But, I assume I will still need to use them to follow the 180 degree rule.

Until today I had not adopted your prefence of a higher frame rate. But as I do quicker more action packed edits I've noticed my footage is missing something. Today I filmed 100 fps /200shutter speed & 100fps /320 shutter speed. Wow ! I know it's belated but thanks, awesome advice as usual.

    Great explanation and use cases for sports videography! This clearly articulates the pros and compromises of different frame rates and shutter speeds when filming. What about your timeline fps on the editing side? If you do a 30fps timeline for TV or internet consumption then your 60, 120, or 240fps footage will look increasingly jittery from dropped frames unless you go slow-mo on all of them, but I would think you'd only go slow motion to highlight specific moments. Do you rock a 30fps timeline and let it be jittery during realtime playback so you can speed ramp to beautiful slow motion when desired or use another approach? Thanks!

    Thanks for video but I still don't know how to shoot sport video to "look professional". First: I like cinematic look of 24fps. But for sports is very often no go. I need to film "moving" horses (following by camera) and 24fps creates very "jerky" effect on static parts of the image (like background trees or fences and obstacles that are in focus ... and even on rider, which makes fast small movement up and down). When I need to remove this "jerky" effect I have to produce result video with more fps. 30fps looks a little smoother. 60 fps removes the jerky effect. But I am loosing "cinematic look". Asking for result video fps. Do I have to choose "jerky" cinematic (24fps) or smooth non-cinematic (60 fps)? Or 30 fps is best compromise? Second: When you shoot in 120 fps, what fps you use for result video? You mentioned, that "static" scenes you shoot at 24 fps a dynamic at 120 fps. Does that mean, that you produce 24 fps result video? That means "jerky" cinematic video? In that case, if you do not slow down 120 fps, you just keep only every 5th frame from the original video? So the result it is the same as from 24fps video using 1/250 shutter speed? And additional frames are used only in slow motion? I would appreciate any comments on this. Thank you.

  • @petersarellas

    @petersarellas

    3 жыл бұрын

    First off, nice name. But to actually answer your questions, if I were filming horses, or any fast moving object for that matter, I’d do it in a frame rate no less than 120fps with a shutter no less than 1/250 as your shutter should be 1 over double your frame rate when filming on a conventional photography camera. With regards to your second point, you’re pretty much spot on. If you film at 1080p120 and 1/250 shutter, and then place this on a 24fps timeline, you’re essentially getting the same result as if you had filmed at 1080p24 and 1/250 shutter. This means that (apart from the fact that you may have been able to increase your resolution or get more mb per frame depending your camera had you filmed in 24fps) the 120p 1/250 footage and 24p 1/250 footage will be identical. With regards to the “cinematic” look, this really boils down to using proper shooting techniques. Things like using shutter speed and frame rate that is appropriate to keep the subject of your image clear and visibly, composing the image so that the subject is clear in the frame, exposing your image correctly, etc. Additionally, some people consider shallow depth of field to be cinematic, and you can create a shallow depth of field by using a long focal length, shooting at a low f-stop, and creating space between your subject/focus point and the background, so a combination of these techniques may help you as well. TL;DR: Slow mo v nice, make shutter go fast, blurry background good

    Love the video! I have on thought tough. When you did your calculations, you came up with the following: - 0.83 MB per frame at 1080p 120 fps with a bitrate of 100 Mbps - 4.167 MB per frame at 4K 24 fps with a bitrate of 100 Mbps However, wouldn't it make more sense to compare the amount of pixels per image combined with the bitrate, since 4K has four times the resolution of 1080p? This means that 4K 24 fps would still be superior to 1080p 120 fps, but the difference isn't as big as your calculations suggest. For example, 4K 30 fps would require the same amount of data per pixel as 1080p 120 fps. Your calculation is technically correct, and yes, the image is sharper. However, at first glance, it might appear to be a factor of 5, cuz it is not taking the pixels per image into the calculation. Or am I wrong with that?

  • @petersarellas

    @petersarellas

    Жыл бұрын

    I was just considering the amount of data going into each frame since although there is a similar amount of data per pixel, with the 4K image you’re getting 4 times as many pixels, as you’ve mentioned. When downscaling this 4K image to 1080p resolution it will result in sharper and less noisy images to a degree that I can’t perfectly predict because I just don’t know, so the point was really to drive home that higher resolution footage with a lower frame rate will be sharper than lower resolution footage at a higher frame rate with the same mbps and that people should consider that when making frame rate decisions. I appreciate the thought and you taking the time to watch! I love this stuff and this type of discussion is always appreciated.

    @Peter Sarellas I totally got your point and the 4K Image in your example definitely is sharper. Just tried to figure out if it is actually possible to "calculate" the perfect bitrate per pixel ratio or something like that as a "precise quality calculation" . Not sure about this tough haha 😅 For instance my G85 records 4k fps with 100 mbps and 1080p 60 fps with 28 mbps. Thats almost only 50% of bitrate per pixel, which is a huge difference and even a bigger than in your example :(

    I’ve been watching these videos for 2 weeks as I’m ready to dive into the videography world for my sons 14U AAU basketball team. With the Sony A7IV on the horizon, would you recommend jumping right to that and going with 4k60 video or starting with an A7iii and doing 1080p120? Will be going with the 70-200 f4 lens you recommended with either model. Thanks for the feedback!

  • @petersarellas

    My personal opinion is that for sports, I’d rather have 1080p120 than 4K60, and even if the A7iv can record in 10-bit, I really don’t think that’s very necessary for most purposes. If I were in your position I’d probably start with the A7iii, see how that’s meeting my needs, and then if there’s an urge to upgrade decide to do that at a later time. Mind you, you really can’t go wrong either way here so whatever you pick between those two should be more than capable.

  • @petersarellas

    @petersarellas

    11 ай бұрын

    Natural shutter speed for 60fps is 1/120 (so probably 1/125) and for 120fps it’d be 1/250. For sports specifically I like using a faster shutter speed than this because of the speed of the action and will often use a shutter between 1/320 and 1/500. Whether you use 60fps or 120fps depends on how much storage you have, what you’re filming and if you actually need 120fps or not, and the specific look you’re trying to achieve, among other things, so it’s a decision for you to make on a case-by-case basis using your own experience

    Hi Peter! Great explanation and video. Could you answer me a question please? Let's say I'm recording in 60 fps and the conditions are really bright and I don't have any Neutral Density filter. Would it be a good idea to increase my shutter speed up to ~1/2000 or over to drop the brightness? Also how would that affect the video in a bad way especially if I would like to slow the video down when I'm editing it. Would higher shutter speed help to get rid of the motion blur? Thank you in advance

  • @petersarellas

    6 ай бұрын

    If you were to do what you’re describing it would eliminate all motion blur and make your footage look very “fast”/jittery. I do this to an extent bringing my shutter speed to ~1/400 when filming slow motion for sports, though 1/2000 or higher may be overdoing it. Id recommend if at all possible getting and ND filter to control the light hitting your sensor so that your aperture, iris, and shutter can be used to create the desired effect in your image

    If you have hlg3 use it! Some of the aps-c sensor mirrorless cameras from Sony don’t have hlg profiles so in that case I’d use cine4 since in my opinion it looks pretty good right out of camera. Whatever you do avoid slog at all costs on those 8-bit mirrorless cameras because you won’t have the depth in the colours that you need to really grade it and it might start breaking on you. Usually I expose a full stop over when shooting hlg profiles. Love that you’re enjoying the content!

    Your ISO is very much going to be set on a case by case basis in most situations. I usually set my other settings how I like and then use ISO to get a proper exposure on my image. I do have a certain ISO value that I won’t push past though since beyond there my image gets too grainy (this value will be different for each position depending on the camera body that they’re using and it’s low light performance) so if I reach that value and my image is still underexposed then I will make adjustments like filming at a lower frame rate to allow me to drop my shutter speed and subsequently get more light into my image without boosting the ISO any higher. I hope this helps.

    I’d recommend editing on a 24fps timeline. The thing that gives the jittery effect is the shutter speed, or more specifically the lack of motion blur when filming at high shutter speeds, and that shutter speed will remain at whatever it was when you were filming regardless of the number frames per second. A 24fps timeline will allow you to slow your footage down as much as possible without beginning to look like frames are missing if you’re filming slow motion.
