Best shutter speed for sports videos

My entire sports videography career I shot sports using the 180° shutter rule that all videographers obey by. But 15 years later I now realise that I've been shooting the wrong way this entire time.
Setting the shutter speed to double the frame rate all the time turned out to be a big mistake...

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thanks to Peter Sarellas for teaching this old dog some new tricks.

[@bakerfx4968]

For sports it makes sense to have less motion blur. The 180 rule comes from cinematic filming days with rotating shutters and is meant for the cinematic look.

[@XVIIsionsProductions]

I film a lot of motocross and when I film I’m usually running at 120fps and 1/400-1/800 love it.

[@stfncreatormodeon]

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

Thanks for this video. I was just reviewing some footage I shot in yesterday at a soccer game, and I was going to use some of your hype reel techniques. I found that the footage, especially when cropped in became to blurry especially when you want to slow everything down to actually look good. So then I was like ... hmmm maybe I should shoot with less motion blur. Did a search for "what shutter degree angle sports video" and your awesome video came up. I hadn't heard the term overcranking, so nice to have some vocab to describe it. Today I'll be back at the pitch and give overcranking a shot. Fortunately I'm shooting mid day so I should have plenty of light to keep the iso down. Thanks again for the great content. I really love your hype reel videos. Would love to see some more edit breakdowns.

[@davepetersen6975]

Question for you, this week I picked up the zve10 on your recommendation and then a used A7iii because I am torn on wanting a full frame. Also bought a Sony 18-105 G which is a crop sensor lens. Sending back that lens with the idea to buy a full frame to use on both cameras while I decide which body to keep. I want to be incognito shooting hoops from the stands and behind the backstop for baseball for my HS player. What IBIS lens would you recommend? I saw your sports lens recommendation video for tamron but no IBIS on those…….awesome videos btw, thank you for sharing all the tips!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you for the feedback. Filming from that far you’ll need a 70-200mm. The Sony f2.8 and f4 both have image stabilization.

[@billshepherd7806]

That was really interesting!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Glad you think so 😊

[@artnelsoncreative]

Really excellent video. I like the way you explain things. The question I have is what setting do you use for the deliverable for sports videos- 24p, 30p. 60p, or 120P. Thanks!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I’m in Australia so I mostly deliver in 25fps. So in 🇺🇸 the equivalent would be 24 or 30.

[@RayMarzFilms]

I always overcranck my sport footage. It also makes post stabilizing better

[@smiffywildlife]

Great upload 👌In your opinion, would this overcranking method be suitable for birds in flight or fast action animal behaviour, personally I think it should but you have first hand knowledge. Your input would be appreciated. Phil🇬🇧

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The concept is the same. The birds will look much sharper but the lack of motion blur might make the movements look a bit jittery. You should just test various shutter speeds and see which look you prefer.

[@biggbrah]

good video and comparison

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you 😊

[@dinoc]

What shutter speed do you recommend for Iphone 13 Pro and FilmicPro app, filming at 60-fps FullHD (using ND filter), should I follow the 180 degree rule and use 1/120 shutter speed or should I over-crank the shutter speed like 1/480 or what do you recommend? Trying to film some soccer actions for my son and post them on social media (youtube, instagram)? I'm editing them on DaVinci Resolve but I don't know it the final edited movie should be delivered at 60fps for youtube/insta or at 30fps?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

In theory the fact that it’s a phone shouldn’t make any difference. You can crank the shutter speed to achieve that sharper look or not if you prefer a more natural one. But in saying that, I’ve never actually filmed sports with a phone so this is not a proven theory, just an assumption.

[@MarcoRompiettiOfficial]

Hi, I found your channel now and I am really impressed with the quality of your footage. I signed up and will now get all your videos back. I make football videos in Italy, I resume the matches with commentary and then I edit the highlights on KZbin (amateur football). Right now I'm confused after so many years about the settings to use. Over the years with the Sony a6500 (lens 16-55 2.8) I film the last games at 100fps 1/200 and ISO 3200 (otherwise it would be too dark). In addition to some annoying noise there is also a not beautiful crop and the quality on the sonya6500 loses some. So a week ago I went back to using 50fps with 1/100 but thanks to this video… I think I'll go back to 1/200. I also do replays on goals or in main actions. Do you recommend that I also try 1/300 or higher? Thanks for your attention!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The faster your shutter speed is, the darker your image gets. Which I assume you know and that's why you went back to filming at 50fps and 1/100 shutter speed. So yes, a faster shutter speed might look cool, especially for your slowmo content, but if you have to push the ISO so high that your image becomes very noisy, it might not be worth it.

@@BeyondTheGame_E always welcome

[@RayTheVideoGuy]

I’ve always overcranked for sports (240), as long as the light is good. Only downside is in sports like baseball, you can “loose the ball”

[@millecinematics]

What about in an outdoor stadium setting at night with decent lighting on the feild but around the outside is pretty dark ? High school type stadium.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It’s the same concept.

[@CeenMedia]

So if I want to combine 50 FPS footage look in post, with a 24 FPS cinematic footage of pregame etc, how is that best done within my editing project?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Create a 24fps timeline. You can then use your 50fps footage at normal speed or slow it down to 50% of the original speed.

[@Irastorza10]

Thank you for the video. I’m curious what you think is the highest ideal shutter speed and still look good when shooting 30p 4k. Maybe 120? I think I have 70 mb resolution at 4K

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

There’s no recipe per say. What looks good or bad to me might be different for you. But personally I wouldn’t overcrank much if I was filming at 30fps. 1/120 would be the absolute maximum I would go and even that sounds scary to me. The lack of motion blur looks much worst at normal speed than in slow motion so at 30fps there’s not much of an upside to this technique.

[@shotzsmith4854]

beyond the game i have a question. i have a aviation channel and i film air shows which could be harder than sports videos. i would like to know from you should i use a tripod with a monitor or a monopod. what do you think cause with your sports your just left to right while im looking up and down

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

We have to move up and down in sports too. People move towards and away from the camera all the time so we adjust in all directions, not just left to right. But to answer your question, a tripod will always be your more stable option. And at an air show you probably won’t be moving a lot because you would have to go quite far to affect your perspective so there’s no point in using a monopod if your are going to be stationary.

[@putchina]

Hello, Would you advise me to shoot a football match in 60fps or 120fps to get the most clear image with my Nikon Z6II? Many Thanks!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Depends what you mean by clear. If you're talking about image sharpness, frame rate doesn't really affect that. But if your goal is to have a more vivid look instead of cinematic, you need to edit and export a 60fps sequence. And your footage has to be either 60 or 120fps.

[@coachgeorge_30]

You were shooting a basketball game with a Canon EOS r camera, I think you mentioned. How did you get past the 15min timer or the overheat barrier? The video looked great, did you shoot in 4k or 1080? What lens did you use? I want to shoot Youth Soccer in 4k with an R7 or R6, R5 and can't go over 60fps with my Canon gear without an overheat situation. I have a full set of Canon L Zoom lenses to use. I had considered increasing the shutter speed to at least 1/500 however when shooting stills at that shutter speed, I still get motion blur at the players feet. I find I need to shoot at least at 1/750 however I have never seen anyone talk about this until you. Everyone else is concerned with video blogging and cinematic look and feel etc. Thanks. You also looked as if you were holding the camera while shooting as well as using a tripod. Do you change focus points using the lcd? Great Video, thanks!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Oh boy that's a lot of questions! 😂 I was shooting with a Canon EOS R. The recording time limit is 30 minutes though not 15 but, either way, I rarely record clips much longer than 2 minutes when filming sports. I was filming at 1080/50p and had no overheating issues whatsoever. I don't think I ever had overheating issues with that camera. I used a 24-70mm lens I believe and I was mostly on autofocus but sometimes I do use manual focus if I'm staying on one particular player. Regarding photography, the faster your subject is moving, the faster your shutter speed should be if you want sharpness around your subject. So when shooting most sports, you should be at least at 1/1000 or maybe 1/800 if it's kids.

[@michaelcruz5521]

Update firmware and change your settings to hi temp, overheating resolved. Also, if you record to an external monitor, you can record unlimited 4kHQ 60 on the R5/R6 mkii.

[@coachgeorge_30]

@@michaelcruz5521 Recording to an external monitor/ssd does not allow me to change focus points. Not important when you can position yourself where the player is ultimately heading, very important when videoing outside on a large field with 22 players. My firmware is updated and I tried that. Depending upon the temp outside where I shoot, it still shuts down. I find that with "L" glass, 1080 and 100fps I get good results. Thanks

[@danh2716]

Old post, I know, but wondering, do you ever try to shoot "non action" (coach talking to the players during timeout) guys just starting to get out on the court, etc. at the slower 180 degree shutter? Or do you shoot it all at the higher shutter speed? Does it make a noticeable difference in your experience?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I shoot everything at the same shutter speed and it doesn't really make any difference to be honest.

[@MvalzCreative]

NBL1 is elite!

[@HessRoyale]

Heaps of amateur sports filmographers need to watch this

[@themarksmanABP]

It's funny you made a video on this. I shoot stills and do short slow motion clips of dogs sprinting and jumping logs etc. When I use S&q mode, I find the slo mo footage looks better if it's a fair bit higher than the 240 fps 180° degree rule. It ends up super sharp but still smooth compared to the motion blur and slo mo. Hmmm

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah that's usually the case but it's a fine line though. If you go too far then it starts looking jittery. Not so much in S&Q or if slowed down afterwards, more so when you play the footage at normal speed.

[@themarksmanABP]

@@BeyondTheGame_E oh ye deffo. Watching your vids has made me think... I may be better off shootimg at 60fps for the smooth and life like look. Just due to the specific nature of what I do whilst also keep cranking up shutter on slo mo clips. Great channel

It's really hard for me to know without being there to look at your screen while the lights are on. My advice is to test it on a few shots pre-game and look at the results on your computer later.

[@activeproduction5333]

Generally I think people don't care. I think us as videographers CareMore. 95% of the time go with the 180 rule. If I want that fast paced shot I trun it up. We are creators, there are no rules..🎥🔥

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

You’re not wrong.

[@mattboggs6304]

I still prefer the 180 degree rule. Overcranking and frame rates of 60+ in full speed will likely end up being the future, but for me they just don't look right. An exception would probably be overcranking gritty things like UFC or boxing, I think for those it would actually be pretty good.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Fair call.

[@FixAhmad]

hi there. how to prevent the video from flickering when we set the shutterspeed higher than 100 or above?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

First of all, you have to make sure you are filming in the right electrical cycle for the country that you’re in (NTSC/PAL). But if you still have flickering, the only thing you can do is to slow down your shutter speed or use proper studio lights instead of normal lights. Otherwise there are plugins that you can buy to remove the flicker in post but I don’t know them.

When you have a very fast shutter speed, you might see some banding because the shutter speed can't sync with the refresh rate of the lights. There's nothing you can do about it other than slow down your shutter speed. But if you see flicker, that might be because you're using the wrong frequency (NTSC vs PAL).

[@alzibaba]

Really? I used to use a GH5s and it's definitely there. If the GH5 menu's the same, go to the Movie M menu and scroll to SS/Gain Operation. Choose Angle/ISO for shutter angle, or SEC/ISO for shutter speed. Best off using shutter angle for video though. Then in manual video mode, you control the shutter angle/speed using the top right rear scroll wheel - at least that's how I have mine set up. You may need to assign shutter speed/angle to one of the cam controls.

Sports as far as I know even on TV has been overcranked to 90 degree or even 45 degree shutter angle for many many years, its not a new thing, its been there for years - I remember my early days in film school being taught this and seeing it in many early youtube videos. You can even go far back to the days of TV before cable and satellite and see examples of that. The 180 degree rule is from cinema to give that choppy blurry look and its not how the eye sees in real life - Your eyes will see something more differently - The reason why we still have the 180 degree rule for film is purely aesthetical - nothing to do with it being realistic, because it isn't realistic.

I’d like to see this technique but in real time! 24 fps

[@bettadenu7]

So you’re doing 25fps and doing a shutter speed of 400 ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

No on that day I was doing a few different tests but typically I shoot at 100fps and 1/400.

[@AurelianIrimia]

Great video! I personally shoot all my “normal” videos in 90 degrees and 45 degree for action and sport. I don’t like the 180 degrees rule, to much motion blur. And for slow motion clip, 180 degrees is a desastre. Who want to see slow motion clips blurry? I think people have to forget this 180 degree rule, the people perception is changing

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Nothing wrong with your approach, great way to develop your own unique style .

[@TheShockwave44]

Why are you shooting at f2.0 and not a higher aperture? You'll have too much focus racking.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Did you not like the way it looked?

[@CosmoVlog]

Rules are meant to be broken

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Preach 🙌🏽

[@xilefx]

why would you shoot 50fps when you play it back in real time. the 180 shutter speed makes no sense that way.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

First of all, your comment is a bit weird considering that this video is specifically about NOT using the 180 shutter speed rule. But either way, when filming sports with the intention of editing hype reels that include speed ramping, you have to film everything at a high frame rate because there's no way to predict what's going to happen and if you'll want to slow it down in post or not.
