How to I import 1000 shots into different tracks at once? so I can sync afterwards

INSANE tip!! 🎉 The video we’ve all been looking for 🤣

From my observation, aligning the RGB peaks doesn’t always work, if one colour is very dominant in one of the either shadows, mid-tones or highlights. I was editing an image taken whilst hiking, and the image had a lot the sky showing. The sky was predominantly blue as it was decently clear day. So blues will dominated the highlights on the histogram - and trying to align the peaks created a massively yellow hue across the image (too warm). So I instead focused on making sure the Red and Green peaks were within 1% of each other, and ignored the blue peak. So how would you better apply this rule/suggestion when trying to get the prefect WB? Seems like in the end, it comes down to using your own visual judgment. One thing that someone told me, is to place your mouse on something that is meant to be white, and then make the histogram adjustments that way. By placing your mouse on that white item, you will then see the histogram values for that area - and then simply try and make sure the values are within 1% of each other.

Add me to the list. I bought a z7ii about 18 months ago. A few times, I turn it on and the lcd screen stays black but it always came on right away if I shut it off and started it again. Also I noticed many times if I flipped vertical, the LCD would go black. Flip it horizontal and it would come back. Now today on a shoot, I flip the camera on and the screen won't come on at all. Tried literally everything, nothing would get it to come back on. An hour later, it's coming on again magically. All in all, I've been completely dissatisfied with the z7ii. Indoor white balance SUCKS on it as well. Now to hear Nikon is denying the issue, maybe I need to start looking elsewhere for my next camera. Tired of this.

Thank you James!

Great tip

This is insanity

I do love the idea of PHYSICAL 🖨 Prints. I've been kinda torn between this option & another that Vanessa Joy does: More/less same process -- shoot the day of, camera connected to native sharing app, download a few images to quickly edit in Lr mobile & then put it to a new Album within the Ipad/Tablet & have it play while being showcased on a stand or presented to the couple/passed around by guests. Then theres that SpotMe (?) app option.

Wow - this simple tip was a lifesaver. Wish it didnt take me 12 different YT tutorials to find yours! A+++

Well, I've been syncing by hand (I mean ear) for years cuz' I didn't know there is such a feature in premiere. Just yesterday I've come up with an idea to fasten my workflow to put on SOLO the main track and the track I want to sync, the first on left band and the other to the right. This fastened my workflow by 10x at least. Now I am mind blown that the whole process could be executed with 1 single click. Well.... we always learn something new.

This is insane that we have to do something like this. What happens if you have a huge shoot with lots of dialogue and cameras?

James great selection off portraits

"how to sync multiple clips by slowly placing each audio/video track to individual tracks like we are trying to avoid"

It's wonderful thank you..

you just called her dress white? dude, there is ivory, babypowder, linne, eggshell, pearl, bone, dove, ghost, not just white you noob, lol. anyway you are making thing just neutral , but not necessary correct. maybe use a color checker

I just watched your video on white balance I have Lightroom mobile free version my histogram doesn’t show the red blue green numbers do you know why?

Beautiful!!! Wonderful Idea 💡 ❤

Check if you have Color Managed in Project Settings -> Color Management on the free version of Davinci, I have the paid version.

Also, Davinci resolve is so much better than premiere pro, like switching from a toy to a real piece of software. :)

Great video. What do you hover over the white with?

Great Video

Wow , thank you

Great video.. What lighting do you use?

Great video! Would you be able to do a video on contracts etc? Really confused on how to start doing them and what to put in it. Thanks in advance 😊

I’ve never heard of this technique before. Thanks for sharing! I’ve never had a rule for it, just adjusted the slider to what I thought looked right, which is probably very inconsistent.

Thanks James Pearce, amazing tutorial!

I have an issue with syncing three video clips with audio. I think the main issue is that my two cameras shot a hour interview with 4096x2160 24fps in .mov whereas a friend shot 3840x2160 59.94fps in .mp4. Will your sync method get me to the point I can then use multi camera editing?

I own a Z8 and is great. Then I decided that I wll go with cheaper gear Nikon D850 because I tought that I dont need a Z8 camera coz Im not a pro, and it cost a lot. So luckily I bought a mint D850 but decided to hold on to Z8 until I try the D850. I had previously owned a lot of DSLRs but have honestly got spoiled by the Z8 and forgot how it is to shot with a DSLR 🤣 Few days of shooting with a D850 and it was clear to me how good Nikon Z8 really. Its an amazing camera. I was so happy when I got Z8 in my hands again and decided it is gonna be my camera for a long time. If it doesnt fail me of course ☺

What a ugly sounds for a $5,000 camera

Good work for your website!

The last 3 sound disgusting

Nikon Z 8, turned off monitor screen on back of camera. With monitor box rechecked the screen is still black. Only the viewfinder works.???

Really loved these tips James, quick question - why should we ignore the green percentages of the histogram?

Does it work the same in regular Lightroom?

Nikon z8. Screen won't turn on.

Did you have to convert to DNG? I heard NEF files didn't play nicely, maybe it was from an old video!

Those sooc video shots are incredible 😲

Went from Z5 to Z7II and now the Z8. This one is a keeper. Amazing piece of kit. Multiple camera of the year awards is deserved.

I have the same problem. I didn’t drop it down or hit it and the monitor started to look like yours

This is a fantastic tip which I will use extensively in the future. Thank you.

do you listen to the music that you inflict on the view of your videos while you put it together?

Not a Z8 user but still shooting with the D810. Glad to hear the new Nikon's AF is working for you. I shoot mostly wildlife, nature, macro & tried the 3D with dynamic & group for wildlife & it has a mind of it's own sporadically jumping all over the place causing missed photos. Any tips that might help besides getting a Z8 or 9? Also, you heard from Nikon about the Z6-III?

looks great! where is the bts?

The Nikon z8 has poor battery life also high noise due to non mechanical shutter. Overall not a good camera. It’s like a iPhone on steroids.

Great video! I just got my Z8 and am coming from the D810. Wow what a difference in use! Your wedding shots with the flowers are awesome. What lens is that?

This is the first time I have seen the histogram used to adjust white balance. I also did not realize the RGB values in the histogram would change when the pointer was moved over the image. I noticed you were adjusting the Temp while the pointer was stationary on the image. How do you do this? I like how you made the distinction between technically correct and artistically desirable.

With the Z8 and Z9 you don't have to map the F1 to single focus. You map it to Recall Shooting Functions and configure that to 3d tracking with Subject Detection turned off which makes it easier to lock focus on an object without Subject Detection moving the focus point to an eye. Just like the old Subject Tracking from the 5, 6's, and 7 but on steroids.
