Thank you for this useful information.
Now I am making a video with pixel stick and have just tried with these steps.
In my test video, vertical black lines can be seen on the pixel stick image and I could not delete them by changing fps/shutter speed.
Please let me know if there is any solution or idea for it.
Thanks in advance.
