How to avoid grainy footage

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

VIDEO EDIT | I forgot to mention in the video that Speed Boosters only work if your lens is built for a larger sensor than the one on your camera. So, unfortunately you can't use them with native lenses.

[@russccc6227]

Thanks for the info. I never knew what a speed booster was before today.

Thank you very much, I learned more from you in less than 6 minutes, than I have over a 3 year span, just surfing KZbin. New Subscriber here.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thanks for this awesome feedback 👊🏽

[@bjazz68]

You're right, it's scary trying to manipulate these settings even on an Android phone using a 3rd party camera app. But it does make a difference, (not pretending I totally get it at this point!), but at least now I know that it is something that must be explored and understood to get the best filming results, especially when working indoors. Thank you very much 🙂

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

That's music to my ears! 🙏🏽

[@lauriannepilon9606]

Hey E! I would love to see a "how to make a demo reel", like what kind of footage is best suited, how to edit a demo reel, etc. Love your videos!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

That's a great video idea. I'll look into it. Thanks

[@swuvyprod]

Filmed my first game last week, super grainy. Thank u bro

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

No worries, I hope this info will make a difference in your next game. Keep me posted.

[@keylloyd9167]

We gotta blow your channel up. I threw my first video together in a week using your filming and editing advice and got a side gig with a local rec organization now.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

That’s awesome, congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@jabbaweezy]

I'm 4 years in and I still suck lol I started shooting in auto, being lazy for years 2-4. Now I'm focusing on really learning the ins and outs of the these settings because before I was too overwhelmed and needed time to grasp why shots came out the way they did.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

We all go at our own pace. The main thing is to keep learning and improving.

[@natelandever1354]

This video is so helpful! I just shot my first game with a camera and I realized when I got home the footage was grainy.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Glad I can help, let me know how you go next time after watching this video.

No one likes the grain 👍 Thats the most common thing we get asked too. Great video 🔥

[@TheBruiser86]

Hey! Great video. I just started recording indoor pickleball on my Samsung S21 Plus. I'm not trying to do anything professional, but when recording at 4k 60fps, the footage is coming up a bit fuzzy. The ISO and shutter speeds were set to automatic, which I realize is part of the problem. What would you recommend for a reasonably well lit gym? Thanks!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

You need to learn how to expose properly so that you can adapt to any situation because every situation is different. There's no way I can know exactly what you need to do if I'm not in the elements. But filming at 60fps will automatically make your shutter speed higher than in 30fps. So, to make up for that, the ISO goes up and consequently your image gets noisier.

[@TheBruiser86]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Hey, thanks for the reply! I certainly don't expect some magic bullet, in terms of perfect settings, but tips like this is great. I think I'll try a max of 800 ISO and a shutter speed of 1/250 next time and see how that goes. If the image is too dark, I would try dropping the shutter speed. Let me know if you have any other thoughts - cheers!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@TheBruiser86 Sounds good to me!

Metabone makes some good ones for Sony e-mounts.

[@aprilespinoza88]

Do you have a video like this but for photography?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It’s the same thing. Low ISO and slower shutter speed.

[@mollydonahoe5220]

Why shouldn't editors zoom in past 100% if they're shooting 4K? Sounds like that's defeating half the purpose of shooting in 4K.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

4K footage in a 1080p sequence is only 50% of its original size. So, you can zoom in until you reach 100% without losing any quality but passed 100%, that's when the quality starts to suffer. Does that make sense?

[@MMillerPCs]

What camera do you use when you’re doing your professional work? I know you talk about budget cameras but which one do you currently use?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I currently use a Sony FX3.

[@leveloneej1858]

Im doing everything but my footage is still grainy for some reason😵

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

If you are in fact filming at the native ISO of your camera, what you're seeing is not noise or grain. It's probably bad exposure or simply bad image quality.

[@leveloneej1858]

@@BeyondTheGame_E yes I think its bad exposure, because especially in the dark areas there are some artefacts and I'm using the sony kit lense which isn't that great. Thanks for the reply:) How would you expose the profile HLG 3?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@leveloneej1858 I would just try to keep the multi metering at 0 I think. But at the end of the day, low light is low light. You can't perform miracles.

[@leveloneej1858]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Alright thanks for the advice

[@natelandever1354]

Does 60fps look less smooth in normal speed then 120 because i looks more jittery to me even when using a shutter speed double my frame rate

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It should be the other way around to be honest. What frame rate are you using for your editing timeline?

[@natelandever1354]

@@BeyondTheGame_E I edit on mobile😬 but just seeing it through the camera screen 60fps looks less smooth

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@natelandever1354 Even on mobile your timeline (or sequence) has a frame rate. The way it looks in you camera doesn't mean much because it will look one way in a 30fps sequence and a much different way in a 60fps sequence.

[@natelandever1354]

@@BeyondTheGame_E are you referring to the frame rate which I export with?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@natelandever1354 Yes but that frame rate should be set before you start editing, not at the end when you export.

If these are the solutions, I'm stuck having a Canon Legria HF G50. The quality is sooooooooooooo bad. Pixelation is insane on my camera

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

When you say pixelation, what do you actually mean? Is it when you zoom in?

[@winnieoriana4398]

@@BeyondTheGame_E I've figured out it is called Pixel Level Flickering. It's hard to find examples on You-Tube on the Canon Legria HF G50 indoor filming. The best example I could find is Vixia HF G70 used indoor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jau5nGOhftaLmLs (further on, look at the dark road 1:56 and make sure you have the You-Tube settings at 4K) My indoor filming is placed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHLagJKVg9igf5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHLagJKVg9igf5Y I'm not talking about what happens after 9 seconds on that one. That's Pinnacle FF stuff up. This is all taken with the ND filter on automatic. So I've put that one off and it looks like my colors are getting better that way. If I throw salt over a dark surface. It's creating it's own grains of salt.😀 Thanks so far...

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@winnieoriana4398 Hey Winnie, I couldn't see your video because it is set to private. But looking at the other one you shared, you're basically talking about noise (or grain). Camcorders typically have much smaller sensors than mirrorless cameras and the smaller the sensor, the more noise you'll see in low light conditions. Unfortunately there's not much you can do about that other than using a small light on top of your camera when you can, and only push up the gain on your camera if you absolutely need to.

[@winnieoriana4398]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Sorry, I've just set it on public. (first 9 seconds show a lot) > then Pinnace messes up that part > The rest Filming inside with daylight at 4 o'clock with open garden doors with a $ 1.000,- camera!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@winnieoriana4398 yeah I can see what you mean about the first 9 seconds. But I don't really see it after that though. To be honest, I haven't used a camcorder in at least a decade so I wouldn't have a clue what that is. But maybe it's just a setting or two in your sequence or project that doesn't align properly with the footage settings.
