I spent the past 7 months traveling through japan and shooting hundreds of videos on iphone 15 pro in HEVC H.265 in Apple Log. Can you make a video about Prores vs Prores Proxy vs H.265 Log on iphone?
I’ve done audio engineering for years but, my work needs additional online content. I’ve been watching all kinds of tutorials online and I love how this is straight to the point and easy to understand. Thank you dude! My biggest struggle right now is that whenever I shoot video and apply any sort of filter (even if lightly applied) I get these really bad “shadow gradient things” that I can’t seem to get rid of. Whether it’s a sky or the corner of the room it’s like the colors or shadows are all the sudden running on PS2 graphics and you can see them “block-ily” transition into one another. Is that an exposure issue? Is that what you’re talking about when you say “Always expose for your highlights”? And what do you mean by that exactly? Sorry, if that’s a lot.
Thanks so much Jon, I do my best to make sure each to tutorial gets to the point fast so I really appreciate it! No worries, I'll do my best to help figure out the problem, just got a couple questions! 1. Are you shooting in prores log or just the regular color profile? 2. What editing software do you use? 3. What LUT are you using to color grade? And when I say expose for the highlights you typically want to make sure that the brightest parts of your image (the sky for example) don't look over exposed or blown out. It may be a couple of issues below. Double check in your camera settings and in the "Record Video" setting that HDR Video is turned off. This is on by default and it can cause a lot of issues when color grading, and maybe things look over exposed or contrasty.
Question re the different ProRes 'flavors' - the Black Magic app let's you choose HQ/normal/LT/Proxy- I think that HQ is def overkill for the data/information coming off that tiny Apple sensor - the question is what is the lowest quality you can drop to (to save file size and make post easier) w/o compromising image quality on an iPhone 15?? Any thoughts- has anyone tested this?? You recommend Proxy - but have you tested where the 'sweet spot ' is??
Why is ProRes Log is too noisier than the Rec.709? I've tested with blackmagic app and default app, same footage under same light condition and ISO 55, the Rec.709 is much cleaner than even after color graded footage of ProRes Log.
you have to first apply colorspace transformation node to transform apple log. then you can use lut - at the end of the nodes chain. incorrect procedure described in your video leads to significant picture information losse and colors destruction.
Your comment doesn't provide much information either. So to what exactly do you want him to transform the color space? And that also changes which LUT you can put on the end. Doing tweaks on his LUT node doesn't destroy any information, it's still all there at that point. It might not be the most organized way to grade, but it's not terrible and there's no information loss.
I'm not sure there is, although you can download a free version of DaVinci Resolve and add luts to your footage! www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzN-vBhAkEiwAYiO7oO9V7PGQL1EAAIn0fipeqgS12oBjBX5coaOMVqaE-e0ZQuBwZgwaTxoCpc4QAvD_BwE
Thanks for mentioning! After watching his video, Gerald Undone is undoubtedly correct. However at a high iso especially on such a small camera sensor, I can only imagine there will be more noise. With that being said I will have to test it out at iso 1250 and see how the footage looks after color grading and eventually make another video on that!
@@MomentTutorials Hey mate, log has native ISO (ie Slog 3 on an A7s3 is 800), iphone log will have its own too, if its 1250 youll get the most dynamic range and cleanest image.
I do at times when I want to use an nd filter, but when I just want a simpler shooting experience with no filters, I just crank up my shutter speed. While it does break the 180 shutter rule, in my opinion it's all about filming the way you like!
