Sony footage showing motion blur – How to fix in FCPX?
Hi,
I recently shot a short music video on my Sony a7iii. The settings were 4K at 23.98 fps. These settings have not been problematic in the past.
When I look at this footage, it seems that most motion creates a “blurring” effect which I don’t want. I have no idea how my camera did this (it shows up on the footage from the SD card too), but wondering if there is a workaround using FCPX, or another video converter tool.
I’ve tried several things like changing the frame rate, but haven’t been too successful. You can view an example here, just watch for sudden motions.

It is possible the camera’s shutter speed was not manually set to 1/50th sec, which would normally be required for 23.98 fps (180 degree shutter rule). To match the exposure the camera may have slowed the shutter speed which caused blurring.
I don’t think there is anything which will truly fix that. Your options are re-shoot it, or accept the look and try to make it look like an artistic choice. E.g, put additional effects on it to make it appear dream-like, etc.
