I was going the direction of the A7IV but am now looking at the R6II. I shoot mainly portraits but video is important like music and shorts. Does the R6II keep track if shooting video locking on?

Is the AF smooth in speed? I think there is a way to control that right?

I have used neither camera myself, but that doesn't stop me from chiming in

You can control the speed and smooth of AF in video, yes. The R6II also has an autofocus mode ("Detect only") where it will only focus on subjects, so if a person steps out of frame, it won't try to focus on the wall behind them.

oh i need to find that setting and play with it! i shoot 50/50 video and photo with mine

It's listed here in the manual: https://cam.start.canon/en/C012/manual/html/UG-05_AF-Drive_0050.html

You should be able to backtrack to the right menu from there
