I have a KZfaq channel, I'm from Brazil, and I was impressed with your channel, the images, the editing, the explanations, they are very good, I'm going to buy the ZV E10, I want to learn how to improve my videos. Congratulations, another subscriber.

Man! been waiting for this for a long time! I own a ZV-E10 and a sigma 18-50 2.8, i love how you can make super profesional looking stuff with this "cheap" equipment, i would really love to see that tutorial but i would rather watch how you color grade, would love to get a cinematic look out of it. I use FCPX which i think is very limited to color grading but i will definitely move to DaVinci when i have the time. Thanks!

Nice to hear that, grading tutorials are on my list but I need to have more time and get more audience before I make my color grading video series.

@@dario-digiovanni it probably doesn't have more noise than standard profile on iso 100, it's just that shadows are more crushed on standard profile and higher on slog3.

Even watching on youtube I couldn't quite see the banding but I saw the wrong color but even that wasn't bad. Would you like to make a review video for bmpcc 6k? It would be really fun to watch. It would be really nice if you could share the presets in Body with us. Thanks a lot again. note: the way you look at and deal with things is truly unique. Do it for yourself.

Thank you! It’s very refreshing to see someone advocates for using Slog-3 on 8bit camera! I’m gonna try it with my ZV-E10! But before that just couple questions: 1. In Resolve project settings, which settings do you use for Color Science and Timeline Color Space in this workflow? Mine currently are “DaVinci yRGB” and Rec.709 Gamma 2.4, and what are yours? 2. On zv-e10, if I set custom white balance with a decently accurate middle grey card, do I still need to bumb up the green, or it’s only applicable for AWB?

@VilkanVisions 10 ай бұрын

I'm glad to hear that! 1. It depens if I use CST then I use deafault settings like you mentioned, but recently I use more often Davinci Color Menagement, so with that settings instead using CST node I have to choose "input color space/sony..." on sony clips 2. For custom WB you probably don't have to, I didn't test too much how accurate it reads WB from gray card because I use AWB with this camera most of the time or I just set WB manually to my taste.

@VilkanVisions Жыл бұрын

If you you set everything manually then you need to adjust exposure tools or lighting so the image is overexposed by 1.7-2 stops. Exposure compensation works only if you have at least one exposure tool (iso, aperture or shutter) on auto.

PP off + DRO + Creative look custom settings will allow you to get a similar picture directly from the camera, with a wide dynamic range, without any difficulties. slog and extended color spaces are not justified on 8 bit cameras.

@VilkanVisions Жыл бұрын

I have also a video about my straight out of the camera settings, make sure to check it out. But I still prefer to use slog3, it's not hard at all, I would argue that it's easier to use and I get much better results with this PP. Everyone is repeating this 8bit S-log3 myth on KZfaq but if you know what you're doing then it doesn't matter if you shoot with PP on 8bit camera or not.

So you sacrifice dynamic range in camera by setting a high saturation. Then you sacrifice dynamic range in post by underexposing the result. What was the advantage of S-Log?

@VilkanVisions Жыл бұрын

Dynamic Range is connected mainly with luma not saturation and I don't underexpose it in post because it was overesposed when shooting so I just bring it to normal level. Log curve is squished a lot so it captures much more DR even when you overexpose by 2 stops.
