2.7k 30fps vs 1080p 60fps!

[thestone11]

P3A users, would you choose 2.7k over 1080p? Real question is would you choose better resolution over faster frame rate?

 

[III% Streve]

For me, the only need for higher frame rate is if I want to e able to slow down the video more clearly in post processing.

well, since I don't have a 4K TV and my Mac MBP to too old to usably view the 2.7K video I'll be sticking with 1080P for now.

one exception being if I plan to do some zooming or other editing in post.

That's the reason why i went with the P3A instead of the P3P but just curious what you guys think about resolution vs frame rate.

I decided for the p3a because 4k @ 60fps don't exist. The smoothness of 60p is awesome.

I'd take the frame rate over resolution.

I'd like to see some side by side comparisons.

 

[robinb]

hopefully my weather will get better tuesday so i can take some videos

 

[nonflyingbrick]

When I experimented with 1080p 60 vs 30 fps I could clearly see the difference in smoothness when rotating, so I'd go with 1080p60. I haven't actually tried 2.7K 30 fps.

That's why we use nd filters - so that the exposure time gets near the actual frame rate [actually 2x is ideal]. I shoot in 2k7/25 & downconvert later.

If you want smooth panos, use the poi to fly a circle, but look straight ahead. easy!

 

[ELHEAPO]

1060 60fps everytime 80% of the time!!

 

[Tommy1980]

60 frames is really good, it gives to the movie that "national geographic documentary" effect that i find cool.
I'd be curious anyway to see how a 2.7k movie resampled at 1080p would look like: i read that 4k downscaled movies look better than 1080p original movies.. I'm curious.

Test it yourself then and post the results on here.

 

[Tommy1980]

Yea, only problem is that at the moment, my old Vaio can barely work with 1080p videos, i edit mines with the iphone. So right nkw i really can't compare

 

[Rumbaar]

I'm recording at 2.7k for 'future proofing' my videos. But currently I have no need over 1080p.

 

[alirz]

The problem is..once you have looked at a 4k video...1080p looks like total ****..I used to have a p3a and have some 1080p vids...now have a p3p..4k by faaarrr has so much more clarity..I do wish we could get like 48 fps 4k with the p3p..that would be nice.

 

[rippmaster13]

p3p 4k @ 24fps is the way to go
carefully planed shots, no fast movements, no filming grass at the wrong distance.
ND and polarizer.

(for cinematic shots)

 

[William Laven]

Re: "grass at the wrong distance." I'm a noob and my fifth vid was of cows grazing shot from ~50-75 feet above and the grass was really shimmery. I watched it on my 5K iMac and really didn't like it. My tracking was pretty slow, BTW. Any suggestions?

 

[richardhurst]

As above. I'd be interested to know how to avoid those horrible effects on grass
