Man I have the super ultra wide from Samsung, the 49” one and it’s amazing. It’s like putting together 2 27” monitors, but without any bezels between them. For editing, it’s a dream
2 or more monitors will always beat 1 extra large monitor for productivity. Not just talking about the editing aspect only, as some people prefee to only edit on 1 large monitor. As for myself, ibfind that i am constantly going in and out of the editor to get files, footage, internet search etc, and 1 monitor would drive me crazy. And could you or anyone help with understanding the main point of the video? Which profile are you suggesting works best, be it subjective? Sorry but didn"t fully understand. Neutral? Standard? Flat with Black Magic then colour grade? Im a noob with colour grade and would prefer just gettig better results without colour grading for now.
You should crank noise reduction all the way down on any camera you can do it with. I made a video all about how noise and fine detail are the same thing to a computer and NR kills off fine detail by smoothing away all the noise, which includes all the fine detail. All my Panasonic bodies get NR -5 (NR -2 on my old LX3). Also, you should not turn saturation and contrast down at all. I also made multiple videos about how and why shooting flat is bad, and cranking down contrast and saturation is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about.
*wait for the 49" LG 2K monitor that should be coming out soon. right now im using the 34" and im loving the one piece ultra wide monitor. perfect for editing and doing multitasking*
Thank you for making this video! I could not understand how your earlier tests/comparisons with the M50 put it in such bad light (ha!) when I (and others) were loving it (in 1080 that is). Standard profile straight out of camera is good, and shouldn’t need too much to make it the way you want it. But every camera is different and have different optimum settings. Even it’s 4K is good if used with setup clips where you don’t need (changing) auto-focus. Slap the EF-M 11-22 on it and do some more outside walking around tests, I think you’ll like it. It’s not the perfect camera, but when you consider its size and weight (and price!) it’s pretty damn good. I wouldn’t bother with the RP for video. Bigger, heavier, and much more money for virtually no difference. If you want better background separation, you can use the Viltrox speed booster on the M50 and a faster lens and still be way ahead on size/weight/price. And don’t forget that awesome strap it comes with. 🤓
I'd like to see the Faithful setting. It's supposed to be colour accurate. You have to shift the WB a couple points also. If you're using Auto white balance, then it's possible that the purple wall is being compensated for. Like using AWB in the forest you get purple tree bark.
I enjoyed this video. It was so funny. I loved the color grading (to the extreme). As an M50 owner, I'm pleased that you no longer hate it. Its a really good camera for those of us who are not rich.
Video colors and grading are beyond me. Do what I do. Turn your chair around and use those two beautiful windows behind you. Then blur that background with a .05 aperture.
There are 10,000 other TH-cam "camera guys" parroting one another, telling us to set our profiles to Neutral and put all our settings down to zero and then grade from there, never mentioning the Canon thing. You're the only one to finally reveal why my colors are always horrible when I tried this. Thank you. My next video will be shot in Standard. It will still be on a 60D but it will be better. I can feel it.
Panasonic is reading the sensor at 4k and scaling it. You need to reduce the sharpening, because when the image is scaled and parts are thrown out, you get harder edges. With the m50, it is reading the sensor at 1080. Not scaling the image. The 4k image on the m50 is reading 4k pixel readout, that's why you get only get the 4k crop out of the full sensor. The codec is weak though, especially even compared to their own cameras like the c100 which is same bitrate, slightly better codec, but has a superior sensor backplane.
Canon doesn’t remove digital sharpening. It adds digital softening when you turn the sharpness down. I’ve tested this many times on my EOS 200D. If you leave the sharpening indicator in the middle where it is as default, it doesn’t add anything. If you move it to 7, then it adds sharpening. If you move it towards zero from the middle, then it ADDS softening. That’s at least the results of my tests with it. It’s easier to see when you take stills from the video.
WTF are you talking about? Canon sold extremely well. in japan the M50 was by far the best selling camera(In total!). The EOS R Outsold every other fullframe camera within 2months after release there.
Just moved from FCPX to DaVinci - if you have the time - its worth the move from Premier. Very powerful and actually very easy to use. One monitor is a cleaner setup, however two monitors gives you access to the 'dual screen' setup with DaVinci and other apps, which one large screen won't.
I now use 38" ultrawide monitor for video editing + 50" TV for HDR videos. I no longer user my dual 27" setup. The 27's are collecting dust. In fact I don't even use the actual screen on my iMac since I got the 38 inch. It's pushed off to the side.
I saw the title and dropped everything to watch the whole video. Admitting to making a change or taking criticism is a big thing for any human. Applause 👏 is given my friend.
For video editing my favorite setup has been a single 27" 2160p but I'd have to recommend a 34" 21:9 for that extra horizontal space for the timeline. Also allows a larger preview to the side.
"I turn down the sharpness on every camera I get" okay this explains why every image quality test looks noticeably softer and worse on this channel than the same camera on other channels
X-rite colorchecker could be what you’re looking for - if you also grade on Da Vinci, a colorchecker can help you match each camera very exact, so it looks like you’ve filmed on multiple same-brand cameras.
One thing you might find useful is a plugin (or standalone app) called Film Convert. It works best with the log color spaces but helps with the normal profiles too if you can remember which profile you used while shooting. They build custom input profiles for several popular cameras using different settings so shots between different cameras match better. Film Convert then applies an output profile which simulates a film look with several old film stocks to chose from. Just turn down the grain setting since the default is a bit high for online distribution. You might also consider a ~$400 USD 43-55" HDTV for your second monitor if you have the space for it. I mounted mine over my desk so it hangs directly above my iMac screen. Get a current model or at least last year's for the most accurate colors. Most of these have a mode called "Photo" mode which has more accurate color. HDTV's tend to have much better vibrance and features than typical computer monitors as the TV industry is much more competitive than the computer monitor industry.
I use an ultrawide as my main monitor because it makes timeline work so easy. And then I have just a cheap-but-accurate 24" 1080p monitor on top so that I can always have a fullscreen program monitor. My favourite setup by far. If I had to pick one or the other I'd just go with the ultrawide.
Get the cheapest 27" 4K monitor with an IPS panel. I edit videos almost every day at work and when I tried an ultrawide monitor I got disappointed. I don't need a longer timeline. I need more vertical space so I can see the video I edit. I don't like editing on two monitors. Too much head movement, lol. I'm not an athlete.
And then use a 150% scaling? :) nono if one asks me 27 inch on 4k resolution, the pixel density is too high. 2560x1440 is perfect for 27 inch. But i don't edit videos so not sure if that is enough vertical space.
It's not just your monitor size.. it's the calibration. Get a Surface, or a Mac, or a professional calibrated external monitor and you'll see a HUGE difference to grade colours accurately.
I use a 65 inch 4k hdr Visio tv for my editing. Is amazing to edit on. Basically 4 1080p 32 inch monitors in one.and it's about the same price as a fancy widescreen
Two monitors > ultra wide. Gh5s has great colors like canon. You just need to grade the vlog right or use natural profile. Cine v colors were great, just too contrasty. Would love to see you compare to the new sony color science on a7iii and a6400
I have 2 24" monitors side x side and am trying to decide on the 34" LG or (2) Viewsonic 24"s - 14bit. I have no idea which to buy as I love being able to click a button (Display Fusion rocks) and shoot whatever window to the other monitor. I don't think I'll be able to do that that easily with an ultrawide monitor. Oh, and do full camera resets on those cameras before you start in on adjusting the settings. I just bought an old GH3 (arrived a few days ago) for a second podcast camera to go with my GH5 and it was blue as blue can get. I couldn't figure it out to save my life so I just reset the camera, put it in 'natural' and the thing looks amazing. I love the sharpness of the Panasonic's and really don't mind people seeing how terrible I look though. Just love the crispy. Good day, eh.
Well, I'm crap when it comes to editing video, but I do know Davinci Resolve is really nice from my little time playing with it and the free version is surprisingly full of functionality and not stripped down at all.
Ordered my Camera Conspiracies shirt and stickers the other day. And lately I’ve binge watching Vegetable Police. So I may have to go back and order a Vegetable Police shirt as well.
32" 4k, when using Premiere/Davinci, I NEVER again would use something smaller whenever possible. For grading/preview another secondary 24" colour corrected would be ideal.
I have a 32" curved monitor AND a second 24", its a good combo. But its impossible to get both colour temperatures the same, so I use the smaller one for non-image stuff like web browsing and the likes.
Canon M60 is coming out it better have 4K60 without a crop, with full Dual Pixel AF, with dual SD, larger battery, flip out display as M50. But surely Canon will not. And by the way the Panasonic G9 at $1000 is the better deal I think, that's what I bought recently anyway, using the unlimited recording hack. I didn't need 10bit of GH5/GH5s because I want to shoot 4K60 on everything for sure. I don't think I need vlog for now. And I'd rather have HEVC lower bitrate 4K60 in GH6 than i-frame which I don't think works for 4K60 on GH5/GH5s anyway. 6K anamorphic sounds like fun but I am confused if there is any affordable anamorphic lens out there anyway (SLR magic adapter on a 20mm+ lens not even sure if that works well with autofocus and etc). The amazing 6.5 stops of IBIS with Dual IS 2 compatible lens (like my 12-60mm Leica) is just so amazing and surely beats whatever dual ISO of the GH5s I think. I cannot even start to consider a non IBIS camera like the GH5s, for 100% sure. Hopefully in the next few months or next year or so the GH6 comes out with Phase Detect autofocus and with 10bit based HLG (instant HDR+SDR mode) at 4K60 internally then I might sell my G9 and upgrade. For now Sony, Fuji, Canon, Nikon, PhaseOne, JVC and Pentax have nothing that I want.
I have been back and forth between multiple monitor setups. from dual 27s, dual 32s (16:9), 34 ultrawide and now I am finally happy with a 4k 42 inchs, screen. ... one single bigger screen is better imho than 2 , just easier having one connected area. (While 2 do work fine). I don't like the ultra wides for video editing, as this will NOT solve the problem you described (i.e video preview being too small), due to the aspect ratio, your screen is actually not very high (vertically: a 34 ultra wide is more like 27 inch screen ). Also - again - due to the aspect ratio an ultra wide screen has a much smaller surface area than you might expect. The largest surface area for given diagonal is a square, the more you divert from than, the smaller the screen actually is. and I think reslove is the way to go, what they have done in the last 2 version have been major steps forward.
Resolve is very easy to jump right into. It doesn't take long to get your first video graded and edited, with very little effort in learning it. A great programme you really should try.
I had one 32” non ultra wide and it felt too big.. but maybe I was too close. It was nice for editing videos, but I felt like a 27” would have been better.
Try using no picture profile in the Sony but instead using the "Portrait" creative style for better colors. I also had issues with the straight out of camera colors of the Sony, but since I've found that Portrait mode, I haven't stopped using it
How about setting the bloody WB. Shoot raw if you can’t be bothered. Otherwise SET THE WB and your orange will be orange and your red will be red. It’s beautiful!
Photographer tip: You are mixing your lights. You have 2 strong sources of light coming in opposite directions. The artificial source and that window. Have no more than 1 main source facing you 45 degrees and use a reflector on correct a bit the other side. Search for a Rembrandt or Vermeer lighting technique.
I have dual setup. A 32" Ultra Wide for video editing, and absolutely love it. Nice long time line, and all the windows are big. I have a 24" IPS for photo editing as the colors are more accurate.
Haha can relate to so much of what you said. Got an M6 and followed some online advice to setup the profile and it's so soft (and I have no idea what I'm doing). Been slowly moving it back up. Been using a GoPro as it's just nicer footage with no effort. Especially the part about editing on the computer in the small screen, only to watch it full size and wince. Your stuff looks great though, love it and the humour.
I've edited a lot of short films and one full-length feature film. I absolutely prefer two monitors whenever possible, but if only one then it needs to be large because I don't like having to resize windows on the fly. I prefer to set it and forget it. It make my workflow and life easier.
Like boardroom meeting Stacy's mom, this M50 footage has got it going on. I actually use the same exact flat settings you used to for my 6D but it does require extra time to color grade and sharpen in Premiere. Maybe I'll try out the standard profile, too.
I've heard it said that unless you have a 10 bit camera, you may actually lose content by trying to fake "LOG" because of how some cameras rely on digital sharpening like that. I suppose this is a good case comparison.
You should do some sort of challenge or competition where you upload ungraded test footage somewhere and let you viewers grade it, whoever wins gets to color grade your next video. You could also do a video commenting on all the entries, maybe a roast, video content for days my friend.
Just to remember that all these sharpness and color settings (like any) are done in software so those settings are not comparable between manufactorers of even models. One may cheat, the other may not, or better yet, may not cheat as much on a certain setting.
If you get ultrawide you can't get a curved monitor. If you want your monitors to wrap slightly then get two if you want your monitors to be directly next to each other get the ultrawide.
Negative sharpness usually adds extra Low Frequency Bandpass FIlter to the mix, making it blurrier than if the sensor was just allowed to do its thing. Why anyone would want to artifically add blurriness to a sensor is due to negligence (that's your Camera Conspiracies).
Go with a ultra wide. Having that division between the monitors in primere pro from having spread across two monitors got old real quick. ViewSonic makes one that the colors are near perfect.
Kasey, In a controlled environment such as your room, if you can get the look you want out of an 8-bit camera may be best. Divinchi Resolve is a better grading program but likely won't help much on 8-bit file grading over Premiere. Your M50 files look pretty good straight out of camera and seem to have more color depth than your Gh5 and Sony Log files, typically the result of shooting 8-bit log. Offhand it looks like the LUT you are using with the GH5 may be negatively affecting the tonal balance (Luminance Curve), and If you are going to be using 10bit GH5 Log footage Resolve may produce better results if you develop your own grading profile (LUT). Also If you are exposing pretty far to the right on the GH5 you migh want to try dropping your exposure as your midtones look to be a bit compressed and a bit towards blooming.
I made the switch to DaVinci Resolve and I'm happy I did. It's different to what I was used to (Sony Vegas), but the switch was easy and I much prefer it
I think the moral of the story is "don't color grade". It seems that the out of camera stuff on regular profiles is better than what you graded. Do that with Sony as well. Find a Sony profile (likely the regular one will work) and just tweak the sharpness and such in camera. By the way, "Cinelike V" seems to work well on the Lumix. And why is it that the GH5s is "brighter" and the Canon is "darker"? Is the light at the same intensity? How do the lenses differ. Something in between those extremes would be best, I think.

And by the way the Panasonic G9 at $1000 is the better deal I think, that's what I bought recently anyway, using the unlimited recording hack. I didn't need 10bit of GH5/GH5s because I want to shoot 4K60 on everything for sure. I don't think I need vlog for now. And I'd rather have HEVC lower bitrate 4K60 in GH6 than i-frame which I don't think works for 4K60 on GH5/GH5s anyway. 6K anamorphic sounds like fun but I am confused if there is any affordable anamorphic lens out there anyway (SLR magic adapter on a 20mm+ lens not even sure if that works well with autofocus and etc). The amazing 6.5 stops of IBIS with Dual IS 2 compatible lens (like my 12-60mm Leica) is just so amazing and surely beats whatever dual ISO of the GH5s I think. I cannot even start to consider a non IBIS camera like the GH5s, for 100% sure. Hopefully in the next few months or next year or so the GH6 comes out with Phase Detect autofocus and with 10bit based HLG (instant HDR+SDR mode) at 4K60 internally then I might sell my G9 and upgrade. For now Sony, Fuji, Canon, Nikon, PhaseOne, JVC and Pentax have nothing that I want.
I wonder what the Sistine Chapel would have looked like if you were mixing the
paint for Michelangelo.
I have been back and forth between multiple monitor setups. from dual 27s, dual 32s (16:9), 34 ultrawide and now I am finally happy with a 4k 42 inchs, screen. ... one single bigger screen is better imho than 2 , just easier having one connected area. (While 2 do work fine).
I don't like the ultra wides for video editing, as this will NOT solve the problem you described (i.e video preview being too small), due to the aspect ratio, your screen is actually not very high (vertically: a 34 ultra wide is more like 27 inch screen ). Also - again - due to the aspect ratio an ultra wide screen has a much smaller surface area than you might expect. The largest surface area for given diagonal is a square, the more you divert from than, the smaller the screen actually is.
and I think reslove is the way to go, what they have done in the last 2 version have been major steps forward.
Resolve is very easy to jump right into. It doesn't take long to get your first video graded and edited, with very little effort in learning it. A great programme you really should try.
On top of that, it's much easier on computer resources compared to Premiere.
I think one 27" screen is perfect. bigger than that is too big imo
I had one 32” non ultra wide and it felt too big.. but maybe I was too close. It was nice for editing videos, but I felt like a 27” would have been better.
Try using no picture profile in the Sony but instead using the "Portrait" creative style for better colors. I also had issues with the straight out of camera colors of the Sony, but since I've found that Portrait mode, I haven't stopped using it
How about setting the bloody WB.
Shoot raw if you can’t be bothered. Otherwise SET THE WB and your orange will be orange and your red will be red. It’s beautiful!
Very easy to change the temp on M50! Lets see some tests CC!
Natural light from the window is probably clashing with the artificial light and confusing the AWB
Photographer tip: You are mixing your lights. You have 2 strong sources of light coming in opposite directions. The artificial source and that window. Have no more than 1 main source facing you 45 degrees and use a reflector on correct a bit the other side. Search for a Rembrandt or Vermeer lighting technique.
I have dual setup. A 32" Ultra Wide for video editing, and absolutely love it. Nice long time line, and all the windows are big. I have a 24" IPS for photo editing as the colors are more accurate.
So long as it’s in focus and the audio is reasonable I think it’s all good IMO.
Cool tip, I had same problem with my M5 Thanks
Haha can relate to so much of what you said. Got an M6 and followed some online advice to setup the profile and it's so soft (and I have no idea what I'm doing). Been slowly moving it back up. Been using a GoPro as it's just nicer footage with no effort.
Especially the part about editing on the computer in the small screen, only to watch it full size and wince. Your stuff looks great though, love it and the humour.
I've edited a lot of short films and one full-length feature film. I absolutely prefer two monitors whenever possible, but if only one then it needs to be large because I don't like having to resize windows on the fly. I prefer to set it and forget it. It make my workflow and life easier.
Like boardroom meeting Stacy's mom, this M50 footage has got it going on. I actually use the same exact flat settings you used to for my 6D but it does require extra time to color grade and sharpen in Premiere. Maybe I'll try out the standard profile, too.
Haha, I was about to send back my 32 Canon 1.4 lens, because I thought it was too soft, but I was accidentaly using the neutral profil.
Hey Casey this is Joe from Canon... your check and special privileges are on the way.
I'm interested in the nature of "special privileges."
😂😂😂
I've heard it said that unless you have a 10 bit camera, you may actually lose content by trying to fake "LOG" because of how some cameras rely on digital sharpening like that. I suppose this is a good case comparison.
I Like my 38" LG whatever 21:9 monitor way more for editing than any two monitor setup.
You should do some sort of challenge or competition where you upload ungraded test footage somewhere and let you viewers grade it, whoever wins gets to color grade your next video.
You could also do a video commenting on all the entries, maybe a roast, video content for days my friend.
Just to remember that all these sharpness and color settings (like any) are done in software so those settings are not comparable between manufactorers of even models. One may cheat, the other may not, or better yet, may not cheat as much on a certain setting.
Turn your preamps down to -12db on the GH5S its has a hot mic input.
It's at about -5db, it's not clipping.
@@cameraconspiracies I have the same mic and it sounds better at -12 for me. Less tinny.
@@finnillson4808 You'd still have to boost the levels in post. My mic is right above my head.
@@cameraconspiracies Not sure why you are boosting in post. But oh well.
@@finnillson4808 So people can hear it. I boost to -2db in post.
I need to start shooting 8bit 4 0 -4
If you get ultrawide you can't get a curved monitor. If you want your monitors to wrap slightly then get two if you want your monitors to be directly next to each other get the ultrawide.
Negative sharpness usually adds extra Low Frequency Bandpass FIlter to the mix, making it blurrier than if the sensor was just allowed to do its thing. Why anyone would want to artifically add blurriness to a sensor is due to negligence (that's your Camera Conspiracies).
Go with a ultra wide. Having that division between the monitors in primere pro from having spread across two monitors got old real quick. ViewSonic makes one that the colors are near perfect.
I have a curved 34" ultrawide and love it ... Acer ED347CKR or Viewsonic VX3479-2KPC, they're identical
Kasey, In a controlled environment such as your room, if you can get the look you want out of an 8-bit camera may be best. Divinchi Resolve is a better grading program but likely won't help much on 8-bit file grading over Premiere. Your M50 files look pretty good straight out of camera and seem to have more color depth than your Gh5 and Sony Log files, typically the result of shooting 8-bit log. Offhand it looks like the LUT you are using with the GH5 may be negatively affecting the tonal balance (Luminance Curve), and If you are going to be using 10bit GH5 Log footage Resolve may produce better results if you develop your own grading profile (LUT).
Also If you are exposing pretty far to the right on the GH5 you migh want to try dropping your exposure as your midtones look to be a bit compressed and a bit towards blooming.
viltrox speed booster work like a dream...open up your lens selection considerably.
I made the switch to DaVinci Resolve and I'm happy I did. It's different to what I was used to (Sony Vegas), but the switch was easy and I much prefer it
Back on form! My life is enhanced when you have no idea what your perfect camera is.
This background music is truly amazing and I'm glad you brought it back again.
I think the moral of the story is "don't color grade". It seems that the out of camera stuff on regular profiles is better than what you graded. Do that with Sony as well. Find a Sony profile (likely the regular one will work) and just tweak the sharpness and such in camera. By the way, "Cinelike V" seems to work well on the Lumix. And why is it that the GH5s is "brighter" and the Canon is "darker"? Is the light at the same intensity? How do the lenses differ. Something in between those extremes would be best, I think.
I expose for my face in GH5s and the M50 was in auto iso.
@@cameraconspiracies I see. Thanks for the response.
I love the results I get from the EOS R but it's too darn heavy.
M50 all the way. The lenses now available make it even more appealing. Great vids sir, they always make me laugh.
Get the BenQ PD2500Q, it colour calibrated out of the box and 1440p. Great for video editing.
Gh5s would be fine if you reduce the exposure or reduce the highlights to get your skin tones right
I use resolve, took me about 2 months to really get the hang of it
Great way to start my weekend - great stuff man
I got my Camera Conspiracy shirt today! Now I’m schmexy! Even ungraded!
What you NEED is a colorchecker and to calibrate your screen.
I use I 27 inch HP led as my main monitor and a 50 inch Panasonic plasma for video out. Love your videos by the way, great work...
Film Convert with DaVinci Resolve - interface is different but there's lots of tutorials on how to do the basics.
How did you get a license to have that koala lol
My editing makes it so realistic ;)
