In the past few months, I have taken a few time lapse videos and this has gotten me interested in doing full-scale video. I have a 5D Mark IV as my potential video camera. Questions from me just starting out: Is there anything I need to know about the capability, or idiosyncrasies of the 5D IV as a video camera? I know, from my early research, that I will need a microphone for my camera, so my question is whether or not there are any recommendations on one to acquire. I am not into spending large $$ just starting out. Is there any other basic equipment that I should probably have, or think about having, "just starting out"? Is there a good book, or a good website that covers the kind of details that a beginner should know? Is there a "best" software app that I should have to process the videos. Again, nothing too expensive. There are probably others, but these will, hopefully, serve as a starting point. Any insight that anyone would care to share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just rem that with DSLR you will only get 29 minutes 59 seconds of video at any one time. I don’t do video but I got the video editing prog from adobe photoshop Kit wise have a look at lens reviews , canon, sometimes they will say how good they are for video work, Noise, hunting, and so on. I saw it in a review but as said I do stills so it passed over my head. Battery there is a better battery out with that is better than the standard canon batt, again I looked but for what I do there would not have gained me much. Hope this helps
Good I am pleased that you are aware of the time limit, many are not I bought photoshop elements and I got the video editing software Adobe premiere elements I think. The lens are STM I think
