CONTOUR HD - 2000fps SNOWBOARDING : Cop dec 4 2010

[Nate34006]

so u were the kid screaming when i went down the hill lol

[Lorenzo69ization]

You are great!

[double0nothin54]

why dont you use a gopro?

[erealpe13]

Hmm go pro all the way contour sucks

[ShadowPhenix45]

contour has horrible colour correction

[toga2000]

AND NEXT TIME! WE LEARN HOW TO EDIT SHIT WITHOUT MAKING IT ANNOYING AS FUCK!

[thexduckxinxgeneral]

really sick but what is with the snow

[NycticebusCoucang]

cant believe they got rid of the house box this year :(

[larsmars121]

what is the name of the song??:)

[fermanut]

@larsmars121 lol please nobode tells him hahahaha buahahaha ha ha ha ha ha

crazy :D

[benjaminengell]

Don't understand how you get it this slow with a Contour HD?

[themasterbuilder100]

hey, another calgarian

[brobxc9]

le-git

[TheBOSSProductionz]

Its been slowed down using Twixtor. The reason that the ground is going all weird is because the camera is being moved. If its on a tripod then it reduces the amount of warped-ness of the shots.

[Jason51able]

Nice Backflip !!! (y)

[34johnni]

wow look at all those boxes i sense alot of talent with this one?

[inflipsane]

if the cam doesn't shoot at 2000 fps, then wow did you get to that? editing wouldn't even do that. nice tricks, but terrible video in overall. change the title..

[drqgraffiti]

this has more editing than snowboarding itself

[lukey597]

Hey, when using the video editing software did you put that skyline feature on? (the dark blue sky descending to light blue at the top of the video)

[SnowboardEdits]

@lukey597 I don't think its anything special, i believe its a vingette effect with cranked saturation and video contrast. program is final cut pro . (once again i did not edit so i am assuming)

[lukey597]

@SnowboardEdits Ok, thanks

[lukey597]

@SnowboardEdits On the camera did you have it on the Action mode so it was 720p? for the 60fps for the slow motion?

[HAAM111]

Dude, Did you use final cut to put it in slow mo, or is it a FPS setting on the contour??

[SnowboardEdits]

@HAAM111 the contour does either 1280x720 @ 60fps or 1920x1080 @ 30fps. This is optical flow in the motion part of final cut. (not regular slow mo)

[ProFilmGuy]

@SnowboardEdits It looks "cool" however the program uses compression and pixel grouping to ADD frames that were never there to begin with. This explains the weird shifting of pixels in the frame. I say thumbs way down.

[kriskk007]

@HAAM111 He probably used twixor. Twixor can get your 60 or 25fps camera to be 2000 fps. You can download the add-on at Twixor.com

[HAAM111]

@kriskk007 Ok, how do i use the add on, does it work with i movie or do i have to use like sony vegas or after effects or final cut?

[kriskk007]

@HAAM111 i don't know if it works on i movie, but i know it work on final cut, vegas and after effects. Read it at TWIXOR.COM :)

[sietec]

I honestly don't get all the "wow, sick video dude," "badass," etc. Anyone that knows anything about the most basic video technology will immediately recognize that this was NOT shot at 2,000 FPS. First of all, when video is shot at a particular frame rate, the ENTIRE frame is recorded at that rate...not just the objects in relative motion. The artifacts and strange looking portion surrounding the snowboarder is caused from a really poor job of software based frame rate manipulation. It appear

[goboatingaus]

twixtor for sure

[modcoyote]

imma firin mah lazer!!! :-)

[Aweber87]

What video edit you use?

[SnowboardEdits]

@Aweber87 this was edited with final cut pro i believe.

[CMcKeon25]

@SnowboardEdits What program do you use for editing your videos?

[imodyoumom]

do a barrel roll!!

[Papasmerfer]

sweet, but what was the purpouse of the last part?



[JumpForFun85]

@Papasmerfer Honestly, I love the last part....snowboards are crazy, may as well show it in the video....great video...way to show love for the sport and friends...this is what snowboarding is about......Especially with some Marley style music....Relax, Live, and Laugh

[Papasmerfer]

@JumpForFun85 no doubt, i lovee boarding, theres nothing like it



[fjsidebar]

Just sick man...badass backflip btw

[SamW250]

1:35 I did not think he was even gonna come close to landing that...

[shaneburton100]

whats up with the ground when it goes into slow mo?

[SnowboardEdits]

@shaneburton100 its just from the program. It tracks whatever is moving and sometimes makes that weird distortion when there is a lot of things going on the frame.

[BlackJimmyAirsoft]

@shaneburton100 its just the lens, i think... im not sure though

[MatsF10]

@shaneburton100 the camera is filming in too low FPS, so and the editing software is using blend mode between each frame, so it isn't realy ideal to do this sort of slow motion while moving so fast.

atleast i think thats how it is :)

[calvin2032]

@shaneburton100 Helmet cams, both Contour and GoPro, currently can only film up to 60 fps. So for true slow motion, you can only go as slow has half speed (when viewing at 30 fps on youtube.) Anything beyond that, a editing program must create new frames to slow down even more. Doing it once produces good results, so 0.25x speed. Once you start creating frames between created frames, details start jumping around, like the ground in this instance. Best to film against plain background.

[tarkaNHD]

@shaneburton100 called twixtor

[DoLLaR9310]

1:20 good)

[aperson2101]

amazing

[trpmassage]

sick



[gymkhanadog]

Very cool footage. The artifacts that the processing software put in there are a little distracting though. I couldn't figure out what the heck was happening with the snow until I read some comments :(

[jebbyman1012]

now thats some good shredding, this is no where near as good but check it anyways :)

[AndromediaIX]

Try using a program called Twixtor when attempting to avoid moving surfaces around moving objects..

[12lorik]

HAH nice advertisement for contour though

[Lars0scar]

nice song, some shit in the background though

[Lars0scar]

I see you like slow motion

[wroxx1900]

To avoid Warp'ing (as it is called when you get that weird blur around the moving objects) when using Twixtor is to get a onecoulered background, and keep the camera still. If for example the person is doing a jump make sure that you get the boarder in the sky.

[TheVikingShredder]

1:05 whats up with the snow?

[Prbasss]

@TheVikingShredder twixtor 

[JonasTheSniper]

@TheVikingShredder This video isn't in 2000fps. It's in 30 or 60, then After Effects was used to create additional frames in between the real frames, but it causes some distortion, like in the snow.

[gobias3]

@JonasTheSniper actually @SnowboardEdits probably used twixtor, as ae's frame blending is much worse than what we are seeing here. twixtor is much, much better at frame estimation and produces some pretty good quality stuff.

[markunit72]

yawn...

[xxsiggex]

which editing software is used?

[FusionSkateboards123]

contour really films in 2000 fps? or did u have to do some work eith editing to make it look that good

[DumpsterChicken14]

thats dope guys, sick edit i rode cop like 5 years ago i remember it being tight.

[TheHivlover]

Twixster! sick vid

[PuR3xIN3SS]

@TheHivlover *twixtor



[ChezrYisFresHH]

sickest vid ever!!!!!!!!
