Can I just say thank you for listing your shutter speed. That's probably one of the most important aspects of gryo, and you'd be surprised how many people say "use a high shutter speed" without going into any detail about what they used and what they find works best for certain situations. Great video
@3:10: "There is this unwanted motion blur which is coming from my talents ..." - What do you mean by that? Basically you intentionally set the shutter speed way faster than what you would normally do for video to get crisp single frames which gyro stabilization apparently needs to get stabilized footage and later add back some motion blur in post to make up for it. Why is that even necessary when the camera knows exactly how you moved around based on the gyro data? Apparently the sony gyro stabilization not only relies on the gyro data but also information within the frame, otherwise the shutter speed should not matter to get the results. What kind of shutter speed do you need to get very good results with gyro stabilization then? Does something like 1/125 or 1/250 also have good results or do you need something like 1/1000? Obviously it depends on how fast your subjects are moving within the frame, but basically in order to really freeze movement like you showed in that clip perfectly you probably would need 1/2000 or 1/4000 for photos so even 1/1000 is not perfectly crisp. Not always there is the sun out and it is right in the afternoon with tons of light, so it's interesting how fast of a shutter would be necessary without having to crank up the iso into ridiculous levels to ensure shutter speeds like this.
Not sure exactly, but the shutter speed does matter. I meant that Catalyst Browse seems to have trouble with keeping resolution and stabilizing without using a higher frame rate and so it causes some unwanted motion blur because of that. Why that is, I don't know. That's a good question for Sony. It totally depends on how much the camera is shaking. The less you think you'll be moving the camera around, the slower you can make the shutter speed. I find that when I use it, I set my shutter speed anywhere from 1/500 to 1/1000 and it does the trick. Slap some motion blur on it in post and it's fine. It's not ideal, but when you really need stabilization in a pinch, it works great.
Catalyst as far as i understand doesn't use the information in the frames, the reason for a high shutter speed is it can't correct baked in motion blur. For example say he has it set to 1/50 and he jerks the camera a bit to the left, catalyst will see that he jerked the camera a bit and fix the framing by moving it to the right but since he had a normal ~180 shutter angle there is still motion blur baked in the frame from the jerk. When you crank up that shutter speed so you no longer get motion blur that's no longer a problem, its not actually stabilizing better you just don't have motion blur on things that are no longer moving in the frames after stabilizing.
Great, thanks for the video! 2 Questions: 1. Does Catalyst Browse work with Gyro on M1 Macs already? 2. Can't the gyro also be applied to (non-active) Steadyshot recordings? You say that all steadyshot settings need to be off. You sure?
You're welcome! I'm not sure about M1 Macs but I don't see why not. I don't think it would affect Catalyst Browse's ability to stabilize. And yep! I'm sure! You'll have issues if you keep on steadyshot
Ahh this is so awesome! Been using the gopro version of this called reelsteady go for all my fpv stuff for a few months and it truly is genius software so I'm happy that this is in the sony a7s3 as its game-changing for those times when you just want to go out with your camera and one lens to shoot and not have to take a bulky gimbal. Great video explaining it as well mate.
Love this - Im getting a A7C soon and this is such a handy feature when I don't want to pack and balance a gimbal. I watched the "everything man" he also grades his clips initially in catalyst browse.
Right? So so handy. I just shot something yesterday actually and needed to quickly get a smooth shot but I had already put away my gimbal. So I just decided to set the shot up for stabilization in post. Quick and easy. I’ll end up adding some motion blur on it and it’ll look fine
@@markshirley01 I’d suggest the software I suggested in the video, ReelSmart Motion Blur. I played around with the demo and just purchased the real thing. It really works well
Awesome! I totally forgot about the higher shutter speed so good to know. And sometimes i forget to take all the stabilization on the camera off lol just have to remember
@@dylanjohndickerson hi Dylan, slog 3, Intra 4k….when I export it from Catalyst remains in logarithmic, is a mxf file not mp4. When I import it with FCPX, the log look disappears……no lut, no nothing works….
It should stay in S-Log unless you change some settings in Catalyst Browse to convert to a REc 709 color space (I'm not sure if that's possible. I'll have to check later)
Great video, as usual, Dylan, thanks. It's worth mentioning that this gyroscopic feature is also available on footage from the ZV-1 and the RX0 II. Both popular 1 inch sensor cameras that I use a lot.
@@acrfactor Just found a way to gyro stabilize also vintage manual lenses with catalyst browse. I made a small video for it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8pLjyXGWB6k.html
@@SimonWilliamHeinzVideo Thanks Simon for your tip that could be very useful. Now a advice on your video, don't look away from the viewer when you're talking. The communication it's supposed to have eye contact. If you're reading, get the notes close to the camera lens, that way your eyes don't look so further away like you are avoiding the viewer. Keep up the good work👍
I tested the feature and 1/250 works well you don’t need to go 1/1000.. but i prefer to buy a gimbal. It can be used in addition of gimbal with normal shutter speed 1/50 to stabilize even more. Without a gimbal, i find too dangetous to shoot without ibis and with 1/250 it reduce the light and increase iso. You can use gyro at normal speed and ibis on with the gimbal (Brandon Li tested that with the crane m3). It makes sense as the footage will be already stabilized at 90% then the motion blur are limited which make it usable for gyro stabilization for the final 10%.
Ya you're in a tough position there. Try and make your shutter much slower than I suggested then. Maybe even just increase the speed a little. So if you're shooting 24p, instead of the 'normal' 1/50, maybe try 1/80 or so. You may be able to get away with it. It all depends though.
It should be! I don’t know the technical terminology but I believe the metadata is embedded into every shot. So long as you can bring it into Catalyst Browse.
I've noticed this as well...always wonder why the tutorials to say to disable all stabilization. Beyond avoiding the crop, maybe it adds additional warp?
@@dylanjohndickerson thats good but many people wondering why the exporting 8 bit after stabilsation and to export in XAVC Intra is a way to preserve the 10 bit from your xavcs files :-)
@@dylanjohndickerson ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-39XSVW_X_PY.html This guy mentioned that the 10 bit isnt real 10 bit have you any thoughts about that?
@@dylanjohndickerson Do you pay for Catalyst preparation? Says it's required for XAVC S Intra and Long 422 10 bit export. Maybe it was free when you made this a year ago?
As I mentioned in the video, I believe you have to turn it off. However, I feel like I have had my lens stabilization on at times and gyro stabilization worked. I’ll give it a test soon and let you know.
