Just do your math. 100Mbit/sec is appr. 12 MB/sec. Thus 200Mbit are appr. 24MB/sec. So filming 3 min footage should take up 180 x 12 when filming 100Mbit, and 180 x 24 when filming in 200Mbit/s. Its usually a little bit more, but still a good referance
@@SamMasghati That's nothing then. Prores 422 4K doesn't go over 500Mbps on my BM 6K Pro, which would be 62.5MBps. A 5400rpm hard drive could handle that. So this video is essentially saying that a hard drive I bought 10 years ago could handle TWO STREAMS OF XAVC S-I 240Mbps 422 10 bit, and that's supposed to be an uncompressed format. This is why we need actual samples. Heck, a micro SD card can handle that on a bad day lol
Good info! Thanks, Matt. This is at least my 2nd time watching this video, because I finally got my a7s iii. Depending on whom you ask, you'll get different recommendations. Well, I like Matt's the best as I even checked on my camera for total record time available. For 128 GB card: 1h 8m @XAVC S-I 24p; and 2h 40m @ XAVC S 24p 100M 4:2:2 10 bit. That's more than twice the amount of time. I also like Matt's explanation of WHEN to use S-I...Before today, I was an advocate of ALL I all of the time. But w/ this camera being 4:2:2 10bit you don't need that. If you're filming w/ lots of movement and intricate detail in the shot, that's when to use ALL I. As they say, use sparingly.
thank you for the public service here! I had forgotten all about what file format meant what after I changed it to HD a year ago and now am back to 4k!
Great video, can you include file size per 60 of video for people that are new to sony. Would help them realize the size difference you mentioned between s and i
I am a beginner at Alpha 7Siii. I agree with Matt. Too many options with no clear explanation. After following Matt's recommendation, I set my file format to XAVC S 4k but my PC video player - Windows 11- could not play it, nether did Adobe 2022 premier pro.. Rather frustrating. Tried different settings with same frustrating results. Finally the setting that worked for me is as follows: XAVC HS with record setting 100 M 4:2:0. I am happy with the results.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love that you put the answer up front and explained, rather than burying it at minute 9.25. Very helpful explanation of file types, organization and functionality.
If h.264 and the h.265 (HEVC) in 4:2:2 are both shooting 100Mb/s then I think the file sizes will be identical. The difference will be that theoretically the h.265/HEVC will capture more data within those 100Mb/s and be slightly higher quality, but harder to edit if your computer doesn't have hardware acceleration.
Looks like most popular NVidia cards will not support hardware encoding/decoding for 264 10-bit 4:2:2, but will support this for 265. Please correct if I'm mistaken here.
Some great info, thank you! I think you might be a bit confused on codecs and compression, however. Whether you're shooting XAVC-S 100mb/s (H.264) or XAVC-HS 100mb/s (H.265), they're both recording at the same bitrate, so file sizes should be the same. In fact, since H.265 is a more efficient codec, XAVC-HS should yield higher quality results at the same bitrate. So 100mb/s H.265 should technically be higher quality (i.e. have more information) than 100mb/s H.264 with the exact same file sizes. That's the whole point of H.265; more image information in smaller package. Whether or not they ACTUALLY look different in the real world, I don't know, but TECHNICALLY that's how it works.
i know this is an old comment, but do you know how to film using the .mov codec with the FX3? I'm filming with the settings he suggested in the video, but all my files are mp4. And I prefer not to have footage that compressed
@@ryansulak MP4 and MOV are just wrappers - they don’t indicate compression levels. I’m other words, MOV is not more compressed than MP4 (all other settings being equal). Some cameras use MOV, others (like Sony) use MP4. It’s the codec and bitrate settings that will affect the quality of your image, not the wrapper.
that‘s kind of funny: I have a 2017 i7 imac and downloaded several different clips shot with the the SonyA7sIII, and NONE of the play smoothly! actually most of them don‘t even open with quicktime player. only vlc can open them, but still, playback is very choppy. any help or advice would be apreciated!
nobit it's probably just the processing power of the computer lagging. I have a 2019 MacBook Pro and it plays well in premiere with Xavcs I although it's still slower than BRAW when I was on blackmagic
@@stevenuseda6317 hmmm I have a i7 4,2GHz with the Radeon Pro 580 with 8 GB ram, but quicktime player wouldn´t even open a H264 4K 24p file (error message: file not compatible) ....
@@nobit3000 Same here! We're watching every single video about this camera on RUclips. We have a 2015 MacBook Pro full specs and our videos are shot in 1080p anyways but nobody is talking about 1080p and how files are. This 4K 120fps hype is going crazy😩
@@Nekojitablog I went to a local camera store and recorded some test clips: the problem is 422! neither h264 (XAVC S) nor h265 (XAVC HS) 10bit 422 files would open in quicktime player or davinci resolve free (studio version will open those). whereas 10bit 420 will open and play easy. the only problem is that only h265 (XAVC HS) offers 10bit 420, which is only available in 4k (not in HD) plus if you live in a PAL country, you only get 100p and 50p, NO 25p or 24p.... unfortunate
I love you videos bro! This one for example is the best explanation on this topic for me. The part u explained how the codecs stop reading non moving parts of the video answers all the questions!
this is so good! I am a photographer but starting to learn videography to up my game and recently for a A7IV. I was struggling to understand coz everybody says XAVC S is better and 10 bit is the choice but fail to explain WHY!! Thank you!!
I own the fx3 and I discovered something recently. Since I bought the camera I’ve been recording straight to my ninja v in prores and I’ve been super unhappy and frustrated with the footage. It always needs to be de-noised in post which is unbelievably taxing on my computer. I just couldn’t get clean footage no matter what I did. I’ve recently started recording to a v90 in camera and the difference is absolutely amazing. I just can’t see any reason to record to a ninja unless you have an absolute beast of a computer and you are a post/ Color grading expert, which I’m not. It took me sooo many hours of research and no one on RUclips mentioned it. Hopefully this helps anyone else struggling with this camera.
Mate! I've been waiting for a video like this for 2 weeks since I got my a7siii. I'm in Europe and it's weird how PAL offers different options in record mode and frame rates than NTSC. For example, in XAVC HS, in PAL, there's no option for 25p but only 50p or 100p so the file size isn't actually smaller than XAVC S 25p. Anyway, great explanation and thanks 👍🏻
I don't even have this camera but I still watched the entire video 🤷🏻♂️....although nice information dude❤️ so much I have learned in your videos keep going🔥❤️
You actually recommend the opposite of Max Yuryev. Up to you. But if you actually look at the menu in the camera the H.265 files are not smaller. They have the same bit rates, and in 120P the H.264 is actually bigger. But 200MBs in H.265 is better quality than than H.264 at 200MBs. You are getting better quality with the H.265 option with the disadvantage of editing and rendering speeds. Some other cameras do what you said though, they give you smaller file size. But in this camera they aren't doing that.
Hey Matt, Love you content :) But may i suggest one thing - its better to choose XAVC HC 4:2:0 10 bit for editing. It works fast and when you color grade you wont see much difference, even more its really small files.. but XAVC S actually is a bit worse, like, if you have to lift up shadows, it has more noise and artifacts than XAVC HS in my tests
If you color grade heavily then 4:2:0 is very bad since you wont have leeway on grading. Thats why many content creators back then were craving for 4:2:2. You wont see any difference on the colors because we humans are less visually perceptive to color differences, but when you grade, especially if you rotate some hues to have a consistent color scheme, then 4:2:0 can easily cause artifacting on your image because your image only contains little information because of the 4:2:0 chroma subsampling.
I don't know if you are reading comments this late, but there are a few corrections Regarding editing speed you got the basics right H.264 is easier to decode than H.265. But there is a huge asterisk. Modern GPUs by Nvidia, Intel, AMD or the apple T2 chip have native decoders for some video formats which makes them much faster to edit. And most modern NLEs use those. But not all video formats are supported. For H.264 only 8bit 4:2:0 and for H.265 only 8/10/12bit 4:2:0 are supported. So regarding decoding speed on most systems the list is as follows from fast to slow: XAVC-S 8bit 4:2:0 XAVC-HS 8bit or 10bit 4:2:0 XAVC-S-I 10bit 4:2:2 XAVC-S 10bit 4:2:2 XAVC-HS 10bit 4:2:2 {very slow} So for most the best option is actually HS 10bit 4:2:0. It has better compression or quality than H.264, edits faster than the 10bit variant of H.264 and the difference in color subsampling is not noticeable.
I thought XAVC-HS was a nightmare for most editing rigs given its H.265? Using Prem Pro on PC with 16 core chip and GTX 2070 GPU. I know Resolve is much better optimised than Prem Pro.
I have seen about four or five of your videos, and I have to say. You kill it on presentation, knowledge, relatability, and explanation. Thank you have officially subscribe and will be looking forward to more videos utilizing your expertise and experience. Thank you. Nate
Super super helpful. I don’t like many videos, but for how helpful this was and how good a job you did explaining this, I truly tip my hat to you sir! 👍🏻
Wanted to come back to this video even though it has been 3 years. With the release of 3rd party type A cards and better technology, I wonder if it now makes more sense to invest in type a cards and edit in S-I than it is to edit in pro res raw if you don’t want the headache of dealing with a PRR file and using denoise in post.
Matt, I believe that when I get my A7S3 next month I can shoot in XAVC-HS (having the M1 Max MacBook Pro) it runs it quite well. I love to test this next month but it is an editing powerhouse quite nice to see if the A7S3 can get this powerhouse running with FCP edits.
Well done Matt! I watched a different video when I first got my camera and my file sizes were MASSIVE! I thought "Matt is the guy to watch" and I was right. This saved me! Thank you! I look forward to more of your Sony A7Siii videos. This camera is a BEAST!
Matt, whenever I look something up and there is one of your videos, I always click on it and without fail, you solve my problems every time! cheers! :)
we got the a7s3 and the problem we are facing with is that 422 is not supported by the nvidia NVENC encoder making our RTX3090 useless and footage slow as it is being processed on the CPU, this is frustrating so being forced to record 10bit 420.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm still waiting for the camera, I'll buy the Ninja V. Could you explain the connection to the Ninja V. And the positive and negative points of using it Thank you
I will be mainly filming in 4K@120fps in the HS format (10-bit 4:2:2) and that will both be massive (280Mbps) yet not as massive as 4K@60fps in the S-I format (10-bit 4:2:2) which is a whooping 600Mbps with no active steady shot as well. So with double the framerates I can still get 60fps, 30fps, and 24fps in the final production and have slow motion ready! Also would use that 1080@240fps and upscale it to 4K in some occasions! Got the camera recently but grinding to get the first lens and a CFexpress 160GB to start!
Some examples would be nice imo, like how big a 3 minute clip in XAVC S 24 and 120 fps is approximately, just to get a practical understanding!
Just do your math. 100Mbit/sec is appr. 12 MB/sec. Thus 200Mbit are appr. 24MB/sec. So filming 3 min footage should take up 180 x 12 when filming 100Mbit, and 180 x 24 when filming in 200Mbit/s. Its usually a little bit more, but still a good referance

Thanks for getting straight to the point bro .... with the option to get more details afterwards 💪🏾🔥
Could you share your setting for this RUclips video and how did you ended up with such a beautiful quality?
Matt, great video. Can you mix XAVC S-I and XAVC S in the same timeline and still get the benefits of each format?
Yes
thanks for the description, this was super useful!
I just watched your video again. So much information. Will a v60 card handle 4K60 in XAVC S?
Yes
Most detailed explanation. Thank you👍🏻
cleanest audio on RUclips
we got the a7s3 and the problem we are facing with is that 422 is not supported by the nvidia NVENC encoder making our RTX3090 useless and footage slow as it is being processed on the CPU, this is frustrating so being forced to record 10bit 420.
Bro. your Amazing. Best and most clear vids ever.
just got mine. so thankful for this breakdown!
Dear Matt plz educate me... in 2024 what recording file format shall i choose for Sony FX3? XAVC S-I 4 K or XAVC S--I DCI 4 ? plz guide?
The noise you notice at 400x can be cleaned in post after recording raw.
Great info, I’m here learning while I wait on B&H to ship my camera. :/
CAn you record 25fps or 50fps? Thank u
XAVC HS is only slow to edit on a Mac. If you have a PC with an Nvidia GPU the editing experience is very smooth.
so helpful. thank you so much. would love a tutorial on how you're setting up this camera. similar to your series on the a7ii
Planning on it!

wow i am EARLY on this one! Matt I love you so much! nobody will see this anyway. thank you for all your work Matt.
Thanks so much Carlo! Love you too
This cleared up a lot for me concerning my new a7sIII.Thx and I'll be back.
Should I Record in XAVC S-I 4k for sports football? I know you mentioned if things were moving faster you would change it to that option?
Your videos are EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this video.
I'm still waiting for the camera, I'll buy the Ninja V.
Could you explain the connection to the Ninja V. And the positive and negative points of using it
Thank you
Glad to have someone explain this with detail. Thank you
Great video. Just what I was looking for
I will be mainly filming in 4K@120fps in the HS format (10-bit 4:2:2) and that will both be massive (280Mbps) yet not as massive as 4K@60fps in the S-I format (10-bit 4:2:2) which is a whooping 600Mbps with no active steady shot as well. So with double the framerates I can still get 60fps, 30fps, and 24fps in the final production and have slow motion ready! Also would use that 1080@240fps and upscale it to 4K in some occasions!
Got the camera recently but grinding to get the first lens and a CFexpress 160GB to start!
Thank you so much for these very clear explanations !!!
