Rebel t3 video help

[sDizzle]

This weekend for the first time I tried using video mode, when I viewed the video clips on my Mac its very obvious it can take great video but none of the riders came out clear and crisp there was a minor blur to everyone on every clip... Any tips??? And I was using the stock 18-55 IS II lens w A UV filter and on a tripod... Thanks

Right, you have to manual focus the DSLR's when filming.

Possible your lens was dirty but I would bet its a focus issue here.

This^^^

assuming you have a T3i (maybe you don't)
-set your lens to Manual focus
-have someone stand exactly where you want the action to be.
-click zoom button twice. it should say 10x
(top right hand corner of the camera there should be plus & minus magnifying glass pictures.)
-focus on your subject using the focus ring on the front of the lens.
-click the plus button once more to exit zoomed view.
-hit record and get deals
