What were your video specs? I run an a1 and have no clue what I’m doing video wise. I do formula drift photography here in Japan but wanna add a little video to my portfolio
I typically filming in a in 24fps, ISO on 640 or 12800 since that’s the native dual ISOs on the FX3 when shooting in S-LOG3. Also I’m shooting in 4K, 10-bit format with a S-LOG3 color profile for color grading in post. Generally, some people set their shutter speed at twice the speed (or as close as possible if it’s not available) of the frame rate they’re shooting at. 24fps-1/48, 30fps-1/60, 60fps-1/120. I believe the motion blur you get at these settings is “more cinematic”, and the motion blur will look different depending how fast or slow your shutter speed is. But to achieve this, sometimes you may need a Neutral Density (ND) filter to darken the image before it hits your sensor if you want to also keep your aperture wide open for the bokeh effect, otherwise your footage could be overexposed. If you’re just getting started with video, I would stick with 8-bit and with custom picture profile off to reduce the file size and not worry about color grading in post for now. If you’re not shooting in manual, then I would look into how shutter speed, aperture, and ISO affect your video. If you’re already shooting in manual and not really enjoying the look of a fast shutter speed and smaller aperture (1/500 and 5.6 perhaps?), you could pick up a ND or Variable ND filter (different strengths built into 1 filter since lighting conditions could change) to experiment with the motion blur look I mentioned previously
