High Speed Camera Solution

Jump to Comments

I did a little searching on the internet and found a solution to my high-speed camcorder desire, and for a much cheaper price!

First, I can just buy a standard camcorder without any bells or whistles. Pretty much any standard HD camera will work for me. The cheaper the better. But, I want it to have a fast shutter speed so I can capture moving objects with no blurring. (The standard canons and panasonics have 1/2000 shutter speeds, which is fine)

Second, I can use Adobe Premiere.

And finally, most importantly, I can apply a filter that deinterlaces the original video and then blends the frames together using a very complicated algorithm that I can’t even begin to fathom.

Here’s a test I ran using video from my digital camera (very poor quality) at 10% speed (1 second of footage stretched into a 10 second duration). I think it comes out pretty nice for what it is:

Compare the quality of that to the quality of the same clip slowed down to 10% without applying the filter:
