I see that I used the same process as you editing the videos, getting a staircase/pyramide

But i was happy with the sketchy transition between each cameras, I slowed down the shots but I get too much arctifacts with twixtor !!

Can’t figure out how I can get better results…

it would be really cool if we can see you post prod work.

for the GoPro meet up,

unfortunatly I live way too far from new york, I’m from Tahiti (french polynesia) a small island in the pacific.

it’s really cool to see people doing these types of event.

keep up your good work !
good luck for all,
and thanks again for the answer !

Thanks! I’d love to see how you set yours up as well.

Post production is definitely the roadblock here. Since we don’t have the resources to build custom software to process these shots we have to do this manually. I was thinking of adding my post process to another post. I’m using Premiere Pro CS5 but the concept is the same in any application. After Effects might actually be too complex for this, but I could be wrong.

Aside from aligning cameras as evenly as possible you definitely want to slate(clapper) the shot before your action. You can also just clap with your hands. Having the audio and visual cue will help line the shots up. In a nutshell what I do is line up the clips on top of one another and use the ‘hold on frame’ option for the clips. Then I manually nudge each clip further in time so I am left with a staircase/pyramid-like pattern. This is pretty time consuming but pretty satisfying if the shot was done well.

In addition to the automated software the pros are using I believe they are also using software to interpolate frames as well to further smooth it out.

Where are you based? I started a GoPro meetup group here in NYC if you’re interested: http://www.meetup.com/go-pro/

first of all, great job for the time slice test, and thank you for sharing some infos about the set up.

when I saw your test, i decided to try it myself.

I made a simple rig and used 6 GoPro, everything went well.

But I’m stuck in the post production.

I synced my 6 videos in after effect, but then, I definitly don’t figure out how to switch from one to another with a smooth transition.

Can you get more in details about your post production work.

that would be a great help for me (and many others think) since there is really a lack of infos of this technique.

Thank you in advance,
keep up the good work! great site !
