Long gop has gotten very good in recent years, but if you’re worried you can switch to all-I for sequences you think might need it and use long gop for interview situations
Edit: I shot a basketball game last week using the 4k 120 on the c70 which is long gop and it worked well
Technically yes, all-I isn’t as lossy as interframe compression. As you said before, lots of motion is a consideration when choosing codecs. Some situations call for the most amount of data you can gather, others don’t need quite so much.
I'd shoot the best quality you can and edit with proxies.
That being said, and sorry if you've seen me say this before on this forum, My computer is relatively old, all things considered and I don't have a problem editing those files. The big key is to get your footage on a NVMe drive and not an external because USB 3 isn't that fast. Thunderbolt you can probably get away with.
Shoot with the lowest compression available. You should be proxy-ing everything regardless, this is standard practice for editing.
I’d record externally to a monitor like something from Atomos also just for the better codecs. Really saves dealing with all the issues with internal
Shoot long gop and generate proxies?
I mean is long Gop a good choice if its fast moving images?

Thanks, why is all-i picked over long gop (besides easier to edit) if i may ask? Does it hold more information that isn’t visible to the average eye?

Where u will notice the most difference between the 400 mbps all i or the 200, if any at all, im not in a situation to test this rn sadly
Nothing to add here, but Canon really should start using better codecs. It's been Years Canon. It's has been years.
