Reference Point

samclems — Sun, 29 Nov 2020 11:24:42 +0000

Hi, I'm trying to track towards a subject whilst keeping it in focus.

If I use only 2 points, I lose focus mid-track.

I tried adding a third point mid-track and setting it as a reference point.

Things improve but I'm still not able to get a fluid move across the whole move.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

Sergio

Keyframes position aren't recalled correctly

Hi,

I'm trying to shoot some video clips where I'd want to have the subject stay in the center of the frame while the slider moves. I'm using a three axis setup I self built using three Nema 17 motors. Motors are calibrated and saved as my default setup.

As you will se from the attached video clip, the subject (in this test the Marshall amp logo on the speaker cabinet, low quality shoot just for test purposes...) doesn't remain the the same position I have saved in the start and end keyframes during the movement.

Also, looks like the three motors aren't moving simultaneously, rather, looks like the slide is the first one, then pan, then tilt.

I'm also still having issues with the slider controls like I told you in another post of mine (they are still behaving awkward when I try to do some small adjustments, it seemed to be fixed but it's still there, either in video and timelapse mode, buttons are OK).

I'm on iPhone XS, iOS 13.6.1, Pine app v 3.1, Pine FW 3.0

Any ideas?

Thanx

Video: Test video shoot

Noisy motor

Hello,

I'm mainly using my Pine controller and slider for timelapses, but occasionally I do some video shoots.

I'm using a standard Nema 17 motor with a 5:1 gear ratio. I find that the motor does resonate with the slider, producing some pretty high noise which could be an issue with shoots where audio is involved.

I'll try to do some dampening to the motor/slider joint, but I'd like to know if anybody using a similar combination for video shoot had similar issues, and in case, what solution used.

Thanx

Zwischenpunkte im Videomodus

Ich habe heute im Videomodus versucht eine Kamerafahrt an einem Objekt vorbei zu erstellen. Dabei hatte ich das Problem, daß ich einen (oder mehrere) Zwischenpunkte auf der Fahrt setzten mußte. Leider verlangsamt und beschleunigt sich der Slider dann an diesen Zwischenpunkten, da ich Fade In/Out aktiv habe, weil ich dieses am Anfang und Ende gerne beibehalten würde.

Ich fände es sehr praktisch, wenn ich die Zwischenpunkte nur nutzen könnte, um mein Objekt im Bild zu behalten und zusätzlich die Fade In/Out Funktion nutzen zu können. Schön wäre es dann auch, wenn ich nur beim letzten Punkt der Kamerafahrt die Zeit eintrage und man könnte anwählen daß die Zwischenpunkte dann zeitlich richtig positioniert werden, so daß einen harmonische Fahrt über alle Punkte hinweg ergibt.
