Questions about video that are also relevant to still photography. Questions about video post-production and other video-related topics that are not relevant to still photography are considered off-topic. They should be asked at the Video Production sister site.

See Can I ask Videography related questions? for the community discussion on the topicality of video posts. The top answer there states:

I think the important thing here isn't the equipment but the intention.

For example, a question about 24fps vs. 30fps strikes me as off-topic. A similar example would be audio. Both of these are irrelevant to still photography, regardless of what's behind the lens.

On the other hand, lighting questions have a broad overlap, as do filtering, or questions about exposure and composition generally.

I think if the only relation to still photography is that it's using a DSLR body more typically used for stills, that's probably _not quite enough to make it on topic. I think the best rule of thumb will always be:

Can I use this information in still photography?

Lighting, yes; composition, usually; audio, no; lenses, yes... It seems to work quite well to me.
