I use this for near 100% of my video projects at work (with Sony cameras) and it's absolutely amazing. Sony is not exactly class leading when it comes to stabilization (like Panasonic). There's a Premiere and Resolve plugin-in these days.

Fast guide:

* Be sure to turn off any in camera stabilization in Sony cameras.

* Be sure to take the added crop into account when composing.

* The faster shutter speed, the better. Forget about 1/50 for 25p. There will be the most horrible artifacts. For 25p, use 1/100 or preferably use 1/200. For 50p, use 1/200 or preferably 1/400 etc.

(My ignorance,) is motion blur no longer a thing in modern digital?

(I'm also confused: 1/50 is the shutter speed and 25p the frame rate?)

    Normally you double the shutter speed compared to the frame rate to include a motion blur that looks good. But if you then apply stabilisation post processing, you end up with a shot that has motion blur yet isn’t moving. So you want to set a very fast shutter speed, and then you might introduce fake motion blur in post processing later that matches the movement of the stabilised video.
