What a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment. Don't forget to check out the advanced settings video too - ruclips.net/video/k2ICurq3hso/видео.html
I actually had already watched both the videos and only now, after the nth time watching this one, I decided to thank you for all the efforts put into such videos!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the kind words - they're always appreciated.
The best educational video I have ever seen for photography. Thanks.
That's very kind of you to say, thank for taking the time to comment.
This tutorial is so good and a lot of the information can be used with other cameras. Another great video!
Wow, thanks - I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for the kind words. Sorry about the price. 😕
As an amateur film maker and someone who doesn't have the time to study film this was VERY beneficial and helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear - thanks for taking the time to comment.
You deserve a lot more recognition for your settings series of videos. I certainly appreciate all the hard work and clear information.
That's very kind of you to say, your note and those of your fellow viewers provide ample recognition.
I have just bought my a6300 and am brand new to the world of videography, so thank you for helping me through getting my settings right and preventing me from wasting hours and hours trying to figure it out myself.
I'm always happy to hear that my videos have found their intended audience.
This is a goldmine! Thanks for sharing and happy Canada Day!

Thank you very much for this video, this is exactly the information I needed to start venturing into the video world, found it helpful and not too overwhelming.
I'm glad that you found my video useful, thanks for the kind words.
Thanks a bunch for your video! I could not figure out how to get smooth colors and even panning correctly/smoothly. I did my first video and was very unhappy with the results.

Not only do your settings help but provides the user with opportunities to learn more about the settings you provided in order to understand better any additional personal tweaks.
Thank you very much for your time in showing this!

Hi Maarten. I've commented before regarding how great these videos you've provided here are. I keep returning to this one when I feel I might be forgetting something about my a6300. It's so densely packed with only what's valuable, and with fantastic clarity.
My goodness - what a pleasure to read your kind words. It's always nice to know that my videos are being useful to viewers.

I'm glad it got to you in time, and that you found it useful. Thanks again for the encouragement to do this one - and I'm always open to suggestions.

Thanks, it's always nice to know that my videos are useful and appreciated.
Great tutorial! People should learn from this. Is so clear and straight to the point that makes SO MUCH information easy to digest. If you can, please make a video tutorial on Automatic Subject Tracking while recording video. Thanks a million.
That's very kind of you to say, thanks! I'm sure that's embedded in some review, but let me see if I can fit that in my schedule.
I felt like I was going to be the only one noting that sony should use you for instructional videos, along with best educational video. Your production, timing, information delegation, cine & editing skills are just top notch. Satisfying as well as if I was in high school being taught by an enthusiastic photography teacher who not only enjoys but employs continual top notch education and hands on help as a hobbyist but better. Definitely subscribing, I learned a lot very quickly with this video.
What a pleasure to read your kind words and your generous compliments, they are gratefully appreciated. And thanks for subscribing.
Great tutorial. Thorough and to the point.

I was very impressed by this video. Great information and your delivery was excellent. I tried shooting a video of myself with my A6300 (vlog-style) and it came out terrible. I'm going to try it again once I go through all your tips. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words. Best wishes, hope take two is a success.
Thanks for explaining the reasons behind your statements.
Glad to hear I have given you the information you need.
I've finally got my hands on my a6300. thank you so much for this tutorial.
It's always nice to hear from a viewer who has found my videos useful, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Excellent video. Thank you!!!
that's very kind of you to say, thanks.
This was 10 times more helpful than the Gary Fong tutorial I paid $40 for. In his, he just tells you what you can do with the camera but he doesn't tell you what button he's pressing or where to find anything in menus. So, thank you SO much.
Oh dear. I wish I'd had the good sense to charge for mine. Thanks for the kind words, always appreciated.
I might get paid eventually, once we start sharing your videos and you start getting more views. Thanks.
Thanks!
Excellent tutorial keep up the good work. Subscribed.

this is exactly what I was looking for! I have no idea how to use these cameras
So happy to hear that my videos are useful, thanks for the kind words.
Bravo sir. You're a treasure trove of practical, concise and well presented information. I am now getting into the video features of my a6300, and you've given me and others what we need to feel comfortable going forward. Thank you so much.
I certainly appreciate the kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.
This is the most calming instructional video I've seen for the Sony Alpha series. Well done!
Thanks! I so appreciate your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@MaartenHeilbron most welcome, I'm going through your videos now. I'm assuming your cinelens are fully manual?
The Sony cine lens aperture and focus is fully manual, although the zoom is motor assist and can be remote controlled.
Appreciate to all of your work! Thank you!
That's very kind of you to say, I have the nicest viewers.
Very helpful, thank you!
Always my pleasure, thanks for the kind words.
Nice Work Mr Maarten! Regrats from Brazil!
Always nice to hear from Brazil. Thanks for the kind words.
Great video. I think I can adapt this to my Sony RX10M3. Will watch this many times. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words - yes, I think that much of this is transferable to other recent Sony models. Always happy to answer questions if there's a disconnect.
That was great! very helpful, thank you :)
Thanks for your kind words, appreciated.
Watching today, with a newly acquired camera, his video was a memorable utility, leaving me fit to film. Thank you so much. Obrigado, saudações do Brasil. Att. Roberto
Obrigado pelas saudações brasileiras - e suas amáveis palavras. Estou sempre feliz em ajudar, por isso é bom saber que meus vídeos são úteis.
Great tutorial, thanks!
Very kind of you to say, thanks for taking the time to comment, appreciated.
I am so grateful with you, sir! My respects and admiration!
That's very kind, thanks so much!
Very professional! Thank you sir!
A pleaure to read your kind words, thanks very much!
I was struggling with colour grading and I don't why my footage changing the color every time at the same clip. You gave me the answer when you said "Don't use Auto white balance". Thank you
Always nice to know I've provided useful information. Thanks for the kind words.
A ton of helpful information! I've saved this video to my a6500 playlist, as I'm sure most is applicable. :-)
That's very kind. However, you may also like ruclips.net/video/xqq_N1tdzng/видео.html
Wow, when I find such great content, regardless the topic, it suddently comes back how used we are nowadays with bad content and how many amateuer are giving advice and do not invest the time to inform themselves on the topic. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us and for investing the time into such a great production. It was a pleasure to watch your video and I wish you all the best kind sir.
That is very kind of you to say, thank you! It's always a pleasure to hear from a viewer who appreciates my work.
Such a great explanation !
I appreciate your kind words.
I'm pretty advanced with the a6300, but your attention to extremely detailed video settings is really inspiring me to dig as deep as you have. I've graduated to a level where I can see myself using custom white balance settings in all scenarios now. Thank you for that professional advice. I didn't realize that you can over-ride brightness/exposure manually - but I never have to by utilizing prime lenses, ISO, and low shutter speeds.
I stumbled upon this video because I was specifically seeking professional advice on importing XAVCS 4K footage at the highest quality possible without using iMovie anymore. Can you advise me professionally on the BEST methods of importing XAVCS 4K footage on Macs for Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Final Cut PRoX, AND iMovie? (I use all 3)
I've been using iMovie because it imports the files and turns them into MOV format which is pretty high quality. The two issues are that iMovie libraries are becoming a hassle to manage (especially outside the software itself), AND I have lost imported footage SEVERAL times with iMovie. After I format the SD cards, if the footage isn't in iMovie like it SEEMED to be, then I get extremely frustrated because people pay me to do this work.
As a professional I can't have iMovie tampering with my fate just because I like to film in XAVCS 4K, S-log3 with sony products. Please oh please reply with some expert advice. This is a very unspoken issue around the internet relating to sony's codec. It seems like everyone just gets by however the wind blows with importing XAVCS 4K. It also seems like many people don't bother using 4K and S-log. I want to learn a professional method of importing XAVCS and stick with it for a while. Thank you again for your knowledge and expertise.
-Austin
Thanks for the kind words, and the recognition - always appreciated.
Have you watched the advanced video? ruclips.net/video/k2ICurq3hso/видео.html
First, I'd recommend that you choose one NLE and stick with it. Secondly, that you not use your NLE's file system as your backup strategy - I make a copy of the SD card(s) from a shoot in a folder before I do anything. I agree with you about iMovie - but it's not a very capable/professional tool - it just tries too hard to be easy for dummies.
The best way to import XAVC-S is just to use the File/Import dialog, that will make a transcoded copy for editing. I use FCP X, which finds video files easily. If you are concerned about drive space, you may wish to use "Leave Files in Place" - I do not, drives are cheap. For transcoding use "create optimized media". If your computer isn't fast enough to deal with your files, consider upgrading before using proxy media - I find that more cumbersome.
There is nothing wrong with Sony's XAVC-S codec - but please remember that these are NOT pro products. The problem is with the bit depth and the data rate. And the problem with the internet is the noise from people who have a lack of understanding of the technology and their tools.
Why would you use Slog? In general, I avoid even SLog2 unless there's no other way to manage the dynamic range of a scene (i.e. I have no options to better illuminate the subject and the background is over-bright). I find that it over compresses the scene, and with 8 bit, it's hard to retrieve any usable quality, and it requires a lot of unnecessary work. Create your colour profile in camera, which saves a lot of time in post - but be prepared to make small adjustments as required. Color Finale Pro is an excellent utility.
Hope this helps, happy to continue the conversation.
you got right to the point. thank you for that
Always my pleasure, thanks for the kind words
This was a huge help and I appreciate the time you put to make this tutorial look so good and easy to understand.
Thanks - it's always a pleasure to read kind comments from my viewers.
@@MaartenHeilbron Btw. I'm looking for most universal lense for this camera. Do you think Sony 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 is a good choice?
Probably not - I'm never all that happy with a lens that ramps the aperture as you zoom in. Although it doesn't zoom as far, I have and enjoy the 16-70.
@@MaartenHeilbron gonna check that out, thanks again
Always happy to help.
Thank you good sir
Always my pleasure.
Such great tutorials, straight to the point and no bla bra talk. Thank You
It's a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks.
