Excellent question. When I recommend shooting at 1/60 of a second for the shutter speed, I'm talking about shooting video with the frame rate of 30fps. If you're shooting 24fps, then 1/48 of a second would be a better shutter speed. Also, you can get away with 1/30th of a second at 30fps, but my own opinion is there's a little too much motion blur. Generally, you can go one or two settings up or down without noticing a big difference, but in this tutorial I'm really trying to illustrate how you don't want to use shutter speed to control exposure when shooting video outdoors unless you want that strobic, no-motion-blur, look. Thanks for the great question! :-) Hi, Drome!

All pros I've ever met or worked with shoot at either 1/30 or 1/50 (when shooting 24p, because it's closest to a 1/48 equivalent of a 180-degree shutter angle on a Super35 film camera).
