I am not a video editor. With that said I have a few questions. I am experiementing with some footage taken while chronographing different pellets. I have slowed down a couple of shots to 1/8x speed. The audio of indexing the round and the shot are pretty slow, but I am unable to see the pellet in flight. What I do see is a sudden hole appear on the target.
My footage was recorded on a Pard NV007a in color mode. Information I’ve found online suggests that the Pard NV007a records at a frame rate of 30fps. I’ve read that a minimum of 24-30fps is necessary to produce slow-motion video, but I’m wondering if a higher frame rate is required for filming projectiles in flight. When I recorded the footage I was shooting from 65 yards around 845-850 fps. As stated above the video was slowed down to 1/8x. This is the slowest that I’ve been able to run my footage while editing clips using a free video editing app that I found called VN.
My primary question is, within the above stated parameters is it possible to capture a pellet in flight on video? If so, what do I need to do that I haven’t mentioned? Advice from experienced members who’ve successfully filmed and edited some of their shots and POIs in this fashion would be greatly appreciated.
