This channel is all about recording an amateur photographer's journey to learn filmmaking. Along the way it includes videos on travel to interesting destinations, and tutorials on topics that I had to learn that could be useful to other amateur filmmakers.

Prince Albert, what a peaceful town, like to visit it in the near future ❤
Well worth the trip, particularly driving across the Swartberg Pass, which is truly spectacular.
Stel voor verander you gimble response. Epic Footage. Jare in Jonkers ge-bly.
Beautiful place to live! Thanks for the comment on the gimbal. This was my very first drone, and was filmed back in 2013. Both my technique and the drones have improved a lot since then.
Hi David, what an impressive video ... as of today, I'm starting on Davinci and still confused on first step; I'm importing iPhone HDR videos on both ipad & desktop versions to work with them on SDR screens and even tho there a lot of videos, I saw 2 methods: 1.- Project options > Color Management > Color science: Davinci YRGB Color Managed, Automatic color management (ticked), Color processing mode: SDR, Output color space SDR Rec.709 2.- Add to each clip or timeline a "Color Space Transform" via node with settings: Input Color Space: Rec.2020 ; Input Gamma: Rec.2100 HLG (normal or scene) ; Output color space: Rec.709 ; Output gamma: 2.4 or Rec.709 (people from others videos doesn't seems to agree) Do you know which settings or method will be the most correct one ? Thanks beforehand, love your content !
Hi - it turns out that both of these methods accomplish the same thing. However you were missing one important step in Option 1: which is that you need to right click on of all your incoming iPhone clips, and from that pop-up menu, select "Input Color Space" then from the sub menus: "Rec.2100", then "Rec.2100 HLG" to tell Resolve what color space your clips were recorded in. As a quick explanation of what is going on here, there are three color spaces you need to be aware of: a. The input color space which is the color space you shot your clips in (Rec.2100 HLG on the newer iPhones) b. The working color space in Resolve (which can be set to many different things, but the best space is "Davinci Wide Gamut" as it can display a huge range of colors and contrasts). c, The output color space, which in your case, it sounds like you want SDR, which is typically Rec.709 Gamma 2.4. (On a Mac, I prefer to use Rec.709a as this is the same as Rec,709 Gamma 2.4, but will display without a gamma shift in QuickTime.) To make this process work, you need two conversions: (i). Before editing and color grading, you will need to convert your input color space to your working color space (ii). After editing and color grading, you will need to convert your working color space to your What is going on in Option 1 that you describe is that Resolve is doing the color space transform steps for you automatically. You simply have to tell it, for each incoming clip, what that clip's color space is. And for each Timeline you need to tell it what is your output color space. What is going on In Option 2, is that you are having to do both of the conversions (i) and (ii) yourself using Color Space Transform nodes. I find that this is more work, and I have not been able to see any difference in quality using either approach. So it's your choice, but I prefer Option 1, but don't forget to select all your iPhone clips, and right click them to set the incoming color space. The advantage to Option 1, is that if you decide to output the timeline in a different color space, you can do it simply by changing the output color space in the Project or Timeline Color Space settings.
Hi David, what a beautiful location and video you got here. Hope to go back again in the Fall. I am heading there in two days and wondering if I can manage the Fitz Roy picture with waterfalls in the foreground with Manfrotto PIXI EVO Mini Tripod. I mean if there are elevated rocks where I can put the tripod to get a good composition. I plan to do the entire hike and want to avoid carrying a full-sized tripod.
Have fun! Unfortunately I expect you’ll need a full height tripod.
❤❤❤❤ gran lavoro col tuo drone, complimenti. Io sarò sulla garden route tra 10 giorni❤❤❤❤
Have a wonderful time! I recommend booking lunch at Newstead Winery if you are in Plett, and Bramon Winery as a second choice if they are booked.

Great video. Haven't been skiing for almost 8 years but back then i really tried hard for PMTS myself using dvds and books. Thought much about visiting a ski camp. Lovely group and impressions. Make me get back to ski again. Big thanks!
Glad to have inspired you. I highly recommend the camps, as even though PMTS seems simple, it is hard to know what you are doing wrong and how to fix it without having a bit of expert help.
Stunning🎉🎉❤❤
4:41 amazing spot, really thanks if you can share the location, this is my dream spot ❤
I wish I could remember how we got there, but honestly I have no clue! Sorry!
I dont know how many times i see this video series, all are amazing. This video, i impressed with the color of 2:35, surreal. 4:16, is top spot , i dream to visit this spot. Thanks for sharing, David
Thanks Taufik (I hope I have your name right!). I wish I could go back with today’s iPhone and DJI Pocket 3 and shoot it all over again.
Hello, will I be able to use davinchi resolve 18 and dolby vision in imac 2014?
Yes - you will be able to use DaVinci Resolve 18.x on your iMac 2014. However you won't be able to see HDR on that screen as it is not an HDR capable display. So HDR and Dolby Vision while possible, are not going to be practical as you won't be able to see what your output will look like.
Inspiring!
Amazing video David! Super fun to see - great work!!!
And many thanks to David Skok for pulling this beautiful video together promoting our Bahia Formosa.
David, This was Massive!!!! Ramen--Sligo Ireland
Thanks Ramen!
Очень красивая женщина!
Wow! Our beloved Plett❤

Very informative video, thank you! I just stumbled upon some hdr iPhone footage which of course I had to to some conversions to
Beautifully captured. Going to spend a weekend soon. Thank you for the incredible footage.
Excelent tutorial, thank you so much for the afford you put in this. Just one question. At 13.00 minutes the Rec709 output settings should be Rec709A instead off Rec709 with a Mac. I wonder if there is any similar problem with HDR and output gamma. thank's again greetings Richard
Just WOW! Your videos always have the best and most unique scenery. David, if you're anywhere near forests with autumn colours ... I would love to see such a video. Are you and Mally never coming back to Plett? Also one of your best videos was the one where you were with your mom and traveling to Die Hel ... but I can't find it anywhere on both your and Mally's channel. Thanks for the wonderful short videos!!
cool
Great images. Wondering why you haven’t uploaded your recent videos in HDR format.
Wow amazing skills, how did you convert the SDR drone footage into HDR?
I have to say, that in this video 90% of the the turns are not carving turns. You carve the snow only after you have pivoted your skis first, during the traverse. A carving turn must have at least an apex with carving skis at the point where the skis turn fastest. If you pivot your skis too much there will be no apex. So the start of these turns are not good enough and the pivoting saves the turns. What you need is a much earlier active ankle edging of the skis, but the edgings must be prepared... The best way of preparation is to pull back the new inside ski (valley-side ski during a traverse) forcefully, so that the ski-tip gets pressed to the snow and now you can edge it by your ankle (supination). Then you edge also the new outside ski by your ankle (pronation).
You are quite right. We are just students early in the learning process.
I visited do many towns in South Africa, o don't remember this one, let me ask my wife😂
What month was it❤
great work! thanks!
Apple prores 422 is not available on 18, or not at least in Windows Studio version.
Hi guys, I happened on your video again. What a blast. Last time I enquired about dear Emmy, and you said that she has her good days. I do hope all is well with Emmy. She's a fellow Cancerian, and what a lovely creature!!! I have to say, looking ay the video again, Mally is sooo her mother's daughter, both interms of looks and mannerism. Lol I've long since moved on, used to be a Woolies manager in Plett and attended a great B day bash of her's. It actually was the biggest and party if that entire year! Do let me know if she's still with us. All I can say, is what a lady!!! Xxx!!!
Jacques, how nice of you to write with such kind comments about Emmy. Sadly she passed away in 2021. She was about 90, so had lived a good life. She is sadly missed by all of us in her family, but we celebrate the many lovely moments that she gave us. I hope all is well with you. Sending our family's best regards!
My very greatest gratitude to you, and wishes for excellent success in all your creative endeavors. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together to help others, such as myself, learn and grow in our craft as well. Thank you for the time, energy and knowledge that you put forth in making this tutorial.
My pleasure. Best of luck with your own projects!
Breathtakingly beautiful ❤❤❤ Cheers... Ramen
Looks like an amazing trip, David! Been following you since your Patagonia trip. Still hope to see more videos from it as well :D
Hi Bryce! Great to hear from you. Oh damn - you reminded me of all the work I still have left to do to catch up! (May never happen given how much time these things take.) I hope you are still enjoying your photography.
So that means we cant export this to mp4 hevc ? For youtube rec 709?
You can upload HDR videos to KZread in either HLG format or HLG with Dolby Vision. However, be aware that anyone not using a true HDR display will see a very low contrast version of the video, which you might not like. So if you are going to do that, I recommend doing a test, and watching the video on a non-HDR screen to see how it looks, as that is how a very large subset of your audience will see it.
@@DavidSkok1 basicly most iphone users uploading competely overexposed HDR videos = when you run it on TV but when you open it on mobile its fine due over 1100 nits. But there are users than can properly export videos with correct colors About recording what if i dont want apple pro res and want to record lets say 60 minute travel video .
@@allstarbury For most amateur filmmakers, Apple Pro Res is not a good idea as the file sizes are huge. The quality of video recorded in H.265 (the normal format) is excellent, and most users won't be able to tell the difference. That will easily allow you to record 60 minutes and much more for a travel video. That is what I personally do for my videos, and I just came back from a 2 week trip to Namibia where I shot about 3-4 hours of footage on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.
@@DavidSkok1 so you understand me . All i want to learn how to export NON overexposed video and upload to youtube . Example ? Just run on your android TV tourister channel on yt For me is 100% blow out overexposed
@@allstarbury I do cover that in this video at this time point: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoxlqLSQlKjceqQ.html
Nice town. Was there about 10 years ago, not sure now
Thank you so much for this. Very helpful information.
This it what i needed.. thank you❤
Wow, you had some amazing weather, autumn colour and great light.
It was incredible! One of my favorite life experiences. I hope you have a chance to go.
@@DavidSkok1 Thanks, I'm going at the end of March next year.
THANK YOU times a billion, this is very helpful
Thank you fot the video!! I'm searching for new phone and i'm lost.... I have found some flagships with HDR, HLG, dovlby vision, HDR10, HDR10+. Some of them gives you the choise of HLG or HDR10, but some others have only dolby vision... What do you recomend for the better colors and editing/coloring (post production) choises? Thank yoU!!
Can you afford to buy an iPhone 13, or 14 Pro? They will give you spectacular results.
@@DavidSkok1 thank you for your response! My fear is the Dolby vision ecology grading and exports. As I can see iPhones with Apple ProRes and DV are the best for videos…
@@DavidSkok1I can see from many videos on KZread that iPhones has the best motion flow than any other android even higher on price. Every android phone, even flagships seems to have something like drop frames to my eyes and low details also… correct me if I’m wrong. Maybe it’s post processing pure from the videos that I saw, but your opinion is worths for me.
@@AthanEvans If you are using DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or Premiere Pro, to edit your footage, you do not need to worry about using the iPhone's Dolby Vision, even if you are going to use it for SDR projects. The footage is very high quality, particularly because it is 10 bit (billions of colors), as opposed to 8 bit, and has very high dynamic range. That footage works well in either HDR or SDR projects. Personally I don't recommend using ProRes as the files are simply too large, and impractical as a result. Yes there is some small improvement in quality in certain situations, but in my view it is not worth the hassle of these huge files.
@@DavidSkok1 Thank you Sir!!
What should be the colour space tag and gamma tag during custom rendering in the case of SDR?
I recommend using Rec.709-A which is designed to make sure your videos will play correctly in QuickTime on Apple computers, as well as work perfectly for uploads to KZread, etc. (I believe the A stands for Apple.) The full settings for the Color tab are: Color Science: DaVinci YRGB Color Managed Unchecked - Automatic Color Management Color Processing Mode: SDR Rec.709 Unchecked - Use Separate Color Space and Gamma Output Color Space: Rec.709-A Unchecked - Enable Dolby Vision Unchecked - Enable HDR10+ Unchecked - Enable HDR Vivid I hope this helps.
@@DavidSkok1 Thank you for your reply, If you see some of my latest videos, I am getting hazy output, I was shooting 60fps 4k, dji mini3 pro and iphn 14 pro max, videos look great in the time line but after rendering it is hazy , any solution?
@@irelandrone Can I ask you to please upload the following: screen capture showing me the settings on your Color tab for project settings, and screen capture showing me your Export settings, screen capture of your Preferences, General Tab (System) and a video that has the hazy problem. Here is a Dropbox Link you can use: www.dropbox.com/request/x1seWFrRRfa4a21xLAc1 Thanks, David
@@DavidSkok1 Thanks so much for this; I uploaded it with my real name and email ID. so generally, I am shooting in dji mini 3 pro D cinelog profile, 4k 60fs and simple 4k, 60 fps with iPhone 14 pro max. Surprisingly if you see some of my old videos with dji mini 3 pro and iPhone, they were super smooth even after rendering but then I changed few settings in vincci and then this hazy thing is happening, I forgot what the old settings was.
@@irelandrone Can I ask you to please just place a text file in here that has your Cell phone number and Email address. Then we can start a real time conversation, and probably move this to a Zoom call, where I can walk through your screens. So far, what I see tells me that you are doing pretty simple HDR grading. But your Color Page settings are a little confused, which might explain the problem. I hope to be able to able to help you fix this.
Excellent tutorial! Golden
wow thanks for that magister class so thanks from colombia,bogota!
Greetings to you in Bogota! I hear it is a wonderful place.
Great explanation! I have a quick question: I tried the exact settings (though my footage is SDR, but my timeline is HDR and I've played with the SDR footage in HDR timeline for a "shiny" look), things look great in DaVinci (M1 MacBook Pro with XDR display) though when I export H.265 the colors are washed out. The video IS HDR for sure, but looks like it has wrong gamma/tone mapping. What might I be doing wrong? I've tried various settings as the original settings in your video didn't get what I wanted but no avail. Whatever I do, the exported output has much less contrast than what I see in Resolve. I'm on 18.1.4.
Hi Can, what device and application are you viewing your exported video file in? Can please try viewing in QuickTime on your MacBook Pro with XDR screen and tell me if the problem still persists. Also please see my comment that I added when Resolve 18 came out on how to add Dolby Vision in the Resolve Export page. If that doesn’t work, I will try other steps with you to fix it.
Great video! Especially, the hacks for uploading.
Методика такого катания далеко не новая. Основы её были разработаны в 1973 году с большим количеством подводящих упражнений.
very helpful. thank you
You're the man!!!!! Simple and what I needed! I knew you didn't have to adjust curves to get the colors back off the iPhone. I just had to figure out the Color Management page and thanks to you you figured it out for me! And then you covered Slog footage and made that so simple, omg you're GOATED in my eyes! Thank you sir~! A like and a sub is the least I can do
Delighted to be of help! Make sure you’ve read the update comment that explains how to export Dolby Vision directly from DaVinci Resolve without using Apple’s Compressor
Dit regtig baie mooi.
