Hi Caleb, I am so happy that I found you over KZbin. I am into freelancing video production from India, I have been watching your videos even before getting my GH5 an year ago to till now. Your contents are really valuable for video makers like me. I recently shoot a Peacock SLOMO video in my gh5 following your instructions & I uploaded over KZbin and you know what its BOOM, all my friends family people really loved watching it over and over again. Your ideas are really awesome, keep rocking Caleb. With love, Lagesh Media

[@danasummons3438]

Great vid! I've noticed that high frame rates work best when you have plenty of GOOD and consistent lighting, or you'll have to switch to a slower shutter speed.

[@CalebHoover]

yeah you definitely want good lighting! thanks for the tip!

Hi Caleb, I have one question, how do I make the camera autofocus when I turn a slow motion?

[@ezelinkmedia7228]

[@laaannder7698]

What about doing speed ramps in post? Is that still possible when using VFR?

[@iSpike]

[@iSpike]

Great Video Caleb, I want: ZEAPON MICRO 2 MOTORISED SLIDER 👍🏻

[@CalebHoover]

great little tool

[@librehastademi3812]

@Calebhoover. you can make a video how to record 120 slow motion in 4k on gh6?

[@fangshizhu9383]

VFR is an awesome feature, especially for cameras without I.S. such as GH4. That SloMo really helps to smooth out any hand gitter. However, the low data rate on the 8-bit GH4 under GH4 really requires you to exposure correctly since you don't have too much room to push the exposure and color when using V-Log L. With 10-bit and awesome I.S. in GH5, this feature is fantastic. I found most of the time, I do not need the gimbal anymore. Even 2 sec 60 fps/120fps clip will extend to a 5 ~ 10 sec 24 fps very smooth video, which is more than enough to make a cut shot. Oh, and combined with shutter angle feature in Panasonic GH5, it really saves you time to calculate the change the shutter speed whenever you change FPS. Great great feature.

[@CalebHoover]

i totally agree with you on this! i've almost eliminated a gimbal from my workflow with the gh5

[@Mechrank]

Any idea how to do speed ramps on a footage that is already been slowed in the camera?

[@MoneyMeris]

Is there a way you can change a recorded slow mo vid to a regular vid on gh5 cause when you record in the slow mo it has another time next to that shorter time in the gallery

[@ankera7460]

nice.. do you think VFR will work on GH6 @ 5.7K for Slow.Motion in camera?

[@jawaring4367]

It's a shame that the slow motion conversion is handled automatically in the camera. I'd rather have the choice to use it how I wanted. The panasonic cameras have some obvious problems with aliasing at the higher frame rates.

[@tubehead101]

Hi there, I know you posted this video a while back, but I hope you might be able to help with my GH5 variable frame rate issue. I'm following your very clear instructions, but it's not working entirely the same way for me. I want to make C1 set at 120fps so that I just go to C1 and it's set, but when I switch from the Movie option on the dial to C1 and go to menu, there is no longer the Creative Video option in the menu and so I can't go there to set frame rate. So how do I set the frame rate on C1? Further, when set to the movie option on the dial, I have made Fn1 button set to be Variable Frame Rate, but when I press it, nothing happens. In C1 option I am set to Full HD 8bit 100M 60p. In movie, I am set to 4k 8bit 100M 30p. In both cases, shooting MP4 LPCM. Hope you can help. Thank you.

[@fkylw]

I see a lot of these videos where everyone says VFR is how they "always" shoot. So my question is this: They only shoot non-normal video? (normal= normal motion, not fast or slow or hyper). Is that true? I can't find a guide that doesn't say they only shoot in VFR so is it edited in post after? Or how do people get normal talking videos (like this one)?

[@MedTherapySpa]

So, I can't find a video or online article about 3 questions I have which I'm hoping maybe you can help me with which you discuss briefly. maybe I didn't understand but here goes. Question 1: I record a video with my GH5M2 with a [Recorded frame rate: 59.94] and [Variable frame rate of 120] giving me a 50% slow effect. When I'm using my editing platform does the Timeline frame rate need to be 59.94 or 120? Question 2: If the answer to question 1 is to use the recorded frame rate rather than variable frame rate then how does using different recorded frame rates effect my variable frame rate? Is it that the editing platform tries to fit 120 variable frames in 59.94 recorded frames? Question 3: Let's say I keep my 120 variable frame rate, but I switch the recorded frame rate down to 29.97 instead of the 59.94 recorded frame rate. This decreases the slow effect to 25% instead of 50% which is possible on the GH5 and GH5M2. =========This makes the slow effect appear even slower on the 29.97 recorded frame rate, though it seems to appear with more motion blur but it's hard to tell. It leaves me confused because if I am setting the device to record 120 frames per second using the variable frame rate, I'd think that no matter what the recording frame rate is set to; it should still be recording 120 frames per second. thus, still giving same amount slowness speed. (Which is obviously not the case) ==========In Conclusion: The correlation between Variable frame rate and Recorded frame rate has a lot to do when deciding the different Rec Quality formats that have the option on the bottom displayed (VFR available) within the GH5/GH5M2 which I don't yet fully understand.

[@dipanov]

Caleb what kind of camera do you use when you're holding a gh5?

[@CalebHoover]

great question. this vide i actually shot with the great gh4. sometimes i have that set up as a studio camera.

[@putrapalguna]

how do i slow mo it on post? because it is automatically slowed in camera

[@xtAqHNpFg]

My GH5s yet hold secrets and Caleb helps to crack'em :)

[@CalebHoover]

such a great camera!

[@A1Bokeh]

I have a g9 and I think it's so close to the gh5.i actually never use the variable frame rate. I probably should from time to time. so im more wanting to get a gh5s That wider field of view and lowlight seem legit

[@CalebHoover]

yeah totally for the lowlight the gh5s is gonna be a better option. variable frame rate is definitely a nice feature if used sparingly.

[@mijaresfilms]

Thanks, nice VIDEO, Merry Christmas. Blessing I want: ZEAPON MICRO 2 MOTORIZED SLIDER : )

[@CalebHoover]

Merry Christmas!

[@megastarmegastar8314]

Please I want to buy a camera looking at a6400 Sony and gh4 lumix which one should I go for, gh4 is 7years now do you still recommend it for shooting cinematic video or a6400?

[@CalebHoover]

they would be really similar but a6400 would be way better in low light

[@iSpike]

You little Rippa mate - Hell Yeah win a Zeapon motorised slider would be the icing on my Christmas fruitcake. I have used my GH5 for a few different projects and have not yet used the variable frame rates! I would love to use this slider in my ManCave shed home studio, I produce & present a weekly live stream here on KZbin & on Facebook and use my GH5 as my main camera. Happy and healthy New Year man. [Geez I hope I win] Cheers #iSpike Western Australia

Hi, I am on of your follower , since last two years onwords using gh5 .very few times only I use auto focus but still I am not comfortable with moving subject to be accurate focus , doing practice for that many days .I am using sigma 18-35, and 12- 35 f 2.8 Lumix. can you give any tips for that ..Hope you will be responding .. Thank You my dear Friend...

[@CalebHoover]

yeah i might do a video on manual focus sometime!

Great vid, I use VFR often, very nice feature on the GH5. ;-) Unfortunately there is a problem with your form: "Instagram Handle is not valid. Must be a valid Twitter username."

[@BootStrapTurnerVideography]

Same issue. Twitter and Instagram handles don't match for me.

[@infinite6747]

If I bring the variable frame rate footage of 120 or 60 into premiere, will I loose frames if I add a speedramp to its since its already converted to 24fps when its imported?

[@CalebHoover]

i've noticed a bit of what seems like skipped frames when speed ramping but ive been able to hide it for the most part with fine tuning the ramp

[@infinite6747]

@@CalebHoover thanks

[@Schlaughter]

Am i right in saying the vfr footage of say 120fps is coming into premier at 25fps and has been processed into slowmo footage. So no slowing down or speeding up is nessasary. But if you shoot at say 50fps u will have to put that onto a 25fps timeline and adjust the speed and duration to 50% to slow it down?

[@mxybeyesterdaygrip2568]

Bro, I am not able to choose variable frame rate for some reason. It is greyed out. Any idea of what can be going on.

[@Schlaughter]

Set it to mov

[@BootStrapTurnerVideography]

Says invalid twitter handle even though form is for Instagram. Unable to enter until this is fixed. Or did you want the Twitter handle that doesn't necessarily match Instagram handles?

[@BootStrapTurnerVideography]

Worried that Twitter/Instagram handles causes an instant invalid entry. :(

i had to use a twitter placeholder. you can just put in your twitter. it looks like what you put in came thru.

Auto focus work's in slow motion on lumix gh5 ?.

[@rivajphotofilms6915]

Pls answer anyone know this

[@CalebHoover]

no it won't work. i wish it had better autofocus!

[@CSFviolinist]

Question: why shoot in variable frame rate when you can just shoot 4k 150M 60fps and it preserves the sound and you slow it down later. What is the benefit of shooting with VFR?

[@progfoxmusic]

The benefit being that you have more frames to slow down and thus way slower SMOOTH footage? And most people that are using super slow mo shots for b-roll or for music videos etc don't need the sound

[@amitj7034]

@@progfoxmusic yes you are right and the best example is a pre wedding or a video portrait where you need no sound and can preview the slow mo footage on the spot.

[@freejay3]

Why you use 8 bit option so much and not 10 bit? Thats why i got a Atomos ninja V so i can do 60 fps in 10 bit too

[@CalebHoover]

10bit is great but sometimes i want quick turnaround and 8bit and VFR can provide that.
