BUSTING MYTHS: Use ANY Frame Rate in ANY Country [Without Flickering Lights] | 24/30/60FPS 25/50FPS

Can you shoot in 24FPS, 30FPS or 60FPS in a PAL country or 25/50FPS in an NTSC country without flickering lights? Yes you can! In this video, I show you how.

Fascinating, I never gave it much thought and always just assumed shutter speed should be double the framerate (24fps at 1/50th for instance). But I guess almost all of my resources are either American or Canadian 😂😂 Thanks for going in depth about it and providing an explanation I never knew I needed!

Now go tell Sony to not bother us with a popup about wrong regions. Also tell them to allow h265 in 25/30p mode too

[VictorHugStudio]

You have the charisma to explain simple video concepts in a very beautiful way

[tollbar]

Absolutely brilliant - never thought of altering the shutter speed/180 rule. Good news here in the UK; domestic tungsten bulbs have largely been replaced with LED types so this helps but, fluorescents are still around and probably will be for some time.

Great video as always! One thing to note though is that if you're shooting on a Sony A7iii (not sure if this affects other cameras), the footage at 4K 30fps will be somewhat cropped as it does not use all of the full frame sensor, possibly to compensate for the extra frames. So I keep mine at 24fps using PAL (I'm in Europe). I guess if I ever shoot in America I can just bump up the shutter speed to 1/60th to prevent the flickering!

Love the color grading & lighting of your videos👏🏾.

[whatchannel]

if you are using this idea for a client and you shoot using this and they want the footage for broadcast you will get your footage rejected. He should have covered that.
While his work around does indeed work this could end up costing you a client or a job. There is a standardisation for a reason
I do enjoy his videos tho and i'm glad he brought this up

I tell you.. You nailed it.... This was the topic I was hunting for years... Thanks for the info. And solution.. Your are F....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Magical

Hi folks, another thing to be aware of is that modern TV sets can deal with a wide assortment of frame rates. The NTSC/PAL standards covered much more than just frame rates - how the colour (color!) was encoded in the analog TV signal for example, most of which does not apply with modern digital displays. (NTSC = National System Television Committee, PAL = Phase Alternate Line).

I see subtle skipped or missing frames in 25 or 50 fps videos on a PC screen from YouTube. The screen refresh is 60Hz, and therefore 25 or 50 do not divide evenly into the screens refresh rate.

I had this very doubt running in my mind for a few days!
Right then here it is! Thanks alot ! 🙌🏻

[lukejansen]

Thanks this fixed my problem! I set my camera to PAL and set the shutter speed to 1/50

[nonsodiobi]

Joris u just cleared this up for me. I've actually been testing out what u explained n it worked. Now I know I can break that rule, just didn't know how to conpensate with light. 👍🏻 Thanks man. By the way, your 30fps style is beautiful. Makes your videos appear crystal like glitters. Super nice

[markusbolliger]

You are right. Unfortunately with NTSC- Framerates in a PAL country like Switzerland, where I live, you can't take clips in slow motion (120 FPS), there is no way to avoid flickering, as you confirm in your video. But 30 FPS at 1/50 sec. and 60 FPS at 1/100 second work fine.

30p with 1/50 shutter speed looks amazing from what little I was able to sample here. All the smoothness I could want involving background and stuff like facial expressions/speech synchronization, but the blur for movement looks just like cinematic 24. I know you already switched back to 24, but could you please do more in this 30p-1/50 shutter speed format? Perhaps a full cinematic shot like the fair grounds or the evening walk done that way? Just as an experiment to compare against 24p-1/50 and 30p-1/60?

[DocTinfoil]

THANK YOU Joris! You just saved our shoot today!😊

[workingwiththelight]

Great video 👍. After watching one of your last video I am testing 30fps in UK. I used to do 24 and 25fps. It requires a tad bit of more light but in bright light it actually is advantageous, so I don't need Nd filter so much.

Thank the lord for this simple video! You have a new subscriber. Lee - UK

[marko_z_bogdanca]

These tips are valid. However, there is another way... Buy good led bulbs :) Those that have a proper AC to DC converter will not flicker. On any settings. And if you buy a studio lighting you will never ever see this effect on any camera settings :)

[Drunken_Hamster]

LMAO, that shutter tool is part of what I based my most recent comment on, lol. 25p 1/40 works in any country, is an integer frame-rate (no re-encoding mess by youtube or mismatched timeline possibility) and has just a slight bit more motion blur due to the 1/40 shutter that looks just a touch extra creamy to compensate the 1 extra frame making it look a touch extra smooth.
