Hi I started using your picture profile for HLG3 (haven't posted vids yet) but it is INSANELY Cinematic. Thank you for an HLG3 guide!! Vloggers always say don't use it but it is easily the best profile and the one I have been looking for.
DUDE YES!!! I can't wait to see it make sure to share it with me! If you want it to not as cinematic I tell everyone to drop the black level lower but I think between +5-+10 gives you a filmic look +5 is more of an overall profile setting!
As a beginner to picture profiles and cc. All I have to see is you killed it! You made it super simple to understand and I now no longer feel confused. Thanks!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the structuring of your videos with the introduction and the segment chapters. Finally tutorials that are also pedagogical. You make it clear what viewers are going to get if they watch your full video. Makes it so easy to get what I need and come back to it rather than hanging out in the hope to get something useful ...like other VLOGers. So many hours of wasted watch time. Something so simple makes such a big difference. That is why i subscribed which I do rarely. I know what I am going to get right from the start. Thank you.
Bro I have been toying with HLG for almost a year now and watched so many videos on it and none of them gave me that aha moment like this one! I just could never get it right in post. Thanks alot!!!
Hey Jason! I LOVE the look of my videos now that I've followed your tips! I will say though, as someone who is brand new to color grading and correcting, I could not for the life of me figure out why my exported videos looked awful. Couple hours later I realized all I had to do was change my sequence setting to Rec.709. A friendly tip for the fellow color newbies!
Hey bro! Glad to hear the profile is working out, I totally get you on the issue with the sequence setting. See every NLE (editing software) is different and most automatically export out as rec709 as their base setting for color management. I'll keep this in mind tho!
You got the best video gear channel i've found on TH-cam by far. Just bought the a7r iii to complement my gh5s gh5 setup. Thanks for the solid advice brotha
It's so good to have correct colors and Paul Leeming's LUTs are the best corrective LUTs out there. I'm using HLG w/ rec.2020, though I'm considering going to Cine2, w/ the A7III, due to it's 8 bit 4:2:0 limitations.
Sky Makai I’m really enjoying the luts and liking the profile a ton, even his slog2 input lut looks so good. Just shot yesterday with it and after used them. Had to find this gem!
I’m loving the HLG picture profile. I was really curious to find out your settings. I’m going to try them out tomorrow at my daughter’s birthday party. Now I want to know your sharpening process in post! P.S. I used to go camping with Luke all the time. Cool dude, he’s a beast!
Roy now way you know Luke!! Small world hahah. Let me know how they work and if you face any issues message me on instagram and we can work on them together! PS: Happy Birthday to her haha
hey jason! i just shot some test footage using your settings and i gotta say i am impressed with how filmy (is that even a word?) my footage came out. definitely gonna be using this for some upcoming travel content... just wanted to stop by and say thanks bro!
I agree. The HLG3 settings you're using look very cinematic. My a6400 is actually arriving tomorrow. Getting a handle on good profile settings for video is important. I'm sold on HLG3.
What a great video on HLG3. Was struggling until I discovered your Sony settings, Leeming Luts and your tutorial. Now I can really get started on the meat and potatoes of video creation.
Hugely helpful my American friend. I'm a long time broadcast news cameraman, but this picture profile, colour correction/grading world is brand new. Thx again!
Jason -- this was a real find! I bought the Leeming luts which come with an incredible pdf file which would be worth the price of the luts alone. Complete detailed instructions on how to set up four Picture Profiles and then set up your Sony. Save all that in MR mode. I have the RX100vii which uses these settings without an issue. Thanks!!!!
I'm Jason Anthony most def man. I do have one question. I recently just got A7III and went out to shoot the past weekend. I set up my recording settings almost identical to yours from another video. Recorded my B-Roll in 120fps. But today when i went to import the footage into Final Cut ProX, in the inspector it’s showing 60fps. When I’m in my 2nd movie mode that i have set up for 120fps it shows that. So my question is, could i possibly just have my settings wrong and i was actually shooting in 60fps?? Or is it in 120, but editing softwares only show up to 60?
Heck yeah dude! I discovered my love for this PP last August-ish. Originally, I was concerned about it containing a higher noise floor according to Sony's site but when exposed properly, it's almost noise free! Thanks for sharing your two cents Jason.
Lane McCall thank you so much for checking out the video Lane! Yeah I don’t get it people say it’s a noisy profile and I’m shocked because I have yet to have that issue 😭😭
Great video on a dope picture profile. You managed to be very informative with samples/demonstrations in the grading process and still made it simple for anyone to understand. I applaud you. I'm using HLG3 with leeming lut but you already knew that.
Lol I'm playing around with HLG3 right at the moment, just did some test shots in my back yard. What a coincidence lol. Confirming that HLG3 is a beast.
Worth every minute watching, thank you for the examples back to back. I bought the leeming luts a month ago and have not been able to get a good grasp on them compared to my previous use of Omeneo primers. This clarified a ton for me and gives me more practice to aim for. Thank you for taking the time to make this informative content.
Wow Jason this was exactly what I needed. The a7iii has such a nicer color science than my old a6500 and I'm confident with your hlg 3 settings it's gonna speed up my workflow a lot.
Hi Jason, I'm not sure if you'll read this, but here it goes. I use an A7 III andI have a doubt regarding your suggestion to use -7 in the Detail section. I've done several trials (both for RAW photos and 4k video), and seem to get better results with the in camera sharpening (= 0) rather than applying sharpening in post with the "unsharp mask" on Premiere. I simply get more noise when I try to add sharpening in Premiere, and I'm really trying to be delicate... have you found a more notorious diference? It just makes me wonder if it's just easier to leave the in camera sharpening and then not worry about it later, but since you and other experts recommend it, I wonder if maybe i'm missing something... Keep up the good content. I love what you're doing!
Wow, great in depth video. You really do a great job of explaining things in your videos, just ordered the a6400 and I will definitely be using this picture profile!
Just started shooting video. I have an A6400 and use HLG3. This video helped me so much! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I really need to get that Leeming LUT tho.
Jason, your videos are tremendously instructive. Thank you for this! I've been shooting with no PP but have been toying with the idea of HLG. Now you've convinced me.
Hey! Skin Tones looks really awesome. I'd like to see a full color corrected project using this settings with leeming lut. Do you have a project that you could show us? :)
Hi , great video, i bought the leeming HLG picture profile for Sony, and had some doubts in how to use it, use HLG or HLG3, Change setting like you do (black level etc), so i talk direct to Paul Leeming the creator of leeming lut, he said: "HLG and HLG3 have identical dynamic range. I have a post here somewhere showing it. Stick with HLG as that's what I built the LUT around. HLG3 is HLG with +10 saturation, that's all." When you buy the luts, for sure you receive a PDF with the Sony camera setting that you have to do to best use this picture profile, the black level ,that is 0, the saturation +15 etc etc. Please Confirm (I'm Jason Anthony)
john radon well here’s the thing John Paul’s settings are directly towards his style of filmmaking which is documentaries, he tries to get everything grade wise done in camera and once you use his lut not much from there. I like a cinematic style and personally felt his saturation was way too much. For my style the settings I use tend to work best. I’d say put both in your camera and do comparisons and see which you prefer!
The LUTs mentioned in this video are the v601 Leeming LUTs and it works pretty nicely as shown here, they have been updated since then and you would be best to try Paul Leeming's recommended settings or perhaps request the previous 601 version.
Hi Jason. Your channel is amazing, i like it more than peter mckinnon‘s. The way you’re talking and explaining things is so helpfully. I just want to say, thank you and keep going💪🏻
DOPE VID bro. I've been struggling to shoot properly and grade well SLOG2. Hopped over to CINE4 to get a bit more ease, but honestly, since I'm not a pro, I find myself always missing the in camera settings - like exposure. Shooting real estate (I'm the agent too) we're dealing with dark espresso kitchens and bright windows - and trying to nail the shot while retaining data and low noise is difficult. So, do you think HLG3 is a good option? How's the lowlight? Awesome content as always.
I'm still dialing in the low light with this. For me the gym scenes I had to shoot between ISO 1600-3200 and some footage did have some noise in it. I think as videographers we have to position our talent with as good of ambient lighting as possible to help fight it ya know. The shots I had my subjects under the gym lights at say ISO 2000 looked better and cleaner than ISO 2000 in a dark space.
What a great vid explaining it. thanks for posting! I just grabbed the a6400 and was having a hard time finding stuff like this. I'm getting into real estate videos, these settings should work pretty good for that too right?
Ahhh finally it's out!! Thanks Jason. Hope you're feeling better as well! I have a question. How is the HLG3 with noise in low light/night time shooting? I've had experiences where I get noise when shooting with HLG3 with f2.8.
Haha it took time bro I need different clips in different situations. Try exposing for the shadows a little bit more, dont completely blow out your highlights but try and lift the shadows a tad!
Md Towhidul Islam agreed bro also, sometimes you will notice color noise especially if you shoot wide open and the background is super shallow like at f1.4-2.8. That’s normal tho, you see it in movies and tv shows also. Color noise and noise from lack of light are different. Sometimes we can just do our best to prevent it but do what we have to do with certain situations.
@@ImJasonAnthony Wow answered a question I wasn't even asking. Was having issues with some shots I was working on where, regardless of my grade, or LUTs, or even trying to be subtle, I was encountering color noise in the background that was driving me up a wall (shot at f1.8-f2). Tried neat video and over things to minimize it and was struggling. Thought I was using quirky LUTs or just over-saturating. Ended up masking the subject and de-saturating the background (which was unfortunate as it was a beach) and that seemed to put me more at ease, but nonetheless. I have a lot of fast lenses and try to shoot pretty open (as I can't always use a long lens for that bokeh/compression), are there any tips to minimizing potential color noise shooting pretty open?
Jarrett I too have noticed color noise, if you look at my promo video I did using HLG3 after this video you can notice it in a few shots as well. It’s the codec most likely, I get color noise in slog2 and cine4 at times. Know it’s nothing you’re doing it’s the profile, there’s a difference between noise caused by low light and color noise. You probably already know this you seem well versed in profiles, settings, and premiere. I sometimes too will use masks and such. At the end of the day we can’t be too critical, it’s hard for us when we’re surrounded by awesome content created by others. If you take a deeper look into the bigger guys films you’ll notice a ton of imperfections. I think they’re just well versed is keeping the audiences attention away from those imperfections with strong impactful footage and others using those hype transitions everyone loves haha. Keep it up I’d love to see your work bro!
Jarrett as far as color noise like you mentioned it seems to be more noticeable the wider your open! I’m really not sure how to reduce it and now you have my brain thinking haha I’ll share anything I find, link up on Instagram so we can stay in contact and share what findings we get👊🏻💨
Hey Jason, we tried your settings and we love the results! 😍 Thank you so much. Could you also suggest the settings for other Sony cameras that don't have HLG, like the Sony A6300 in our case, so the clips of both cameras are match? Thanks again.
Awesome content! helps a lot! Im shooting real estate photos and videos and I'm still trying to get correct colors for interior clips. It's especially hard when filming historical / old houses with shitty lighting. Sometimes I get nasty green tinted walls in hyper modern homes with humongous windows due to sunlight reflecting off the greenery outside. HLG3 seems to be a good bet
Amazing video, as always! I did have a question for you. Cody Blue uses a Cine-4 picture profile and likes to use a specific custom ZEBRA setting (97+) to protect the highlights and try not to underexpose the rest. He also uses custom Zebra setting for skintones (65 +/-5). Is there a specific zebra setting that you use or recommend for your HLG3 custom picture profile when shooting indoors and outdoors? Thanks for your help sir!!!
Very good. You are a great teacher. I recently bought a Sony a7iii and a6400. It has been 18 years since I was in photography. Cameras had no video then and the tech was easy. Now I am overwhelmed and do not know where to start. I started by going out filming on Auto. Day was overcaste. color turned out too fake. Greens were too vibrantly fake. I suppose I have to find a few settings I like and put them on Custom buttons to save time. What do you think? I do like some saturation but not obviously fake. I have to learn how to adjust in post. I have the Corel software.
Hi! I have been using HLG for most of my videos using the Leeming LUT, but after watching your video, I am gonna try your HLG3 Settings! One thing I noticed while shooting HLG is that you need to overexpose by a bit (+0.7 - 1.0), otherwise there will be some noises. I will let u know my thoughts of your profile after using it in the next shoot! Anyway, keep up the good work bro! Subscibed!
Hey man! Nice and informative video! I've been using the Leeming LUTS, and would say they have recommendation about PP Settings, I mean they have their own PP Settings. So did you mention it? Or it's better to use your recommendation about the settings? May u help me with that? Thanks in advance
I have a Sony Alpha 7S III and everybody under the sun kept talking about how S Log 3 was the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe if you shoot weddings with a zoom lens, but not if your shooting indoors with a 50mm prime lens at night it's not. In order for me to get a workable depth of field with my Zeiss CP.3 50MM T2.1 lens, I have to close the iris down to T5.6. I use two GVM RGB 50W Full Color Studio Video Lights and a Aputure B7C smart light bulb at full blast at 5600 degrees Kelvin to light my subject and in order for me to get the image two stops over exposed and keep my T stop at 5.6 I have to crank up the ISO to 40,000. S log 3 is not for my needs, and shooting ProRes Raw on a Ninja V burns way too much storage, so HLG3 it is for me.
On the siii I personally love the new slog3. I totally understand your case using that specific picture profile for situations you find yourself with lower light shooting interiors. For something like your situation have you tried cinetone yet?
Thanks for this video, really helped, between your good self and Gerald Undone it helped me make a decision on how to extract the best dynamic range out of the sony a73/r3 and indeed help match the footage between them with HLG3 to get the consistency across the two cameras whilst not having the nightmare of grading s-log and dealing with exposure and noice in varying circumstances. A big thumbs up!
Just like photos Justin, you have to let more light in so being with video we have a fixed shutter speed we can rely on a variable ND filter to allow more light, the fstop, and lastly ISO which is never recommended unless you absolutely have to!
Thanks for this, you inspired me to pull my finger out and buy the leeming LUTs, they're great!! I'd recommend them to anyone It's weird how your hlg settings aren't what are recommended with the Luts, howcome? You're not going to get quite the same accurate baseline. I'm sure it doesn't matter though!
Hi Jason, I purchased the Leeming LUTs and I noticed that the HGL Lut in the pack is made for Rec709, yet you have your setting here for Color Mode of BT2020, the Leeming site says to ensure you use the right settings, does it make a huge difference? Have you tried it with Color Mode Rec709? Thanks for this vid!
Thank you so much for this video ! I used to use cine4 ...is this profile good for low light ? If not what do you recommend and I’m glad you made this video slog2 has been a constant struggle for me
Hey bro this isnt the best for low light I just use a standard pp2 for low light seems to have the least noise when I crank the ISO. It's all situational tho with how low the lighting is.
Hey Jason dope video man helped a lot. What would you suggest when you at 1/50 F1.4 for depth and iso 125 and it hits +0.7 or even +1.0... How would you lower it? ND filter? Greetings
This is great Jason! By the way, is it safe to use rec 709 in the color mode rather than the BT.2020 since I'm more of a 1080p kind of shooter rather than 4k? What are your thoughts?
Hey Dwayne, I can't say only because I've yet to try that color space. Let me know how it goes, if you have any more questions message me on IG @im_jasonanthony I'm always down to chat and help where I can!
Hi Jason, information shared in this video is pure Gold, thanks a ton for your efforts. I have one query though, Setting detail -7 for 4k seems fine but what about 1080p ? Do you use "detail -7" for 1080p as well ?
Hey Jason! I am a huge fan of your channel and you definitely have helped a ton with your videos. I am currently looking for a laptop or PC to get so I can edit efficiently. My budget is a little over $1,000 and I know that limits my options but I was wondering if you have any suggestions. Thanks!!!
I've had issues with noise in the blacks and shadows. Even with shooting at like a very low ISO and meeting the min for HLG. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's getting annoying as I think I'm exposing correctly, then when I get to colour correct and grade and there's a ton of noise in the blacks. For example, your hoody in this video would have noise in mine. Any help would be grateful, keep the videos coming!
It seems like you're not exposing properly, I've never had noise but have a lot of experience with log. You need to expose for the shadows and make sure they are lifted off the left side of the histogram. If you're shooting a scene with good lighting should be at +.07 on your EV meter and be fine brother.
Hi I started using your picture profile for HLG3 (haven't posted vids yet) but it is INSANELY Cinematic. Thank you for an HLG3 guide!! Vloggers always say don't use it but it is easily the best profile and the one I have been looking for.
DUDE YES!!! I can't wait to see it make sure to share it with me! If you want it to not as cinematic I tell everyone to drop the black level lower but I think between +5-+10 gives you a filmic look +5 is more of an overall profile setting!
HLG is literally one of the best profiles on Sony Cameras, it makes me so frustrated when vloggers dismiss it
Trey Keys facts right here!
With these settings you tested it with +1 exposure? I saw other videos to expose for +1 just wondering if the settings you picked is not meant for +1?
As a beginner to picture profiles and cc. All I have to see is you killed it! You made it super simple to understand and I now no longer feel confused. Thanks!
same
Ayyy glad I could help you out bro! Literally the goal of the channel 🙌🏻🙌🏻
this new way of grading HLG (for premiere uses ) changes the game now !!

Best HLG3 video demo I have watched! Your adorable giddiness over color grading is icing on the cake! Subscribing now. ✌🏼
Very informative video. Good work.
Glad it was helpful!

Complete detailed instructions on how to set up four Picture Profiles and then set up your Sony. Save all that in MR mode. I have the RX100vii which uses these settings without an issue. Thanks!!!!
"You're a Wizard Harry!" I like how you used the waveform to monitor your curves adjustment. That really helped me!
I totally read that back in Hagrid's voice LOL! Thank you bro, glad I could help out.
Great video Brodie. Subscribed to you the other day after watching your video on B-roll settings. Looking forward to more tutorials!

Hell yeah bro I'm glad you found the video helpful!!!
Hey J, This is the video that I've been waiting for and what a tremendous help and a decisive factor to choose HLG. Thanks Bro, see you on the Gram!
right on Ken! Let me know how it goes!!!
Just started shooting video. I have an A6400 and use HLG3. This video helped me so much! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I really need to get that Leeming LUT tho.
Jason, your videos are tremendously instructive. Thank you for this! I've been shooting with no PP but have been toying with the idea of HLG. Now you've convinced me.
Hey I really appreciate the kind words! Just trying to share my knowledge and experience to others!
Love watching your videos. I am a beginner filmmaker so these tutorials are awesome. You do such a great job
Troy I'm glad I can help you learn and that you're enjoying the videos!
You deserve a million subscriber bro.
Really appreciate that bro it made my day!
Best HLG Video I've managed to find, great work
Hey! Skin Tones looks really awesome. I'd like to see a full color corrected project using this settings with leeming lut.
Do you have a project that you could show us? :)
Great video, and really thank you for that Leeming LUTs, they are amazing and lifesavers!

@@ImJasonAnthony very true, the explanations are priceless, McKinnon's is good but is more of entertainment there. The juice is here
Love the vids. Simple and straight to the point. You explain everything very clearly. Love for the all the help
this video is probably the best one on this topic because you used a gym example. and all my videos are filmed inside a gym. THANKS!!
Yo Jason, man, thanks a lot for sharing this! I owe you a beer brother. Greeting from Bali, Indonesia.
I may have to take you up on that when I'm out in Bali in the future! Glad I could help bro!
Dude this video was so helpful... Thank you so much! Definitely going to try out your settings !
Glad I could add value bro! Give them a shot!
DOPE VID bro. I've been struggling to shoot properly and grade well SLOG2. Hopped over to CINE4 to get a bit more ease, but honestly, since I'm not a pro, I find myself always missing the in camera settings - like exposure. Shooting real estate (I'm the agent too) we're dealing with dark espresso kitchens and bright windows - and trying to nail the shot while retaining data and low noise is difficult. So, do you think HLG3 is a good option? How's the lowlight? Awesome content as always.
I'm still dialing in the low light with this. For me the gym scenes I had to shoot between ISO 1600-3200 and some footage did have some noise in it. I think as videographers we have to position our talent with as good of ambient lighting as possible to help fight it ya know. The shots I had my subjects under the gym lights at say ISO 2000 looked better and cleaner than ISO 2000 in a dark space.
What a great vid explaining it. thanks for posting! I just grabbed the a6400 and was having a hard time finding stuff like this. I'm getting into real estate videos, these settings should work pretty good for that too right?
Thanks Jason! You should have more than 8K subs! :)
It will happen dude! I'm not focused on the numbers just dropping quality content but it will happen over time! Slow and steady right!
Ahhh finally it's out!! Thanks Jason. Hope you're feeling better as well! I have a question. How is the HLG3 with noise in low light/night time shooting? I've had experiences where I get noise when shooting with HLG3 with f2.8.
Haha it took time bro I need different clips in different situations. Try exposing for the shadows a little bit more, dont completely blow out your highlights but try and lift the shadows a tad!
Md Towhidul Islam agreed bro also, sometimes you will notice color noise especially if you shoot wide open and the background is super shallow like at f1.4-2.8. That’s normal tho, you see it in movies and tv shows also. Color noise and noise from lack of light are different. Sometimes we can just do our best to prevent it but do what we have to do with certain situations.
@@ImJasonAnthony Wow answered a question I wasn't even asking. Was having issues with some shots I was working on where, regardless of my grade, or LUTs, or even trying to be subtle, I was encountering color noise in the background that was driving me up a wall (shot at f1.8-f2). Tried neat video and over things to minimize it and was struggling. Thought I was using quirky LUTs or just over-saturating. Ended up masking the subject and de-saturating the background (which was unfortunate as it was a beach) and that seemed to put me more at ease, but nonetheless.
I have a lot of fast lenses and try to shoot pretty open (as I can't always use a long lens for that bokeh/compression), are there any tips to minimizing potential color noise shooting pretty open?
Jarrett I too have noticed color noise, if you look at my promo video I did using HLG3 after this video you can notice it in a few shots as well. It’s the codec most likely, I get color noise in slog2 and cine4 at times. Know it’s nothing you’re doing it’s the profile, there’s a difference between noise caused by low light and color noise. You probably already know this you seem well versed in profiles, settings, and premiere. I sometimes too will use masks and such. At the end of the day we can’t be too critical, it’s hard for us when we’re surrounded by awesome content created by others. If you take a deeper look into the bigger guys films you’ll notice a ton of imperfections. I think they’re just well versed is keeping the audiences attention away from those imperfections with strong impactful footage and others using those hype transitions everyone loves haha. Keep it up I’d love to see your work bro!
Jarrett as far as color noise like you mentioned it seems to be more noticeable the wider your open! I’m really not sure how to reduce it and now you have my brain thinking haha I’ll share anything I find, link up on Instagram so we can stay in contact and share what findings we get👊🏻💨
Hey Jason, we tried your settings and we love the results! 😍 Thank you so much. Could you also suggest the settings for other Sony cameras that don't have HLG, like the Sony A6300 in our case, so the clips of both cameras are match? Thanks again.
You sold me on this, nice explanation dude !
love this man! something fresh for filmmakers
Seriously this made my day thank you bro!!!!!!
One of the best HLG3 vids mate! Tx!
Jason! This tutorial was perfect my dude! Great job man! Cant wait to go out and shoot again.
Thank you bro! let me know how it goes mane!!!
Thank you for the terrific video, so informative. Thanks man.
One question; do you use this profile in low light situations / night time as well?
Definitely will try this out bro keep up the good work homie
Thank you bro! let me know how it works
I've been struggling correcting HLG3, looks like the Leeming luts are the way to go
Rad video! Learned a lot here. Cheers!
I love hearing that bro!
Awesome content! helps a lot! Im shooting real estate photos and videos and I'm still trying to get correct colors for interior clips. It's especially hard when filming historical / old houses with shitty lighting. Sometimes I get nasty green tinted walls in hyper modern homes with humongous windows due to sunlight reflecting off the greenery outside. HLG3 seems to be a good bet
Been using SLOG3 but now I'm going to give HLG3 a shot!
Tell us your experience
Super useful thx brooo! Esp that ISO125 info
Glad it was helpful!
You my man just earned urself a new sub
Amazing video, as always! I did have a question for you. Cody Blue uses a Cine-4 picture profile and likes to use a specific custom ZEBRA setting (97+) to protect the highlights and try not to underexpose the rest. He also uses custom Zebra setting for skintones (65 +/-5). Is there a specific zebra setting that you use or recommend for your HLG3 custom picture profile when shooting indoors and outdoors? Thanks for your help sir!!!
havent tried this picture profile out yet but gonna have to give it a shot!
hell yes bro try it out!
Extremely helpful vid especially since I just got my a7iii 2 days ago and wanna learn how to use log profiles 👌🏼 subbed 💪🏼
Hell yeah Keith! Can't wait to see what you create bro!
Is this relevant to the a 6400 as well? Great video 🤙🏻
Thank you for the video. All of this is a little bit over my head presently, but I hope to get there soon!
This is a fantastic profile and you are right. Very easy to grade. Thanks JA!
Very good. You are a great teacher. I recently bought a Sony a7iii and a6400. It has been 18 years since I was in photography. Cameras had no video then and the tech was easy. Now I am overwhelmed and do not know where to start. I started by going out filming on Auto. Day was overcaste. color turned out too fake. Greens were too vibrantly fake. I suppose I have to find a few settings I like and put them on Custom buttons to save time. What do you think?
I do like some saturation but not obviously fake. I have to learn how to adjust in post. I have the Corel software.
Hi! I have been using HLG for most of my videos using the Leeming LUT, but after watching your video, I am gonna try your HLG3 Settings! One thing I noticed while shooting HLG is that you need to overexpose by a bit (+0.7 - 1.0), otherwise there will be some noises. I will let u know my thoughts of your profile after using it in the next shoot! Anyway, keep up the good work bro! Subscibed!

Thanks man, i used this setting for my Vietnam video.
Great tutorial, keep going
Thank you so much Mishal! Glad you saw value in it!
Super helpful tip at 13:25!
Glad to hear it Daniel!!!!
Great video! Thanks! You really do well in front of the camera. What are the main differences between HLG, HLG2, HLG3 etc?
I don't know.
Awesome video. Have been struggling a bit with the Sony picture profiles. Quick question. Were you using Picture Profile 10 or 5 with the HLG3?
Hey man! Nice and informative video! I've been using the Leeming LUTS, and would say they have recommendation about PP Settings, I mean they have their own PP Settings. So did you mention it? Or it's better to use your recommendation about the settings? May u help me with that? Thanks in advance
helped me a lot 👍 thank u
I'll try this one for my sony a6400,thank you well appriciated sir.
I have a Sony Alpha 7S III and everybody under the sun kept talking about how S Log 3 was the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe if you shoot weddings with a zoom lens, but not if your shooting indoors with a 50mm prime lens at night it's not. In order for me to get a workable depth of field with my Zeiss CP.3 50MM T2.1 lens, I have to close the iris down to T5.6. I use two GVM RGB 50W Full Color Studio Video Lights and a Aputure B7C smart light bulb at full blast at 5600 degrees Kelvin to light my subject and in order for me to get the image two stops over exposed and keep my T stop at 5.6 I have to crank up the ISO to 40,000. S log 3 is not for my needs, and shooting ProRes Raw on a Ninja V burns way too much storage, so HLG3 it is for me.
On the siii I personally love the new slog3. I totally understand your case using that specific picture profile for situations you find yourself with lower light shooting interiors. For something like your situation have you tried cinetone yet?
@@ImJasonAnthony no, I’ll look into it though, thanks.
Thanks for this video, really helped, between your good self and Gerald Undone it helped me make a decision on how to extract the best dynamic range out of the sony a73/r3 and indeed help match the footage between them with HLG3 to get the consistency across the two cameras whilst not having the nightmare of grading s-log and dealing with exposure and noice in varying circumstances. A big thumbs up!
Thank you Jason! I will try it next week. I struggle to expose Slog 2 and color grade.
Give it a shot and let me know how it turns out! I'm down to help you out!
sooo informative!!! you explained it really well :)
Great tutorial man! How do you set your exposure to +.03 within the camera?
Just like photos Justin, you have to let more light in so being with video we have a fixed shutter speed we can rely on a variable ND filter to allow more light, the fstop, and lastly ISO which is never recommended unless you absolutely have to!
Thanks for this, you inspired me to pull my finger out and buy the leeming LUTs, they're great!! I'd recommend them to anyone
It's weird how your hlg settings aren't what are recommended with the Luts, howcome? You're not going to get quite the same accurate baseline. I'm sure it doesn't matter though!
Very informative video ❤❤
Bro you're the man!
Let me know if you have any more questions after testing it out brother!
Hi Jason, I purchased the Leeming LUTs and I noticed that the HGL Lut in the pack is made for Rec709, yet you have your setting here for Color Mode of BT2020, the Leeming site says to ensure you use the right settings, does it make a huge difference? Have you tried it with Color Mode Rec709? Thanks for this vid!
Thank you so much for this video ! I used to use cine4 ...is this profile good for low light ? If not what do you recommend and I’m glad you made this video slog2 has been a constant struggle for me
Hey bro this isnt the best for low light I just use a standard pp2 for low light seems to have the least noise when I crank the ISO. It's all situational tho with how low the lighting is.
I'm Jason Anthony i appreciate it
Hey Jason dope video man helped a lot. What would you suggest when you at 1/50 F1.4 for depth and iso 125 and it hits +0.7 or even +1.0... How would you lower it? ND filter?
Greetings
Good job man really nice video !
Nice Vid! What focal lenght are you using on your main talking shot?
FANTASTIC!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
This is great Jason! By the way, is it safe to use rec 709 in the color mode rather than the BT.2020 since I'm more of a 1080p kind of shooter rather than 4k? What are your thoughts?
Hey Dwayne, I can't say only because I've yet to try that color space. Let me know how it goes, if you have any more questions message me on IG @im_jasonanthony I'm always down to chat and help where I can!
Hi Jason, information shared in this video is pure Gold, thanks a ton for your efforts. I have one query though, Setting detail -7 for 4k seems fine but what about 1080p ? Do you use "detail -7" for 1080p as well ?
Great video! I have a a6400.... how do I set my camera to Hlg3? My PP settings only go up to PP10. Should I update my cameras software?
so many gems shared here. Many thanks.
Amazing video brotha. Thank you so much for this. This is supper helpful
Thank you for taking the time to watch it bro!
Wow this is insanely helpful
Это потрясающе!
Hey Jason! I am a huge fan of your channel and you definitely have helped a ton with your videos. I am currently looking for a laptop or PC to get so I can edit efficiently. My budget is a little over $1,000 and I know that limits my options but I was wondering if you have any suggestions. Thanks!!!
this is dope bro. Hey what lens u use for your talking head sections? i love the composition. it looks perfect
Thanks bruddah! Using the 16-35 gmaster around 24mm
@@ImJasonAnthony nice thanks bro
I've had issues with noise in the blacks and shadows. Even with shooting at like a very low ISO and meeting the min for HLG. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's getting annoying as I think I'm exposing correctly, then when I get to colour correct and grade and there's a ton of noise in the blacks. For example, your hoody in this video would have noise in mine. Any help would be grateful, keep the videos coming!
It seems like you're not exposing properly, I've never had noise but have a lot of experience with log. You need to expose for the shadows and make sure they are lifted off the left side of the histogram. If you're shooting a scene with good lighting should be at +.07 on your EV meter and be fine brother.
hey, Ultimate Hockey Fan Cave did you resolve your issue with noise in HLG profile? I have the same issue with noise. I'm exposing correctly.
