From any camera that shoots at this rate or higher.
State the make and model of camera.


Our first shoot with the Canon C300

Are you still exporting as photojpeg? I wish there was a better option, I feel that this codec degrades the footage :(

Not much choice for stock.
But the thing you're not thinking about is the original video isn't squished from camera and then squished again after editing and final output.
So, ultimatly the video is higher quality.
Make sense?

If there was a better codec to upload as stock I would do that but it would have to be available for all sites I deal with.

This is how I feel that Jake has a new camera and I don't. There aren't enough walls for me to touch.



But, that said, this was shot with a Panasonic HPX-170 at--wait for it--100 MBPS!

Nice shot.
Depression sells......:)

Does it have to be in-camera? This was shot with the Z5U to an Atomos Ninja, ProResHQ, 220Mb/s, 10 bit, 4:2:2

Great time lapse Mizamook!

Thank you! I'm still awaiting word from the Thread Creator whether external recorders qualify....at least I won't plague the thread with timelapses (most of what I do with the ext. rec devices) This one is Z5U-PIX220, DNxHD 145 :

Mizamook, that is fine. I don't care how its recorded.
How do you like the Atomos?
Very cool shots by the way.

@Jake As far as I know only Pond5 accepts ProRes422 clips.

Thanks kk5hy, and for the Atomos, well, I sent it back and bought the PIX220. They both have pros/cons....clip quality is the same, Atomos is lighter, better on batteries, PIX is heavier, but better build quality, has phantom powered XLR inputs, etc.

HDMI is the WORST, in either case, for someone who might bump a cable. Believe it. The WORST.

But this is a clip thread, not tech discussion..sorry. Here's a clip shot with Sony HVR-Z5U PIX220 DNxHD145:

edit:moved to tech discussion area :-)

Shot at 12,500 ISO. I did use some noise reduction in the clip for sale but I have the original clip on my YouTube channel which shows that there is still very little noise from camera.

"I'm not a doctor, but I play one on stock footage..."

and a carpenter, and a foreman, and a businessman, and a preacher, and an FBI agent, ...

You know what would make that shot better? Slow motion. It's all the rage these days.

Exactly what I was thinking, that would be epic.

Are you seeing a big difference from your usual magnificent work? I suspect it might be in the rendering of the shadow/gradients....I never did like the T2i's look, but I haven't messed with the 5d mkll yet, either....I hope you're digging your new gear!

Nice work....looking good!

This clip now that I'm seeing it online I'm not digging it so I will delete it.
Something with the photojpg I guess.
Anyway, I absolutely love this camera. Even in this low light clip I can see all the detail in the shadows behind the computer monitor in the foreground and behind my head.
For more well lit shots the color and sharpness is unbelievable.
The only I've used my 5d is to take behind the scenes photos. But I'll still use it as a second camera.

Curious about that, Jake....you're deleting a clip because of the preview quality? I ask this because I have noticed that many of my own clips that have lots of detail/high bandwidth seem to take a quality hit in the previews compared to those that fall well within the range of "normal".

These were shot with the Z5u/PIX220 DNxHD145:

No, not because of the preview, just in general.
Delores and I are our worst critics and probably delete more than we upload.

i rented a c300 for shoot last weekend (thanks jake for some last minute user hints!)

and here with her sister!

Great looking footage Dubassy!

You throw clips away, Jake? Don't you know Pond5 is where you're supposed to upload everything?

You'll never get to 6, 7, or 8,000 clips that way.

I want to be the exception to the rule

Think outside the box

Eat wild cherry life savers

Those life savers will be life eliminators. Don't do that.

Go to your recycling bin, grab all video files, hell grab jpgs. I don't care. upload. don't edit. just upload. copy and paste some keywords and BAM. complete.

Some of the clips I think the least of turn out to be sellers. Keep them up and see what happens.

Working with clips from this shoot was quite difficult. Lining up the HDV and DNxHD versions frame-to frame, and working with them from there, the benefit of the higher bit rate I-frame codec was very apparent. Sony Z5U.

You guys all do awesome work. I'm still fairly new to this, but trying to expand my portfolio weekly. I processed this clip a little heavy because I wanted to give it that video game look. This was captured on a Panasonic GH2, hacked up to 176mb.

Here's a more subtle clip..again on the 176mb Gh2

Green screen shots from the Canon C300 recorded at 50Mbps at 4.2.2

Getting more Victorian era props and clothing to shoot inside the train car instead of green screen. Just got permission to do so. Very excited about that.


Day for night scene of a Victorian woman waiting for someone at the train station. Also added smoke particle effects in After Effects.
