Veho MUVI K2 - 120 FPS example slow motion 417 Troll Booth
2I am uploading this video because it appears the only videos of the Veho MUVI K2 operating in 720P 120 FPS are some guy setting some branches on fire and some other guy racing RC cars with his friend. Both of them were shot in what appears as cloudy conditions and I wanted some direct sunlight to gauge daytime quality. What better sun than Florida sun?
The original video was slowed down to 1/4th speed so you can see each frame at 30 FPS. I could upload it raw but YT will limit it to 30 anyway, and uploading 120 FPS footage played 1/1 speed at 30 FPS is pretty much 30 FPS.
I never worked with this high of a frame rate so this is was learning experience for me. A couple of things I noticed
- Video quality decreased. With the K2 doing 19 Mbps a second and outputting twice as many frames, this is mathematically true. And it's not too surprising. If you seek picture quality, keep the FPS lower. I personally use 960P60 as an every day mode for a mix of getting the full sensor and high FPS to work with.
- It needs a lot of light. Even in direct sunlight this footage could be mistaken for 480P. Heh, maybe it is. If you're shooting 120 FPS even in partially cloudy skies it's going to look like a Sony Bloggie Touch or a Flip. If you're shooting indoors or night time at 120 FPS, you may as well use the previously mentioned cameras.
- I think some N.L.E.s, despite accepting the videos, will refuse to export/render 120 FPS files and probably limit it to 99. This is a nonissue as most people shoot 24 or 30 FPS and make more money than most of us.
- It looks pretty darn cool
- Live playback of 120 FPS video on a computer needs a fairly good computer
- Watching 120 FPS video at full speed is really distracting. I've seen 60 FPS in video games before but watching this was like looking into a mirror.
