Hi, so I am making a little series with RC and I put a lot of work into the finish on them, which resulted in fantastic colors. I made a whole episode, I tried some filters to give it a little cinematic effect, basically so that it doesn’t look like a real-life video without anything, but I have found that any of the blur filters I used(even though I would put very little, 0.x) would noticeably affect the fps, and desaturation/greyscale took away from the amazing rusty colors of the models. I ended up releasing as is, and while it does look good, I would like to learn more about what filters I might use to give it a bit of a cinematic look without sacrificing the fps and the colors. Thanks in advance.
I think a link to the original “as is” video might be helpful.
Here’s the link:
Someone else on here may know, but it doesn’t look like there are many options if you still desire the 60fps. But then the question becomes why 60fps, given the footage isn’t sports or anything that might benefit significantly from 60fps?
So imo the best option might be to drop it to 24fps (or 30) and work with that, while maintaining the original footage.

You could try some other techniques that might translate well to your project, but clearly not everything is relevant:
The blur will not affect FPS. If you export it in 60 FPS, it will still be 60 FPS regardless of how much blur you put on it. I’m trying to understand what you mean, so sorry if I misinterpret. If you want to the video to look “cinematic,” like in the movies the FPS does make a difference. Usually most movies are exported in 24 FPS, which takes away the “soap opera effect.”
Another thing you can do is in the filming itself. You want to use an ND filter on your lens so that you get that true-to-life motion blur. You pair that with the 180 degree shutter rule. Basically, if you film in 24 FPS, you double the shutter speed resulting in 1/48 shutter speed (rounded up to 1/50). It’s hard to replicate that in post processing.
Another giveaway if you’re trying to fake a real truck is maybe slow it down to 80% so the truck doesn’t seem so light like a toy.
I threw in a lot of jargon that should lead you to the right solution if you Google or search on Youtube.

for youtube recommend 1440p or higher as youtube re-encodes everything and will degrade your product.
your video looks good for 1080p
