you still have to learn so much!

The amount of work and detail that was composed into this video is incredible.

"I studied photography, then specialized in colour grading", I subscribed so fast that my phone fell on the floor!

Sony a7siii says hi. 10 bit 422. :] 13.5stops of dynamic range in Scine.sgamut3. It comes pretty close for only 3K and has the same sensor as a FX6. Color grading on it is exceptional. Also you got a Hermoine vibe going here lol 😆 😂

After shooting 10bit 4:2:2 in GH5 and noticing how it grades, I felt sorry for DSLR shooters with the 8Bit 4:2:0 limitations. Truly, 10 bit 4:2:2 is a game changer, now imagine what 12Bit 4:4:4 can do.

This is all true ! but wont make a difference if most people don't have the equipment to view or see it anyways ? unless in the pro movie world.This in fact only apply to green screening, or for a colorist for editing.

@@christopherdunn317 Why doesn't it make a difference? It already made a huge difference in the editing process where you have a much harder time getting the results you wanted without destroying details or creating ugly color banding, blotching when you color grade. Most Hollywood movies digitally deliver their final products in 8 bit anyway, but that 8-bit file has a much better quality than your average 8-bit because of those liberties they had in post production (and ofc their original files).

imagine the 16bit devices Arri, Red, Canon c500 i can only imagine i haven't looked at that canon just yet but i can only imagine it has a full 16bit.

just got a sony a7iii and ive learned so much from trying to figure it out and this video just basically summarises it all lol. great video, those who know will appreciate it

Probably the best combined and out-of-the-box explanation I have enjoyed seeing ever. Much appreciated.

This is the best video on this topic I have ever seen, congratulations!

The amount of information in this video is MIND BOGGLING 🤯 I studied electrical engineering so its fascinating to me that you did such a great job of explaining compression. I think this has to be the best explanation of all the things that contribute to the limitations of post production color grading for the prosumer market. Definitely a lot of things I wish I had known/considered before upgrading a year ago - but thats what growing looks like ◡̈

Learnt more about color from this one video than 100 other videos on KZread. Please make more talking about more in-depth about color concepts like color space, dynamic range, gamuts and more

best video.......every beginner colorist must watch this video

This was one of the most informative video in terms of bit rate and coloring. Long story short understand tools and theory is important. Thanks

This is one of the best tutorials ever

Great quality video! Very underrated channel 👏🏾

Why Your Videos DON'T Look Like A MOVIE? I thought this is going to be a another Resolve/Premiere Video showing some tricks and trying to sell their LUTs/Course. But you revealed the real factors ie., dynamic range and bit depth. Love to see videos of Film Vs Digital comparison with same lens and exact framing....

Wow need to watch this again! So much information and so well put by you thank you!

Can't believe it took me this long in the youtube rabbithole to find this great video, shame on the google algorithm for not recommending it earlier in my search! The amount of high quality information in this video is fantastic, you've gained a subscriber.

very informative thx! You also can add color science of the camera: sometime it is good some time it is bad (difficult to correct while grading). I own a panasonic GH5...700€ DR is low about 12 stops (LOG footage) you can record 4k 422 10 bit 400Mb/s Color science can be corrected with some non destructive luts (GHALEX used as an IDT mimicking Arri Alexa Classic), and you can use a simple color management in Davinci Resolve, staying in the Davinci Wide Gamut in the worspace: Log footage -> GHALEXto LogC->LogC3 to DWG cst -> ......edit..... ->DWG to Rec709 cst. Every camera and lense has his own limitation, just try do the best with them :)

i have been editing videos and teaching myself with youtube and skillshare for 3 years now. and nobody has ever relayed this information in any of the thousands of videos i have watched.. thank you. and i love your hair. im a ginger too

My immediate thought, is work with the footage you have, not against it. The best result will always be working with the qualities of the received footage.

You have explained a heap of info that I've never quite understood, but now have a much better grasp of. Thanks for explaining this all so eloquently.

Love the info and the flow of content. I'd recommend getting some consultation on the lighting setup of talking head shots, back lighting hair, straight on flat key light, etc can be changed and make this video even better

Love this tutorial. I knew most of this but you pulled it all together in a systemic way that makes more sense. Just about best explanation I've seen so far. Congrats!

Wow! what an amazing video! I have researched for the topics you discussed individually, and haven't gotten a clearer view of these subjects before, and that too in one video. Though I am just an amateur filmmaker at the moment but I would love to collaborate with you one day. Keep on making such amazing videos. This one was really a big help. Thanks a lot!

This was fantastic 👏👏👏thanks for making it. I learned a lot

Watched it til the end and subscribed, this video is pure gold Jess! Such a huge sharing of great knowledge, THANK YOU!

Awesome vid! I’d love to see a ‘da Vinci resolve basics’ type of video

I also use Resolve. I would like to see a "how to color match all of your clips" video. The clip matching feature is the obvious choice, but I found it did not give me even decent results.

this is a really informative video. incredibly thought out, thank you.

This has to be the most comprehensive explanation of camera color science on KZread

Hello Jess, this is the best explanation I've ever heard on the subject. Helps me a lot. Thank you very much 🙏 Cheers, Dave

Mind blown. Not all of this was new to me, but gave me much deeper insight to why colors work the way they work. Also loved the message near the end. Got an A7 III last year and the "Let's get it as right in camera as possible" gave me all I need.

great useful and pure gold info in this one. Thank you.

Amazing video! lot of complicated information presented in an easy to understand way with a smooth delivery/pace. Much appreciated

Such an amazing thing that you’re a colorist . I really love colour grading . Just feels so good to make a flat picture look beautiful.

Yes, indeed! It is a very satisfying process.

Great video overall! Some discrepancies Im struggling with. But mostly: I wouldn’t say Hollywood films are capturing images at ‘at least 5 or stops more.’ Even high grade cinema cameras like the Alexa Mini LF capture just under 15 stops, which is only 4 stops more than even the oldest DSLR which you quoted as having 11. I would say it maxes out at 4+ stops for a truly cinematic image, with the average difference btwn newer mirrorless cameras and higher end cinema cameras to be only ~2 stops. But those couple stops-to your point-go a long, long way in making the visual more cinematic.

There is enough blown out sky and highlights in movies too, but it's kept to a minimum. Lighting is controlled in movies, so they can get the dynamic range where it needs to be in most cases.

This video was incredible.

Such an well put together video, its been a while since I could say it with such confidence. Video is really informative, all points are well described yet made easy to digest too, sound and video quality is brilliant and it all tied together by really charming sounding as well as looking presenter. I would learn a lot in life in all guide videos were made so well!

Fantastic video! Thanks for explaining everything so clearly and structured!

Superb, clear and concise 👍

Incredible explanations of complex subjects! Well done!

Best video I found on log, color space and gamma as far as understanding the concepts. Thanks so much

Thank you for taking the time to make this. Everything counts!! 🙏

THIS VIDEO DESERVES MORE RECOGNITION, YOU HELPED ME A LOT

I have been researching colour grading for a minute now. You just demystified sooooooo much for me!!!! Thank you Lekker dag verder ;-)

Love your video. Very well explained!

That was one of the most informational videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks for all the great info.

I've been looking for a good summarized explanation of color grading and cinema...thank you for this!!!

Best video on the topic!

Great job with this video! Similar to others on here, I've researched some of these topics individually as I encountered the terminology, but I've never seen all the relevant topics covered concisely and precisely in one place. I wish I'd found this video when I was starting out.

Wonderful video. Easily the best I’ve seen so far on the film look and color grading. it is an absolute CRIME that it only has 2400 views

YOU ARE THE BEST! SO MANY INFO DISTILLED IN 13 MINUTES! THX.

Hello from France. Love this video !!! Very very interesting and well explained !! I can't wait to see your other videos. Thank you 🙂

This was giving the answer to most of my recent questions on video using DSLR lately. It would be nice to see a video on what we can actually get out of a high end mirrorless camera with 10/12 bit and 4:2:2. How to set it up and what we can do in post to get closer to a movie look. I will anyway watch all videos by Jess as they will appear. Great work, thank you so much :D

Any half decent mirrorless camera can do 10 bit 4:2:2 today. You don't need "high end". Even the DJI Mini 3 Pro does 10 bit 4:2:2.

Yes, of course more dynamic range and more color space are better to have than not. We all want an Alexa and a crew to carry and handle it. However, I have seen people do amazing work, including color grading, with relatively humble gear. A whole episode of "House, M.D.," normally shot on movie film, was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II, and it looked pretty damn good. Rather than covet cinema cameras I can't afford, I want to know how to get the most out of the gear I have. So, let's focus on that and how to know you're getting it right in camera. I own the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, which is 8-bit 4:2:2 and the Lumix G85, which is 8-bit 4:2:0. They do pretty well for themselves all things considering, but I know I need to be more deliberate about lighting and exposure. If I ever start to feel like my gear isn't good enough, I go watch "Find Me at 4K" by Peter McKinnon and Matti Happoja, shot entirely handheld on the E-M1 Mark II. KZread is actually a great equalizer because it's highly compressed, and it only plays in 8 bit anyway. So, shoot with what you have, and don't make excuses.

subscribed after watching this videos, its incredible !!! ...

this is the first time I watched you video, Great Video, please keep making such videos, it will help us to create better quality content

This was amazing!!

This was so informative! All around covered everything so well. Would love to see how you handle A7Siii S Log 3 footage. Thanks you!

Tanks for all this helpful information. Keep going!

What a rich overview!!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing.

You are simply incredible. That’s a lot of work and priceless info you put into this video. I just subd 👍🏽

Excellent content. Soooio well made, compact, informative. Thanks.

BTW, thanks for your detailed explanations! It will help me with my decision on deciding between an 8-bit vs 10-bit external monitor for my laptop.

Wow!! That was awesome.. thanks!! 👍💐🙏

very well explained, amazing content

This Video deserves more attention!!

Thank you. Great video!

best video explaining those differences between amateur and pro gear and quality, thanks!

Awesome video!!!

Awesome video Thanks ♥ 🙌🏼

incredible video, thank you!

really nice overview, thanks so much

I've been bought...great video...I'm a follower from now on

thank you for sharing, great informations!!

So the REC709 is more often or not a 8bit colour device such as a DSLR or Mirrorless where as the Canon C500 is a 16bit colour device? Nice video by the way explains a lot and the information is given rather well that it dont feel like overload.

Thanks, super informative.

Loved the video. Thanks.

Nice content. really very helpfull. Thank You

Great information!

Your explanation of these very complex interconnected technical issues was easy to understand and very informative. A couple questions would be A. can we add depth and colors in post that aren't contained in the original 8 bit footage B what are the limitations of most monitors and TV's?

very clear!

Girl you are freaking amazing.

Hi , thank you for the valuable information contained in the video. Does encoding 8-bit videos to ProRes 10-bit (for example) help to achieve a better color grading ?

Great video for a Noob like me! Thanks so much! That explained soooo much!

Wow, very helpful. Thank you so much for this great explanation. Now I want you to color grade all my footage for me. haha

To make footage more ‘film like’ you can use additional correction curves after shooting or sometimes even in camera ( like log ) to taper the highlights and smooth out the low end… film rendered to screen is never fully black and many films have a low-key look keeping most of the image in a more saturated color zone… there are many lighting ratios and techniques that help create this look…and you left out frame rate blurs etc… great video! Do another one where you fill in the next steps !

The best video, thanks...

Me: watching this in Nov 2022 and realizing how laughable a lot of the previous cameras were when you consider that we now have cameras like the fuji xT4, sony fx30 or the canon eos R7 with 4k 60p clog 3 10bit 422 and much more for less than 1500$ usd it's truly mind blowing. I can't even imagine how powerful cameras may be in like 10 years from now.

That was very informative, thank you so much mam

Awesome video. Thank you 🙏

This video is soo useful.. thank you very much
