 Hello YouTube Live. Hello. So as a nerd I thought I would pass on some tech tips for today. So I have done some photography work and some videography work and there are so I guess the first distinction I want to make is you can capture a moment with just a picture right and then if I'm taking a video all that is is a sequence of pictures and so what happens when a when a picture is taken some sort of film or digital film gets exposed so light comes in onto that film and stores an image. For videos it takes like a bunch of pictures every second so in standard it's taking 30 pictures every second or maybe 24 pictures every second those are the two most common variations that you'll see. What I want to do is extrapolate this into a gym setting so if I'm in the gym and I have a client moving really really quickly and I see what they're doing because I'm I'm trained at this and I know what I'm looking at and I cannot illustrate to my client the issues that they are dealing with or what I'm trying to fix then I could take a video and I could show them exactly what they're doing but if you just take a standard video at these 24 frames per second or 30 frames per second that's FPS sometimes you'll see it abbreviated 24 and 30 frames per second is usually not enough pictures each second to keep detail in a video so let's this came to mind because my buddies and I at co-workers and I at Indianapolis fitness and sports training are giving a lecture this weekend and as Ty and I, Ty and I are giving a joint lecture and we're preparing our lecture and we took a bunch of videos of this and we found some really good movements but everything's kind of blurry and it's it's not very clear so I walked him through just this so how to take clearer videos or high speed videos so let me show you a couple examples that we got switch over here all right so let's give you hopefully this doesn't lag too much so this is a video that Ty took a long time ago it's a girl of ours great girl shout out to Maria and she's running so running pretty quick and you can already see even before I pause it she's really blurry what I like to do is maybe scrub through a video like this so I grab the playhead and I and move the playhead along and I try to find the spot that I'm looking for okay and then maybe what I want to show Maria is that when she's done pushing off find this right there yes so she's done pushing off her toes about to come up right her knees real bent still so she never finishes her drive and that's what I want to show her now you can kind of see this but for the and she's really interested in this sort of stuff and she'll want to go to physical therapy school or whatever so this probably won't be that big of an issue for her but it'll definitely make you look more professional if this image is more cleaned up and it looks like a snapshot of a picture right and this leg isn't so blurry this leg isn't so blurry her face isn't so blurry and then you can really point out the details of what you're talking about because this is this is just less clear there's a certain aesthetic to the things I do maybe I'm just overly particular now let's let's scroll up and I'll show you a video that I took the other day so this video file is much bigger because it took way more pictures but as you can see if I stop you can see all of this very well and there's Maria she's moving probably roughly the same speed that she was moving in the other video but she's totally clear like you can see the vibrations in her skin now I think that is really cool and I can I can illustrate points much more clearly now with the video like this right hopefully you buy that let's switch back okay so sometimes just a picture is fine like if I'm doing an ab exercise where I'm having someone else do an ab exercise and I just want to show you the position that you're in sometimes a picture is fine sometimes a picture is unnecessary and you can just show them in person and they'll get it sometimes that's not enough and they need to actually see themselves doing it to believe you so sometimes a picture is enough sometimes one frame is enough and that's what we would we would say in the the photog videography business sometimes the standard 24 or 30 frames per second of video capture is enough if I'm doing I don't know maybe maybe a slower bench press or maybe some tempo work where I'm actively slowing myself down like that will capture a controlled eccentric contraction really well but if I'm doing something that's higher velocity I want to slow it down as much as I can so these videos that you saw were taking the the old video of Maria sprinting that I took was at 30 frames per second and these new videos were at you might be getting the output on the stream at 60 frames per second but I took them at 100 120 frames per second or even some other ones later on at 240 frames per second and now you might be thinking like how all these words I don't really know how to do this right so smartphones make this super easy and I love it alright so I'm gonna kind of show I'll walk you through at least how to do it on my phone this is a Google pixel XL and smart phone camera on the market right now I don't know how long that will last but I'm highly satisfied look at that picture-in-picture okay so if I'm gonna try to do this say so I got my my phone right here now right now I'm on picture and I can slide one way or the other okay that's this video now you see right there up that the I'll get out of the way here right there at the top it says 30 FPS that's the standard so I'm going to change it and I can change it to 60 FPS and that might give me enough that I need right that that's taking double the amount of photos each second okay 60 photos each second so that'll smooth out the video really really well and you can even see once I change this setting in my phone and I move it around like this even just the preview is much much more clear it's really interesting now I mean this tech stuff blows me away now maybe I have a video that would work with slow motion so that's that's like this video that I showed you up here before let's try this yes slow motion and now you'll see at the bottom I have 240 frames per second and I can select this and change it to 120 frames per second now I can tell you because I looked up the specs on my phone that 120 frames per second can be taken at a higher resolution so it'll be a bigger picture because it doesn't have to process quite as big a files no it will be taken at a bigger picture I could do 240 but only if I make the picture smaller aka have a smaller resolution because then my CPU on my phone can actually process the smaller files that's what I meant to say so the the slow motion stuff is weird a little bit because it will slow it up but I will also tell you and I don't know I'm not an Apple dude forgive me but I don't know how they work with this but I do know that my phone I can pull this file up and I can watch the slow-mo and I can even adjust you see the little dots in the middle there so there are dots on the outside and then there are more spaced dots on the middle and then there are dots on the other side other outside so I can adjust those little thingies here to tell the phone to change where the slow motion occurs right so what the app tries to do or the camera app tries to do is it tries to take a picture or it tries to slow down the the action so if you're just filming a four-second jump it'll work really well but if you're I mean as I found with this little tag game that we were playing it didn't always work so I had to adjust some of them and I can trim some of the videos or whatever later on if you're you know giving a presentation like we are this weekend if you're struggling with some of this let's let's just do a little summary so standard is about 30 frames per second for high for standard video standard speed video higher speed videos are taken at 60 frames per second or above and those will be clearer pictures if you have to pause them to show other people okay and that's just because it takes more pictures you probably don't need to know that but I like telling people if you have questions on how to set it up I would Google how do I capture high speed video on my blank phone whatever phone you have the internet knows a lot of things and if you can't figure it out ask maybe somebody who's really tech proficient that you know because they'll be able to help you better than I will hope this was helpful hope you come into the the tech age and explore all this cool stuff that there is until next time have a good day
