So I have recently started filimg more with my t3i and I get the error that the movie has stopped recording automatically. Ive been shooting at 1080p 60 fps and my sd card is a sandisk class 10 64gb with 80mb/s. I was told my problem was the low mb/s and the card could not write the info fast enougj. Any suggestions for sd cards for strictly filimg? Im fairly inexperienced so feel free to tell me if im wrong with my logic or direction.

You card is fine, youre also not shooting 1080p60 because thats not possible on a t3i, so im assuming its 720p60 and your card is just fine.

my bad it was 1080 at 30fps and then we tried 720 at 60fps. On both settings it would do this. Any ideas why?

Card's fine, the buffer's what makes recording stop. Only thing you can really do is let the camera sit for another minute in between takes to let it write everything to the card. Canon buffers suck and it sucks cause there isn't much you can do and it totally fucks you over when it happens.

make sure your peripheral illumination and chromatic abberation correction in camera settings are off too, if they are on they can increase buffer times by a significant amount.

it could be a few different things. When shooting HD video you really want to have a UHS-III card or 633x or better. A lot of cameras also have problems with their sensors overheating during long video clips, hence why clips are limited to 30 min on most SLR's
