Thanks for sharing my stuff, you sexy beast. 😜🙏
@Gerald Undone - Thanks for digging into the deep stuff you beautiful giant 😘
Always interesting, no useless blablabla, : to the point, instructive, clear and easily understandable, I love your content.
@@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!
What monitor you recommend for Video editing.?? Thanks!!
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.
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.
Maaan.. about 947 previous RUclips 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
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 👌
I really appreciate that Michael! Thanks for letting me know!
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! 🙂
Thanks so much!
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.
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!
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.
Absolutely the best description I’ve watched on this topic, thank you! Cheers
Glad to hear it!!
Not only the best, I'd say the one we needed. Finally I can decide wgen to use the S-log which might be....never!
I agree!
I agree!
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!
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.
This is awesome - will use HLG-3, love how you demonstrated it looks after production
This was fantastic, just the explanation I needed!
I really appreciate the great efforts you're doing, and thank you so much for the good work !
Thanks for watching!
one of the best videos on log setting. Bravo. Tricky subject.
Great stuff, thank you, just what i was looking for.
Just what I needed to begin understanding this complicated topic! Thank you
Thanks for the kind words!! I’m glad it was helpful!
That was so informative and so easy to understand, thank you!!!!
Great video, love how you explained the why 🙌😃
Dunna, Always super useful. Thanks for the video
Thanks so much!
Cool information! Thanks for sharing this video. God bless you! 👍🏼😊🔥
Love the analogy - love coffee - nice work brother!
So helpful video, thank you so much!!! 🌷🌷🌷
This is what I was looking for. 👌

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 so much!
Great video very helpful!
Dude, thank you. Great job.
Thanks! But can you go over your detailed settings for each picture profile on the A7 III?
Very nice explanation my brotha!
Perfectly explained! Well done! Thank you very much
Thanks a ton!
Great info. Thank you!
Excellent! The BEST (edit) PP explanation I've seen so far. and I mean it.
Thank you!!
Big fan bro always i learn many thing from your videos thanks 🙏
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!🙏🏼
I'm glad I could help!
Really helpful video! Thank you so much brother 🙏🙏🙏
Cheers!
Great explanation! Helps me decide between the A6300 and A6100. A6300 it is :)
Brilliant teacher you are man, thanks!
Glad you think so! Thanks a ton!
you have no idea how much you helped me. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Best explanation about picture profiles that I’ve seen.
Thank you!!
Thanks for the great video! Now I understand the profiles!! :-)
Great to hear! Thanks for watching?
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.
Thanks so much! I’ll definitely consider it!
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!
I’ve been shooting standard more often lately too! It’s quite handy when you need it!
Hi there. When you say standard, do you mean no Picture Profile? I have just switched to Sony and there are so many Profiles! :)
Excelente Dunna Thanks a lot
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!
Very well explained Dunna!!
Thank you!
Great video Dunna! I sent a suggestion in your suggestion box! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! This was actually the first video inspired by comments in the suggestion box so I’m excited to do more!
@@dunnadidit Looking forward to it!
Thank you Dunna for this video! I think the HLG3 is the best option.
Nice!
Great vid, thanks!
Very good explained! Thanks a lot🎥🎛🎚🎤
Thanks for watching!
Well done dude!
For slog 2 of 3, does the picture profile (like pp1-9) affect the look too, or does it not change when selecting gamma?
Impossible to be more clear than this. The best video about picture profile
Thank you so much!!
I learn a lot from you Dunna. thanks
Great to hear!!
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.
Thanks! Really needed this video!!
Glad it was helpful!
@@dunnadidit Maybe follow up with your actual camera settings for each profile?
Ie black, saturation etc at this level.
And keep up the good work
All the stock settings. The only thing I change is putting detail to -7
@@dunnadidit Final question. Whats the reason for the -7?
Well 'Detail' in general
Amazing video mate!
Thanks dude!
Dunna "Does it" all the time! thx man!
Thanks for watching!
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)?
I like to just choose one at random and surprise myself in post :) (this is especially fun for multi-shot videos!)
Hahahaha I love this.
Great video (as usual). I’ve just been planning to get more familiar with this topic. Also! Have you gotten your hands on the Sony 16-55 f2.8? Curious about your thoughts on it!
Thank you!! I haven’t gotten it yet (except at camera camp for a day). It’s a fantastic lens but I’ve been shooting less and less with my apsc cameras lately so it doesn’t make sense for me to pick one up. In fact I just sold my a6400 and 18-105 to lighten my apsc kit a bit. Got that a7siii coming soon!
Must you shoot in RAW to be able to color grade the footage later? Or can you just do it with any footage from the camera as long as you selected the picture profile?
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 :((
U MADE IT SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND!
Happy to help!
I have a Sony SF5II and there is a editor who will be doing color grading and adding SFX. Which PP do you recommend shooting on for a web series that will have SFX? Thank you!
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 !
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
I pretty much leave most things as is. I went through a phase where I played with everything but I’ve dialed that back a lot
@@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?
Yeah that’s a tough one, sounds like you’re doing all the right stuff. Unfortunately, grain is just part of the package sometimes.
Great explanation - I thought I was taking care of things by bracketing at multiple exposures
Dunna! Good one.
Hi, great video. Would this apply to Sony z90. P profiles have the same name but your cameras are not camcorders like mine is. Thanks
Well done.
For me it’s a no brainer to use log, I hate blowing out highlights and it gives it more of a film look after grading.
Boom!
How does the white balance settings change the look of the picture profile? I find after a choose a picture profile what white balance should I use? Its confusing because by changing the WB then the profile completely changes and I have to re-think my picture profile..
Great Video!
Best information so far 😉
Thank you
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 .
can some one tell me if I shoot in Slog 3 do i need to colour grade it first or can i just use LUTS that I have 100's of ?
That coffee analogy though
Haha glad you like that.
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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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.
damn that coffee shots made me hungry for breakfast😂. Nice informative Video man
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
in hlg profile which color space do you use bt2020 or rec709?
Hey Dunna, big fan here, is it possible you do a HLG3 color grading tutorial? I'm torn between HLG3 or SLOG2 in my a6400
Hey Dunna! I was wondering, which picture profile do you use for dark areas (BLACK)? I recently did a video with my camera (FX3) in SLOG3 and noticed keeping it at the base ISO DOES NOT WORK. I am assuming it has to do with the SLOG profile. I typically want a darker look to my videos and am struggling to find the best profile/settings to make this happen. If you have any tips please let me know, thanks!
I basically shoot SLOG3 all the time.
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)
From Neaples, where the coffee is a cult...i loved your analogy...:)...Looking for my best run&gun setting on new sony a 7s3...:) Ciao!
With the 7s3 I’ve been shooting almost all SLOG3 and loving it.
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
When Did You Switch to Davinci Resolve And Could you make a video on the issues faced while Switching from Premier to Resolve
I’ve been trying it out for a month or two now. Not sure if I’ve “switched” yet but I do like it a decent amount. Definitely planning to make a video.
Dunna Did It yeah, I’d love a video on what programs you recommend... especially on a budget!
Hi...so good clip. I have alpha a 6100 and it doesn't have picture profile. Can I achieve quality like slog or cine 4 with color grading?
Which would you recommend for night time on a A7iii
is there an iPhone or Android app that can let you do film stills simulation recipes so you can set them on your phone, so when you pick up your smartphone, you can shoot Fuji Provia, Fuji Acros or Kodak Portra etc, I know about lightroom but I don't want a subscription app plus I have Fimo, I want something to customise on my phone so my phone will simulate Fujifilm colour etc
Caffeine junkie FTW!!!! That's me too!!! Awesome video bro!!!!!!
Hahaha 😂 I figured some people would be able to connect with that.
@@dunnadidit Aeropress or pour over with some fresh ground beans is my shit!!! Hahaha
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?
You can just leave it as is!
Hey, question: I do not use pp myself, but feel that it mainly helps to get consistency across pictures in terms of editing, do that you do not have to adjust your pictures from 0. I watched this video, but do not see the advantage yet as long as you edit your pictures later on via laptop/adobe. I do not mind to spend time to adjust my raw files. How do you look at this? Thanks!
Picture profiles don't apply to photos. They're really only for video. If you're shooting raw photos, picture profiles actually don't work. Even if you shoot with them enabled, the minute you import them into lightroom, the picture profile goes away and what you see if the raw photo. I guess the fact that this was just for video and not for photos was something I could have brought up. I took for granted that people would know that 🤦♂️
Thanks! I see quite some inconsistencies across these videos and what you are telling now makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
Love it!
Thanks!
Can I ask what your specific settings are in hlg3?
This was very helpful.
That’s great to hear!!
Nice thumbnail.
Edit:
Nice thumbnail too!
Peter McKinnon will love your coffee analogy
Haha I’m glad I got the approval on both thumbnails lol
@@dunnadidit just to be clear. Second one is ever so slightly better than the first one
QUESTION Love your videos! I’m a starting RUclipsr and have build a basic studio. Shooting on a Sony A7C, light setup is okay and at this stage I’d like to focus more on shooting the content the on the post-production. How can I setup the right color profile for my (not changing studio circumstances) in order to get the best results?
