⚙️ Adjusting Video Settings
Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to access parameter settings. Here, you can control:
- Resolution – We recommend 4K for best quality.
If upload speeds or file size are a concern, choose 2.7K (the default) or 1080p.
- Frame Rate (fps) – For most situations, 25fps is ideal.
- Slow Motion – Select 50 or 60fps, and leave a note in your Shootsta project brief asking your editor to slow it down in post-production.

🎛️ Want More Control? Activate Pro Mode
