I was trying to learn how to correct my footage or at least get started with normalization. Your video was simple, to the point, and easy to follow. I can't tell you how much your video helped me. I subscribed and I'll be watching more of your videos soon as I continue to edit my short film! Still learning what to do, as we filmed with two different cameras. Thank you so much!

@@kiwicleothebudgies2738 Do you mean that one side of the clip is brighter than the other? If so, you can do a gradient edit where you add different adjustments to each side of the clip.

Great Info! Question for you, Is the LUT already baked in your clip this example? Your RAW footage seems to have more color initially than mine. I'm just now picking up a bmpcc4k and having trouble with grading. Not sure what to do.

@BoGaines

Жыл бұрын

Hey there. I have no LUT baked into my footage. When you shoot RAW, it doesn’t bake it in. Only in the lesser formats. As far as color and saturation, a lot of that can depend on how your light is set up. I’ve found with darker shots, it seems more saturated and contrasted, and with bright shots, the opposite.

I’d love to see this video done again with matching two shots to have the same look.

@BoGaines

Bo Gaines yeah, I’m new so sorry for my lack of terminology. But exactly like you said, say one shot out in a park at day and the other in a mall food court. Both have different light sources, white balance etc. But how you go through making them match.

hey, is this normalizing process basically the same thing as the color correction done with a colorchecker card/passport?

@BoGaines

2 жыл бұрын

So… I have a color checker also, and I use it with any project that makes sense where lighting doesn’t change. It helps with color and white balance for sure, but it doesn’t help much with the brights and shadows. So I would use the color checker and then do the few little tweaks afterwards.

need complete color grading tutorial.

Is there a reason you change saturation and highlights / shadows in the colour wheels section rather than in the RAW settings first? I've heard it's better to change these'in camera' on the raw settings first, as this creates less deterioration, but not sure I can tell the difference, in HD at least (not tested at 4k or above).

@BoGaines

3 жыл бұрын

Interesting question. I don’t have a specific reason to why I use wheels rather than the Raw settings other than that’s what I’m used to using. If the white balance is really wrong, I like to get it close in the Raw settings because I do agree, it’s much cleaner “in camera” and you get some color distortion when you really push white balance in the wheels.. I would say, get it as close as you can in camera, then get it as close as you can “in camera” then use wheels.

@@BoGaines Thanks! Can I also ask, do you know what changing the 'exposure' in the camera RAW tab actually does? The manual says it changes the 'image lightness in units relative to ƒ-stops', but surely it can't change the actual f-stop the image was filmed with? I read somewhere that changing this (in Camera Raw settings) is identical to changing ISO (in Camera Raw settings), but then what is the point of the setting? Also, the manual doesn't mention ISO at all in relation to BRAW...

@BoGaines

3 жыл бұрын

You’re correct. The exposure is the ISO. Essentially you have 3 things in-camera that affect light. ISO, f/stop, shutter speed. ISO is basically just ‘gain’.. the camera’s sensitivity to light. The higher gain also has higher noise. You can’t adjust f/stop in post because f/stop also increases or decrease depth of field/focus area. So the computer couldn’t change that. You also have the option on the left panel to change your ISO from 400 to 800 for example. That does the same thing as changing the exposure.

@deanolium

2 жыл бұрын

Apparently this depends on the color science being used. You see, the ISO setting basically determines a mapping from the sensor's brightness value to the displayed brightness for each pixel. While the exposure is just adding/subtracting a value from the mapped brightness to create a new displayed brightness. This would be the same if the ISO mapping was linear (like, say ISO 200 was just ISO 400 minus some set amount for each pixel), however this isn't the case on Gen 4. That said, the differences are pretty minor unless you really crank the exposure setting, and in Gen 5 the mapping is linear so there's no difference.

Can this be done with Filmora 12?

Hi there - still wondering if you're using your BMPCC4K or have you been upgrading to the 6K pro for example? Did something changed in your workflow if so? Thanks for the Video by the way - just came back from two years or so when I first saw this video.

@BoGaines

Жыл бұрын

I use my BMPCC4K sometimes but I’ve been using the Sony a7iii almost exclusively lately. The files sizes are much smaller, and the quality is insanely good - only downfall is it isn’t RAW. The 6K is a great camera, but huge files are not with it unless it was a big video project.

but you are working in log format, where the color wheels are made for rec 709, so this wont work for critical color work, like product video graphy, etc u should either use a tachnical lutto transform in rec709 first, or us ethe camera raw and convert back to rec 709, then do all those stuff that u showed. the way u do it is wrong

Is there a quick way to balance multiple clips to the same settings or is that not really feasible?

@BoGaines

Are all these clips shot with the same camera, lighting, lens, etc.? If so, you could copy and paste the settings to each clip. Then just do a quick check to make sure they all look correct.

Using multiple cameras makes it more challenging. If you can normalize the footage for the two separate cameras they should match pretty well. Then add the same color grading to both.
