Perfect video. As someone who has been both diving and in media production for over 30 years - this is the only video you need. Thank you. The rest of on RUclips the videos can be thrown away.
I know of a few guys on RUclips and Instagram charging hundreds of dollars for this same content about color grading underwater footage. Thanks for that. You got my support.
Merci Seb! Took away some useful tips! One thing, I believe I saw you were using an a7sii. I stopped using slog2 underwater because I was struggling to bring back the colors and the lack of light was introducing too much noise. Back to cine 4 and it works pretty well despite losing some dynamic range, curious to have your thoughts :)
Hey! Funny that you bring that up because I was shooting cine 4 most of the time and then tried with S-Log once, ended up really liking the dynamic range available. It's a bit more complicated to color grade maybe at first, but in the end more room to change the colors. As for the noise, I agree, I use the denoiser from magic bullet once i'm done editing. It fixes this issue. So bottom line, I like both Cine 4 and S-log and dont really mind which one i'm using in the end. The most important still remain the visibility underwater. No picture profile will be as important as this (and you cant control it...)
Wow, great to see what color grading can do! At this point is there even a need for a red filter then? If I were to use one, would it make it easier to do the color grading later? When would you suggest to use one? Right now, I'm planning on using a gopro 8 black. Thanks!
What a fantastic tutorial! At the moment I'm using davinci resolve but most of your tips could be used in that program... Or I should switch to premier 😅
This was very helpful. Couple questions regarding source footage. If you shoot raw video, do you still white balance? Are you personally using those Keldan lights with the blue filters? Just learned about those. Seems quite nice but very spendy.
Hi! Sorrt I missed your comment, better late than never :-) I shoot with a flat picture profile using the underwater auto white balance, however I dont think it changes that much compare to the classic auto white balance. I am not using Keldan lights yet and very seldom use red filter. Only if I dive below 5 meters and know that I will not shoot anything above 5m for the whole duration of the shoot.
im new to using my sony a6400 for underwater videos. what would be the best colour profile to use so that when i colour grade the footage will look the best ? thanks !

When creating future videos you might NOT want to play music/singing while YOU are talking since it drowns out your voice.
Will keep that in mind for the next ones yes

What a fantastic tutorial!

I believe Resolve is even more complete! But yes, the concepts explained here can be applied with any color grading software :-)
Great tutorial, thank you so much. Subb'd
What focal length do you use for these shots?
Salut mec ! Tu fais des luts aqua pour iPhone par exemple ? Je cherche en vidéo surtout merci à toi !
vraiment bon tuto!
Merci :-)

Wich Color profile do you recommend to use in Sony UW¿ Any extra setting?
I would advise cine 2 or S-Log if you are confident exposing LOG already :)
im new to using my sony a6400 for underwater videos. what would be the best colour profile to use so that when i colour grade the footage will look the best ? thanks !
I would suggest you to try the following setting (you can custom your picture profile PP5 for instance): Black +3 / Color S-Gamut / CINE 2
hi, idk if you already answered this question but could you tell us what camera you are using for hese underwater clips?
Hello, A7sii and A7rii most of the time, but it works also wit GoPro for instance.
@@MaldavarFilms thx man
What PPO settings do you recommend for underwater?
Im jusing Cine 2 from Sony but depending on preferences all can give good results
hi was the footage shot on flat profile
sorry i mean what white balance
@@bobbyburns8801 no problem, it's either auto WB or UW Auto WB. But better to set a fixed Kelvin first to be honest.
the luts you sell can be use for lumafusion?
Yes it can :-)
is this gopro clips?
They're A7sii clip, but the same rules would apply for GoPro clips
Non, mais tu déboite toi. merci. Jtadore.
lol parfait
