Canon 60D Cinematic Video Tips

[@nellard9962]

Decided to try out photography/video so I pulled out my old 60d and found your vids I didn't think anyone would still be posting videos about a 10 year old camera lol but your vids are really helping me out! Thanks dude.

[@thejacobbunn]

Love to hear it. Thanks for taking the time to watch one of my vids!

[@elpipi]

So detailed yet to the point explanation. I thought I needed a better camera but your video quality showed me I was wrong

[@thejacobbunn]

Dude I love to hear that! What are you using the camera for?

[@MyKiffLife]

I still love this camera model. it constantly surprises me how well it performs

[@thejacobbunn]

I couldn’t agree more! I owe all my success to the 60D, thanks for watching Marc!

[@Axesent77]

Nice! Had My 60D for 10 years, and now i'm only just starting to use it for video. Great tips. Thankyou!

[@thejacobbunn]

Glad I could help! Hope you’ve had fun with the camera over the years!

[@PrioBak]

I saw a cheap 60d on my local "craiglist"... this makes it worth it

Dude I appreciate it so much, and Nepal?! That’s sweet. I’m from Oregon in the US!

[@DayNightVlogs]

Another fantastic video your on your way to becoming a famous movie director keep it up 👍. What are your thoughts on using flexible tripods such as gorilla pods etc for filming when using them as a handheld stabilizer for motion shots when filming

[@thejacobbunn]

Hey I just want to say I really appreciate your support on each of my videos it truly mean a lot to me that you enjoy the content I make, thank you. I’ve been really interested in trying out a flexible tripod, I have little experience with them but they seem like solid options and I believe they would work fairly well to help stabilize footage when holding it. I’ll have to look into one sometime and let you know how it goes!

[@DayNightVlogs]

@@thejacobbunn Awesome I will be looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Joodbelkin]

So glad i found your channel 🎉 Thank you

[@FotodioxInc]

Nice tips!

[@thejacobbunn]

Thanks a ton I appreciate it!

[@davidelupi6523]

Sorry i just paused at the first tip, guys NEVER ZOOM IN AND THEN ZOOM OUT TO FOCUS, common photography lenses aren't parfocal which means that if you zoom in or out the focus point changes, slightly but changes. Just try to get the best focus with the focal you plan to use by using the magnification button, doing it with the optical zoom might seem better for a fast and almost accurate focus but it'll never be perfect

[@thejacobbunn]

Appreciate you sharing input man! Yeah I always think using the magnification button is the better option but for some lenses being able to zoom in as well works great, but thanks for clearing up that point for people!

[@nex7618]

Great video and tutorials bro, Planning to get myself a new camera, torn between 60d and 80d, can you do a video on 80d also? What would you suggest of the two for filming?

[@thejacobbunn]

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it! I’m actually really tempted to do a video on the 80d. I don’t own one at the moment but know someone who does so I may borrow it for a similar video! For filming the 80d is better because it can shoot 60 FPS, where the 60d can only do 30 FPS. If you’re not trying to spend a lot I think the 60d is more than capable and you can put money into lenses, but if you have the extra money the 80d is essentially a upgraded 60d. It shoots 24.2 megapixel photos has better AF, and the main thing I’d consider is the 60 fps for video. On the other hand though I’ve shot 30 fps and 24 fps and still get great results, just depends where you want to invest your money, both are pretty great!

[@phoebepeek]

great tips. thank you !!

i'm using 60d until now and the Sigma 18-200,Nifty Fifty Lens

[@thejacobbunn]

Huh I’ll have to look at the sigma 18-200, haven’t used it before! Plus I love the nifty fifty, thanks for watching

[@suzynguyen9011]

hi thanks for your video I love how you explain things. I've just bought 60D but haven't been practicing a lot. I do have one question when shooting myself in front of camera I can't get the right focus on my face or body if I stay a few metres from the camera, and 60D doesn't connect with phone, so I need to come to the camera, press it (on countdown) and go to the position but didn't get the focus on my face.

[@thejacobbunn]

Hey Suzy thanks for watching! Yeah that is definitely one of the struggles with the 60D shooting alone. I recommend putting something where you will be standing to get your focus on first (for example I put a lamp or a chair where I’ll be sitting or standing) then I move it out of the way and have my focus!

[@ukiyo6208]

Hey I just ordered 60d and I cant wait to try your tips. Can you please write in which program do you edit your photos and videos? Cheers xx

[@thejacobbunn]

That’s awesome to hear, you’ll really enjoy it. Yeah I personally use Snapseed on my phone to edit most photos but I’ve also used Lightroom some! For video editing I use Final Cut Pro X. If you’re looking for a free video editor hit film express is really solid. Thanks for watching

[@ukiyo6208]

Thank you for the response! That really helps 😊

[@jeffr7752]

Thanks for another great video! It's been a while since I've worked in the field. What stabilizer are you using? Or is that just a tripod? Also, that pooch of yours is awesome! Is that a California shoreline? Oh, and what program are you using to edit your video?

[@thejacobbunn]

Hey thanks again man! I use the Ronin-S stabilizer, haha and thanks he’s a funny guy, he’s actually a pug! I use Final Cut Pro to edit all my videos!

[@SusanneGeert]

Such a great and helpful video! Love your down-to-earth teaching style 💪🏻 I actually have a 60D I haven't been using for 5 years - since I upgraded for the 6D (mrk.1). I have a photography job next week and was thinking about testing out to make a short video for their website landing page as an extra service. Do you think I would be better off using the 60D (due to the flip out screen) than my newer 6D? What free pc program is great for editing a short (like 1-2 minutes) video and what resolution, aspect ratio etc. would be great to save it in when I edit it and upload for website use)? Thanks so much in advance - I am off to watch your other videos 😄

[@thejacobbunn]

Hey thanks so much for the kind words I really do appreciate it! That’s awesome, I think the 60d would be a good option for shooting a video for your client. I use the flip out lcd a lot, personally I think HitFilm Express is a really solid option for free. I would say though with editing software there is a bit of a learning curve so I’d give yourself an extra day to edit and get used to the editor. For exporting I’d stick with 1920x1080, 24FPS, and export it as a .mp4 or .mov, hope this helps!!

[@SusanneGeert]

@@thejacobbunn Thank you Jacob! I will give Hitfilm Express a go but I am (learned from experience...) always very careful where I download these kinds of programs from. Would you please be able to link to the 'right' place to download this software from? Thank you so much in advance!

[@SusanneGeert]

@@thejacobbunn Thank you Jacob. Can I ask what the difference in in fps is for 24, 25 or 30? I am an Denmark (Europe) and I am not sure which is the better for me?

[@thejacobbunn]

Yeah so the FPS is frames per second and most movies are 24 FPS it’s usually the standard because this looks the most natural to the human eye. All my timelines when editing are 24 FPS but for example sometimes I’ll shoot “b-roll” footage at 30 FPS so I can slow it down in editing. So in general I’d suggest shooting at 24 FPS for most projects!

And its work properly if we install battery grip on 60D?

Found a 60d for $300 with a 24-200mm lens… I shoot dirt bikes, cars, and f1 cars, would this camera be good for that. I do video and photos

[@thejacobbunn]

Yeah for photos it would be a solid option! For video it may not be the best because it only does 30 FPS but you could still get some nice shots!

[@youcantubetv9505]

@@thejacobbunn Sure thing. Thanks a lot. You are awesome

[@sonnybrown4758]

0:40 not the best solution as the kit lens is not "parfocal". Meaning the focus plane changes when you zoom in or out.

[@thejacobbunn]

Yeah I definitely suggest the magnification button first but it’s just another option! Appreciate the input and you taking the time to watch

[@carwikiofficial]

How do I transfer my footage on my cannon 60d to my computer or phone (preferably phone). My computer doesn’t have an SD port so I can really only transfer stuff on my phone. What should I do ?

Hey thanks for watching, I’d look into getting a usb to sd card reader for your computer! It’s a good solution

[@alfredrajoo]

Hi what gimbal you use for canon 60D? Most of the gimbal in market is not compatible with 60D, appreciate if you can advise on this thx 🙏

[@thejacobbunn]

Hey thanks for watching! I use the Ronin-S essentials kit. I mainly use it for the stabilization since the 60d is too old for the focus wheel to be compatible. I’ve noticed it really helps to get smooth footage though!

Best filter for kit lens filming??

[@thejacobbunn]

ND filter? I use a variable ND on my kit 18-55mm lens for outdoor shoots and it’s great. I’ll send you the link

[@ganapati6672]

So how about filming on a gimbal while camera folowing a subject or other cam movements? Autofocus does not really work and manual focus you can't see much on the small screen.

[@thejacobbunn]

Great question, it’s not always the easiest but I personally set my focal length a bit higher (f/8 for example) to make sure if the distance I keep for the movement isn’t exact they don’t go out of focus and if so it’s just the slightest amount, that way I can always lower it more. It is difficult though especially when shooting in low light, you have to be a lot more accurate with the camera movements than someone using say a camera with spot on autofocus. Potential try attaching your gimbal to a tripod for more stability.

[@supriabudiman]

you are shooting this video with 60D? what lense?

[@thejacobbunn]

Yep! I used the 50mm 1.8 and 18-55mm kit lens

[@sandyli728]

Hey! I was wondering why my 60D can't go up to 30fps

[@thejacobbunn]

Hey Sandy thanks for watching. It should be able to, you might just be in the wrong settings menu. I’d look around more for the 1080 30fps selection in the menus.

[@dezolatestation]

jacob, should i use fix lens than kit lens of eos60d?

[@thejacobbunn]

It’s all up to personal preference, I think a 50mm 1.8 lens is great but also enjoy the 18-55mm kit lens. I suggest use what you have now and then build up the quality of your gear as you can afford it!

Hey hi! How do you recommend focusing correctly when shooting videos of yourself?

[@thejacobbunn]

Hey Savannah, yeah I personally put an object like a lamp in the shot where I’ll be standing in the video that way I can focus on the object and then move it out of the shot. This was I have focus for where I’ll be since I can’t really focus it myself! If you want an example of what I’m talking about I show it at 3:17 in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4StY3ymfrlklaM

how can we use flash while recording a video on canon 60 d

[@thejacobbunn]

Nicolas Bodé hey thanks for watching, I personally don’t know of any ways to use the built in flash on the camera during a video, I personally just bought a small light off of amazon that mounts onto the top of the camera, it works fairly well because it’s a dimmable light so personally that’s what I suggest if you’re looking for a similar set up!

[@tariqahmed2028]

bro i have a canon 60d and im shooting indoors and im seeing a lot of noise, even at low isos what should i do , im thinking of selling the camera

[@tariqahmed2028]

also im just using kit lens

[@thejacobbunn]

I’d suggest investing in the 50mm 1.8. Shooting at 1.8 allows you to shoot in very little light without noise. Otherwise I’d suggest adding more light to your scene by getting some sort of portable light source!
