Hey everyone, TH-cam deleted all of my comments because I moved my channel to a new account! If you have any questions leave me a new comment! And as always, if you want to support my channel... buymeacoffee.com/JohnStambaugh
I really like your style mate! I feel like youtube is oversaturated with channels trying to be the next Peter Mckinnon, and I really appreciate your simple down to earth approach.
John. You’re a breath of fresh air with your slow, humble, and patient approach to making this video. Thank you 🙏
And thx for making this video.
Thank you for this video, John! I enjoyed watching your process of color grading. I personally shoot most of my clips with manual focus, but use back button focus technique to quickly grab focus. It works! In Davinci Resolve I have created my own node trees with certain node order and saved them as Powergrades, which makes color grading very systematic and efficient, and I use F-Log in 90% of my clips. Finally, there is just something very unique in your colors and thanks to your LUTs we can all create with the same beautiful look!
This was awesome!!!! Thank you! One of the best vids I’ve seen for F-Log.
About to invest in an X-T3 which will fill my initial needs nicely. So this tutorial is super helpful. Thanks.
Best F-log tutorial I have seen. Thank you so much from a beginner! Yes sir, more F-log vids please.
How to create LUTS with the color transform built in would be an awesome video. Your Big Sur LUT is superb.
I'm beginning to watch every video of yours. Please keep making new videos. I love your content, it really helped me! Much love, stay safe.
This video was super interesting to see as a beginner but it also tells me how much I need to learn. Reading scopes, knowing what adjustments change what, etc
Ok before this video, I didn't even know F-log existed. I didn't even know you could shoot in anything other than normal video settings. I feel like I learned A TON about video and the xt40 in general compared to every other TH-cam video I have found so far. I agree with someone else's comment, I really appreciate your down to earth approach. These kinds of videos are SO helpful for a newbie. Thanks again :)
This is gold, love what you're doing with the Fuji system. Would love to see an editing breakdown of your videos and an in-field behind the scenes of how you plan and execute your shots
@@johnstamw German Keyboard is a pain when writing comments in english ;). Basically any of your Wedding Videos, they're all awesome! Btw, I love your Big Sur rec709 LUT, purchased it a while ago. Would you recommend getting your F-log LUT aswell? Or is it just good for getting rid of the extra step with the conversion LUT?
Thanks John. I've been making wedding videos recently and I've been using f-log ever since I bought my X-t30. Been watching a lot of your videos recently. Very informative!
Awesome video my dude! Youre super talented and your grades look amazing!
When I hit the lottery I'm buying you and I a Sony FX6. Until then, Fuji love all the way. Great video as always friend.
This was maybe the most helpful video for me in terms of XT4 movie settings and the colour grade step by step was so useful, thanks so much for this
So glad that it helped Rob! Working on an updated version now, which will include f-log 2, anything I missed in this one? or extra things you want to see?
really inspiring shots john!
just picked up an XT4 and looking at really learning color grading
Best work I ever see on TH-cam
SUPER helpful. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much John) For all your videos not just for this) A lot of info to use it)
Very insightful, well done!
Just grabbed the f log preset pack going to start playing with it later on today. From what I've seen it looks amazing
@@johnstamw actually yea lol. I think I'm gonna need some help
just want to say, your wedding videos, grades and tutorials are amazing, im pretty new to video on my xt3 and color grading and will try out davinci resolve, many thanks from the netherlands 🤜🏽🤛🏽
hey James I seriously appreciate you saying so!! Thanks for the encouragement!!
Needed this, thanks very much John! Happy to have found you (thanks for your comment/s on my videos).
@@johnstamw Too kind, thank you. Need to up my technical skills for sure. Enjoying your videos - very helpful!
Super helpful video mate! Thanks!
Great job , I feel a bit more comfortable playing with video on my Fuji thanks to you
that's what i love to hear. thank you!
Great video!
Bro! That picture of the guy praying over bread behind you is part of my childhood. My grandparents always had that over their dinner table and still do to this day. Wild to see it in a video where I was just trying to learn about some Fujifilm stuff 😜
Fantastic, thank you so much for this! I've been shooting Fuji since the X100, but only recently started video (my X-T4 is in the mail....zero regrets allowed :D), so I'm learning all I can as fast as I can. Fuji's color science is so phenomenal, but I knew there had to be 'what is a thing that is like RAW, sort of' and thus have been watching lots of f-log videos; yours is super helpful with all the settings details. TY!
@@johnstamw Exellently helpful :) Oh I am sooo excited for the XT4 to get here and to start shooting stills and video with that intense delight new marvelous gear brings!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you sir. More f-log content please 🔥👍🏻
This video was super helpful man!!
Thanks for making video on TH-cam. Love your video so much
Thank you for the great video, helped me out so much in getting started with f-log editing and davinci resolve!
I'm so glad this video helped you out!
Saying Hello ☺️
Luv my 'new' xt3 from the moment I've touched it for the first time 😍
I like down to earth youtubers.... Great vid my friend... You just got another subscriber
LOVE THIS!
Love ya for this video...Love ya in general brother, keep going with the content, never stop!
@@johnstamw MOST DEFINITELY, GOD-GIVEN LOVE U HAVE
Thank you for detailed information on how you color grade and edit your videos! Also nice tips for me
just bought a Fuji XT30m2 and think it's a great camera. I'm new to videography and flog and clolor grading etc. Thanks. 💯
Thanks Tesla! I have a couple of other videos about F-Log vs Classic Chrome, and eterna that might help you as a beginner too!
Love the channel man! Great job!
@@johnstamw No problem. You are absolutely right about there not being alot of F-Log resources online and the Fuji's are just beasts.
@@johnstamw Likewise.
ITS HERE!!!
@@johnstamw will do man!
Thank you for sharing this video!
So helpful man thanks for this! And congrats on the release of the fuji lut, cant wait put this to use! How do you find manual focuing at a wedding? More reliable? Thanks again man!
👍👍👍thank you! Very helpful information!!
AwEsome content.You deserve more views.
Thanks for this very informative video. I hope you'll gain more subs over time - would be well deserved!
Thx for a really good explanation.
you're welcome, hopefully making an updated guide soon including f-log 2!
Great sharing! Thanks
Great video! I've watched a ton of tutorials on youtube related to cameras and my biggest complaint is that they either over simplify the information or are excessively technical in their explanation. Really enjoyed the balance between the two, thanks for making it easy to understand yet still explaining it thoroughly! Cheers!
wow, i really appreciate this compliment! I do hope to fall right there in that gap between technical and simple. Unfortunately, that takes some time with longer videos it seems, but I'm glad it helped.
Great video man!
@@johnstamw Small world! I love your work!
My man just made an entire movie on color grading !
Looks like you stomp around northern California... love to buy you a coffee sometime, love your videos!
I've restrained myself from watching this video until I had purchased the X-T4
Watching this video now so yes, I've got the X-T4! Also got the 16-55 2.8 lens
Will use my X-T30 as backup/second camera from now on.
So excited!
Already got a question.
You've assigned AWB-L to the button in the front. When pressing the assigned button it shows a blue icon on the screen. But when releasing the button it disappears on the screen. Is AWB-L still active when the button is released?
Great video and super useful. I hope you can share your classic chrome tunes and some footage. 👍🏼
Great video! I was hoping you'd take the camera outside for some shots explaining the zebras and exposure workflow a bit more but perhaps you can do that in future videos.
Well done
Very nice!
Thank you!
Great job, I've not even bought my Fuji yet or started video. But I'm close to getting started. So this is super helpful and will save for later.
@@johnstamw I bought an X100F to start to learn the menu settings. I'm swapping over from Olympus (even though it's a great camera) I want one system to learn and master.
@@johnstamw Yea, I'm going to lead with my heart in choosing a camera brand. I'll dig into your playlist this week.
I just noticed you're like the modern version of the daily bread man painting in the background, just on the laptop! haha, great video man, you cover everything!
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, John! I'm a total beginner with no previous experience so this really helped me a lot! Dumb question though, what is that software/app that you just used to color grade videos?
Thank you.🙂
Thank you very much))
Hi man! I find this video so helpful that i buy your lut as far as i got my x-t4 just to let you pay bills! Definitely more F-log videos, i really enjoy your video. What lens do you usually use with fuji? Do you shoot handheld?
@@johnstamw i'm impressed and happy to hear that because i shoot weddings with gh5 only handheld and i was worried about ibis in x-t4. Good luck!
YOOOOOO LUKAS!!!!!!!
Great video again! Have you ever tried the BMPCC 4K or 6K ? I think it could fit for your shooting and grading process?
beautiful shots! do you use gimbal?
great video! btw do you hold the AWB lock while you are recording?
Random, but my Grandma has that same painting in the back with the guy praying. She’s had it in her kitchen since I can remember! Lol
Hi John! This was suuuuper useful thank you for taking the time to record and edit this! Question: Do your settings for f-log allow you to record under 640 ISO? Or do you use nd filters?
@@johnstamw then would you touch the exporsure wheel to adjust for that? i know in past videos you dont like nds
No way to go below 640. ND filter is the answer.
I'm thrilled to attempt doing films for fun and thanks for sharing. Unfortunately my X-t20 does not have F-log but it is still interesting to watch and I'll save this video for the future :D
and a question, why do you use 2 nodes like that? I am not accustomed to the program (nothing other than windows movie maker/photoshop). But I wonder, is it to copy node 1 and use it as a "new" base for node 2? :)
@@johnstamw okay thank you tons for your response!! Yes I wish I could try the classic chrome out. Been watching a few videos about it. :D I think your explanation was great! :D
John, are you using the 4k h.265 files while editing or do you have to use proxies? Thank you!
Ciao!
How do you deal with zebras and focus? in some shots i couldn't see if the subject was in focus...
Zebra at 70% gives great exposure for skin if you're working with close-ups, having the slightest zebras on the cheek will give perfect skin exposure depending on skin tone.
Hey man what do you think of black mist pro!
Great video! I am about to shoot my X-H1 in very sunny conditions on the beach, should I use a ND filter even if shooting Flog?
Honestly, I often don't use an ND filter and adjust exposure with my shutter speed, but technically speaking using an ND filter to maintain the 180º shutter rule is the "correct" method.
Hello,fisrt of all, thank you for this informative work.Is the lens effective in coloring?what do you use as lenses:)
@@johnstamw I don't quite understand which lens you are using with the adapter.
@15:02 On the X-T3 (and probably others) if you are in manual focus on video mode and you hit the AF-L button it will autofocus (provided you have an AF lens) that will save you a step of having to switch into single focus, grab focus and then switch into manual focus.
Yes that’s a great note!! Thanks for sharing that!
@@johnstamw Of course, I don't know if it did that back in 2020 or not, it could have been added in a firmware update. But I just learned it myself, so I thought I'd pass it along! Great video by the way, it was very helpful!
Hey and thanks for the video. Which settings do you recommend for resolve when working with files from the h2s with film simulation? Best wishes from Copenhagen, André
hey andre I responded on the other comment
Awesome Video! Just a quick question. If you have a limited amount of budget and you want to get the best out of video quality. Would you buy the atoms Ninja V, or spend the money on lenses?
@@johnstamw thanks a lot!!!
🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿 thank you , such educational content
does your fuji lut pack can apply directly to the flog footage or i have to apply the actual lut from fuji first and then apply your lut pack?
Hello i really need to learn from you host!
@@johnstamw yes that's what I'm doing with notes lol
This was a good and informative video! Can you tell me what is the difference between Fujifilm's LUTs Flog_to_Bt.709 and Flog_to_WDR_Bt.709?
@@johnstamw Okay thanks for the reply. I haven't used WDR LUT before, but I'm going to try it when I saw that you use it :)
I believe you
Said there was a fuiji LUT you have ?! How do I grab one!
hi i have a question, i brought ur flog lut but should i use it just on f-log file or i should convert the flog file to rec709 by Fuji official lut or Danvinci Resolve Color transform first?
does it has an overheating problem when recording 4k video or 1080p video ?
i wondering if Flog can use to imovie?
Is your Big Sur lut a .cube file? Will it work in premier?
I don't see Fujifilm F-Log in the INPUT Gamma. IS that something i need to add myself first?
Hi John :) and merry Christmas. I'm having trouble finding info about banding when shooting flog, I'm using the x-s10 and it doesn't have 10 bit internally. I notice people are talking about exposing +1 when in log, so maybe my under exposing si causing banding? it's bad! hope you have a tip 🙏
@@johnstamw Thanks :)
Amazing. & Thank you. Looking forward to shooting music videos in f log, once I buy a camera. (Xt4 in the future). -CHRIS*STARR
Hi is this your Big Sur LUT? I bought this on your website but mine LUT looks different
Can u add more footages graded with the flog luts.. Also include how you exposed those shots.. put some different lighting conditions..
John Stambaugh thanks a lot.. will definitely buy this lit soon.. I was waiting for the log version of big sur lut
What were your camera settings there? and did you use any type of filter in front of the lense?
@@johnstamw i guess it might be that in Panama since we are closer to the ecuator the light is just a bit more harsh over here. My skies are always way too bright vs the rest of the frame specially in color chrome
John sou do Brasil curto seus vídeos. Você consegue um desconto nos seus Luts?
Yo! Thanks a lot. I periodically run sales. Maybe I should do one soon!?
Hi, I just got the X-T2 and was wondering if its worth it to shoot f-log during the day even if its
8- bit. Whats your opinion ? Thanks in advance!
I would try it for yourself! You’ll find what works for you but I tend to find 8bit limited for Log recording leading to artifacting.
Kind noob to color grading, how do you make sure there's some consistency across the whole video when you colour grade? If you do micro-adjustment at like each frame?
@@johnstamw cool thanks
howz flog of x100v?
I’m kinda new to video but looking to shoot video for our make-up and skincare studio. Is F-Log something I should consider using to get accurate color of the products?
@@johnstamw Thank you for the reply, sir. I was actually just thinking product photography, but now that I think about it, it will likely be important to show the colors on individuals. I'll do some testing. Thank you, again! :)
Are you based in Kansas City? I saw some footage of Union Station on a vid of yours. Go Chiefs!!
