that's a really nice thing to hear!! glad you think so! welcome to the channel :)

Loved it!, So helpful as I'm starting to learn color grading.

Hiya, I'm fairly new to the in-depth photography/videography world! I have always been interested in videography, I used to shoot at home shorts with my friends on my old Flip Video Camera and take pictures with my mom's old Nikon D200. Since I am in the middle of college, I figured I would take the leap to try out some more serious work and splurged by getting the A7IV after doing countless hours of research. I landed on your channel in the middle of researching and I've loooooved all of your videos because they pretty much cover everything I could ever want. Especially when it comes to achieving the look I want with my footage for my school/personal projects! Looking forward to more vids and congrats on 5k, you'll be at 10k in no time :)

I just got the A7IV and finally am able to apply the things I’ve been trying to understand. Step learning curve but fun! Editing and color grading is my next beast to tame. Wish me luck

Congrats on 5k dude! Another good video 💪

Hey everyone, Loved the video! Amazing look you achieve on your footage. I struggle a lot with my colorgrading usually and this video was the first one that made me consider change to DaVinci for my color grading. Amazing work!

@victorlaforteza Thank you for the great Video. What do you mean with "CST"? Catalyst Browse from Sony? Thats the only free editor, which i know, who can grade up the 10bit files from my A7IV. If there any significant quality differences to downgrade my 10bit to 8bit and grade up in da Vinci, or record in 8bit and grade up the native 8bit file in da Vinci? Because in da Vinci, always it is a 8bit file only.

Can you please make a video on white balance to be set with Sony a7 IV during different shooting condition for specially slog 3?

@VictorLaforteza

2 жыл бұрын

No special rules with SLOG3 just set white balance as standard! General guideline outdoors during daytime, you set it at around 5600k. During sunset you are now reaching 3000-4500K depending on what colours you want it to show.

This is a great grading process. The prism blur effect is new to me so I’ll definitely try that out. I was wondering though, why don’t you use color space transform to convert the footage to Rec. 709 first, then add a lut in a separate node? Just curious because I do it that way and I’m wondering if there is a benefit or not! Thanks!

@VictorLaforteza

2 жыл бұрын

Prism blur is a must try! Great question! The LUT I created is my rec709 CST :) either I use that lut or a CST based on what camera I used! The LUT is the filmic rec709 conversion for slog3 specifically for a7iv/a7siii/fx3. Some LUTs are made for conversion and some LUTs are for looks (applied after CST). The typical grading workflow is still there just a little different based on my a7iv grading! Hope that helps!
