- Hi, my name is Rich Harrington. - And I'm Robbie Carman. - Welcome to DSLR video tips, technical knowledge. Now, Rob, what does it mean to have technical knowledge? - Well, Rich, technical knowledge has to do with truly understanding the technical side of video. Things like the components of proper exposure, frame rates, codex, and more, and understanding how video works will make it easier to work with your gear and be more creative. - [Rich] Once you know the fundamentals of video technology, you'll be able to break down the technical requirements of getting the shot.
This will make it a lot easier to get the look that you want. - [Rob] Yeah, that's right. We've created this course to help you gain the technical know-how for when you're shooting video with DSLR and mirrorless cameras. We cover topics starting from understanding exposure and what frame rates and settings you should use. - [Rich] We'll also walk you through techniques for things like focus, data management, and how to set up a successful multi-camera shoot. - [Rob] Yeah, and we'll also answer questions like, why is my footage too dark? Why does my footage jitter, and what causes rolling shutter? - So let's dive in and start to understand the technical side of video.
