Or…maybe it's an Anjin-San problem and not a video problem
OK…I'm a video novice but in getting ready for my trip to Africa the end of the month I'm making sure I can at least shoot some and take some baby steps into video for the blog. I set up my Z8 for 4K/120 as this allows 4x slow down if needed in post or I can just export at 120 for real time speed use. Output mode is H.265 10 bit MOV and I've got a hot shoe mike to use.
So…recorded a video of my wife practicing her music and then copied it over to my MBP. Playing it in either Quick View or with QuickTime Player…it got normal speed for 10 or 15 seconds than just slows down. Same results if I import it into iMovie which I'll use for now. Recording from my Z7II set up the same way at 4K/30 except that it's just MOV so I think it's only 8 bits plays back just fine.
Any idea why this is going on and how to fix it? I could just shoot 30 and slow down in iMovie…but it looks like that just doubles every frame for 50% and quadruples for 25% and I'm sure that the 120 FPS would give a better overall video…but maybe it doesn't and one of you video experts can 'splain it to me.
Thanks.
