Fujifilm Video Files and Codecs Explained

Fujifilm video files and codecs explained. Emphasis on Fujifilm X-T4. Also explanation of Bitrate, Long GOP, and All-Intra for video shooting. Here's my best recommendations for common scenarios:
1. Want best possible video and audio quality
Use: 4K 400Mbps with MOV/H.265(HEVC) LPCM with ALL-I Compression
2. Just posting stuff to social media like Facebook:
Use: FHD or 4K with MP4/H.264 AAC with Long GOP (however if shooting lots of motion, change substitute Long GOP with ALL-I instead.

I've been shooting stills on my Xt-3 for a couple of years. Last year we were locked down here in Spain, no exercise permitted, my photo work dried up instantly, and I had a lot of time on my so I switched it to video mode and started to learn. I found this channel fairly quickly and watched more or less everything. A year on.... I am now starting to get paid for shooting video, and it's 99% thanks to you. It's one of the best instructive YouTube channels I have come across and I haven't taken the time to say thanks so far... so here it is. it doesn't seem enough really, but I really, really mean it. Keep doing what you do.

[boztos]

Thank you for bringing us closer to our Fujis with your talent, knowledge, hard work... and humor!

[tugrultekbulut]

You’re a great teacher. Thanks a lot for removing all the confusion.

[robsenior]

Chris - this is gold!
As a stills shooter the video options on my camera was a complete mystery, like trying to read a foreign language. And as a Fujifilm shooter for over 6 years I have never touched this functionality.
This episode is like the Rosetta Stone!
You are an extraordinary ambassador to Fujifilm and I hope they are remunerating you. You have global (& cross cultural) reach so from down here in Australia I thank you!

[ozpain]

Your videos are, by far, the most informative and extremely helpful for learning. Plus there’s an undeniable fun factor. Thank you so much.

[elsuizocasual]

It's amazing how you explain things so well, that complicated looking stuff becomes easy and always perfectly presented in a fun way.

[TheSshadow]

Chris, once again, you've made clear a mystery of the Fuji universe. Thanks so much!

[thethknight]

Dude….this is the most clear explanation on what codecs, video file types, and audio compression types I have EVER seen. Chris, you are a super effective instructor.

Everyone who sees this video needs to go and update their transcripts! You are now 2-credits smarter in media than you were before watching.

[HaldunT]

You are great again. This is so confusing topic for new video makers.
I needed this video a year ago :)) you are telling everything so simple. thanks for wonderful lesson.

[AcraniusCH]

Your videos and the presentation of additional info on screen are getting better each week!

[tomasrolland]

By far the best channel for explaining stuff like this in an easy way - excellent work!

[stephanschmitty]

Thank you much ! One of the best information I have ever get her on YouTube!!!! Thank you 🙏

[signalsounds]

A link to your videos needs to be included with every Fuji camera. As an amateur, it was so daunting trying to learn about my X-T4 through endless forums and unclear videos. Since I’ve found your channel, it’s like night and day. I love watching every new video you make, I’ve gotten so much more comfortable with my camera and have learned so much about photography and video in general thanks to you. Keep it up!

[jrod]

finally a video that breaks it down and makes it simple to understand! thank you! dont stop!!!

[SteveBott]

I just love how you explain things in such simple way, excellent work.

[icogicog]

Outstanding. I wish all the people who tried to teach me something throughout my life (and there are many) had the smarts, energy, clarity and humor you would be so much better

[rickshapiro]

Honestly, this is the best explanation I've been seen on Fuji and video settings.

[ballerad]

Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time trying to remember the best movie mode settings without really understanding what they meant and was struggling because of that. Watching This video has cleared up so much and I already feel more confident to switch my camera to movie mode. 🙌🏽

[mikerodriguez]

Amazing video! Such great information and organized presentation, and great production!!

[rounderone]

Thank you so much for this introduction to shooting video! I am a long time stills photographer, but a bit intimidated by the video learning curve. More please!
