Poor quality video

blacktopmedia

I've been experimenting with filming on my D3200, but so far the footage is poor quality and harsh. Generally I'm just using default setting. I've seen short films on a D3200 that look great, but mine don't! Any help or suggested settings would be appreciated. I'm automotive focused so aiming to do short films about people and their cars. Some inside, for example in a garage, and some rolling car shots, static and decent slow motion would be a great advantage. Thanks.

I too would like tips for video recording, particularly basketball indoors or soccer outdoors. Thanks!
