One BIG thing with video work that will probably get overlooked (because it has to do with editing the video, not recording it) is which CODEC you are working with. The XT3 records into either H.264 or H.265. These are compressed CODECs for reducing the amount of memory they take up on your cards and SSDs but they are not suitable for editing in Premiere or Final Cut Pro. Shooting with an XT3 you will need to do one of 2 things: 1) Transcode footage into an editable codec, such as Apple ProRes or 2) Shoot with an external recorder that automatically records to an editable codec such as Apple ProRes. If you try to edit the Fuji files straight out of your camera in Premiere, you're gonna have a bad time! Think CODEC and do your Transcoding.

Hey there, first time poster here. I recently got an Atomos Ninja V and I'm running into a little problem during my first recording attempt - all of the display information on my XT3 screen is also being recorded into the Ninja and I can't figure out how to turn the display information off through the Fuji menu system. Since the Ninja is recording a 1:1 stream of what's coming out of my HDMI port, I need to be able to turn all the display information off, right? Is there another way that I'm not realizing? Thanks for your help! -Patch
