How I Record My Shorts - BTS
So I wanted to quickly show off a quick peek of what my shorts/reels setup looks like. Nothing too fancy but I really like how easy it has become to turn the power on and basically just shoot. I am sure to keep moving things around and making it better but I hope it helps you get some inspiration on what you can do too.

Osmo Pocket 3 - Sharpness & Noise Reduction Settings - Bright Light
Просмотров 8433 месяца назад
A follow up video to my original video - ruclips.net/video/aRZ4dcGhL7M/видео.html . Here I go through the same method to seeing how the sharpness and noise reduction settings effect the final image BUT this time in brighter lights to mimic that of a high key look or an outdoor sunny look. I do know there are more levels in each setting but I wanted to quickly show the MAX and MIN of each settin...

How would you take pictures of gemstones the best? I have a mini photo tent. Dont know how to use light reflectors of diffusers on the sides.
This is all subjective and what you are hoping for but the tent and diffuser are usually to help soften the light, make it all more even and remove unsightly reflections so you can focus in on the gem or jewelery. Play around with multiple lights and try not to shine them directly on the gem unless that is the style you are looking for. Searching for Jewelry Macro Photography might help you find specific looks or guides as I'm no macro expert. Good luck 👍
Great job with the short and subtitles but if you were to do another would you be able to include photos that shows ISO examples please
The problem with shorts is that the are...so short. I was dabbling with the idea of a longer form video to provide some examples once the I complete the 3 sides. Stay tuned 🙂
@@shawnchenco absolutely make longer form content! Even if it’s an additional 3-4 minutes adding the extra context and screenshots will go along way :D
Let's gooooo!
Great comparison... I've been using -2 Sharpness and -1 Noise Reduction as my standard. Looking at your video, I'll probably use -1 for both moving forward.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you could take something away.
First
I find these comparisons are a bit unfair because you used the word "post-production". It means you have the "intention" to make some changes to the clips. Unlike changing the settings and using them as-is (without editing the sharpness/noise). During editing, sharpness can be increased (the opposite can produce a poorly-looked clip) but difficult to recover details (due to aggressive noise reduction). I always use -2/-2 because I have the flexibility to increase the sharpness and do something about the noise. But of course, some just want to have it pre-processed in the camera and use the clips without making any changes.
Thanks for the comment. That is fair. I have been finding editing DLOG M files have been frustrating when compared to something like SLOG3. I have been leaning more with SOOC to keep some videos with a quick turn around. I have seen a lot of people going -2/-2 so it seems to be a popular setting combo.
@@shawnchenco I don't think it is a popular setting, i think ppl go for it because it is the obvious choice if you are looking for flexibility during editing. But of course, one could also use 0/0 and could still be flexible during editing. Note: i am talking from a perspective of (semi-)aggressive editing.
I had been shooting in -2 Sharpness and -2 NR but I just shot a vlog and saw some pretty noticeable noise in the background on a hiking trail. I was surprised so I'll probably be going to -1 on Noise reduction. I can easily add sharpness in post but NR is a bit more taxing to do.
I notice noise much more apparent in darker scenes or darker areas. I couldn't tell too much in brighter or well lit spaces.
@@shawnchenco Yeah, noise happens when a higher ISO is needed. This is like when you turn the volume/gain up on speakers and there is audio distortion. With enough light, the ISO can remain low.
@@TimBrownTown I was noticing even the fan in the background (black) I could notice it being noisy even being well light. I assume it was because it was darker so you could see the noise easily. A white wall would be hard to tell if anything thing is there.
@@shawnchenco Yeah. I think that has something to do with dynamic range. Increasing the sharpness is adding artificial sharpness to the image, technically speaking. I learned that in high end home theater. We always turned down the sharpness all the way and most pro camera guys do to. I think the consensus with the Pocket 3 is -2 sharpness and -1 noise reduction, which is what I'm moving to. But, there are no hard and fast rules.
Great idea, cheers :)
Oh like it. sharp 0, noise 1, sharp 1 noise 1, sharp... :) awesome! any way you answer on my question about the noise (because on diji forum they point to audio instead.. heh). I have compare my sony zve10 and osmo3 and found horrible blurring in the details. Started poking around in the settings and it's just what I need. It's not so bad now -1/-1 - thanks!
Glad it could help. Sometimes we just need a base line and examples. One day I will try and remember to do a brighter version and see if it helps or changes anything.
what about keeping the settings at 0 and adding something like a mist filter
Definitely something to change the contrast (depending if it's a white or black mist) but honestly I think it depends on personal preference and needs of the shooter. If they want more detail or maybe more contrast or even just a stylized shot. I have mist filters for my camera (not Osmo) and it's fun but I can be "replicated" in post. I like having a bit more control and flexibility to what I can edit after. I am not actually sure what strength the Osmo mist filter comes in but you will definitely have to use it purposefully. I wish there was more clearance when off to keep filters on.
@@shawnchenco I'm not a videographer or photographer so my knowledge is limited but I've seen 1/4 and 1/8 filters for both white and black diffusion. If I were to buy one I would go with a black diffusion filter to get that glow effect on night shots because I suck at editing
@@ArtemioSilva haha you and me both. If I can just shoot and it be perfectly edited after that would be perfect! Lol but a bit more elbow grease has to be put in to finish it up. Honestly HLG is pretty decent and so is Normal, sometime I just like to be extra fancy 🤣
I tried the variable ND from k and f but it left a horrible cross pattern at the end . Im sure the regular ones are fine..I went with the neewer variable
That is always a risk with variable NDs. I have a regular variable ND for my camera and (although it's older) it works fine but definitely suffers from the x cross pattern. I will probably stick with solid NDs for my needs without the risk of that dreaded X
This video popped up on my feed. I do similar videos and want to let you know your content is really good. It seems that the Polar Pro was a bit stronger so it looked a lot better. I did a comparison Video with the K&F concept VND filters and the Freewell, and found the K&F were actually stronger. After looking at my own footage, I really like the K&F VND's.
I like the K&F for size/profile. I was looking at Freewell filters for my main camera since I was looking for a magnetic system for quick swapping. Was it a big price difference between the two?
@@shawnchenco I just have a screw on type for my main camera. When I looked into the magnetic type for it, they were much more expensive. It's hard for me to spend a lot on these filters but if I had to do it again, I'd get one with hard stops so I don't over rotate and get the dreaded x-pattern. I don't like non variable ND's because if I'm using them it's outside and outside lighting changes.
@@TimBrownTown non variable for photos mainly but if you have a slight variable range for your ISO you might be able to make it work. That is how I will be using my NDs so I don't have to worry about bumping the tiny threads and can just pop it on and go. But I will probably keep a few in my pouch for big changes in light 👍
Nicely done! You could cut this down under 60 seconds and make it into a short. "Make your cellphone footage look PRO" I think it would do well, maybe get you a bunch of subs.
Thanks Tim, didn't really think about it that way but it might be a quick side video idea. Thanks 👍
Which setting for noise reduction and sharpness would you recommend for filming beaches and landscapes?
You know what I don't know. I have been meaning to make a video on bright environments when shooting as I shot in a darker space. I'll have to plan this out for another video test.
OMG THAT'S SO COOL
It was my first time trying this out and I am glad it worked out...enough haha. Fun experiment but I can see how this could help people in small/plain spaces create an amazing new location/creative space
Lots of facial shadows. Fix your lighting
Ya it was pretty dark but I did want to see how it would deal with shadows and highlights. More a test video than properly lit. Definitely could have been better 👍
❤
Want to thank you for making a quick straightforward video that helped me understand better. Instead of a 10 minute video “for the algorithm…”
Lol thanks I try. I want to make content that I would want to watch myself. 👍
I have the Pocket 3, and use sharpness -2 and noise reduction -2. I find that in making vlog style, close-up self-videos, those settings render my skin in a more flattering way. In your video, unfortunately, I couldn’t tell the difference between your different setting changes. And I watched on a 50 inch TV screen. It might’ve been more revealing if you had used a super close-up of your face; that might have reflected the sharpness and noise reduction changes better. But in your video, the differences were lost on me.
@@taurus3973 thanks for the feedback. Things were minor in details I had to look super closely at my monitor to notice it. For the most part I probably wouldn't notice or care but this was just my findings. Each shot will look different based on availability of light, contrast, style and look etc. Everyone has their preference of settings and this goes to show that mine aren't for everyone and that you gotta test out and see what works for you ❤️👍
Did you notice pixelisation on a blue even sky ? No matter what setting I use, it is horrible. I have to use noise reduction in after effects.
@@mrgreenfull3897 I haven't done extensive tests but not a bad idea if we want to see the differences in a brighter environment. Maybe on my next sunny day off I'll see if I can't take my Osmo Pocket 3 out for some testing. What exactly were you seeing in the blue sky that was looking bad?
Thanks!

Lol the desk or soup? 🤣 The desk is Fully Jarvis desk which was absorbed by Hermon Miller. The desk has done me well.
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful. Can you also add the links?
Added. Hope this helps :)
Cool
Lovely vid, you deserve more followers!
Aww thanks, just hoping to share some information that could help others. 👍
