Excuse me for the ignorant query. Anyone's kindful guideance is appreciated.
I am recording with the BMPCC4K, taking action videos of mountain bikers doing extreme sports, jumps, etc.. I prefer to capture in UHD or DCI 4K, and at the highest frame rate possible, so that in post I can decide if to slow down the action smoothly.
I generally edit/ deliver in D. Resolve at 29.97fps, and when I film with either my Drones, or Gopros or GHx cameras, or the BMPCC4K, I prefer to capture overcranked at 59.94fps so that I have ample frames to slow in post later, should I choose to do that.
My question: Whats the benefit of the HFR button, on the BMPCC4K?
I get it that I can toggle to 59.94 on the fly, but I hate fighting the results in post. When dropped into DR 29.97 timeline in post, the frames play by default at 1/2 speed. thats ok, but but the audio is playing back at native, full speed for half of the clip duration. Theres sort of a mis match here.
Its a real annoyance and very annoying to adjust the clips playback rate in the timeline to 200x to get life like speed, then the audio also gets applied 200x playback. That is not my preference.
I am finding that its simply much easier to simply set in the BMPCC4K camera settings a project framerate of 59.94 and shoot it at that. Then, when that video is dropped into DR, it behaves exactly the same as my Gopro or Drone video does (both get captured at 59.94). The video plays back at real speed natively in DR, and slowing down the clips speed to 50pct also slows down the audio as well. Which is my preference.I often reply on the in camera audio, being out in the field.
What would be the "advantage" or purpose of the HFR 29.97/49.94 option in the BMPCC4K camera? What am I missing?
