Canon HV30 Test

WATCH IN HD! Hey guys. Went out today to do a little filming and this is what I came back with. This is the 2nd test from the lovely Canon HV30 camera :)

This video was shot in 60i (HDV option in camera)
It's the bare camera, no attachments WHATSOEVER!
Vanguard VT-508 tripod was used.
To get the sort of depth of field you see in this video, simply zoom in towards your object and play around with the manual focus.

Filming took 30 mins, editing 15 mins and rendering took 1 hour and 37 mins.
Color correction added in Sony Vegas 7 btw.
Hope you enjoy it.

Soundtrack:
"Deep Honey" by "Goldfrapp"

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RENDERING IN SONY VEGAS:

When you have captured your footage into vegas (File, - Capture Video - Rewind tape to begginning or where you want to start capture from, then press record on the capture video window after selecting destination folder and such)
Then you wont to go to File, - Render As... choose .wmv as your file type (should be at bottom)
Then click the custom button on the right hand side. On the video tab set:
Mode: CBR
Image Size: High Definition (1280x720)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.000 (Square) - IMPORTANT! (DO NOT pick the HD pixels, trust me, it makes the video frame smaller and won't fit the youtube frame!)
Frame rate: whatever you want or the frame rate you recorded in (24fps is more film like)
set video smoothness to sharpest.
In audio you want CBR and 128 kbps, 44 khz
And in project tab you will want best rendering quality.
These are the standard youtube HD quality settings.

Hope it helps :)

@seanyboy1436 Yes, but you will need to install a Firewire card into your one of your computer's PCI slots.

Wow awesome was wondering which camera to get I think this one seems to be it.

[AndruInTheSky]

hey I've got this same cam, but when I export the video to my comp and work with the captured material i kinda feel a big loss in quality. How can you upload it in HD to youtube or vimeo? Is it a matter of some option inside my camera or is it about post production?? I work in Adobe Premiere cs4... if someone knows please let me know, I've tried and i can't upload my work in HD anyyywhere :(
