GoPro Hero 12 BEST VIDEO SETTINGS and Beginner Setup Guide

[@Mcgeee]

UPDATE - After using the Hero 12 for a month now - I would recommend using HDR over LOG in most situations. The LOG files can be a bit tricky to work with - and I've found the HDR delivers similar if not better dynamic range. If future updates change this I'll definitely make an updated video 🤘🏽

[@octny]

yes but is there an HDR 8:7 or 4:3 @4k60fps or 5k60fps?

[@brandone7235]

@@octny Log 8:7 5.3k only gives you an option now of 24 or 25 frame rate

[@PhotoStory.]

Log is for people who wanna do post production

[@emmans05]

For a past 10 meter dive, should I use LOG or HDR? I want to have a better color with the fishes and corals.

[@Mcgeee]

@@emmans05 I’d just go standard and shoot on normal color

I've upgraded from the Hero 8 mainly for the extended battery life ! THANKS for this tutorial !

[@cowleycontentlab]

Thanks buddy. Just got my GoPro 12 today. This was helpful.

[@PHChannel57]

Top i have since 3 days and stil tasting its wonderful GoPro 12 , thanks for your settings , top

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

This was super helpful. Just bought one today! Thanks!

Utmost love to penguin at the end ❤

[@PakmanR3]

Good stuff man, this will be my 3rd go pro. Had 1, 7 and now 12. They have come a long way in quality but overall the same thing. The reason why I’m buying the 12 now is because of the Bluetooth mic option. It’s a huge plus over wired mic in my use case.

[@efraindelgado5594]

From a beginner using GoPro 12... Thank you very much for this video. Very informative and I learned a lot from it.

[@wandastokes9891]

I haven't purchased my Go pro12 yet, when i do I'm going back to re-view this video thanks 💕

[@elliottmholt]

Thanks! Most helpful video I've found and you're clearly very knowledgeable with Cameras and editing. It may aswell be double dutch to me 🤣 I've purchased the camera for social media, followed your settings, wifh the exception of ratio - gone with 9:16 as I'm led to believe that's best - with zero cropping required. Thanks again, Danny.

[@RGMGFitness]

Great job on the video Danny. Just a heads up on one thing. You can leave HYPERSMOOTH "ON" or "OFF" (it doesn't matter) for the following camera models. I tested this myself and it's also listed on the GoPro Player website. Makes it easier to not have to think about this stuff sometimes; :) - Cameras with all video modes supported (including HyperSmooth): HERO12, HERO11, HERO11 Mini, HERO10, HERO9, HERO8. - Cameras with limited video modes supported (videos are supported if EIS and HyperSmooth is OFF during capture): HERO7, HERO6, HERO2018, HERO5 Session, HERO5.

[@anacarolina-eli]

This is really helpful for a new gopro user. I'm going to try it out tomorrow 🎉

[@travelwithbunty13]

Great ❤ ! My first day with GoPro 12

[@JesVlogs17]

Thanks a lot bro, it would be great to show a few sample video pro vs the auto 🎉

[@herewegooo]

Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to experiment on our vids...

[@hitmakerzmedia]

Taking mine out for some FPV runs this weekend!! 🔥🔥

[@Mcgeee]

Have fun!

[@TroutDirty]

As someone that’s learning KZbin and GoPro right now, this is one of the best how-to’s I’ve seen 😎👍 Have you experimented with any thumbnails including your face? When I went to search and watch this again, the one visual I remembered was with you and your hat, so was flipping through thumbs looking for you. It’s all good though man! Thanks!

[@Adel_Shoual]

Thank you bro easy settings with you 🇩🇿♥️👌😌

[@mriatravel]

I always take video in linear mode and DLog. It's specially good in low light condition and in the night. Of course, it's far from phone quality, but it's brighter than in hdr and normal

[@efraindelgado5594]

Danny thank you for this video, it was very helpful for a first time GoPro user.

[@gaborkristof240]

You should make a video how to watch your GoPro 5.3 or 4K videos in 4K or 5.3 on your large screen in the same quality you recorded them assuming of course your big screen is capable of either 4K or higher for the 5.3k like my Sony is an 8k! Thank you! Gabor

[@Mr.Altavoz]

Great lesson ,thanks

[@HythamTamer]

Best my face settings

[@TomHerriman]

Nice walk through Danny. I'm glad you mentioned the ISO limit when shooting in log. I've heard a few people say that GoPro does not do well at higher ISO. In your experience, is the grain and noise bad when you get above 400?

[@HandsONreviews4u]

I still have the hero 5 and I still dont know everything. Sometimes when there are SO MANY FEATURES on a camera it can become OVERWHELMING to a NEW customer, even intimidating. I know I am not the only one who wonders why they need all those features? Which is why i will stay with my Hero 5 and Hero 360 camera😊

[@mizravenkustoms]

[@DroneFate]

Thank you Danny! It’d be sick if there was an option of 48 fps to play at normal speed & even slow down if needed on a 24 timeline. Also do you set min & max iso at 100?

[@AGag47]

Video softwares like Movavi won't play 10 bit video, works fine at 8 bit.

[@PoisonedStudios]

I’m my go hero 12 doesn’t offer a 8bit + 10bit setting I’m forced to pick one or the other and I just updated my go pro I also can’t change EV comp

[@akanguven114]

Thank you! Also, what is the go pro hero 12 advertisement background music anyone?

[@marianafragoso7989]

Hi! Do you know what are the best settings for underwater video recording?

[@justin555666]

Great video! This is a matter of opinion, but I prefer to lock my ISO by setting the min and max, usually at 100 unless I need more exposure. How do other people feel about that?

[@bramst.peters8898]

Mine has a lot of noise when above 400

[@justin555666]

@@bramst.peters8898 Yeah that's pretty typical of GoPros or really any camera with a small sensor.

Thanks for this tutorial, most helpful, can I ask, can you use DaVinci Resolve to post edit gopro in the same way I can with my Canon C100 mkii?

[@2424rocket]

I’m hitting the like button as requested only because you were so corny with the bit about the penguin… If you made it a cat, I would’ve also subscribed. But all kidding aside… Nice job. As I’m waiting for my Sony a7S4 to someday come out… I’m going to buy a GoPro to hold me over. Your statement about the L or the L plus was a little confusing… Run that by me again. And thanks.

Just subscribe thanks buddy God bless

[@Elevated805]

What settings do I use to film for social media? My videos don’t take the whole screen, they are small on instagram.

[@bxg0007]

I recorded it using a chest mount on motor bike . And it was my first time . I used 8 bit, 4K 60 fps wide for 16 minutes but I found that the camera was way too hot to even touch ?? Is it normal?

[@mohammedalthani2917]

Hello my friend! Im One of your subscribers and i always refer your videos to my friends who are interested in Gopro cameras ! So yesterday I used this edit for a motorbike ride and I had some issues that im sure its from my side though At day time, the video was so bright and I couldn’t capture much details Night time, the video was with too much noise ! Could you please advise me on that please? Thanks in advance mate !

[@KadensFishingAdventures]

Quick question which micro sd card would you recommend to use for the best quality etc, as my GoPro is using for fishing videos and would like them to have top video quality

[@rlo5755]

Hey I just received my go pro 12 . And the lenses upgrade . I have a trip coming up . I have never used a go pro before . Are the settings you stated in the beginning of this video good for a novice like me going on a snorkeling adventure . And a zip line adventure. I want to to make some good videos . But not sure what settings will be good for me . And I have never edited any videos either . Thanks

[@rosscamara9396]

Danny are you related to Mcgee Brothers in Santa Clarita?

[@danilo2567]

Can one film in 8:7 with Max lens mod or just 4:3? 4k 60 8x7 with huge wide angle would be killer.

What are fpv’s ?

[@julianraphael4465]

If I do the settings like you say, the 4k and 5k videos are just black after i send it to my phone. Only 1k works?

[@Bogie770]

why my frame rate on my go pro 12 is lower they on your video at the same rezolution for ex : on standard 2.7k frame rate is 200 and on 5.3k i have 200 fps is someting that i miss?

[@matthewclarke2466]

For the Pro Settings, which choice (Hypersmooth Off/On) should I use if I have the GoPro12 attached to a Gimbal? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

[@MartinBradyRallyCoDriver]

Got a hero 12 and so disappointed it has no gps 😢

[@williamericwakeman1234]

Can you go over go HDR video quality? Is is worth it over GP log

[@1999maio]

Raw video with my 12 looks exactly the same, no matter 1080P, 4k or 5k....using VLC media.... My GoPro8 puts out better 1080P raw video than 12's 4k.... where am I going wrong? PC is fairly new gaming system that works well with my old Gopro...

anyone on here know how to overlay garmin cycling stats over gopro videos? seems really easy with insta360, but i would prefer to buy a gopro

I bought this for new Hero12 but the microphone still picks up too much ambient sound. How do I adjust the mic sensitivity? GoPro Media Mod (HERO11 Black/HERO10 Black/HERO9 Black) - Official GoPro Accessory Yes, it works with the HERO12 Black.

[@RedondoBeach2]

Do the pro settings selected in this video cause the camera to overheat? If not, what exactly does cause the overheat condition that so many others mention as a problem with this camera?

[@TrevorDennis100]

I am just learning the camera, but I think it is the batteries that over heat. If you have a spare battery, you can swap it out and keep on recording.
