[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Enjoy guys :) I've linked some related vids in the description if you fancy delving a little deeper with this. Here’s the curves video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYepZIinibdsisk

[@matthewwoodstock544]

Man, love your channel! waiting for video about curves)

[@tadikovideo]

Harv Video/Audio Stuff definitely do the curve video!

[@nagatom]

A curve video would be super cool! I appreciate your videos, I'm learning a lot.

Hey, I felt like I had to drop a comment ! Just found out about you like a week ago, and I'm pretty amazed by the top quality of your videos, the clarity in your explanations but also and especially by your peacefulness, which almost feels like a blessing. Subbed, can't wait to keep going with you !

[@iviaverick52]

People may say that s-log is pointless for 8-bit, but for Sony Alpha cameras in particular, the S-log profiles have the least amount of in-camera noise reduction. This translates to less ghosting artifacts from noise reduction, so that alone could be worth it. It get's you more luminance dynamic range even with 8-bit, just don't go crazy on the coloring.

[@HuyenTueDao]

Another super informative and well-done video, Harv! As someone still very amateur I really appreciate all the side-by-sides and explicit pointing out of things to watch out for. It's helping me develop my eye and my knowledge of what to look out for. Please, please, please do a video on curves! Thanks so much, Harv. Huge help. Thanks for helping me slowly get better at video.

[@SmeagolTheGreat]

The curves vs. contrast thing was a real revelation for me, since I always used contrast and sometimes the result felt a tad too flat for me.

[@DanielTuriman]

I always make sure when shot log profile, need to know a total lighting, exposure, weather, and display histogram on camera, and this tips get more input knowldege. Thank you man

[@SONYAdicto]

The curves tutorial would be AWESOME!!

I’d like to see how you do curves!!

[@depone6334]

dude, what a HUGE difference it makes after you grade it, awesome video

[@IdanKim.702]

Wow!! You solved my ongoing mystery!! I didn't connect the two together, Hi speed shooting with slog2 killed my shadows and I couldn't figure out whats wrong with my exposure instead!! Oh gosh! Thank you so much for explaining that!

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Yes! Glad I could help 💪🏻

[@amuseworkshop8883]

I think a great tip also, is tricking the camera into staying in +2.0 exposure. When you manually set your ISO while in S-LOG, Sony automatically sets exposure. When you set ISO to auto, you can manually set your exposure. So for clean footage, manually set your minimum ISO and maximum ISO (under auto) to the same number. For example -- I set my minimum to 800 and maximum to 800. This way I can set exposure to +2.0 (without it ever changing) and the ISO will sit still at 800.Thanks for the video, great tips. Good luck everyone!

[@JonnyDeeFilms]

amuse|workshop, doesn’t the S-log automatically bump your ISO to 1600?

[@amuseworkshop8883]

on some Sony cameras yes. Some are able to bump up it only to 800 for a slightly cleaner s-log image.

[@AvengerIl]

but +2 exposure is not enough sometimes, as he says don't trust your exposure meter. if you look at the histogram i think this is true... seems manual exposure is the only way to do it right..

[@bananabear009]

Very good video explaining the topic. Too many KZbinr talk about log files assuming viewer already have some understanding on that. I am a photographer who’s starting to do some video shooting. And my knowledge on log files has been like bits and pieces with a lot other information sources. Your explanation is so much better than a lot of other similar videos! Bravo.

[@CommunicationsPC]

Great video Harv! Learned a lot, as usual ! Would love to see how you use curves.

[@apagnawen950]

Awesome Video!! i would like to see how you use curves . thank you

[@AngryBroccoliRecipesVegan]

Great info! I just got Sony a7 III yesterday and I'm very excited to try and shoot in SLog now. Glad I found your channel!

[@EquestrianSport]

Harv, you are the man. You have made the best explanation EVER for these settings in the Sony. I have a big job in a few days and have been wresting mentally if I should use log or not, or just use nothing. And the 120 fps examples really nailed it. Thanks a million and I'm looking forward to watching all of your other vids. Cheers from Florida!!

[@raakgu]

Amazing video! Filled in some crucial gaps in the why and how of LOG footage for me. Thanks so much! Subscribed.

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@TheBoatHeng]

Wow the color in this video is very beautiful

[@ARickyRodriguez]

Awesome Video Thank You, Yes a video on how you use curve will be great. I always run into trouble when shooting and grading Slog footage, and you did explain it really well, Thank You.

[@AakashKale27]

Your audio quality is just amazing.

[@rallyrats]

Super informative since I just switched from a Canon to Sony. Thanks man!

[@ProcessingRAWfoto]

Always top content dude. I'm learning a lot with u. Keep with it

[@LukeBernardi]

the rec 709 tip is so good

[@theverticalguys7407]

Would really like to see how you manipulate your curves for slog. Thanks for your hard work and sharing all of your work.

[@philatkinson8051]

I'm looking at buying a Sony AX700 and this video has been really useful thanks. Also love that it is a negativity free zone, wish more places were, both on the web and in the real world.

[@brittanyweijers]

Thx for this video. First time this year shooting with an FS5 and S-log. I always shoot with Varicam camera's with V-log. Or shoulder type Sony XDcam camera's. This helped out me out so much. Didn't really know anything about S-log till now. Thx again.

[@JMLRecording]

negativity free zone! !!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS GUY. Take note humans.

[@hav6301]

amazing and super helpful video! I realized not long ago that curves was the way to go when you wanna add contrast, indeed results in a richer sort of contrast. Would love to see that video on curves!

[@c.h.simpson]

Yes 👏🏼 would love to see how you use curves in Final Cut

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Linked in the description 👍🏻 it’s a belter 😄

[@philphoto6299]

"(look at the difference between the different schemes on this lovely color river scene, 4 types side by side)" Looks about the same to me. "(right side of this face portrait is SO much more 3 dimentional and better)" Looks about the same to me. Some times I prefer how the left side looks though :D (edit: fyi I'm watching this on a laptop 1080p HD, not a cellphone or something dumb) I appreciate you taking the time to explain this stuff though. Good knowlege to have, man !

[@patrikivacic3816]

I agree

[@gyamtsoprod2245]

I watched this video almost four times and I still make some mistakes... Thanks for your help 👍

[@huntstyle]

Hmm, I shoot in 120fps a lot, and had lots of trouble with the grade in my most recent video project. Good to know, I'll just use the standard profile from now on!

[@Hi_RezMedia]

Want to see how you used curves!

[@MikeRivkees]

Whatsup man! Took your advice and tested Cine 4//120fps low light on the a7iii. Very pleased!

[@markromero7874]

Thanks for the good video, Harv. Just a quick note to anyone that if you use resolve you MIGHT want to use Resolves Color Management tool instead of LUTs. Avery Peck has a good video on the Resolve Color Management and SLOG and highly recommend it to anyone shooting in SLOG and using resolve.

[@charlesbcraig]

Just watched Avery's video on that the other day. Just throwing a LUT onto S-LOG without Rec.709 conversion doesn't seem like a great idea, after watching Avery's video.

[@NarekAvetisyan]

Wow! Now I understand why people complain about Slog3 being too noisy. They just don't know how to expose it correctly. Thanks a lot :)

[@calebkthomas3086]

I love these videos! Great information! Please show how you personally use curves!

[@gamepat9]

Thank you so much. This is exactly the information I was looking for for days! Just as a sidenote...Maybe I didn’t quite get what you were talking about, but when you say „aliasing“ I think you mean banding or artefacting. Aliasing is a stairs-effect along edges caused by low resolution

[@guaranygabriel4459]

Great class, thanks a lot

[@DaveyWoodford]

Curves Video 4 sure Please Harv

[@OrangeShots]

Very nicely explained. Love it.

[@_BrianFitz]

Thanks for providing great information

Been struggling to understand everything with my A7Sii and all its quirks and features, this was a great video, subbed!

[@ilaiyafanclub354]

Good job

[@emmanuelmoran]

Thanks for the great tips! Would love to see your curve workflows. The high frame rate tips is spot on, so much aliasing with the Sony high FPS!

[@Zshakira]

SLog, SGamut, and Luts are all foreign language to me. 😩 I can’t wait till it all makes sense as I learn it. My KZbin videos are gonna be POPPIN!! Your monologue shot looks SO GOOD! 👌🏽Can’t wait to master my Sony Alpha S ii. I want all my videos to look like this!

[@zakkforchilli]

Dude thank you so much. I just started using the a7iii like 4 days ago, did my own little comparison, and with indoor light and colors, S-LOG 3 outperformed S-LOG 2 and HLG IMO by FAR. Outside though was a different story and I didn't have the best of luck, but i will use the info i have now and continue getting it right. Thanks again!

[@zephyr_creative_studios]

i’ve literally just ordered the a7iii today. did you say you can use slog 3 with it?

[@bertsavard7866]

Thanks Harv!! Love your "to the point" style!!...subscribing now...

[@simonfavorito4266]

I found this video extremely helpful. Thanks Mate!

[@RealRaynedance]

I've found that following the meter and overexposing my Cine2 profile by 1/2 to 2/3 of a stop gives me a near perfect (for me) SLOG2 exposure when I switch profiles. May not help everyone, but I think it's worth a shot if you have to shoot by eye like I do, even if you shoot 8-bit. (I use an A7III, so I'm stuck with that.)

[@norgerichard]

Thank you for this knowledge

[@Andreas_Reuter]

Excellent content as always - and far beyond the plain vanilla stuff... I enjoyed it a lot 🔥💯🎥 A curves video would be very interesting too!

[@jhundechavez6132]

Thank you for the tips sir.

[@maxwell250]

Really informative video on SLOG! Any chance you have tried the HLG profile yet? Could you do a video SLOG vs HLG profile?

[@niveshlallfilms]

Hey thanks for your tips. I just upgraded from Canon 70D to Sony a6500, these do help. Also your lighting setup is dope.

[@umpfdesign9468]

Great vid, well-paced and hits all the interesting points! would love to see your curves methodology.

[@Nonvido]

YES! Do a tutorial for color grading please!

[@stevenpearcephoto]

Good stuff Harv. Helpful and informative. A vid on all the customisable options within the PP setup would be wicked. Nobody seems to want to explain the options in a deep dive. EOS HD is great but who wants to read a pdf 🤷‍♂️ - thanks 💥

[@CraigRyan]

You do great work Harv. I've just now gotten hold of a a7Sii, and I'm trying not to be overwhelmed!

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Great video!! Super helpful, subbed!

[@RolandMcGruner]

I thought S-GAMUT colour space was supposed to be *transformed* into rec709 colour space. Not just boosted saturation, but actually remapped colours' hue, colour depth, and saturation in a particular way. Sort of like using a specific luma curve instead of just increasing contrast, except it's colour.

[@petrsehnal7990]

Great video, thanks a lot!

Thank you, some very good info here! And about those curves... Yes please!!

[@JonnyDeeFilms]

Great video! Yes make a FCP video showing how you tweak the curves :)

[@williamiskandardjahamata4808]

Thanks a lot harv, this information is so usefull

[@krystiannaja8675]

good way is to buy (i know its expensive)... but atomos or smallhd, put LUT there and you will see slog2, slog3 as you like.

Great tips! Going to try out the logs on my vacation. Sending some sub love from Toronto!

[@fluffyjello]

Never realized overexposing SLog3 footage is a thing, will remember to do so from now on cause my clips do look a bit dark.

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

You don’t need to so much with the a7s3 but with all other alpha bodies it’ll help 👍🏻

[@fluffyjello]

@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Will do, currently editing a video with clips off an A7R3 and an A7M3, and I really do think overexposing would really help.

[@smartbizwebmedia5922]

Would you recommend using Slog 2 or 3 for say an indoor theater music concert with medium to bright amber and colored stage lighting? If not, which profile would be better?

[@gusrodriz]

Thanks for the video Harv, can you do one for how to use curve in FCP.

[@CAGLARCALIFilms]

Thank you so much, you inspired me a lot! :)
