Ahoj! This is Zdenka. Let's not waste any time. Let's talk about camera
settings for filming in 24, 30, 60 and 120 fps.
How to import them into 24 frames per second timeline, mix them together
and slow them down in post. Many visual examples today.
If you are new here, welcome. My name is Zdenka Darula. I create photo and video
tutorials, tech reviews and creative camera challenges, so if that's something
you're interested in you might consider hitting the subscribe button. Let's talk
about cameras. Today I will be using 2. Canon M50 which is filming right now
and Canon M6 Mark ii. Those 2 cameras are quite the same. They're
almost the same except this one. M6 mark 2 doesn't shoot
at 24 frames per second and this gave me the idea to create today's video because
I've done a lot of testing last week. Many of us here on YouTube film at 24
frames per second because it looks the most movie like and obviously my
timeline is also 24 frames per second. When you grab Canon M50 and shoot at 24
frames per second your settings will be. You want to double your shutter speed
for the most natural look so it is 1/50th of a second. I usually film lot
outdoors so my ISO is 100 because it is bright and it's very sunny. My aperture
is usually the lowest I can get, so it's F 3.5 which I can get on this kit lens
15 to 45 millimetres. But for that you need an ND filter which will block the
excessive sunlight. I want the F 3.5 because I want myself sharp and I want
the background blurry. I want the beautiful bokeh. Let's talk about filming
at 24 frames per second. If you are planning on doing the panning shots from
left to the right or right to the left or up and down, the
general rule is the less frame rates a second, in this case it's 24 it is not 120
but it's 24 which is less, the slower you want to pan to get a nice slow steady
shot without seeing any jitter. Let's throw 24 frames per second slow
panning shot and 24 frames per second fast panning shot.
Slower panning looks smoother. I sometimes tend to rush as well but it is
important to keep in mind that the slower the better when you are filming
in 24 frames per second. Let's move up and talk about 30 frames per second. If
you're filming at 30 frames per second and putting it on the 30 frames per
second timeline, all is good but if you are filming at 30 frames per second and
mixing it putting it on at 24 frames per second timeline, it's not a very good
idea. But first let's talk about settings. So you're filming at 30 frames per
second, shutter speed has to double which is 1/60th of a second, ISO is
the same if I'm shooting outdoors it's 100 and I'm still keeping the aperture
low which is 3.5 because I want the bokeh blurry background and obviously
I'm still using ND filter to block the sunlight. And when it comes to
panning you still want to do very slow panning because again it is a lower
number of frames per second which is 30. Let's throw 30 frames per second on 24
frames per second timeline and let's see what happens. You will get jitter
because frame rate 30 divided by 24 doesn't give you an equal number. It is 1.25
so that means that 1.25 frame has to be dropped somewhere in that second. Now
what you can do, you can slow it down to 80%. Simply right-click, change it to 80%
and you will see much smoother footage. It will have that little bit dreamy
slowdown look.
Now the problem here is that I have a camera Canon m6 mark ii which doesn't
shoot at 24 frames per second. If I do need just a b-roll where I don't need a
voice then it's okay. I can just slow it down to 80%, I can still use it. It's
gonna be little bit dreamy but if I need a voice with it I am in a trouble.
It's just not gonna work and make you totally laugh, let's shoot 30 frames per
second and actually slow it to 80%. How do you
like my voice now? So how do you like this voice? A little bit sexy right? Well
believe it or not it sounds, it's me. Halloween is coming up, Halloween is
coming up. How do you like this sound, huh? Don't worry I had a good laugh over this
too. So what I did, I switched to PAL to sort of
go around it. So here I get 25 frames per second which is the closest I can get. I
shoot the footage in PAL, that's 25 then before I put it on 24 frames per second
timeline, I interpret the footage to 23.976, press ok and then add it to
timeline. I did that in my past video where I needed just few clips from this
camera as I was talking about Canon M50. Moving up to 60 frames per second and
let's talk about camera settings. Now since you're filming at 60 frames per
second, you need to double your shutter speed and it's 1/125th of a second. If
I'm shooting outdoors, ISO is the same. It's 100. Aperture if I want a lot of bokeh is
the same F 3.5 but I need to ease up a little bit on the ND filter because I
need to let more light in. This time if you are shooting in low-light conditions
and you want to shoot slow motion you will introduce more grain to the camera
because the shutter speed is much faster. You're letting less light into your
camera so it's something to keep in mind if you are planning on shooting slow-mo
in low-light. It is the best to get a lot of light. You will need a lot of light.
Let's talk about panning. Now you can pan a little bit faster. We are not shooting 24,
30 frames per second, we are shooting 60 so it's higher number and therefore you
can pan a bit faster to get smooth shot.
Let's throw footage shot at 60 frames per second on 24 frames per second
timeline and let's see what happens.
It's a bit jittery because if you divide 60 by 24 it is not a whole number. 60
divided by 24 is 2.5, that means that 2.5 frames has to be dropped somewhere in
that one second. What you can do you can slow it down to 80 percent or 40 percent.
60 x 0.4 gives you 24. 24 divided by 24 is 1 which is whole number. Let's look
at both examples. First let's slow it down to 80 percent. Just add to Timeline,
right click slow down at 80 percent.
Second one which looks nicer and is more slower and actually ideal as 24 divided
by 60 is 0.4 which is 40%. So let's slow it down to 40%. Again add it
to timeline, right-click and slow down to 40% and here is the result. Last we need
to talk about 120 frames per second. The buttery slow motion everybody
likes so much. Camera settings first. You need to double
the shutter speed because you are shooting at 120 frames per second so
it's 1 250th of a second. If I'm shooting outdoors, the ISO is the same. Since I
like the bokeh, I keep the aperture same F/3.5 but I need to ease up more on
the ND filter because I need to add more light in to the camera's sensor, so again
if you're shooting super slow motion and very low light conditions, you'll get a
lot of grain. It's not a very good idea. You need a lot more light to get in to
your camera. Something to keep in mind and because it is much higher frame rate
120 frames per second, when it comes to panning you can pan much
faster. It's not the problem there. You will get a very smooth footage.
Let's throw 120 frames per second footage on 24 frames per second timeline
and see what happens.
There is no jitter because 120/24 is 5 which is whole number. Now you can
slow them the footage up to 20%. How do we know? 24 divided by 120 is 0.2 which
is 20%. So last time, let's right-click and change the speed to 20%.
