Been watching loads of videos on my new sony a7siii and learned a few new things from you on this one. Thankful you took the time to make this. 1: You can't record 120 fps and also capture proxies in camera 2: Audio doesn't work in S&Q mode Saved me from learning it the hard way on set! Thanks Kyle!!

Quick tip that for some reason a lot of professionals don't seem to mention or do at all... instead of needing like 10 batteries you can typically get away with 3 or 4 and just buy a 24,000mh battery pack and bring the chargers with, when one dies throw it on the charger. I do this and there's ALWAYS a charged battery in my rotation.

They fixed the previews for some things. You can see the clip thumbnail, but if it was shot in 60fps or 120fps, QuickTime can not playback the footage. A solution is to download VLC, which is free, and you can right click > open in > VLC media player. That’ll let you play back the clips, but if they in slo motion it’ll playback choppy. Which is find for quickly looking at the clips and doing file management etc.

@@RoyaltyPlays Proxies help a ton with reducing any and all slowdowns while editing. Defintitely worth exploring. You can record them simultaneously in camera for the A7iii and above, then just link them in Premiere. edit off of those and export as normal at the end. definitely check the vid i linked

@@kylemeshna That's sounds great, I usually don't have too much of a slow down as is with both my 1080p120 and 4k30 but it's there just a bit, sometimes having to scrub over once or twice or play it back 2-3 times for a smooth playback. Part due to the poor 16gb of memory I have, upgrading to a 64gb kit soon.

And that’s the reason people’s cards fail. Handling carelessly with your hands smudging contacts....also the preview issue you can solve with some googling

Crap I bought the faster cards and haven’t even thought about a card reader 🤣 My A7Siii is still on backorder. Now I gotta buy one or return the card So you are saying a fast regular card works on 4k120? By the way the advice for proxies un camera is 👌🏽🙌🏽

Correct, you can still do 10bit 4:2:2 in 4k120 without the CF cards. You just can’t do the s&q mode. Personally I’d return / cancel the order of the CF cards and use that money towards a lens or some lighting or something

I got a Sony Tough UHS-II Card which is good enough the IPB 4k120 Considering buying the 80GB Type A but not sure something I will do before the year is over Next year the prices may come down and the competition will also create new cards that will be cheaper I still need a UHS-II card reader for now Any recommendation? I might just buy the Sony one and prepare my self for the future since I actually ordered an Apple Card reader which actually won’t work because it’s UHS-I only.

can you playback 4k120fps footage on camera's screen? or says not supported?

@kylemeshna

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah. Zero issues with playback on the camera for any settings. Active Steady Shot is not supported, however. If you do 4k120 in normal "movie" setting, it'll playback in normal speed on the screen. If you do 4k120 in S&Q mode, it'll playback in slow motion.

It’s honestly insane how well it stabilizes! I’m blown away. The only drawback is that the shutter speed can be a little wonky if you’re using the 180 shutter rule. So you usually have to crank your shutter pretty high to get smooth frames

No steady shot with 4k 120 how about 1080 120?

@kylemeshna

3 жыл бұрын

Normal steady shot with 120, but no active steady shot in 1080 or 4k 120 unfortunately. Granted, at 120 you get some smoothing once you slow it down, but don’t have the added active stabilization. That said, you do still have the gyro stabilization in all modes, which lets you take it into Sony’s Catalyst program and stabilize it very very well. Like gimbal levels. There’s some good videos on that topic out there that are worth checking out
