Exactly why I just clicked the video lol

you know whats so amazing is that this topic I believe is so over looked and not talked about enough thanks for this! Because picture profile matters just as much as aperture iso white balance and shutter speed there’s not enough videos about this at all I literally just discover natural profile in my GH4 its looks!! Amazing!!!

Literally the best video on this topic I found. I mean I knew the basics and why I did not trust the guy that said "just use creative profiles so you don't need to edit that much" - but to hear it in that professional way gives me some kind of right direction to do further research. Thanks!

What a gem video. Fantastic. From 4 years ago this video is exactly what I needed. Easy to follow and understand while still providing everything I needed to know. I use Sony a6600. Thank you so much.

Slog3 is not recommended for 8bit cameras as it uses just a fraction of the available data levels. Use slog2 instead which can use the full data levels to avoid banding. But even then banding can become visible which leads us to just use hlg. Gerald undone hat an amazing video about dynamic range differences between all profiles. Hlg3 is the best overall profile on 8bit cameras. On my fs5 i use slog2 in 10bit which is then even better...

@AppleboxCinema

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the detailed response! I avoid Slog3 as often as possible, I typically stick to Cine4 but you're right, whichever profile you use on an 8bit camera it's likely to be too much strain on the data and you'll get artifacts and banding. The bane of my existence. I actually recently got my hands on two BMPCC 4Ks and shoot BRAW and I'm loving it. Plan on posting some videos about it in 2020. Thanks for watching Chris!

In that case I might use Slog-2 or Slog-3 to keep as much dynamic range as possible. But if the shadows are meant to be dark, I stick with Cine4 because I don't need to retain that detail and that way I can keep the image a bit cleaner.

Sony doesn't have the greatest color science so we always have to do *some* tweaking to get somewhat natural colors.

Wow thanks so much! The best tips I can give are 1) depth behind the subject allows you to blur the background more. 2) Use a BIG soft light source. If your lights are small, shoot them through a bed sheet or shower curtain. That will give you soft, natural light. 3) Keep the microphone as close as you can without dipping into the frame to get cleaner audio. 4) Make sure the exposure is correct in-camera, and then color grade to preference. I make all my normal corrections (increasing saturation and contrast) and then I add a free Lutify.me LUT "Heulandite" at about 50% power. That's about it. Good luck!

@AppleboxCinema

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked the video! Unfortunately I've also found that videos shot in Slog can have really noisy shadows. That's why I tend to shoot in Cine4 instead. There are a few things you can do to remove noise. After Effects has a built-in "remove grain" plugin and it works pretty well but it takes a while to render. There's a fantastic paid plugin called NeatVideo that works wonders in After Effects and Premiere, and it's only $75. You can also lean into the grain and cover it up by adding more grain. Downloading a free 4K film grain overlay and then setting the blend mode to Multiply or Overlay and adjusting the opacity can help cover up the bad grain with good grain. Hope that helps a little.

4 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for watching! I don't think one profile is necessarily better than the other, they just have different uses. So if you're shooting a dance / music video under controlled lighting and don't need to do much color grading, a standard profile like Movie or Natural might be perfect. But if you're in low-light or out shooting on a ridiculously bright and sunny day, you might want to try Cine4 or Slog to preserve details in your highlights and shadows, just be aware that you'll need to spend a bit more time color grading. I never got a chance to try HLG so I can't make any recommendations about that.

The picture profile you choose for night video depends on how much detail you WANT to retain in the shadows. I've found that Cine4 works just fine on the a7Sii because in most of the footage, I actually want the shadows to be really dark. But occasionally if I'm in a situation with bad lighting and don't want everything to be dark, I'll go with an SLog profile to help maintain some details.

@AppleboxCinema

4 жыл бұрын

Hey, not a dumb question at all. To be totally honest, I have no idea how to answer that question lol. I upgraded from the a7S II to the BMPCC 4K last year and sold my Sony, so I actually never got a chance to shoot with the HLG profile. And I also never used the Sony as a stills camera, so I'm completely useless here. I occasionally shoot stills on my Canon T7i which is a fairly decent entry-level camera, and I just shoot RAW using the Standard profile and Lightroom usually gives me enough latitude to adjust my exposure as needed. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

Maybe you can help me. Like they say always ask the expert. I have an A6600. I purchased some coloured lights for the background and I use one key light for now. I notice a strange thing happened during filming the video. I notice after when I am editing and I see the video. I see that the video started out as a somewhat dark video image ( which I like) - like most vlogs. Then it starts to brighten itself as the clip goes on. The camera seems to some how change something in adjustment during filming.Im not sure if I have to turn some setting off or adjust other settings?

@AppleboxCinema

3 жыл бұрын

I'm not familiar with the A6600 but maybe the camera was set to Auto Exposure and that's why it was changing by itself. You'll want to make sure it's set to manual control so you choose all of the settings yourself.

Can I ask if I can use the same lut for slog2 to any of the picture profiles? I bought some luts but they are all for slog2

@AppleboxCinema

4 жыл бұрын

Great question. A good LUT will have two options to choose from. One for Log footage, and another for Rec709 footage. I'll often color by eye to get my flat footage pretty close to Rec709 and then apply the Rec709 version of a LUT and adjust the strength to taste. So the short answer is that a LUT meant for Log footage probably won't work exactly the same way with another profile.

thank you.

@AppleboxCinema

For a driving scene you'll probably want to use a more neutral or flat profile because the car might be going in and out of shadows which will change the exposure. The flatter profiles will give you more dynamic range in case the car goes into bright sunlight or darker shaded areas.

What picture profile would you recommend for a basic talking head type of video, that would be indoors?

I tend to use Cine4 for everything unless I REALLY need the extra dynamic range from the Log formats. Cine4 provides a great amount of dynamic range but doesn't need an extensive amount of color grading.

Holllly crap. Best explanation on topic. Period.

Thanks for watching! I use a different camera now, but these talking heads were all shot on the a7SII using Cine4.

Hello, firstly great video and content. I just brought a new sony a6400, earlier I was using my old Canon 600D for indoor youtube videos. I have few questions: is Sony a6400 is good camera purchase?? because however, I shoot, my videos look washed out with loads of noise and graininess in them. I use 2 led light panels but still, videos are noisy and don't look how it should be in real. ISO is always 800 unable to change it. are sony cameras like this?? OR Am I shooting it wrong? I see many other videos on KZread which look stunning

Thanks for the comment, great question. I've never used the Sony a6400 before but I have to imagine you can change those settings somehow. Think Media has some great a6400 tutorials on their KZread channel. From what I've seen, it's a great camera. It will probably just take some practice before you're more comfortable with adjusting the settings. I'm still learning the best way to use my cameras!

Why the pictures with picture profile SLOG3 had the ISO pumped up to 1600? Was this done by you or is it the set up of the picture profile that does it automatically?

One of the limitations with SLOG3 is that the ISO doesn't go below 1600. That's built-into the camera unfortunately. One option would be to use an ND filter on your lens so that you can bring the exposure down without having to close your aperture too small.

Why do you change the camera settings when shooting in s-log? Wouldn't it be a more fair comparison if the camera settings were the same?

It's been a while since I made this video so I don't really remember, but I know that some of the camera settings change depending on the profile you're using. For example, if my memory is correct, Slog doesn't let you shoot below ISO 1600, so I had to make adjustments to the f-stop and ND to get a similar exposure.

what profile do you use for your talking head shots? can you make a video on that?

I actually use pretty much the exact same profile for everything. If I'm in desperate need of more dynamic range I might switch to Slog-2 or Slog-3 but more often than not I stick with Cine4 and I adjust my lighting to make sure exposure is right.

“You will never unsee this” then I said “I am going to unsee this” then I still can’t unsee it

Lol after I uploaded the video I thought, "maybe it's not that bad" but as soon as I saw it on KZread it drove me nuts! Freaking compression artifacts kill me!

What equipment & pp was used for this video of you speaking?

Hey there, so I used the a7SII to film everything in this video and I'm using the Cine4 PP because my lighting conditions are pretty good and consistent. I didn't need the extra dynamic range of a Log profile. Thanks for watching!

How to setting picture profile a6500 plese

@AppleboxCinema

4 жыл бұрын

I haven't had a chance to use the a6500 yet but I have to imagine the settings are fairly similar since they're both Sony cameras.

Hi, I record videos in my Nokia 7 Plus mobile. I use Davinci Resolve 17 for Colour Grading. So please advise me Colour Management settings in Davinci Resolve software.

Oh wow I wish I could help, but I've never used a Nokia 7 mobile phone for filming. I'm not sure the best settings for that phone, or what settings would be needed to manage your color in Resolve. I've only ever used dedicated film/video cameras that have a lot of setting controls. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
