[@AdithyanP-u2s]

I was actually unaware that A7IV can do 120fps in 10bit, this opens lots of possibilities, but I ran into an issue. I shot some footages in 120fps in s&q mode thats 24fps x5. so how do I bring back those footages into normal speed in premiere?? my guess is 500% speed!!

[@benediktmeyer]

Once you import the footage into Premiere, you can drag it onto a 24 fps timeline, and it will automatically adjust the playback speed to match the timeline. However, if you want to further adjust the playback speed, you can use the speed/duration function in Premiere to speed up or slow down the footage as needed. Another Methode is to interpret the footage: "interpret footage." Here are the steps to follow: Import the footage into your Premiere project. Right-click on the footage in the Project Panel and select "Modify > Interpret Footage." In the "Modify Clip" dialog box, change the frame rate to the normal speed you want to play the footage at. In your case, you want to play it at 24fps, so set the "Assume this frame rate" option to 24. Click "OK" to close the dialog box, and your footage will now play at the normal speed.

What will be the shutter speed if i use only 2x slower?

[@benediktmeyer]

shutter speed remeins the same 1/250, you have to change it to 50 % in your editing sofware

[@lonceysbusiness333]

Cheers much most helpful plus easyliest to follow Sony camera tutorial on S&Q mode so far, however why would you want to film in 24fps wouldn't that come out looking choppy on a TV screen with 60/120hz refresh rate? 😊❤

[@benediktmeyer]

thanks for watching :) 24 fps gives you natural motion blur

[@AaronAbernethy]

Almost everyone is shooting for the web these days, and every decent monitor/screen can do a natural 24fps. Besides that most TVs have decent conversion - every movie you’ve ever watched was shot in 24fps - do they look choppy on your TV?

Hi, awesome video! I have a question. What is rec frame rate compared to normal frame rate setting. Like why is rec frame rate 24p then frame rate is 120p?

[@benediktmeyer]

Hi, thank you! it is the framerate which you want your timeline to be in.

[@naturestheticz]

@@benediktmeyer thank you for replying! Last question. If youre working on a 24 rec fps timeline, does that mean you can mix both 24 fps and 120fps footage? Sorry if its a dumb question, im getting the a7iv in february haha 😅

[@benediktmeyer]

@@naturestheticz you can ask as many questions as you want :D yes you can, if you drop 120 fps footage in the 24 fps timeline, it converts to 24 fps, and if you import 24 fps footage it stays 24 fps, if you want slomotion you change the speed of the 120 fps to like 20 %

[@naturestheticz]

@@benediktmeyer ahhh okay i get it now. Thank you so much for the help! 💯

[@gracesmith5021]

Is the S&Q slow motion comparable to A7S3? I almost always shoot slow motion, I was thinking to get this one or wait for the ZVE1. What would you advise. I dont shoot more than a few minutes per shot

Hab mal ne Frage ... Wenn ich bei der neuen Sony a7cii im S&Q Mode bin, wird dann die fertige Datei mit 4k60p auf der Speicherkarte abgespeichert? Ich muss also quasi nichts mehr in einem Schnittprogramm verlangsamen, ich habe die fertige 4k60p Slow Motion Datei schon in der Kamera? Danke und Frohe Ostern

[@benediktmeyer]

Wenn du die "Aufahme-Bildfrequenz" auf 24p stellst, dann ist die Aufnahme bereits verlangsamt, wenn du sie im Schnittprogramm in eine 24p Timeline ziehst. Danke dir auch

[@RCGJR_]

When shooting in S&Q mode should i double the speed (shutter speed) of the “Rec frame rate” or double the “frame rate”?

[@benediktmeyer]

Always base your shutter speed on the recording frame rate to achieve the desired motion blur effect. If you're recording at a high frame rate for slow-motion playback, ensure the shutter speed is double that high frame rate.

[@eddierooms]

Can this be achieved with the A7RV?

[@DJBOWD3Y]

Why dont you record in 120 and the frame rate also 120?

[@israelaero3249]

[@m3d137]

Hi Benedikt. I was wondering why are you using a low recording frame rate(24) instead of a higher one(like 60). Thanks

[@benediktmeyer]

Hi, because i am working in a 24p timeline in my editing software, i do not want all clips out of camera to be slowed down. in the 24 p timeline i can choose which clips i want slower and bring it down by reducing the speed to around 20 percent

[@m3d137]

@Benedikt Meyer what a quick reply, thank you, I really appreciate it. I have an A1 and trying to achieve the best s&q quality. I'm working with 60fps(actually 50 because of PAL [do you think its necessary to work in NTSC or PAL is just fine?]) On more thing please. Is the autofocus preform well in S&Q? Im trying to record a Kestrel hovering around the hills. Thank you once again🙏

[@benediktmeyer]

@@m3d137 i think pal ist just fine. yes i don't have any autofocus issues, but make sure to play around with the sensitivty, and i would recomment you to use touch tracking, thanks for watching, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

[@taylorhickman84]

I just started playing around w/ s&q on my A1, but the camera wont let me change the aperture, any suggestions?

[@benediktmeyer]

Check that your camera is in manual mode: Make sure that your camera is set to manual mode, as aperture settings are only available in manual mode. Check that the lens is set to manual focus: If your lens has a switch to change between manual and autofocus, make sure it is set to manual. Some cameras will disable aperture adjustment if the lens is set to autofocus. Check that the lens is compatible with your camera: If you are using a third-party lens, make sure it is compatible with your camera model. Some lenses may not communicate aperture information with your camera, preventing you from adjusting the aperture. Try cleaning the lens contacts: If your lens has electrical contacts, try cleaning them with a clean, dry cloth. Dirty contacts can cause communication problems between the lens and camera, which can prevent you from adjusting the aperture.

[@themarksmanABP]

Interesting question... if you shoot in 60fps and slow it 2x to fit a 30 fps timeline, how much of a difference would it look compared to 120fps slow3d to 2x and put into a 60fps timeline? Both will be 2x slow motion but will the 2x slow mo of 120fps into a 60fps timeline have a more detailed uncinematic kind of look? Are you able to do this as a video? The reason I'm interested is because I have seen some nature reels on insta and the animal movement has a cool look which looks ultra smooth and crisp. It looks alot different to the s&q mode of my sony cameras

[@littleidols]

I don't know but you can't record in 4k at 120fps on this camera so

[@themarksmanABP]

@@littleidols yes I understand that, its the 'look' im interested in rather than 4k vs 1080p. Thanks for reply

[@someguy_]

very different, recording in 120 and slowing it down to 60 makes it much smoother than 60 to 30

[@flipkid925]

Hey, thanks for the very informative and helpful video! I have a question regarding picture profile. In other videos, people recommend PP8 for slog3, but I see you're using PP9. Is that still slog3? Whats the difference?

[@benediktmeyer]

hi, thanks for watching, pp8 has the color space sgamut 3 which is easier to grade and recommended for cinema. pp9 has sgamut3 as colorspace, which has a wider color range, but it is a bit harder to grade

Hey Benedikt, was ich nicht verstehe ist die Einstellung der Rec Frame Rate. Was ist das ? Ich stelle die Framerate doch unter Frame Rate mit den FPS angaben ein. Wofür steht denn das "P" bei Rec frame Rate? Welche Bedeutung hat die Rec Frame Rate Einstellung?

[@benediktmeyer]

Hi, damit ist praktisch die "Wiedergabeschwindigkeit" gemeint. Wenn du die Rec Frame Rate auf 25p stellst, dann siehst du die Wiedergabe in der Kamera bereits in Slowmotion. Stellst du sie auf 120 FPS siehst du es in Echtzeit
