video

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has any real world experience shooting the x-t2 video .... with or without image stabilized lens... 4-k or other, how the video is to process, final cut pro or any other editing platform.... problems, likes, dislikes and or issues while shooting or post..... in other words any info not from our standard press release stats ....

 

Thanks,

youtube has plenty of films shot with any kind of lens from independent film-makers ( and Fuji sponsored ones too) under almost any kind of conditions. You are way more likely to find your answers there.

 

Good luck!

I was just in the Smoky Mountains with my X-T2 hoping to get a few photos of the Elk. I had the 100-400mm on the camera. We came across quite a few bulls that were bugling so i switched to video mode and did some recording. I am certainly not a video expert, did nothing special, and this video was mostly handheld at 400mm or close to it. It was edited in iMovie on a standard MacBook Air from early 2014 with only 4GB of RAM and a 1.4GHz CPU. Editing went quite smooth, but the computer did occasionally skip when trying to play back. Compliling/Procesisng did not seem to take any longer than other camera i've used. The link to the video is below.

Edit: two quick notes: 1) I didn't look into any of the video features before shooting, just switched the dial to video and clicked the shutter button. 2) I found that when on AF-C it seemed to loose focus and hunt, but when on AF-S it seemed to stay in focus

Thanks very much for all the info. The video, particularly when the light was right looked quite nice out of the box, no grading, no log, nice. And i must say, your like a steady cam, great job hand held with that focal length....

 

Thanks again!!

The fact that IS still works while you shoot video on a Fuji is a big perk.  When I use to shoot Nikon, the VR would turn off when shooting video ... a real nuisance.

[Nick05]

I was really impressed with the IS on the 100-400mm. It really helped keep the video steady.

Yes it does help quite a bit.  I've shot video with non-IS lenses on my Fuji XT1 and/or XT2 and also with IS lens and it certainly makes a difference (for me) with focal lengths 50mm and up.
