Tsarbomba Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Let me start by saying I have NEVER turned my 6D on video mode until yesterday. I know, it shows! And never touched Adobe premiere until last night with a free trial. That shows too. Here are my questions. -How do I continuous focus on moving subjects ( 4 year old) I know the 70D has a touch focus, but other than manual focus (turning ring/follow focus) its pretty impossible? -I shot in 1080p in camera at 30fps. When i started a new project in Premiere I just did everything default. Exported finished product how ever Premiere does it to a folder of my choice. I uploaded it to Vimeo and it looks pretty bad. What did I do wrong? Heres the video I'm referring too. Shot with 6D and 35L II Here is the default new project screenshot [/IMG]http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu64/DanielFrankPhoto/new%20project_zpszs0buhum.jpg[/IMG] Here is the export screenshot [/IMG]http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu64/DanielFrankPhoto/export_zpse1jt2i3u.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrorSvensson Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 you exported the video in 480x720p and in avi format, try out 1080p h.264 and you will get a lot better quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Look's like your original file is 720 × 480 and AVI. Try this: Format: H.264 Preset: Vimeo 1080p EDIT: Yeah what @BrorSvensson said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkabi Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 What was your shutter speed? Check your premier settings. What did you export the video from Adobe Premier as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, 6D does not have continuous AF in video. And even if it did it would be contrast only and wouldn't work that well. Manually focusing is your best bet, but don't worry you get used to it and it becomes easier (and more efficient than most AF systems) after a while. Shooting with a smaller aperture (large f#) also helps! Quote -I shot in 1080p in camera at 30fps. When i started a new project in Premiere I just did everything default.

I don't know what premiere defaults to when you first use it but it looks it has the wrong aspect ration and a low resolution. Try h.264 format , 1080p resolution (1920x1080) and a ~20 bitrate for better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarbomba Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks guys. Im exporting now in different format. Let me also state. I did have my tripod, but they told me I couldn't bring it in because its a tripping hazard. Might have been slightly better video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Don't use tripods for family videos use some lens with IS (image stabilization), that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarbomba Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Much better. Didn't see where to choose 20bit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkabi Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Good job on your first video. What did you think? Coming from a photography stand point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next thing i would recommend for you is to get and Variable nd filter so that you can keep you shutter at 1/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarbomba Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thanks for the feedback. Def going to get some IS lenses. Coming from photography, the video looks ok. It probably looks better to me only because its my family. To others probably not good at all. Id like to get to that point where I came make it look more cinematic. I like the shallow dof, but focus seems to be an issue with moving targets (kids) You can def tell the shakiness, also some out of focus scenes where my little guy is running around. I bought a used Glidecam HD2000 last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
