Video best practices

Recording best practices.

This will save you a whole lot of time while editing, because your video will look great out of cam.

  • look into the lens of the camera
  • use manual mode whenever possible
  • get the exposure (brightness) right
  • get the lighting right
  • get the color right or use a grey card
  • get the audio levels right and record in a quiet room
  • record in FullHD or higher
  • plan your shots in advance
  • Turn on Video stabilization and use a video tripod
