Unlike most commentators, yourself included, I like the look of 50fps: I don't think it looks cheap or digital at all. In a complex moving environment (such as a travel road trip, cityscapes, markets, but even less hectic places such as nature) it brings scenes to life. In fact I think 24fps looks old-fashioned and almost dreamy, and I definitely hate the look of 24fps during panning. Of course, I'm not a professional and only have myself (and my family and friends) to please. But I do agree with the idea of keeping the same framerate throughout, from filming to delivery. By the way, I hate the term "cinematic" with a passion !
Agreed! 24fps is too choppy for faster movements especially panning. 30fps handles motion way better with a smoother video and is fast becoming the standard especially for RU-vid
@@JasonRobertsVideo I didn’t state it IS the new standard as that requires empirical verifiable statistics. I view hundreds of RU-vidrs many of whom agree that things are evolving and 30p vs 24p is one of those to do with RU-vid and 60hz displays.
Very well explained and articulated. I have such a slow learning going over the curves of filmmaking being a photographer, especially when it comes to shutter speed. Thankful for this awesome, free education, honestly... wasn't even explained this well in film school. Thank you, Jason!
About the 180 degree shutter rule. My experience (your mileage may differ) is that it is only really relevant at slower framerates such as 24 or 30fps. If, like me, you prefer faster framerates (I use 50fps) then you can give shutter speed a lot more leeway. The upside of this is that you don't have to fool around with ND filters while you miss the shot !
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I would like to have a better understanding of slowing down a video. For example, if I shoot in 60 FPS, do I put in on a 60 FPS timeline and reduce speed by 50%, or am I supposed to place it on a 30 FPS timeline. I am sure the answer is simple and would love a Jason Robert's explanation!
Your editing timeline framerate should lower that the footage you want to give the slow motion effect to. In your case timeline = 30, footage = 60 (reduced speed by 50%)
Is there an issue in DaVinci Resolve if the timeline is 24FPS but the footage is 23.976FPS? Just a difference of 0.024 frame. As you pointed out, Resolve won't "create" a missing frame until what, every 42± seconds or so? Or maybe never since you said it can only interpolate a complete 1.0 frame. My head is spinning. Is there an issue with the audio linked to the video in this tiny discrepancy? I mean how long would the clip have to be before it would be noticeably out of sync? Thank you, really appreciate this video.
I think what you might notice depends on what settings you choose - there's a great in-depth discussion here: forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=127052
So when editing, if i have most of my clips in the timeline as 24fps and I'm going to export as 24fps, what will happen to the say the few 60fps clips I have in the timeline I will be slowing down? Will they be effected by the 24fps export settings?
