@@geraldundone you have the best explanation video but I have rewatched it 10 times over and I feel like for my 11th time I will just need to rewatch with a dictionary (or google) on hand ready to search every term you use. Dunna though yours is great for someone with the technical knowledge I have in terms of camera tech so thank you!
Maaan.. about 947 previous TH-cam videos have lost me to this subject before this one. They all expertly explain what picture profiles ARE and what they look like (which is.... I mean.. why? I can see what they look like.. thx tho..) but none of them bothered to explain the WHY and certainly not the REASONS to use them. Great video! Simple, but it explained more in a few mins, than the previous ones in hours and hours of digging. Subscribed. Thanks, Attila
I settled with HLG2 BT2020 gamma Details -7 and Stauration -7. Image does not need much of tweaking/grading at all. Saturation = 0 is also good. Camera A7C. If I need to do any color grading, I export result from Davinci Resolve in Main10 4:2:0 HVEC MP4 file and it looks great!
I think color correction is always necessary. Color grading however is something you do exclusively for yourself and your tech-nerd friends. The client almost never appreciates the difference between standard or graded footage. So I have given up on grading and spend that time on script development instead.
Your format is so good man. Not only are all the shots really crisp, nicely colored, and have super high quality audio- but the way you have a table of contents style approach to your videos, where you can just simply click on the specific portion that you want is just 👌
Bro God bless you. You have the heart of a teacher and a true ability to simplify complicated information in a way that's easy to digest. You didn't win a Jimmy John's giveaway, but you still earned a sub.
I WATCHED MANY VIDEOS BUT YOU FINALLY SAVE MY LIFE. sometimes it's best to just keep it simple and shoot "standart". But I will keep working on especially for slog and hlg and gain experience on this subject.
You are very sincere and i appreciate your honesty. I agree, sometimes we just don't have time on post to color grade and use no picture profile on a controlled ambient is the best shot. Thank you.
Your teaching skills are just fantastic👌I watched so many videos trying to figure out what PP are, what they do and the difference between them and was never able to understand it fully until I watched this video. Thank you! 🙂
I've been shooting a bunch of corporate indoor shoots on a flat background in LOG just to practice color grading, and because I got the idea that shooting in the standard profile was just unacceptable for a professional to do, like shooting stills with the camera on Auto. But now that I understand the profiles and do know how to grade, I think I'm gonna stick with the standard profile most of the time. Great video, very informative. Thanks!
Good stuff! Too often people say to use a picture profile because that's what everyone else says to do without explaining why and how it differs from the standard profile.
thanks man, really great vid - made everything very clear. All the other videos I've watched are along the lines of "Why you should shoot Log". I'm a time-poor hobbyist, so being told I need to spend hours colour-grading every clip didn't feel like the solution for me. Think after watching this I'll save those PPs for when really needed!
Would really like to see that window shot with both standard profile and corrcted/graded slog2 profile. That would really show whether the slog is worth it or not.
Im so thankful about the part when you started comparing it with coffee haha it’s my passion and that got me to finally understand all the PP topic! Thanks bud!🙏🏼
Hi, can I use picture profile settings for video vlogs?! I don’t record in manual since I do vlogs. So I will like to know if I can still use picture profile? Thank you
dude this was so helpful. I bought a new camera today, tried to be all fancy and shoot in S Log 3.. annnnnd it's all trash and I need to reshoot all of it! Thanks for explaining this so even dumb dumbs like me understand!
Here’s a better example, shooting in a picture profile is like taking a RAW photo. You get much more control when editing. If you don’t like editing, go ahead and just take JPEG photos. Don’t forget to turn on Auto too.
This video is so informative 😊😊😊 thank you so much for your time, I have a Sony A6600 & I would like to know How can I shoot LOG? Cause Sony Colors are out of Whack sometimes 😅
What about shooting stills with picture profiles like S log 2 can I stretch that as much as the Raw file? And witch profile do you recoment Is easy to grade from Sony A7 II I think it has Cine profile also and S-log 2
1) whats the best setting (ok i know subjective) for post processing? 2) whats the best setting (ok i know subjective) for NON post processing (all contrasty and colory)?
Hey man thanks so much for posting this video. I didn't know that when I was playing around with my Sony ZVE10 setting it to PP7 (SLog3) when i switched to taking photos, it would apply the SLOG to the photos as well. I am trying to figure out a way to "stretch" the colors as you say but I can't find how to do this in Lightroom. Would you be able to help point me in the right direction? A bunch of my photos are all gray and I can't properly fix them. Thank you in advance!
You got it! Take your curves, grab the very top point and drag it to the left across the top, then take the very bottom point and drag it right along the bottom. Then add a little s-curve between the two for contrast. Then crank up the saturation a bit and you should be at a decent starting place.
Great ! Have question: So if I use No Profile - what ISO do I use ? The lower ISO the better ? Or do I stick to the two camera's base ISO's ? Thank you !
This was an incredible way of teaching the subject. I know very little of this, but your visuals and explanation helped tremendously. I highly recommend you do a more in depth "under the hood" video.
Hi there... Nice ... So my Sony camera has eleven profiles: PP1 thorough PP11. Can you go Profile by Profile to explain ( with visual examples ) what each profile does ? Thank you !!
question really hope for a reply, first off great content, ok I am also a youtuber and I storm chase you can imagine the nightmare I deal with. low light, highlights on clouds, shadows in scenery lightning which im not gonna equate bc when I want good lightning I have to under expose if not add a nd filter to help. ok so question time. What PP would u recommended trying to film a tornado. I dont care if I clip the white background behind the main cloud. but I do wanna preserve scenery with the tornado and it seems I always have to choose 1 or the other. s-log is not a option really bc grain will be the next issue for me. I shoot on a a6500 thanks man!
I edit a lot on the go for work and sadly need a quick fix to push content out. Would you recommend HLG3 even through capcut (disclaimer I use Davinci on large projects or when I have time)
Hi. Thanks for the video I really enjoy watching them. Quick question though. I'm not sure if my camera is the problem but I have the ZV-e10 and whenever I change the picture profiles, the colors of the pictures that I have previously taken also change. Is this normal? or is it a setting problem? Help please :((
Hey man, nice video and thank you. Currently playing around with the Sony picture profiles and as you said there are a bunch of other things under the hood! I'm using Cine4 and Pro mode but notice there are a ton of other settings, too. Do you tend to leave everything else as is or are there other things you do to obtain a more 'flat' image while filming. Thanks bud
@@dunnadidit Thanks for the reply that's awesome to know. I guess we all play around too much in the beginning! Currently filming on a Sony a7ii using Sigma f.14 16mm lense. The camera films maximum 1080p and since the lense is crop sensor once the image is full size it's probably less than 1080. Struggling with slight grainy footage but have done all I can do, low ISO, good lighting etc. I wonder if the 'grain' is really just the relatively low video pixel quality?
How much are your one on ones? I could really use your help!!!! I use a Sony 6400 but I have a 6000. I would like to use both cameras in my short film. But having a problem matching my hlg to the standard flat
Thank you so much for this info! Do you have a recommended profile for doing a recap video for a concert? I mostly go to edm shows with crazy stage light production.
hey, now that you have used the a7sIII and a7c(specifically) do you feel any different about the use of specific color profiles.... i talked to you about getting the a7c for christmas...i am in the middle of a move which will open up alot of chances to shoot and test these things out but i am currently quarantined and trying to do some research to prepare..PLUS i am also waiting for my new laptop to arrive and dont currently have access to a computer i can use to grade so im basically bored out of my mind/currently unable to test things for myself...and looking for any info you feel like sending my way
Nope! It’s pretty much the same! Now that I’m shooting a7siii I shoot a lot of slog 3 but when I shoot my a7iii or a6600 it’s still the same. A7c would be no different.
@@dunnadidit thank you again.. sorry It took so long to say that... my laptop finally gets here tomorrow so I will finally be able to start looking at things
Just a got a sony a6400 ya its confusing you have to go to page 11 under the first menu why its burried in menus and not on the function button with iso whitbalnce exposure and other things . Then pick from whats labeled pp1 through pp8 then go to a submenu from there and pick from settings that lead to another submenu. I definitely had to hunt for these options it really should of been on the front page of the first menu with the framrate options .
I have a sony a6400 with 16 mm 1.4... the problem I am facing is.. its showing the skin too sharp and I can see any spot on my face and the skin tone is not good.. I used to have a nikon d7100 with 35mm 1.8 and in same settings the face used to look really good... can you please guide me where I am going wrong. thank you
Very simple and informative! I tried to look through the comments to see if there was an answer to my question but, I have an a6400...I want to use the HLG3 pp...is there anything I need to change(detail, blacks ,etc.) in that profile or just shoot straight HLG3?
awesome ...i am from ethiopia...i love the way you tell us about pp.......even if 8 bit in sony a7 iii is not enough to play with s log 2 footage I am a fun of s log 2.but the footage I got from standard picture profile is bad but the footage you got from the standard profile is very nice ...what is you the reason behind the footage?
SLOG2 is still useable for sure, I find you just have to really NAIL the exposure right on in camera. If you don’t get that, that’s when it starts to fall apart for me. The reason my standard profile looks nice on the shot with the plants is because there isn’t a lot of dynamic range in that shot. It’s not clipping the whites or the blacks. All the information in the scene fits inside the range that the picture allows.
Dunna, 100% S Log 2 is tough to grade unless you have time. I have not tried hlg3 as I usually stick with hlg2. Do you change hlg3 to rec 709 or do you keep it bt2020?
You won’t notice a HUGE difference between hlg2 and hlg3 but I do suggest playing with it. I leave it on bt2020 but only because I have a technical lut that corrects it from bt2020 so I need to use that for it to work.
@@dunnadidit i found this info on the youtube Chanel of Gerald Undone but not sure anymore but somewere on the net :-) I think it was better if you grade with the APP Filmconvert . Yes if you use it with with filmconvert better to put on REC709 ...What do you think?
I need to do a bit more research but my understanding is that bt2020 has a bit wider color options so I felt like I was getting a bit more out of it but I don’t know that it really makes a huge difference. Mostly I use it because I use specific correction luts designed to use the bt2020 option.
Justin, this is such a helpful video. I've been struggling recently because I shoot in Cine 2 and then color grade it. I add the Premiere Pro fix for Mac at the end (it helps in fixing the desaturated colors and tints that Premiere causes when you render using a Mac). But for my last video, the end result that was uploaded to TH-cam looked way too punchier than I wanted it to be. I have no idea why it's doing that. Have you had any issues with Premiere pro exports and how did you fix them? I was thinking if I should start shooting in HLG3 or SLOG 2 rather than my Cine2 profile.
That said, I do notice that TH-cam always looks different than QuickTime, which looks different than premiere. So it’s got to be that some different kind of processing is happening at each stage
@@dunnadidit I don't think that it's not working, it's definitely working but rather than being desaturated, it's doing the opposite and getting too contrasty.
@@dunnadidit yeah, you are right. This might be it. I just need to figure out the best mix in color grading so it doesn't look too punchy after export.

Dunna, 100% S Log 2 is tough to grade unless you have time. I have not tried hlg3 as I usually stick with hlg2. Do you change hlg3 to rec 709 or do you keep it bt2020?
You won’t notice a HUGE difference between hlg2 and hlg3 but I do suggest playing with it. I leave it on bt2020 but only because I have a technical lut that corrects it from bt2020 so I need to use that for it to work.
I use only HLG2 / Rec 709 and I am very happy with the result! :-)
Nice! I’ve played back and forth between bt2020 and rec709. What made you go rec709?
@@dunnadidit i found this info on the youtube Chanel of Gerald Undone but not sure anymore but somewere on the net :-) I think it was better if you grade with the APP Filmconvert . Yes if you use it with with filmconvert better to put on REC709 ...What do you think?
I need to do a bit more research but my understanding is that bt2020 has a bit wider color options so I felt like I was getting a bit more out of it but I don’t know that it really makes a huge difference. Mostly I use it because I use specific correction luts designed to use the bt2020 option.
This was fantastic, just the explanation I needed!
Perfectly explained! Well done! Thank you very much
Thanks a ton!
Justin, this is such a helpful video. I've been struggling recently because I shoot in Cine 2 and then color grade it. I add the Premiere Pro fix for Mac at the end (it helps in fixing the desaturated colors and tints that Premiere causes when you render using a Mac). But for my last video, the end result that was uploaded to TH-cam looked way too punchier than I wanted it to be. I have no idea why it's doing that. Have you had any issues with Premiere pro exports and how did you fix them? I was thinking if I should start shooting in HLG3 or SLOG 2 rather than my Cine2 profile.
When I was using premiere more I always used their gamma fix lut on export and that seemed to help. Not sure why it wouldn’t be working for you 🤷🏻♂️
That said, I do notice that TH-cam always looks different than QuickTime, which looks different than premiere. So it’s got to be that some different kind of processing is happening at each stage
@@dunnadidit I don't think that it's not working, it's definitely working but rather than being desaturated, it's doing the opposite and getting too contrasty.
@@dunnadidit yeah, you are right. This might be it. I just need to figure out the best mix in color grading so it doesn't look too punchy after export.
Slog on Sony ZV-1 require high ISO. I can't reduce it to less than 1000.
That’s called base iso. Different cameras and different picture profiles have different settings for that
Great info. Thank you!
