Hey bro, happy it helped you, wish you the best!
this video is absoluetly helpful thank you!
Happy it helps! Appreciate the feedback!
Bro dont forget when you import your voice to Davinci to turn it to mono or pan it to the center, now its off to the left and its a bit weird to listen to it, especially on headphones
Thx for the advice i though i did that but maybe not everywhere! :)
Thank you I’ve been looking for a tutorial like this for a long time.
Liked and subscribed!
Happy it helped you bro!
Awesome video. Thank you🎉
Thank you sir I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks a lot! Easy to understand! I would like to shoot a car video soon, and your video was the best so far. 😉
I’m happy it was helpful, wishing you best of luck!
Hell yeah, you uploaded at the perfect time. Just came from Instagram to check if u had uploaded it. Gonna use it for my short documentary about Estonian car culture.
Haha alright man that’s cool to hear! Hope this helps. Keep me posted on the results 🔥🔥
Great tips! Thank you 🙌🏻 I’ll try them out soon
Ok brother good luck! Thx for dropping a comment! Appreciate that :)

You are welcome sir Sebastian Jackowski
Bro this is the best video and explanation ever! Great work, thank you!!
Hey brother I appreciate that! Hope it helps you!
great tutorial ! thank you
You are welcome brother, appreciate you dropping by in the comments!
Do you ever shoot vertical with the RS4? No issues balancing the camera with the zoom lens in vertical?
Hello sir, i almost never shoot vertical, but the times i have shot verticzl i never had a problem with my zoom lens. I balance it in the middle. I usually shoot 4k with 9:16 aspect ratio on my monitor screen
These angles are very good!
Appreciate you my friend.
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
God bless this guy! Well done soldier.
we appreciate you!!
Haha thank you sir, appreciate your comment!! 🫡
huge thanks
You’re welcome brother, thanks for dropping a comment!!!
Great video
Thank you sir !
Is there some equal stuff in premiere pro for the tracking?
Thank you for the tips ❤
Yw!! 😎😎
Awesome video! Just got an RS4 and it's so much better than the RSC-2 I've been using, but the DaVinci tips are what I very much needed. Thanks brother 🍻
Just got my new cam and gimbal and gonna be editing in Davinci so these vids are extremely helpful TYSM!🙌
Yes bro enjoy it! I love Davinci, also for color grading.
thx man!
You’re welcome brother
I just watched the video, but I haven't tested the gimbal yet. In my footage, you can often see a little horizontal jerk while I'm orbiting around the car.
I should avoid that by giving a continuous rotation of the wrist, as you suggest. I can't wait to test it to solve the problem.
What do you think about making a nice in-depth tutorial on the orbit movement around the car? Great job, man! You're great!
Hey sir! Appreciate your comment. Exactly!! That is the reason, don’t be afraid to make your shots a bit faster, the continuous movement will get that horizontal shake out. I know exactly what you mean. I had it too in the beginning. Keep moving in a smooth motion with enough speed :)
And overtime you can slow it down when you get used to it. Take some tries & you’ll get it right, add some stabilization and you are good to go :)
Thank you for video, very helpful. No waste time. Which gimbal you using and which lens? 24-70?
Hi brother appreciate you. Yeah i like things simple & clear myself so i try to make it like that :) i use the dji rs4 and the sony zoom 24-70. I balance it in the middle of the zoom and works well !
Thanks for all the tips, it really helps
You’re welcome brother
Have you tried using the Planar Tracker in the Fusion tab? In my experience it produces a lot better stabilization than the Inspector Stabilization option.
Sometimes it takes a bit of fine-tuning, but as you use it, you learn how it behaves and it's easier to get it right from scratch.
Yeah, thats what i do in technique 2 :)
THANKS FOR THIS FR ✨
You’re welcome buddy, i rly appreciate the comment here! I’ve put a lot of effort into this one 😃
This deserves so much more attention. Thank you
I appreciate this feedback! You’re welcome
Straight to the point and perfectly delivered! 🔥🔥🔥
Question though, how can this be done on something like a single-take video like a real estate walkthrough from entering the house, walking around all rooms (in FPV mode), and exiting the house?
I have different objects I'm trying to do point tracking or planar tracking throughout the take e.g. a dining table, a chandelier and a flower vase - I can't figure this out.
Hmmm if you want to make your real estate clean & engaging I would personally not do it in 1 take. I’ve seen some crazy nice videos on instagram with some nice transitions that go me hooked into watching. But if you do it i’d go for technique 1, but kind of depends on the shot, gotta try some options here n there
Great vid, what monitor is that?
That’s the shinobi 7: amzn.to/3MbSsrw
Absolute banger of a vid this is so helpfull thanks
Happy it helped you bro! Thx for dropping a comment here!! Appreciate that
Thank you very much for the tutorial. Excellent and helpful. One question: when do you recommend to use planner vs tracker?
Thank you brother. I use the planar tracker when it’s more of a pattern such as rims. I use tracker when it’s really just one specific point. Hope that helps!
Perfect. Thank you really much! New follower
Thank you brother I appreciate that! You’re very welcome
This just changed the way my edits are gonna come out completely, so useful thank you!
Alright bro! You’re welcome appreciate the feedback. Once i found out all these techniques after lots of trial and error, they changed my game!
I love the way you teach! I just followed
You’re welcome brother! I try to keep things simple :)
Super helpful video 🙌🏾🙌🏾
You’re welcome brother!
Liked, followed! So good content you make! Thanks for that! When it comes to car videos especially with speedramps i am really struggling with the framrate etc. Can someone please tell me once and for all: in which framerate to record and which framerate to export :D I always do: 50fps record and export in 25 but i find it not smooth enough! I think i am doing something wrong.
Hey bro thanks, for speed ramping the higher the frame rate you record the better. I will try to make a video on that soon brother!
awesome video! great tips! what focal length are u using for the zoom lens?
Euhmml im not really sure here for the shots, but pretty wide around 30
Like how u simplified things.. easier to understand 🎉
I try to keep things simple indeed :D appreciate your feedback bro!
so good!!!
Thx Guy :D
Thank you very very very very much for the video!
You are very very very welcome my brother!
Thakns!, i will try it
Let me know how it goes :)
Wait so the stabilization comes from the tracker node and not the stabilization menu right?
Depends on which technique you mean. I show everything clearly step by step.
Which software stabilizes videos better: Mocha or DaVinci?😊
I’ve never heard of mocha tbh 😅😅
Thanks
You’re welcome brother
Great video. I’ve been doing car show videos on my channel for under one year. I’m heading to Kissimmee FL for the Mecum Auction and these tips will really help me get better!
Oww that sounds like a sweet plan bro! If i come to FL once, you wanna shoot stuff together? :D
@ I’m from Massachusetts, not Florida. I’ll only be there next week.
Ok cool! Aah yea i get it, just for the event ? Dope!
Very good, Can u do that with After Effects and Premiere
Hi bro sorry but i don’t use any of those programs :)
Thank you for uploading this video, it really helps me 🔥.
I want to ask if the way to stabilize a moving car video shoot is the same as the way in this video or is there another way?
You’re welcome bro.
Depends on the shot, i’d say try with technique one to get out biggest jitters
@TheCarVideoGuy Ok thanks for your suggestion, I might try technique one
My guy coming in with yet another simple to follow tutorial! Do you use the free version of Da Vinci?
I have the studio version myself, but everything in this video is on the free version! :) appreciate your comment brother!
I just bought the rs4 pro thank you for this
You’re welcome brother, enjoy & good luck!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
You’re ver welcome bro thx for the feedback!
Amazing video, could you please answer, do you speed ramp in edit page or fusion page(time stretcher)
I just speed ramp in the edit page actually. But I do it pretty basic. I'll make a video on this topic in the near future.
Thank you for your help!
You’re very welcome!
camera focous Sethings?
Autofocus continuous spot large :)
Awesome tips! I almost can't believe I get to watch this video for free! One question, do you know a budget friendly external monitor? Shinobi is a great piece of gear, but way above my budget :D
Yes sir for sure! Whats ur budget? You want 5 or 7 inch?
@ I was looking to spend no more than £200. 7inch would be nice but if any of the 5 inches are better, it doesn't matter the most 👍
Thank you sir 🫡
You’re very welcome captain 🫡
You sir are the goat !
Thank you brother for the feedback! I appreciate that 😎🚀
Impresif❤❤
Thank you brother for the feedback!
I can do it the same in premier pro?
I never used premier pro, i think some of them are possible
I’m still learning video work, should I keep my steady shot on when using a gimbal and I tend to get a lot of warping when stabilizing, is that on user side or the software side what can I do to fix this?
Hi man, yeah that’s probzbly on the user side i’m pretty sure. Practice getting those gimbal shots in a smooth continuous motion. Dont forget to take several shots, this way you have options when you are editing :) keep practicing
Nice Jeep Liberty/Cherokee!
Haha yeah indeed :D
Awesome! I've seen some of your videos on Instagram :)
Questions: Doesn't RS4 have object tracking? IDK if you have experience with Adobe AE, but is there a similar planar tracking like this one from DaVinci?
Thx in advance and subbed!!
Hey brother thanks for stopping by in the comments.
The RS4 has object tracking , but I think only if you have the DJI RAVENEYE accessorie.
And for Adobe AE, i don't use it but I know it has a similar point tracking feature as shown in technique 3. For Planar tracker feature i'm not sure tbh. Thanks!
What do you track when you orbit from the side to the car to the front of the car ( I mean the point that you track disapear at a moment)
Or if someone or something unfocused hide for a moment the car you try to stabilize
Then i use just the forst technique actually
And maybe play a bit with the smoothness slider
Whats the screen called attached to the gimbal to add to mine so that you can see while fiming?
It’s called a monitor mount, the one i’m using here is the shinobi 7. If you want to check it out, i’ve linked it in the description :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥😎😎
Amazing video thank you very much, and nice jeep 😵🤩
Appreciate you brother, yeah the jeep is cool 😎😎
Why do you use, IBIS? in camera body?
It’s what works best for me personally. But set to standard, not active!
Gets rid of micro-jitters.
Yeah.. so I need the setup for that gimble
Try without gimbal, trust me. Let me know how it goes! ;)
I just need to know what monitor and mount you're using.. I have the canon R7 paired with the scorp 2 gimble. I find it rather difficult to see the camera while videoing and would much rather a standalone monitor to view.
Bro, What focus settings are you using? I'm on an FX3 and I can't get it to focus in one spot it's doing my tree in!
Hi bro i use auto focus spot large
@ nice one! I will give that a try! Cheers man. Just subscribed 🙌🏻
Ok man hope it works! It works well for me :) also check shift sensitivity & speed, i have them both in the middle
@@TheCarVideoGuy Legend thanks bro!
I’m going to test it out, but how do you think these tactics would work with my Osmo pocket 3? It’s my first camera that I can actually do something with
These work for sure with the osmo pocket 3 aswel, no worries! I also have it 😃
@ I just got it About 2 months ago and for the past two months it’s been less than 30 degrees so I can’t stay out and practice with it for too long yet😂
Solid…. 🤌🤌🤌
Appreciate the feedback!
In you opinion do you think davinci has a better stabilization than premiere pro ?
I don’t any idea i never used premiere pro in my life. Im happy with davinci :)
@@TheCarVideoGuy ok thanks
Yw brother
от души,братан
❤️😎
Good video.
Thank you brother
Loce this, i use Adobe unfortunately, wish adobe stabilisation was as friendly. Especially in Premiere, stabilise and then slow it down, it starts panicking
Yeah i never used adobe but i’ve heared! :D
I have The same setup, Sony A7IV The same 24-70 and DJI RS4. But I work on the Premier Pro now.
Ok nice brother!
@ i se You’re clip with the baby car on Instagram and man thi is sic!!! Great Greg work! I’m very impressed🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What is your memory card ?
Sandisk 200mb/s v30. Nothing too crazy actually :)
Thanks ! And how looks your set up in A7IV do you use auto mode or set up manually ? :)
