Fujifilm Video Files and Codecs Explained

May 5, 2021

Fujifilm video files and codecs explained. Emphasis on Fujifilm X-T4. Also explanation of Bitrate, Long GOP, and All-Intra for video shooting.

Here's my best recommendations for common scenarios:

1. Want best possible video and audio quality
Use: 4K 400Mbps with MOV/H.265(HEVC) LPCM with ALL-I Compression

2. Just posting stuff to social media like Facebook:
Use: FHD or 4K with MP4/H.264 AAC with Long GOP (however if shooting lots of motion, change substitute Long GOP with ALL-I instead.
