Creating an Amazing GoPro Shot: A Photoshop Tutorial and Workflow

[@timoconnor8846]

Love your videos, Rob! I'm the videographer and Graphic designer for Airhead Watersports so this is a big help!

[@tekarts]

Where do I find the hairy legs filter in Photoshop?

[@babybrazaa]

do you shave your legs with your mamas razor?

[@tekarts]

No my mama shaves 'em!

[@koreyb9433]

tekarts lol

[@joijoi617]

Looking through the comments everyone is just blasting their negative opinions on your photo.. like clearly your teaching, how to use the tools. I really like this, it helps learn the tools, and the picture is cool too. It’s about what you like and in doing that you really schooled viewers on how to utilize the editing tools.

[@robnelsonfilms]

Thanks Joi... appreciate that perspective. That's kinda what I was going for. - R

[@ivonned32]

Great angle and what a lovely way to involve your boy in this shot. Well done!

[@robnelsonfilms]

Thanks Clara!

[@montsergirl]

seriously!!!! Insane. I just got my hero 5 but man there is no way I can do this but I will try but fail so bad. This is a great tutorial!!!

[@RoadRunner27]

absolutely unreal content mate ! and no skipping anything, the step by step part is phenomenal!

[@robnelsonfilms]

RoadRunner ;)

[@canucktrky6645]

Really cool use of the GoPro!

[@robnelsonfilms]

:) Thanks

[@copordrop]

I really dig the tutorial! :) I think the yellow of the sky is a bit too much though, @ 9:30 if you kept it as that and added contrast it would've suited the picture better I feel. Anyways just giving my 2 cents lol

[@TheOther9519]

fantastic Tutorial mate! Always preferred LR to PS, think I can handle PS better now! cheers

[@NeilsIn]

It's fun to watch another person's technique on how I'd do something. Obviously, your videos are very well done and concise! I would have mentioned the Quick Selection Tool and the Refine Edges for the mask, (for people without stylus/tablets) but like you said there's no one way to execute a similar effect. :) Keep the videos coming, I enjoy watching them when I can!

[@robnelsonfilms]

Nice - I think I should discuss masking a bit more in the future. I'll have to do a bit of research on that one first though. Thanks Neil. Hope Spain is AWESOME!

[@MrBooojangles]

Very interesting, thank you, just what I needed to know. I guess this can be done on the free editing software like Gimp, etc and others like Cyberlink photodirector.

[@Johnwick-07]

I'm really enjoying your channel. Thanks!

[@ferska810]

amazing post production on photoshop! nice done it

[@georgschierbeck3759]

Wow, bit heavy on the clarity?? Also, the clouds looks horrible..

[@joonhwy]

you're an inspiration honestly

[@Jake_Towne]

This was so awesome!! thank you for showing this!!!!

[@Caitlin698]

I'm *hopefully* swimming with dolphins in the wild on Tuesday, and have never used a Gopro before this trip. I've been watching a lot of your videos in preparation, and they are awesome! I'm curious to know if you have any tips and tricks for photos or videos that are completely underwater-- I loved your half-in-half-out video!

[@GillyBoy]

Thank you very much for this handfull tutorial!

[@romiliovalenzuela9976]

GillyBoy ;;;

[@m_acsp]

Amazing and inspiring. Thank You!

[@halationmedia]

Love your studio! So jealous!

[@ThexAlien]

I like the photo, but personally I wouldn't have blown out the sky/clouds that much. Everyone has their own style, just my personal preference! Great video!

[@louiithecat]

you're a great teacher, thank you for the vid!

[@riolitasavella5601]

Great job rob! Btw,what kind of editing application are you using??

[@AFFINITYLEGEND3]

Hi Rob. I've enjoyed your tutorials, they've been a great inspiration and refresher many times. I'm wondering if you can help my grade 6/7 class with finding introductory free software for photo and video editing. I've looked online but it's challenging to find the right software that help them learn skills and grow with in the future. If you have any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. I'm planning on using a few of your tutorials to aid in teaching them how to make awesome pictures and to make a mini science documentary.

[@robnelsonfilms]

Well, it does depend a bit on what they are doing. GoPro has free editing software. It's not bad. iMovie also works great! The next step up really is Final Cut Pro X - it's only 300 dollars. I think you can install it on up to 5 computers. That's not bad. To be honest, I'm not sure about photo editing software that's free but Adobe had a subscription service now. You could get lightroom and photoshop on a handful of computers for 10 bucks a month. Hope that helped. :)

[@jianchao88]

Thanks for the tutorial !

[@rufinaroyster20]

Awesome video! It taught me a lot!!

[@taylorsyme2118]

Loved the video - I was wondering where you get a tablet to edit photos like you did - thanks

[@robnelsonfilms]

Amazon or best buy are good places (in the US that is). amzn.to/2fUpsDP

[@deniskrastic]

Hey Rob! Love your channel. I have a GoPro which I use to get footage of my clients in the our fitness facility. I used your idea to film with photos taken every 5 seconds but the problem was that the majority of photos taken couldn't be used because they were all "fuzzy" because I was walking with the GoPro as the photos were being taken. I was hoping to get at least some photos that were a sharp as the photo used in your example. With your photo was there any dampers put underneath the mount in order to achieve that sharp photo? I'm at a loss. I was using one of those selfie stick type mounts. Excellent channel. Keep up the great work! Cheers Denis

[@robnelsonfilms]

Nope. The key is that the sun was very bright and thus, the shutter speed on the gopro was very fast. When you're inside (guessing), it's almost impossible to get a shot that's not blurry, unless you craft it so that people are moving very little. Does that make sense?

[@deniskrastic]

Absolutely! That does make sense. Thanks for your quick response. I'll give that a go and see how I go.

[@pedrohenriquetadradirene2082]

Did you use time lapsing photo or time lapsing video? Which are better to use and which time? 0,5s, 1s or 2s? Because when I use the time lapsing photo, most of the photo become blurry.

[@SaVaGe24LoL]

Good video man...I just have one problem with my gopro...any tips to not get water drops on the lens?? i heard its good to lick the camera case on the lens part so the drops fall easily but ii dont really know if that works

[@cgstone30]

Once again u read my mind! 🙏🏼

[@robnelsonfilms]

:)

[@The_Northerner]

Awesome video and great tutorial! Personally I find that picture looks way too edited, but it is cool nonetheless.

[@robnelsonfilms]

Yeah, you 're right. I probably took this one too far.

[@skipad4306]

Rob & Jonas' Filmmaking Tips big like for the shots post proccess. i wish there were only LR . i know it could have been the same with only LR.

[@janklaassen6404]

I agree, the sky looks too fake. I have never seen that shade of yellow in a sky. Unless you are going for a post apocalyptic that's raining nuclear fallout.

[@quickadobetutorials9304]

I posted a lightroom pack video for gopro shots on my channel! I'd appreciate if you checked it out and I hope you find it useful!

[@cassthomaa7039]

malkova doggie w Asian

[@odlanorirom]

what is the setting of the gopro when you took these action shots?

[@jeromeurbain1978]

Really interesting content. Thank you man!

[@JoeSmith-uz8mu]

great tutorial thanks man

[@hughjanus7029]

What are the best free programs for doing things like this video shows? I don't have the money for a full software suite right now and am wondering what is the best?

[@theambientmassage]

here comes a thumbs up and a subscribe. Thanks for this great tutorial.

[@esnoel32]

nice video...what camera are you using to film yourself for this tutorial? Is very nice and clear.

[@robnelsonfilms]

I'm actually using a 1DX Mark II. I wouldn't need that to get this effect, but that's what I have lying around. It is a nice camera. :)

[@rizwanislam4951]

Great work

[@victorperezasuaje255]

Hi! Which camera do u use for taking your videos? (to yourself I mean xD) Thanks a lot and awesome postpro :D

[@puttapornkhankaew4526]

I can not find the Camera Raw on Filter bar, do you know how can I find it, I use GoPro 5 and CS6

[@gissibelmar]

Best tut ever

[@robnelsonfilms]

Thanks!

[@alihassoun10]

great job! thank you! keep it up !

[@zubairzahid4147]

I was really really helpful and very easy for me, I'm gonna try this... thank you for being awesome.(y)

[@bentrance96]

Is that Cintiq you are using?

[@stankmt5016]

What are some pros and cons of photoshop and lightroom for post-processing photos like these?

[@robnelsonfilms]

Lightroom is quicker and easier. Photoshop allows you to do more photo-manipulation - like removing artifacts, adding extra images, masking, etc.

[@stankmt5016]

Thank you for replying!

[@Haushinko]

You use protunne settings in your photos ? Nice video by the way :D

[@robnelsonfilms]

Yep. Always protune ... it just gives me more control.

[@Haushinko]

You use native and flat color ?

[@robnelsonfilms]

Having talked with GoPro extensively about this, I now shoot in GoPro color. The production staff at gopro have found that the gopro color setting does just about as good as you could ever reproduce with Flat coloring. Thus, if you're not a colorist, you're way better off shooting in GoPro color.

[@Haushinko]

Because everybody says, take whith flat is better to post editting ! sorry for my bad english!!

[@robnelsonfilms]

Well, that's easy to say. People love to say it's better to shoot flat. But, most of the time, I bet you'd have a really hard time recreating the standard gopro color... unless you're really good at coloring your video in post. Experiment though. Let me know what you find out! That's just my experience AND that advice comes straight from the gopro colorists.

[@cityriderin]

very nice. hope it gives me better output with raw

[@nadiahfaisal3489]

hi! how do you get videos and timelapse shot at the same time?

[@Dhan911]

How did you shoot this? Burst or timelapse?

[@jithinjayachandranpk]

great colour balance ...

[@jose88eric]

what kind of Mic are you using there?

[@mylahsuplig6938]

Amazing 😍😍😍

[@hughjass3011]

what tablet setup do you have?

[@trungbatigol]

hey bro, what's camera you used to record this video? thanks

[@Stefcio-zg2dz]

Question from a newbie: how long did it take u to master photoshop and how long does it take u to edit ur pictures now?

[@queenrao17]

Stefcio.TV Depends on how much you use it. 6 months are enough...

[@samuelruben8726]

Can you tell me whats the setting you use ?

[@KEEVVY]

Nice video, this just made me rethinking of reinstalling photoshop

[@rodrigonadero]

What camera did you use to record this video?

[@claudioaccr]

Amazing.

[@djchriscooley]

To all the critics, create your own tutorial. Nobody asked you, we're asking him, that's why we are here.

[@nohaynombres2]

[@spakeschannel]

Nice shot, but how to get rid of yellow clouds? Imo, White ones look a lot better.

[@Digital_Alex]

[@BgJimy]

[@chubu09]

[@waldemarrrrr]

Am I able to do this with Sony Vegas or Canon digital pfoto Professional?

[@waldemarrrrr]

[@jakesummers6697]

does anyone know which tablet he was using?

[@MattiasVerduijn]

Are there masks in Lightroom too? I'm a bit new to it

[@robnelsonfilms]

They are called adjustment brushes. Short answers - yes, kind of. They work in a similar way but are a little less complex.

[@FTBLETSAS]

This is great!! thank you very much!

[@ugackv]

Thanks man! :)

[@davitnebieridze2928]
