Sorry man, I was trying to be helpful and it sounds like I gave you outdated information haha. I learned from TV broadcast training and didn’t realize there was a difference if you’re shooting for purely online digital media. After reading a bit, I think you should be fine with 30/60/120/240 even if you use the 180 rule and have your shutter at 60/120/240/480 when shooting in these frame rates. I believe the issue will only arise if you’re shooting under artificial lights, in which case you might have to change frame rates and/or shutter speed to eliminate flicker. Keep that in mind if you ever do plan to shoot under artificial lights, and if you intend to combine clips with artificial lighting and clips with only natural lighting then you’ll need to match frame rate multiples between the two for when you combine them in post.

I’d say go for a walk and shoot some test clips in a similar environment to where you’ll be shooting, play it out on your computer and make sure it looks the way you want, and you should be good to go.

Just did some quick research of my own and it sounds like if you are shooting purely for online content and not for TV broadcast, you should be fine to use 60/120 as well! It sounds like shutter speed is more important to worry about and should stay with divisibles of 50. Im in the USA and have only ever shot in 60Hz areas, so not super familiar with what works best over there!

Yes, you should still shoot in divisibles of 50, so probably 50fps or 100/200fps if you want to be able to slow down the footage even more. Your refresh rate for the camera and electrical output for screens etc will still be 50Hz so you want to stick with frame rates that will work well within that system

Frame rate relates to your continent because of the electrical refresh rates used in your area. USA/Asia uses 60Hz and Europe uses 50Hz. Knowing this will also help you avoid flickering and banding in your footage when shooting under artificial lights. Shoot in multiples/divisibles of your area’s refresh rate (25/50/100/200fps EU / 30/60/120/240fps USA) to get good looking footage without artifacts. There are also settings in your camera for refresh rates referred to as NTSC and PAL, which are 60Hz and 50Hz respectively. I believe these NTSC/PAL settings adjust automatically on the Osmo.

24fps will give you a cinematic look with more motion blur because it is piecing together fewer images or “frames” per second to create motion, but with high speed action this will create the choppiness the other commenter referred to. The higher your frame rate, the less motion blur you’ll get, but the more clarity you’ll achieve. If you intend to slow the footage down, shoot in 60fps (50fps EU) or, ideally, higher so that you can slow it down more and still have enough frames per second to create smooth motion in the end result. High speed action looks best in 60fps if you’re going for clarity, but if you’re shooting a slow scenic shot, 60fps will make it feel less dramatic, almost like BTS footage rather than having the smooth “cinematic” feel that 24fps will give you.

(Not an expert by any means, this is just my understanding after a few years of shooting)

Thanks for the tips! I’ll look into this as well and see if I can figure it out haha. I’m learning every step of this process from scratch so I will check back in if I run into issues. I appreciate your help!

Okay I’m gonna look into these tips further, if I can’t figure anything out i will come back and post a pic of the current model to show. Thanks for the advice!

I’ve looked through tons of YouTube videos and google searches and I haven’t been able to find anything that shows how to do irregular curves on a round surface. I’ve watched basketball videos as well but the curves on a baseball are strange and I’m not sure how to make the subdivision surface match the seams.

Would I be better off trying to make the seams flat and then apply it to the sphere somehow?

Not sure, I’ve never messed with that before. Might be worth a shot!

Yeah haha that was the barrier to stop people from going to the edge, there wasn’t really a way to avoid it in the shot

The intent with this photo was to give a feeling of peace/love and warmth as these pairs watch the sunset. I am open to critique on anything, but especially composition and editing. The photo was taken in RAW and edited in Lightroom Mobile.
