There are actually situations where the S-I codec is lower quality than all of the others. Its prone to macroblocking. It's really only better when shooting scenes with a lot of motion. The HS codec is roughly twice as efficient and computers will handle it better if you're in the 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. It's when you go to 4:2:2 that computers will have a difficult time and you may benefit going to S since it's a bit less compressed. The technical reasons in simplest terms: S-I records brand new images for each frame. Less compression but more data needed to do that. Easier for computers to handle but more drive space. S is h.264 and creates one full image every few frames (I frames) and in between those it determines just the differences from the last frame to the next. HS is h.265 and will do the same thing but instead of just looking at the frame before it it will also use the frame after it to determine the differences. That's why it's harder for computers to edit it but it maintains its quality at lower bitrates.
Yes, that. I shot a project in S-I with the A7IV and FS7 and on S with the A7III, from 3 different angles. The A7III looked the best, because the other two cameras had so much macroblocking, that effectively the resolution went from 4K to 1080p.
As a note: there is no hardware accelerator /asics for decoding h264 10bit at all on any consumer hardware. In h265 there is an accelerator for 10bit 4:2:0 on most modern gpus and some other hardware, but ONLY intel supports h265 10bit 422 (in the latest three generations) Maybe apple does in m1 too but I'm not sure.
@definingslawek4731 intel Arc and Intel CPU's just to be specific as well. If you have an AMD cpu and want to utilize 422 then you can buy a cheap arc gpu and have a solid budget build.
I started my video editing journey over a year ago and I used to wonder why videos never looked as polished as urs, after watching numerous courses on colour grading and also currently on a few colour courses with davinci and learning about colour spaces and all, am starting to really respect and appreciate your grade on a different level⭐
@@KN-mi7mh this comment here makes know you have a good knowledge of this genre you are absolutely very correct😅😅...I also started taking courses on lighting and bought better lighting equipment too...learning about,3 point lighting when to use it,how to create certain moods and use shadows and lights effectively..did not realise this in itself was an artform
Totally agree!! S is the perfect combination of quality and compression as many reviewers have pointed out. Much easier to edit with and no discernible loss of quality. Clients who edit with my video files are much happier. HS not for everyone…Thanks for the nice video!!!
Ironically h265 is a lot easier to edit (if you have the hardware accelerators for it, most modern computer hardware has 10bit 420 h265 decoders but only the latest three generations of intel cpus with igpus have 10bit422 h265 decoders) The reason h265 is easier to edit in this case is because there exists no decoder for 10bit h264.
I've just today about an hour ago actually ordered myself the FX30, and have always been set on that camera for a while. I'm so glad I subscribed to you a while back when I first discovered your FX30 videos, they've helped me out so much with knowing exactly what to get alongside the camera such as SD/ CFeXA cards. Very clear and concise explanations with every feature I've had questions with, thank you again and I'll be sure to let you know how I've faired with it once I put it to use for my videos!🙌🏻 🎥
As a serious amateur photographer who is getting into videography, I just want to say a huge thanks for your incredible videos sharing all this info, it's unbelievably valuable! Would be great if you followed this up with a second video on colour profiles and shooting log - I still get a bit confused. Cheers mate!
confused?? like i am . i was shooting sony a7iii and video was were I struggled. Now the Fx3 is complicated, still trying to figure out what is best for less memory issues
Thank you. So many camera folks are pushing the HS but I shoot at 30fps and it doesn’t work in that setting, so this was very helpful to see the comparisons.
I've always shot with the HAVC-HS. The differences in picture quality and color are too little for me to really care for, most of which I'm able to tweak in Davinci anyways. So to me, the Pro's outweigh the Cons. Luckily, I've built my computer to be GPU heavy to be able to run Davinci Resolve and I've had no problems! Plus, when doing weddings, sometimes the clients choose to have all the unedited footage. I found that HAVC-HS can be played back on almost every computer. The other two, some clients cannot play back the RAW data. So in order to do that I'd have to take all the footage and render it in an MP4 file just so they can watch it on their computers or devices... and I don't want to run into that issue. Also, I love having footage be great right out of camera, and the Cinetone does great, especially with controlled lighting. To me, you can have to most gucci camera on the most gucci settings, but if your lighting is bad, it's going to look horrible anyways. If you have great lighting, and a lower-to-mid-teir camera, it's always going to look better! But yeah that's just me!
you are one of my favorite UA-camrs, and I’m glad you grew so much on YT. One thing, Brazil doesn’t use PAL for a while now… thanks for you content! And when ur in São Paulo Brazil coffee’s on me. Cheers mate!
@@janw1982 I can edit the footage in Premiere no problem, but I do render proxies on bigger projects just to be safe on occassion and I have pretty strong hardware. VLC Player is often kind of slow and laggy at playing the files though.
You'll be happier with the s-i codec, just get a v90 sd card and it'll make worlds of a difference, I don't even need to use proxies . And play back in full 4k in software is smooth .
This was precisely the info I was looking for, and even though I have zero knowledge on the videography side, this was really easy to understand. Thank you!
Very informative video dude! I've been shooting with HS on both A7IV and FX30 and had no idea about the color shift. I'll have to run some tests to see if my footy is coming out more green! Thanks for all that you do, let's rock it this year 🙌
Try walking on a brick road and record in all these codecs. Artifacts on bricks will be noticeable for S and HS, but not in Intra. And it is noticeable to the point for not usable footage.
Amazing Information as always. Yes that slight color shift in HS is for sure strange. Its also great seeing the 1800% comparisons. Thanks Jason! Cheers!
Love your content. as a new Sony shooter and fx30 owner. After watching this whole video I still have no idea what any of the codecs are or which I should use 😂
Thanks Jason, great video as usual. My desktop is ancient, but I am still able to edit the HS files using proxies in Premier. It does add another step and additional time, but it makes editing so much easier and I don't have to get a new desktop yet.
You should update your "PAL Regions" map ! At 2:14 there is a map indicating PAL regions, I know at least France, which is not included, is a PAL country now (it uses to be "SECAM" which was a different 50i format from PAL, but in any case at lot closer to PAL than to NTSC). The thing with this map is it doesn't show the "SECAM" regions, which are all 25p or 50i regions. In fact you should either include PAL/SECAM/NTSC regions map or, more to the point nowadays, a 25 vs 29.97 map. Cheers
The biggest difference is in the type of 4K and 1080p video where in XAVC S HD you have a RIDICULOUS bitrate of 50Mbps while in XAVC S-I HD it goes to incredible 422Mbps that makes an ABSURD difference in quality. I thought it was extremely stupid for Sony to limit the bitrate to 1080p
I was filming in HS but went back to S when I started doing more 30fps projects... S is much easier on the work flow too.. dope video! good to know I'm not missing out on much, if anything at all with HS and I.. happy new year..
Biggest difference maker is whether or not your processor supports the newer h.265 codec. If you’re running an M1 you basically don’t need to encode at all. I don’t on my M1 MacBook Air.
XAVC-HS plays ok on mine until you start putting layers etc. on it. But IMO it's not a great codec as the compression vs loss is a bit on the poor side (not efficient enough), but it stores higher quality at a better compression than 264 codecs. HS decoding isn't about power, it's about interpretation, as the M1 included a video encoder/decoder chip that includes this format it will outsource encoding/decoding to this chip so the CPU itself can do other things. That colour shift is interesting. In the real-world clips it made it all look a bit cooler. Great video man, good information. Interesting minimal differences between the formats, possibly chip noise is the bottleneck there Or pissibly it just has more keyframes in the lower-end codecs to keep the quality up. But it shows the output is remarkably similar regardless of format chosen.
Very good video, but it has a serious error on the issue of editing. The 10-bit XAVC S codec does not support gpu acceleration for decoding in Premiere, and this stresses your cpu even if you have a 12th gen i7. It happened to me in the first video I recorded with the a7iv and it was horrible to edit. If you're going to use XAVC S, it should be 8 bit, and I don't see much sense in it either, being able to use 10 bit and have a greater range of color editing with the Sony a7iv, Siii and fx. Instead XAVC HS supports gpu decoding in premiere, especially if you have a 12th generation intel cpu with gpu included to take advantage of the quick sync function and work together the nvidia gpu and the video card built into the cpu.
heyy thanks for great content, you are the best bro, can i ask what is you settings for shooting this video? wich coden has been used for this content?
hello, Jaso, great video btw that really help me understand the different file settings on my sony. got a little bit of an interesting question for you I've got a Sony A7 VI and I've come across a slight issue when recording when I go to playback it won't come up on my pork keys monitor I have to switch off the monitor and view it on the the camera monitor which I find quite tricky to do because it's so small and I don't know why it's doing that just wondering if you could help?
Weird, could be the PAL format or higher frame rates - No colour shifts on my FX30, A7IV & FX3 at all on 4K 24p 10 bit 422 highest bit rate NTSC but yeah, even if it happens, it's a quick fix.
Very interesting, thanks. I have been shooting S I all this time and always wondered if there is any loss in quality. What about fast moving action is there any change with the data loss? Though like you said very hard to tell because of the movement. But thanks you may have saved me lots of money on CfExpress A cards and harddrives.
Thanks so much for the explanation! Im shooting on A7IV and I love how relatively small the XAVC-S files are. Does the same apply for 1080 100p recording in your opinion?
hi Jason Morris you go go straight to the point I like your video I would like to ask you if you know why my sony records let's say for 30 minutes but cut the 30 mm into 4 to 5 clips for me to put the together and make it the 30 mm long ??
I always use proxies edit the stuff final the timeline then replace the media with orignal and Color grade it then render h265 is good enough regarding quality and size
I tested identical 4k video clips at HS and S in the a7IV, and they were the exact same size. And the HS was actually easier to scrub through in Premiere...
Thanks for this video! When you bring the footage into your editing software (I use FCPX) do you let the software Transcode the media? Or do you just edit directly with the original files?
Have they made a change in the latest firmware as all you early youtubers have FX30s that display the round FPS number 30, 60 etc. When I have mine in NTSC I get the 59.94 etc numbers instead.
Really useful video. I’ve been wondering about this. With the FX 30, I’ve been pondering how to rig it with a small Rode microphone and an external monitor in a simple way without unbalancing the run and gun simplicity of the FX 30. What I really want is something like the fda-ev1mk electronic viewfinder that was sold for earlier Sony compacts small and mounted on the flash mount not the larger clumsy bulky external viewfinders generally available. Any suggestions please ?
I believe when your shooting externally tho, like the Ninja V+ it's recording Prores, and it's basically just like XAVC S-I i believe it's all-Intra when shooting with the Ninja, and it's like 500 MBPS..

My takeaway is if you have a modern apple silicon laptop, then XAVC HS all the way, but frustrating there's only 24p and 60p, 30p is missing.
Hey Jason thank you for making these videos. Just a couple of days ago I was wondering about these so thank you!

Fantastic comparison of the codecs and the pros and cons. Thanks a lot !
I do not get the color shift. I shot a grey card at the same exposure for both HS and S. They were literally identical coming out of my FX30.
1:46 this is no issue at all. Set up DNXHR or DNXLB proxy media in davinci, come back later, and super fast playback 👍👍

I think I read/heard somewhere that the color shift in HS is just on Macs, and that there was a fix.
Could you do a video comparing all-I vs prores
I hope Sony updates the FX6 with the XAVC - HS Codec @ 200MBPS.
There is not a middle ground with the camera.

Did you shoot this is slog 2 or 3?

What I really want is something like the fda-ev1mk electronic viewfinder that was sold for earlier Sony compacts small and mounted on the flash mount not the larger clumsy bulky external viewfinders generally available. Any suggestions please ?
I believe when your shooting externally tho, like the Ninja V+ it's recording Prores, and it's basically just like XAVC S-I i believe it's all-Intra when shooting with the Ninja, and it's like 500 MBPS..
Is there a way you can trim long videos off the camera.I’m having trouble getting my 10 bit file off the camera
hey what is that strap used on the side of your camera called ?
Thanks for the information. However, probably it does not make sense to use static images to compare codecs.
Hence the other footage shot with moving subjects
