I just finished a family use only video of a trip to a wedding. I noticed and spent a lot of time fighting shuttering/skipping in panning shots and shots with movement within the screen. I used a combination of a iPhone (30fps) on a gimbal, GoPro (24fps) on a gimbal, the Spark (30fps), and editing in iMovie. I did the Spark clip trim trick to smooth some of the Spark video. But I still see shuttering as the Spark yaws across (pans) a family member riding away on a bike. The shuttering isn't there (or barely there) when looking at the Sparks video feed directly vs in the iMovie result. The iPhone clips had a lot of shuttering that I think are because of its frame rate.
I am thinking of just setting everything to 30fps all the time so everything is on the same frame rate. I have ND filters so my Canon DSLR can do the 24fps with 50th shutter speed but it is a huge pain to set up. If it is set up, then I want the whole movie to be with the DSLR so no Spark video spliced in. Because of the pain that the DSLR is, I haven't tried to put ND filters on the GoPro, Spark, or iPhone so I can get the 50th of a second shutter speed on them. I can't imaging the man hours I would spend chasing the exposure. Therefore, I think 24fps advantages is wasted on my iMovie edits.
Everthing on 30fps might have a video feel but at least nothing would be shuttering or skipping. A lot of my videos have the camera moving (drone, gimbal), the subject moving (walking horse), and the background moving (trees bushes sliding by). In a sense, the subject appears still in the frame but is moving.
Thoughts on going to 30fps. Vloggers sitting on their office racing seat talking into a tripod camera will rage at the thought of leaving 24fps
