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.
Standard setup for undercranking effects
SYSTEM MODE
720-59.94P
720-50P
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.
