GoPro HERO9 Black Cinematic 5k Footage & Review 

Did I hear Parker is gonna review Playstation 5? Hmmmmm, sounds like a great idea hahahaha

what about covid-19? aren't you excited about that?

The effect it produces, though not perfect, is kinda cool for some creative works.

This isn't fixable without going to an optical or physical form of stabilization. GoPro uses purely electronic stabilization which shifts the framing, works great so long as the shutter speed is high but once the shutter speed is lower, you'll be able to see the image shifts between frames "baked" into the footage. Anyone who thinks this can be fixed doesn't understand electronic stabilization. GoPro did improve this issue though on the Hero 9 (I never had the Hero 8 so I don't know), now in low light the shutter speed doesn't go below 180 degree shutter angle (opposed to say with the Hero 7 where it would go to a 360 degree shutter angle which magnified the issue). I found that shooting in a higher frame rate like 4K60 and then on say a 24fps timeline, you can add motion estimated motion blur to the clip in Davinci Resolve. The accuracy of the "fake" motion blur will be improved since you are sampling the action at 60fps. And this is not a simple technique like frame blending, it analyzes the motion and objects between frames then blurs it. I've had this ND filter on GoPro issue for years but then I decided to switch to Resolve in 2019 for this one built in feature alone (no need to buy an additional plug in for motion estimated motion blur). You don't need Neat Video either even though it's the best; Resolve has a solid de-noiser built in too. And finally ... Resolve heavily uses your graphics card compared to all other video editors. I use a RTX 2070 Super but cheaper cards will work fine. I was blown away when I could stack up effects, sharpening, grading etc and play it back in real time without pre rendering. Also, the Render Cache feature makes my life easier. I can pre render the entire video in Resolve as I work. Rendering a 5 minute 4K video then just takes like 1 minute or so. Messed up on a title or want to tweak a shot? Just fix that and then the render cache updates for that clip (takes just seconds), then you can render the whole video again ... in like 1 minute. Every time I see Premiere Pro (like in this video) I cringe now, people suffer way too much with that. I do believe there is a plug in for motion estimated motion blur for Premiere Pro. You can then fake the 180 degree shutter angle in post. The higher your frame rate you shot at, the better the result will be. It's not as good as true motion blur but is a great compromise. Also, Peter didn't mention something I noticed ... using an ND filter on the GoPro even in great outdoor lighting actually brings out a lot of noise in your shadows, effective dynamic range is reduced slightly. So my method of using motion estimated motion blur and ditching ND filters on GoPro for action shots is the best way to go overall for now. One more thing, I use an xRite Color Checker Passport Video as a color and contrast reference to assist with making my own corrective LUT files from scratch in Resolve to help get started with camera matching. I shoot in Protune on the GoPro, low sharpness, GoPro color (flat color produces a weird pink tint in the shadows that is excessively detrimental to your image when removed and makes reds look bad), native white balance, and usually -0.5 EV. By fixing the tint and white balance then using the color and contrast swatches on the color chart I can get to more of a natural or cinematic look that surpasses the highly saturated "video" look GoPros are known for. It's not perfect, 10 bit recording on future GoPro cameras could improve this but that is not likely a feature we will ever see. For now though, I have good methods that maximize what I can get out of this tiny camera. I literally just figured out the native white balance plus GoPro color combination yesterday, previously I used native white balance and flat color. I verified on the waveform that flat color really doesn't give you much more dynamic range, basically it's not worth it; you tend to have to add contrast or an s curve back in anyway and color suffers a lot due to the lower bit depth / steps of color recorded in the 8 bit file :)

Still have it or have you upgraded?

He doesn't want to give away his little secrets. Unsubscribing !!!!!

Usually shoot in flat color profile with low or medium sharpness, High Bitrate, wide lens at 60 fps, ND filters if you have them oh and ev comp at -1. That is what I use. I have no clue what parker uses but I hope this helps you

Be interesting to know how much post goes into these

Tnq brother

Im pretty sure my hero3 got pinched from my car. I feel so bad for them

They are a must for timelapses.

I bought them and tried snowboarding with ND filters on. Looks pretty dope in the super bright areas (even with 240fps hypersmooth) but anytime a shadow showed up it gets real weird. I don’t think I possess the talent to use them correctly

facts.
