Are You LOSING QUALITY? How Shooting Panasonic LUMIX V-LOG Can Save You!

If you want to get the most control out of your video footage, you NEED to be filming in a LOG profile like Panasonic LUMIX V-LOG! It gives you more dynamic range and keeps details that you might lose otherwise. In this video, we'll talk about what V-LOG is, why and when to use it, how to expose V-LOG for the best results, and how to color grade to get the footage looking normal again!

Great video Dunna. I would add one thing….and this is preference, not right or wrong. You discussed exposing for the highlights. I personally don’t do that. I ensure exposure is correct for the subject in the scene. If the highlights are over-exposed when I do that…I don’t care. Subject gets priority over highlights. Again…neither is right or wrong. Just preference.

Very interesting episode especially setting the zebras to 95%. I’ll use that for my G9m2. As for the Colour Space Transform and the Gamma setting, I use Gamma 2.2. This is because I have a domestic/prosumer computer monitor which is set to Gamma 2.2. And KZfaq uses Gamma 2.2 as well. Basically computer monitors, phone screens and anything else that is viewed in a bright room or outdoors uses Gamma 2.2. The Gamma 2.4 is for very expensive Colour Grading Reference Monitors where the Colourist works in a dark environment that is perfect for Gamma 2.4. KZfaq expects Gamma 2.2 so it is best to set your Davinci Resolve project to 2.2 and render out to Gamma 2.2. Just look at your waveform when you switch between the different Gamma settings. You’ll be surprised. A professional Colourists, Darren Mostyn, taught me this subtle difference.

Hi guys! I have just started creating my video content. I screen recorded my PS5 gameplay in 3840 x 2160 (24 fps) and made a music video clip for KZfaq to test how it will look. H.265 and H.264 export from DaVinci Resolve Studio with 80000 kb/s bit rate did not work for me; my video lost a lot of quality after uploading on KZfaq. I tried different options to keep quality of the video as close to the original as possible, so I finally used QuickTime DNxHR HQX 12-bit which was optimal between quality and the file size. But what I cannot understand is why my video, once uploaded on KZfaq, looks quite alright at 2160p and really awful at 1080p on my Laptop (on my iPhone 14 Pro Max both look good). I thought, maybe it is typical for 4k videos to look bad at 1080p because of compression, but when I had a look at other channels, I could see that it is not completely true. Could you please explain or give me some tips on how to choose the best raw video resolution and exporting options in my case?

Great video and really helpful. Question: how useful and in which situations do you consider to use a lut in camera S5IIx (to be applied, not monitoring only), shooting in V-Log of course?

@dunnadidit 3 ай бұрын

If someone were shooting something that needed to be turned around really quickly. Like, for example, sports, weddings, or quick turn around social media work! Its cool because if you have a lut that keeps it in mind, you can get some of the dynamic range improvements of LOG, but still have "useable" straight out of camera footage.

Hello ! I have a question. We are filming in +1 (VLOG) , so does your LUT grading (in post prod) include a lowering of the exposure to bring back the exposure to a" normal "value? (I'm French sorry for mistakes).

@MartinAaberge 5 ай бұрын

Love the S5. How do you battle the noise in the lower end of the range? I find VLOG to be more noisy in general. On both native ISOs.

@dunnadidit 5 ай бұрын

Honestly, the best thing you can do is just to expose to the right light I mentioned in the video. Try to keep the bulk of your image up out of the noisy areas of the signal. Unfortunately, noise in the dark parts is inevitable in all sensors. That being said, shooting V-LOG doesn't inherently have more noise... it only has more noise if you're trying to get something out of it that it's not equipped to get. In general, the dark parts of the image will get pushed down to where the noise wont be visible, but if you try to retain dark parts of the image that aren't reasonably retainable, you'll need some noise reduction to clean it up for sure. Hope that made sense!

@@MartinAaberge depending on the look youre going for you could push the shadows down even if you crush them a little. Honestly the noise from my s5ii is more pleasing than my previous a7iv.

If I'm shooting internal Prores in V-log, then do a colour space transform, should I pick the input gamma as Apple log (because it's apple prores) or V-log?? I assumed it would be V-log but it doesn't look great..

@dunnadidit 5 ай бұрын

Great question. You definitely still want to be selected on V-Log. Apple log and Apple prores are not inherently connected. ProRes is a video compression type, not a colour space. As to why it didn’t look right… if it was all set up correctly, I’m not sure what would be causing that.

Great tips Dunna! I’m going to try that lut to help with ettr. I switched from an A7iv to the S5ii and to me v-log is so much easier to work with than s-log3. When i do the cst to rec709 the image and colors already look incredible. Most of the time I just tweak highlights and shadows and call it a day.
