Hey Liam – I think all you’re asking is how to get Premiere to interpret the 60fps footage at 23.976. Here’s a tutorial:

[Gary Huff] “the inflexibility of specs.”

That’s ironic considering part of his spec says

the idea of a big, heavy, long, “proper” video camera scares me
I was considering a compact DSLR

and yet you suggest cameras that are outside of that spec, even if his budget is flexible.

[Gary Huff] “Price is way more flexible than needed specs”

I didn’t realize that you knew how flexible his budget was.

[Gary Huff] “I realize you are doing your best to save face”

Hahahahaha save face, okay Gary, neither of us are going to change the other’s mind.

Matteo I hope we’ve helped in some way.

Ha okay honestly I didn’t see that one coming. Makes more sense now and I understand why you’re asking for 4K 60 and pushing for the latest tech. The Panasonic GH5 is rumored to be announced at Photokina in September and include 4K 60, but obviously that’s means we’re some months away from being able to actually buy one if those rumors are even true.

You yourself said the camera he wants doesn’t exist within his budget. You claim my suggestion isn’t legitimate, yet suggest two cameras that are above his budget and larger than he wants. By your premise, your suggestions are no more legitimate than mine. I’m hoping Matteo writes and explains why he so desperately needs 4K60, because I’ll be shocked if 1080 60 doesn’t suffice. Do you really not accept that the a7sii is one option for Matteo, given the fact it sounds like he isn’t quite sure what he’s looking for? I’m not arguing it’s the best camera out there or the end all be all for him.

It’s apparent we have different philosophies on dealing with people. I agree that his statement of “nothing less than 50p,” indicates he isn’t sure what he’s asking. To me it means it’s up to people like you and me to explain the pros and cons of various options out there to try and find a solution that works for him. I also agree with you it’s not responsible for other people to post solutions they were proven to not have researched.

Thanks for the additional input Gary. There is no camera in his budget that meets his requirements, which means he is going to have to compromise one of the features he wants… unless you’re going to write him a check for the remaining 2-3k?

He said he does low light shooting in clubs: a7sii is king of low light
He said he wants 4K: a7sii does 4K internal
He said he doesn’t want a big camera like the FS7 or Ursa, which I believe you recommended Gary: a7sii is a small mirrorless body
He said he has a budget of 6-7k: a7sii body used from B&H is 2700
He calls 4K 60 the “device of his dreams” which to me means he realizes he may have to compromise: the a7sii will at least give him 60 or 120 fps in a resolution, again, compromise.

The point of these forums, Gary, as I’m sure you know, is to offer options and ideas that others may not have thought of. I’m not sure why you’re angry or attacking others for putting forth valid compromises to his problem.

Hi John, you would be correct if you shot 1080 you’ll want to use to the 1080 YouTube setting and make sure the frame rate matches yours, 23.976.

I would recommend watching these videos to start learning about exporting and compression:

[Matteo Proromo] ” the other ones are low-light, noisy videos with an always-moving camera and lots of people.”

Well the king of low light nowadays is the Sony A7SII. You get a small camera capable of 4K internal recording in low light. You could either buy used lenses or rent some until you figure out which ones you like. It doesn’t give you 4K 60fps, but it does do 1080 120fps or 60fps.

Suzin, there are a few main players in this field. Atomos’ monitors/recorders, VideoDevices Pix monitors/recorders, SmallHD monitors, and Blackmagic Design’s Video Assist. There are obviously others but these are the ones I see very often. Atomos I think is the cheapest, around $1K, then VideoDevices, then SmallHD. SmallHD is renowned for their monitors but again you pay for what you get. I’ve used the Atomos Ninja Blade most often, the screen comes calibrated so what you see is what you’ll get, has all those features like waveform, peaking, etc. It sips battery, especially if you’re not recording with it and only using it as a monitor. It also has an HDMI out so you can connect it to another monitor. It is plastic however and has the cheapest feel of the ones I’ve mentioned. We’ve had a couple issues with it needing to be restarted in run and gun situations but overall has performed very well.

I would recommend renting different monitors if you can and seeing which one you like. LensProToGo.com and LensRentals.com are two rental places.
