Catalyst Browse vs Active Steady vs IBIS vs Standard Sony Stabilization / Stabilisation - Should you use In Body Image Stabilization on a gimbal / tripod? Is Catalyst Browse 8 BIT or 10 BIT? Does Catalyst Browse destroy your footage? What is the difference between Catalyst Browse & Catalyst Prepare.

This is gold dude. I was wondering why my footage was jumping when panning with active on! The ultimate stabilisation guide! 🙏

[movingamountain]

You make my favorite tutorials on filmmaking. They are both brief and extremely informative.

[chicojones]

Finally! Someone breaking it down concisely. Thanks. I've experienced all of these shortcomings. And now I don't have to second guess.

[PatrickChondon]

Keep up the great work Jacques! Thanks for taking the time to make these awesome tutorials.

[MarcelGlas]

Love how much knowledge you pack into each and any of your videos and I especially appreciate how you don't take things at face value!

[littletheatrefilms]

Found you recently after purchasing an FX3. Your work is amazing. You have been so helpful. Thank you

Great content! No blabla, just informative! BTW, I also got these jumps in Active mode when panning (experienced with a6700 and also A7Cii) but what I noticed is that these jumps were happening due to slight tilting. In fact I could get nice pans when I was able to keep the horizon perfectly flat. Even when no pan, walking straight, if the camera tilts even slightly, then I get jitters. I think the stabilization cannot correct even very slight tilts... Too bad it makes it almost useless without further stabilization. By another way, they say a6700 has 5 stops, A7Cii 7 stops, but I could not notice any practical differences in video...

There are many youtubers, but only Jake got me addicted to this.

[galleo]

Man!! You don’t know how useful this clip is!!! You have resolved so many myths to a newbie like me. This 8mins video is gold!!

[ImaginetMedia]

Incredible information! Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge. I am new to Sony (20+ years in the Panasonic world) and could not figure out why my FX30 pans looked so jumpy. Subscribed.

[huntermumper]

I am sad I am now seeing this, but grateful that this information has been put out. The structure of the video and delivery of the information is phenomenal and greatly appreciated!

[Nypics]

I believe that as long as you export in an intra format you can export from Catalyst Browse in 10 bit - the paid version can export in any format in 10bit. I agree about the issue with needing a higher shutter speed- but when you are balancing the ease/convenience/speed of shooting without a gimbal versus adding motion blur back in during post you can see where catalyst may be a good option. In the time it takes to setup a gimbal I can shoot several shots- some with higher shutter speeds for post stabilization and some without that have less movement. usually I only want a few shots to have that gimbal smoothness. Given time and equipment there is no question that shooting smoother during capture with a gimbsl/steadicam is always best!

[rogeliorogel]

I knew something looked worse after catalyst browse!! Thank you so much for this, as always your tutorials are the most useful ever

[Discoverorangecounty]

Thank you for this! I thought I was going crazy with all the warping in my dynamic stabilization footage after so many YouTube videos hailed it as being so smooth. I noticed Active being much better but this video helped me realize the specific use cases to maximize the settings and the other components to consider like shutter speed.

[nonyab]

I saved this to my reference playlist before even watching one minute of it. Thanks in advance!

[paulg]

I am running out of compliments to give you! I’ve never seen this subject explained this way. Yet again I have been doing it all wrong after watching many videos telling me (convincingly) how to do this!! I’m a bit annoyed to be honest, but thanks to you once more, explained in a simple but educated fashion, I now know what to do. Man I never knew Catalyst Browse exported in 8 bit … I’m gobsmacked Thanks again for all your help.

[UNPRECEDENTEDPICTURES]

Wow! Super helpful. Thank you! Turns out I've been doing it wrong this whole time...

[napatsaeng]

Thank you for sharing, we use IBIS many times

[MarcVD]

Time and time again you are proving being a true pro. I learn so much from you. Jacques, thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

[rimshot]

So grateful for this video and all the knowledge - thanks!
