Fujifilm Video Files and Codecs Explained
Ғылым және технология
Fujifilm video files and codecs explained. Emphasis on Fujifilm X-T4. Also explanation of Bitrate, Long GOP, and All-Intra for video shooting. Here's my best recommendations for common scenarios:
1. Want best possible video and audio quality
Use: 4K 400Mbps with MOV/H.265(HEVC) LPCM with ALL-I Compression
2. Just posting stuff to social media like Facebook:
Use: FHD or 4K with MP4/H.264 AAC with Long GOP (however if shooting lots of motion, change substitute Long GOP with ALL-I instead.
JPEG vs. RAW files: • Fujifilm Cameras: RAW ...

I've been shooting stills on my Xt-3 for a couple of years. Last year we were locked down here in Spain, no exercise permitted, my photo work dried up instantly, and I had a lot of time on my hands..... so I switched it to video mode and started to learn. I found this channel fairly quickly and watched more or less everything. A year on.... I am now starting to get paid for shooting video, and it's 99% thanks to you. It's one of the best instructive KZread channels I have come across and I haven't taken the time to say thanks so far... so here it is. Thanks..... it doesn't seem enough really, but I really, really mean it. Keep doing what you do.

@@cbskater44 Fairly basic stuff to be honest, but mostly for small business social media. Everyone wants video these days. I bought a gimbal to go with the camera, downloaded DaVinci Resolve, which is free and excellent. I've been a pro stills photographer for 15 years and just started to offer a few free taster videos to my existing clients to see if they liked them, and they started hiring me. I'm sure an expert videographer would see all kinds of faults, but my clients seem to like them, and like the price and it really boosts their engagement on Instagram, which seems to be what it is all about these days.... and it's fun to learn something new.

Thank you for bringing us closer to our Fujis with your talent, knowledge, hard work... and humor!
You’re a great teacher. Thanks a lot for removing all the confusion.
Chris - this is gold! As a stills shooter the video options on my camera was a complete mystery, like trying to read a foreign language. And as a Fujifilm shooter for over 6 years I have never touched this functionality. This episode is like the Rosetta Stone! You are an extraordinary ambassador to Fujifilm and I hope they are remunerating you. You have global (& cross cultural) reach so from down here in Australia I thank you!
It's amazing how you explain things so well, that complicated looking stuff becomes easy and always perfectly presented in a fun way.

Dude….this is the most clear explanation on what codecs, video file types, and audio compression types I have EVER seen. Chris, you are a super effective instructor. Everyone who sees this video needs to go and update their transcripts! You are now 2-credits smarter in media than you were before watching.
Chris, once again, you've made clear a mystery of the Fuji universe. Thanks so much!
Your videos and the presentation of additional info on screen are getting better each week!
You are great again. This is so confusing topic for new video makers. I needed this video a year ago :)) you are telling everything so simple. thanks for wonderful lesson.
Your videos are, by far, the most informative and extremely helpful for learning. Plus there’s an undeniable fun factor. Thank you so much.
By far the best channel for explaining stuff like this in an easy way - excellent work!
A link to your videos needs to be included with every Fuji camera. As an amateur, it was so daunting trying to learn about my X-T4 through endless forums and unclear videos. Since I’ve found your channel, it’s like night and day. I love watching every new video you make, I’ve gotten so much more comfortable with my camera and have learned so much about photography and video in general thanks to you. Keep it up!
Outstanding. I wish all the people who tried to teach me something throughout my life (and there are many) had the smarts, energy, clarity and humor you have......I would be so much better off!!!!!!!!
finally a video that breaks it down and makes it simple to understand! thank you! dont stop!!!
Honestly, this is the best explanation I've been seen on Fuji and video settings.
It's the best explainer video I've seen on KZread about XT-4 video settings. Excellent work, congrats. I suscribe! 🎥🎞️😁
Thank you sooooo much ! One of the best information I have ever get her on KZread!!!! Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time trying to remember the best movie mode settings without really understanding what they meant and was struggling because of that. Watching This video has cleared up so much and I already feel more confident to switch my camera to movie mode. 🙌🏽

Thanks, been working with Codecs and fuji cameras for years, but this helped clarify a number of things!
This was fabulous! I am wanting to try video and honestly hearing people using words like codecs and the like was like a foreign language! You’ve explained this really well, thank you.
Thanks Chris! you really do awesome content I really mean it man it helps A LOT.
Another great and interesting video. You're my all-time favorite for Fuji camera explanations, even though I'm not a native English speaker. Very clear, distinct and understandable and extremely personable. Perhaps you will one day bring out a super tips and tricks book for the Fuji XT-4 that goes beyond the usual manuals? I would buy it!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You - I have been looking for this valuable info FOREVER. No one on KZread ever gives this info. All they tell is how they THINK you should set your Fuji up for “good” video. I would guess most don’t understand what you have graciously provided. HALLELUJAH! Now I know what I am looking at in the Video Menu Mess. I’m used to the old days of picking up a camcorder, turning it on and pressing the record button. Stupid me, I thought, now I have a camera that will eliminate the camcorder. Until you come along I was totally lost. Thank You! Now I can start making good use of the other half of my T4. You make every session so easy to understand. A tremendous breath of fresh air. That You! for not leaving the, how to, details out. And, you do it with a smile on your face. 👏

Thank you so much for this introduction to shooting video! I am a long time stills photographer, but a bit intimidated by the video learning curve. More please!
Thanks so much! This explains a lot! So, "all-i" aka intra is the way to go. Did not realize this until yesterday or so, along with this video, which made it so obvious clear...!
Chris is the camera dad we never had
Good job Chris, even a newbie could understand this presentation!!👍👍👍
As always, explained so perfectly that it was easy to follow and understandable with that touch of Pal2Tech humor. Love it! 😉

You just answered every question I have on this subject. Thanks
Wow Professor , you just "decoded" much of the "code" language "contained" in FUJI XT3 user manual. This is "Raw" knowledge..........Brilliant as always and many thanks for sharing !!!
Explained very well and understandably, even for me I grew up not speaking English. For this I have now subscribed to your channel. Many Thanks. 👍👍👍
Great delivery Chris... answered some questions for me... thank you.
Thanks Chris, your videos are nuggets of gold !!
Brilliant! loved the metaphors used
great explanation as always! 🙏
Hey Pal, excellent explanation. Thank you very much.
Thank you for all your videos. Really appreciete your time and energy. Keep it up please
Glad to see you are now going more in-depth with the video modes for fujifilm. Now if you would start using DaVinci Resolve, LOL, I could skip all the other channels and just watch yours! Can't wait to travel back to the US to pick up my X-t4 and accessories. Thay are at my brothers house and every time I talk to him on Facetime he has to show them to me. Would cost a fortune to ship to Panama. An expat living in Panama.
An excellent and very helpful explanation - thank you!
Thx for this video! You do a great work!
OMG, thanks a billion for your kind sharing video info. It's really new knowledge for me, of this "moving picture"s settings.
A wonderful video I've been using my XH2 to shoot different videos and there are some videos that I cannot play on my computer. I'm now sure that I've been shooting at bitrates and intra or GOP settings that are just too much for my system. Your video has given me the insight to be a little more thoughtlful about what I am asking my camera to do and whether my computer can work with it. Thanks!
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
This made perfect sense! Thank you!

Very instructive video, thank you.
Great instructional video. You are definitely a talented instructor! Could you please consider doing a series of videos that explain post-processing with an example of a small vdeo file? That is where I am hung up now.
This was really helpful. I have been shooting 120fps for slowmo and recently I feel it like too slow. 60fps gives something in the middle which I felt good for my type of work. But I couldn't switch to 4K 60fps until I watched this video. Thanks for those formats, compressions workaround.
Your videos are amazing. You explain very well. You have a gift. Fuji should hire you. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Regards!
Thankyou so much for this video! I am working on a script to clip/merge videos with ffmpeg - the easy to understand information about GOP / Full Intra really helped me understand my issues! (Segsments being cut on the *keyframe* before the time supplied to ffmpeg - not accurate enough)
Okay! You teased us well! Now I want a review and shooting on that GFX baby! I really hope it'll be released soon!

Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share with us. And you teach in such a simple manner! One other question I haven't found the answer to, is if there is a way for me to shoot video with no audio. I'm an in-water surf photographer/videographer and since camera is inside housing, it doesn't really need to be recording any sounds. And I think would make files not only lighter but also easier for post production. Thank you so much. BIG FAN from Argentina!
That was really helpful.
Great video (and energy) as usual !! Undoubtedly, the Best channel for Fuji shooters so thanks so much for your hard dedicated work. Speaking about h265 becoming more used....Would you do a video on editing h265 from importing to exporting your project? Please please please...
Thanks alot Great information 👏😃
Many thank's, for all your help with fuji's kmera, i never find the same in my owm language: french,... by the way !! Poor france in 2022... You've saved us !!! "merçi beaucoup !!!
Oh goodness, that is a lot of information. You make it relatively easy to understand, though, Chris! I guess i’ll probably only need lower quality for now, but should I record higher, like taking RAW still images, in case I want to process them more extensively later? Thanks for your amazing content as always, Chris!
What an amazing talent you have for demystifying these complicated settings. Thank you! Oh and great to see a Genesis CD in your video too! (though they made better ones than Abacab...😉)
Good evening Chris and thank you so much again. Its a really great pleasure to hear und see you explaining, and, I did say it before: I am so surprised understanding an learning all that stuff from beginning to the end. Is it possible to become addicted to technical lessons??
Awesome information
I understand! Bravo!!!
Chris, you just gain some additional respect from m for showing that Genesis CD. You have good taste for music, ALTHOUGH that particular album is among the least liked ones in their catalogue. I hop you are familiar with the rest of their material. I am not into video much but I still enjoyed this. Thanks.
the most important thing is definitely the bitrate. you can draw a completely black rectangle in photoshop at 4k res. and it'll be technically a 4k res image but that doesn't mean it has details. as long as your bitrate is low, high resolution has no meaning at all.
just perfect
Thank you for the explainer video. It was very helpful. On my up-to-date firmware X-T3 I've never seen a container option for MP4 (only MOV). However, just changing the output file .MOV extension to .MP4 seems to work just fine.

thanks - I've always wondered what all this stuff means and now I know :-)
your video is great! Lots of informations that I needed! Thanks. The only thing I don't get is why I do not have the "container" as you say at 7:08. I just have H.264 or H.265 on Fuji XT3
Thank you!
Thanks Chris, an other very nice explanation, we are definitively missing a Xtab in Fuji doc about, I understood that image speed rate and transfert speed are the most importants setup, isn't it ? By the way, I'm so happy to know that Fuji is now selling GFX100S empty boxes, a nice tip! lol
loved it

Thank you for all the infomation about long gop and all intra. I think, i should shoot video with long gop for less background movement on tripod, a lot of movement and background changes with gimbal... maybe 😅🤕
I like your compression algorithm for the metadata....

Your Long GOP and ALL- intra end section helps me understand the failure of KZread to handle my fractal animations. Instead of looking like 1080p after the upload, it looks like mush. Too much is moving all the time.
