Hi everyone .... photographer here who does some video.
Based in Australia, I've picked up a couple of jobs this year that I couldn't turn down (despite telling myself no more video about 2 weeks before the first series).
Basics ... I'm recording an informational series of case studies on location with people in the bee industry. We've done 4 that were really well received, so they have engaged me for another 2.
The preamble is to say whatever I did last time, it was fine for the purpose. The client was very happy and they were shown at conferences were they were very well received.
The question is ....
Last time it appears I used ALL-I 25p with a shutter speed of 1/50th. In my region, the camera only gives me options for 25p and 50p (I can get around that but no need I don't think).
If I use 50p, I should bump the shutter speed to 1/100th?
The trickiest bit is I've set aside time for testing, but it's 37*c outside right now at midday, and tomorrow when I shoot it's forecast to be 18* and showers

The content is;
* Interview (canon R3 + 70-200 most likely).
* B-roll of managing hives and bees (R6 + 35mm on a gimbal and longer shots using the above)
* Scenery from DJI Mini Pro 3
Note - In the initial series, B-roll shots were slowed down in post often to stretch out the content, especially footage from the drone.
I really am looking to lock into my aging grey matter - what is the best/easiest frame rate to work with when your platform is YouTube/streaming.
Any info would be gratefully appreciated!
