Well, Adonys, for someone who gets angry cause we don't get your point, it seems you don't get this fact: What you see in your videos are camera issues...with prop rotations...You don't trust real pilots on this forum ?
How can you be sure that what we see on film is the same as real life ?
Have you flown in a real prop plane ? Some here have and they assure us that we are not supposed to see much more than a faint glare..
So, who's right?

Salute !

Whether or not you see props in a video (or still shot) depends on the exposure length. Longer exposure means no props. Depending on the rpms the props become a full disc at around 1/60.

it is not just a camera optical illusion, it appears the same to the eye too, and indeed the way it appears depends on the rpm. I haven't seen them on real airplanes, yet I have seen them on plenty of real helicopters. the same effect actually can be seen on any rotating blades (propellers, car wheels protection plastics, old trains spiked wheels, etc).

where are real pilots flying single engine aircrafts (and not flying them just once), to answer this?

ps: and I'm not angry at all, just letting you know.

You can see the prop BECAUSE THAT WAS TAKEN WITH A CAMERA.

I've flown in single engine prop planes multiple times, in multiple kinds of aircraft, you can't see the prop in any of them.

Okay here to reiterate what the others have stated regarding the "Camera" side.

Take this video, it shows extreme cases of a camera modifying what we would see in real time.

The camera shutter speed is approximately in sync with the revolution of the prop, therefore the blades appear to stay stationary in the video. The same can be applied to the video you posted, its a trick of the camera that has you fooled.
