure gh5 is not meant to be used as a vlogging camera).

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks Manuel. Yes, Twixtor introduces articacts, just like any other optical flow time rewarp. I think it works for this bit well enought. Wouldn' t try that for a paid job... there you have no option then to get a cam that can go that fast. This was shot on the Pana 12-35 mk1. I don't like lenses slower than 2.8 and without constant aperture. I will post a really cool test next week (still working on it) with anamorphic. Auto Focus is not reliable enough... it sometimes works, sometimes not. The IS is very handy... looks great in almoust everything and even gives gimbal like (not quite as good) walks.

[@frankiedefi]

Highly underrated channel!!

[@MediaDivision]

Thank you Frankie.... very kind of you... write that in the sky please ;-)

[@davidvalens3337]

what is the name of the classical music you had in your video?

[@MediaDivision]

It's "The Blue Danube" from Johann Strauss. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Danube

[@erix43]

Great vid man. You're cool AF. Subscribed.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks Er C!

[@SorinGociu]

nice dance and music! but... in the future please edit using side by side or side after side. for example edit: GH4, scene 1, 50FPS / GH5, scene 1, 50FPS / Gh4, scene 2, 50FPS / Gh5, scene2, 50FPS, etc. etc.. the differences are more obvious this way. thank you!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks for the input, but sorry, I prefer to do it this way… you can't make it right for anybody anyway. But hey… why don't do what you just suggested in an own video.

[@AlexButler10]

Come on most magnificent channel on yt, grace us with more superior videos! 😋

[@MediaDivision]

cheers Alex… well this one would not be on my list of "superior" videos. You have to start somewhere though ;-)

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Lol... you are a symphony (GEEK) in motion @ 180 fps!!! That was informative and fun Nicky . Can't wait to see what will happen next :) Cheers

[@MediaDivision]

Dorks of the world unite ;-)))))) Thanks Richard

[@tims.2832]

Well worth watching. Thx

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks .... this is soooooo old. If you are a filmmaker by heart you should rather watch our new stuff... way more worth watching

[@anasalzayed]

Thank you 😉

[@MediaDivision]

my pleasure!

[@jasoninfo9094]

C'était une magnifique démonstration. Je ne sais pas quel appareil prendre pour le moment, mais une chose est sûre , votre technique et votre montage m'inspire beaucoup dans mon projet futur. Bonne continuation à vous. Amicalement de Paris

[@MediaDivision]

Thank you Jason… thats very kind. I'll try to keep up.

[@CrazyFunnyCats]

Whats res is the 120 and 180 fps ? 1080 p? Thanks 🤨🍩👍

[@MediaDivision]

Yes … of course

[@hwood310]

This was great! Canon you do more "how to" slo-mo vids with the GH4 because that's what I have :|

[@MediaDivision]

Thank you Gene… once you used slomo with GH5 you never go back to GH4. I have a hard time accepting GH5 after I shot on a RED ;-)… but anyways, a good story can be told with any cam.

[@deseanmayes6977]

great video! great spirit bro! I am getting the eva1 and hope you can show me how to do the slow motion to regular speed!!!!

[@MediaDivision]

Thank you Desean! Normal speed ramps… you find tutorials all over youtube. for this video I just masked out different clips and layered them. A bit of the subject is in this video from my channel. Shutter speed for speed ramps towards the end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ_VdKubdsR_a80

[@Brokengearsgaragunedited]

Liking and commenting just because of the amazing performance

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks... what can I say... I’m a dancer ;-)

[@MarcelTheG]

3:59 He's taking pictures of you! Promise

[@MediaDivision]

Where is my buy out ?!?!?? ;-)

[@MarkDecile]

Very fucking entertaining 😂

[@MediaDivision]

Thats the spirit ;-) Thanks man

[@chio5026]

How you think I can get the best out of my gh4 in slow motion 96 fps is not the sharp .

[@mileschizi]

which luts did you used ? nice grading

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks, it's no big deal at all. For the slomo parts I used "Brownie Man" from the Neumann Films LUT Pack. For the talkies I use a mix out of custom LUTs and FilmConvert.

[@ZanyJr]

I have the lumix gh4 How did you manage to get the camera to do slow motion but with higher quality? Settings I have is at: Rec Format - MP4(lpcm) Rec Quality - FHD | 100M | 60P I wanted to film in slowmotion by editing the videos into slower motion than actually having the video itself edited and slower... (basically my variable frame rate is off) In order to film in this quality... do I need to have the Variable Frame Rate on? Is there something I must change?

[@MediaDivision]

Hey… the GH4 maxes out at 4K 30fps but with variable frame rate activated and being in 1080p you can go up to 96 fps max. I use the MOV container but I don't kno if and how it realates to the ability of the cam to shoot high fps. Quality should be the same. If you can set up 96fps but you are not happy with the quality, it is most probably the lack of light. High fps need a ton of light… 4 times what you would need on 24fps and the line skipping gives it on other 50% hit… making it 8 times more light. You can set the shutter to be always open, that helps a bit. So, if you are filming a hallway without a 2K spot will give you bad results due to under exposure. Just use the sun as your natural 20K source. If you are really into slow motion, get the GH5s for 240fps with much higher ISO to compensate for reduced light.

[@ZanyJr]

I see... thank you! Also another question I can't seem to get the camera to autofocus when I turn on the variable frame rate... (majority the reason why I don't use vfr) I have been trying to film at convention with a steadicam, so I move a lot... usually I would want the camera to be easier to focus than having to adjust the lens... Is there any shortcut on this that you might know of?

[@MediaDivision]

As far as I know there is no auto focus during the high frame rates on GH4. Gh5 up to 60 4K. Anyhow… Autofocus on all Panasonic cams is suboptimal… you get just as many unusable shots as without AF, just for different reasons. Take it like a man and go manual. It works on the gimbal, too. Choose a higher stop (f4-f6) for deeper FOV and hold distance to point of interest. in between shots, adjust (you can focus manually while camera is on gimbal…… just not within one shot). It works very well and I do it all the time. You just can't do very specific shot and to be honest… your audience doesn't care if it is a seamless take or a nice cut.

[@DimaBunin]

Thanks a lot for this comparison! unusual perspective and very unique point of view. Like and Sub!

[@MediaDivision]

Cheers Dmitry… most appreciated ;-)

[@hakero42]

How i can record video on slowmotion (GH4) and next play on normal speed? 8:46

[@MediaDivision]

I don't really get your question? You can shoot at any frame rate and then conform the frame rate to your time line frame rate. Or do you mean several different speeds in one frame? The time line framerate remains the same. Take two (or more) clips with fixed camera/light and ramp each like you want (the higher the origianls fps the better the result). Put both clips over each other in NLE. Mask the upper clip in a way, that will not show an obvious mask path (if possible). If nessesary, yo can animate the mask path with changing content of the clips. This is a "quick and dirty" version of how to do it. You will get better results with After effects and some shape trackers like mocha… but that is a science in it self.

[@jonnham]

Anybody know the song at the begining and end?

[@MediaDivision]

Sure I do… artlist.io/?search=pages-turn

Genial, voy a tratar de usarlo a menudo.

[@ALASKASCHOICEMUSICVIDEOS]

great video by the way thanks!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks Alaska!

[@ALASKASCHOICEMUSICVIDEOS]

did you slow down the video by 50percent or 40 ?

[@MediaDivision]

You mean the Twixtor part towards the end? 50%... You should alway double or halve framerates (if possible)... everything else can introduce wonky stuff :-)

[@ALASKASCHOICEMUSICVIDEOS]

ok i got confused for a sec i forgot vfr video is already in slowmo, I was saying when you film video in regular 60fps the video is normal then you get to choose what percentage of speed you want to slow it down.

[@MediaDivision]

If you have footage with 60fps, I wouldn't conform it by slowing %. Just conform it with "interpreting media" (or whatever your NLE calls it) by changing the new framerate to play with. No math, no errors.

[@s.e.productions6882]

Man I would love to see how you did that effect at the end. I was perfect. When you start you new channel let me know and I will subscribe. I just subscribed to this one today. Thanks for the content... very useful.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks mate. I apprecheate every subscriber :-) !What effect are you wondering about??? The several different speeds in one frame? The time line framerate remains the same. Take two (or more) clips with fixed camera/light and ramp each like you want (the higher the origianls fps the better the result). Put both clips over each other in NLE. Mask the upper clip in a way, that will not show an obvious mask path (if possible). If nessesary, you can animate the mask path along the changing content of the clips. This is a "quick and dirty" version of how to do it. You will get better results with After effects and some shape trackers like mocha… but that is a science in it self.

[@s.e.productions6882]

The part that started at 8:50 is astonishing... that effect is what I was referring to. I think I understand the concept behind the effect, since you explained it in your reply. Thanks for your tips. I can definitely see you becoming a director or even working with some directors in the near future. Keep up the good work. I have to give credit where credit is due.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks S.E. ... very kind words. I'm living already for it (in parts). Enjoy some of my films on my channel here or on vimeo vimeo.com/nikolasmoldenhauer

[@iDealMedley]

there's quite a significant different in terms of picture quality

[@MediaDivision]

indeed!

[@Manuelkanza]

HAHHAHAHAHAHA🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 YOU JUMPING , SO FUNNY HAHAH.... wiiiiiiiii ... wooooopiiiiiiiiiiii

[@carlosescobar4653]

Nice video sample in slow motion.

[@MediaDivision]

thank you Carlos

[@b3naqua]

Well done mister man 👍

[@MediaDivision]

Thank you Aqua Man :-)

[@FilmedByMiguel]

This was such a cool video!!

[@MediaDivision]

Thank you Miguel

[@davemotionpicture]

what kind of luts do you used on this nice shoot???

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks... for the test shots I used a LUT called "brownie man" that you can get from Neumann Film. It is part of the GH5-launch kit. neumannfilms.net/?product=lumix-gh5-luts

[@MediaDivision]

The scenes inside are a more complex mix of the same grade, filmconvert and the use of an anamorphic adapter.

[@B_T_B]

Looks at bin.. puts Nikon camera in there.

[@benjaminespuche9734]

You look so clever at 3:29

[@MediaDivision]

I do!

[@billpolitis2831]

EPIC!

[@MediaDivision]

thanks Bill... is you find these epic... watch our newer ones.... they are way more epic!

[@gabrielalamberti5860]

96fps on gh4 is not bad, it's usable even today. I don like 180 fps on gh5 (not usable).

[@MediaDivision]

Usable is relative. In a pro production... mostly. 180fps GH5 clearly has more detail and a cleaner overall image then the GH4 96fps.

[@CrexTV]

180fps are impressive

[@MediaDivision]

Yes… I think so, too

[@andreasdahl717]

Dork cam made me press like :D

[@MediaDivision]

;-) thanks Andreas! Dorks of the world unite

[@carlosescobar4653]

The Gh4 color is more rich and a bit dark. The Gh5 colors are more shape and a bit loss real colors. Well theres not a perfect cameras.

[@MediaDivision]

Hey Carlos... this is not really about the colors... as I said, the light was changing a lot between scenes, I used a Vari ND, and there is a heavy grade on this. In general the GH5 produces richer colors than the GH4

[@deepcool0922]

this so fun to watch.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot Jason!

[@deepcool0922]

[@MediaDivision]

welcome Jason… hope you'll enjoy ;-)

[@RvonA]

hamburg meine perle

[@MediaDivision]

Moin!

[@RvonA]

ist da eigtl sound bei 180fps oder is es wie bei der gh4 bei 96spf no sound =/?

[@Obergeniesser]

gibt keinen sound, da sonst die bitrate noch mehr leiden müsste

[@MediaDivision]

Nope... aber sound würde ja auch nur sehr eingeschrenkten Sinn machen. Extrener Recorder oder B-Cam für den Sound nutzen.
