Don't know which settings I'm using at the moment, but looks good to me:
1080p@60fps, 35 mbit, slightly color-corrected and some more contrast. Original script has less contrast but far more saturation.
Could share my settings if anyone's interested.
Not much at all: Saturation was too strong in the original file, so I desaturated by about 10% and added contrasts: 10% for lights, -2% for middle and -7% for shadows.Loving that video, what colour correction are you doing?
# vibrance/saturation adjustments
t ia2 -adj ev 0 0 145 0 0 180 0
# shadow/highlight clipping adjustments
t ia2 -adj ae 90
t ia2 -adj autoknee 50
# set gamma level
t ia2 -adj gamma 10
# enable 14 scene mode
t cal -sc 14
# set noise reduction value to 500
t ia2 -adj tidx -1 500 -1

In post. However these are the settings I used for recordingSorry did you mean you did edits in post to desaturate etc, or the settings above do that?

So if I lower the values in the script a little I should with a bit of trial and error get the same results?
Just thinking about saving time and I'm a little lazy. Just thinking about doing minimal editing on my phone with iMovie and uploading direct from phone.
Is it possible for someone to make a 35mbs scripts of these settings?
I actually want to have a video similar to gopro standards however postproduction (Sony Vegas) will be used too. I saw also the Yimax and Yimovie autoexc.ash's however the video samples were a little bit too "dark" and somehow i missed details and contrast.It depends what do you want as final footage, a flat image nice for a postproduction or a vivid one (like gorpro) that can be already used?
So in this case, issue 4) would be solved by high bitrate? (Sorry for obvious questions like those, but I'm used to standard bitrates of 35Mbps on my Nikon D5200)It depends what do you want as final footage, a flat image nice for a postproduction or a vivid one (like gorpro) that can be already used?
Man, you using youtube videos. Ther is know low bit rate fast movement problem with yt uploads.Nobody here who could help?
First of all, Hello everybody, my Xiaomi is on the way, and even before ordering it, i read a lot about it. However after I've ordered it, i got a little bit unsecure if it was the real gopro alternative for low pocket money. (Other options were the iSAW EDGE or the SJ5000x - but in the end i ordered the Xiaomi for the price).
Now after reading a little bit here and there, i saw that the original product needed some fixes - nothing doomsday compared, but still a little bit frustrating that the end user still gets a "beta-product". (Hope this will change during next model??)
Finally, to the real question:
1. These autoexc.ash files can be simply written with all these codes, but what are essentials things a newb like me need to know to apply these settings to the cam? (Avoiding bootlop, broken OS, ...)
2. As i have read here before
I actually want to have a video similar to gopro standards however postproduction (Sony Vegas) will be used too. I saw also the Yimax and Yimovie autoexc.ash's however the video samples were a little bit too "dark" and somehow i missed details and contrast.
The video I shoot will be for some kind of "holiday" video.
[Example:This video was shot with a gopro from a model couple. They used as far as i can tell normal gopro settings in 1080 60fps and added some kind of polaroid filter during the postproduction process. ]
So i want to achieve something similar (by video quality and color etc. - not the angles and persons )
3. I've read here some people reduced Sharpness, may i ask why? Or should it be added during the postproduction?
4. Some Xiaomi video samples have some kind of image rendering lacks. By this i mean, if the camera moves to fast, the camera is to slow to capture a good quality video and has a lack of quality frames or some kind of compressed/pixelated video moments. For example this downhill video:
If you look closely, when the biker drives a little bit faster, the stones and grass are getting pixelated or it looks like the camera cant handle the fast movement. Any way to fix this?
5. I've also read that some people want to use 100% JPG. But why using an action cam to shoot pictures? Or is this meant by shooting HQ pictures with the timelapse? If so, some people suggested to use RAW, but can those RAW files be directly used with PS/ Sony Vegas/ Adobe After Effects, or do they need some convertements in addition too?
Thank you all for taking time to publish here your settings and edits, and thanks to those taking time and answering my questions!
p.s. To start with the Xiaomi, i guess, i start with the custom 35Mbps firmware of Fried? (https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/xiaomi-yi-custom-firmware-with-lastest-revision.13557/)
Man, you using youtube videos. Ther is know low bit rate fast movement problem with yt uploads.
Are your movies from yi have the same problem , played on your pc ?
I had the same problem. It was solved by adding the following line to raw2nef.ini with Notepad.Hi, Im having a problem with writing a basic script with timelapse and raw files.
every raw file is broken when i try to convert it in RAW2DNG " unsupported format error"
still the same any other ideas, copy youre autoexec fileI had the same problem. It was solved by adding the following line to raw2nef.ini with Notepad.
