Which Picture Profile Do I Use... and WHY!?

[@geraldundone]

Thanks for sharing my stuff, you sexy beast. 😜🙏

[@dunnadidit]

@Gerald Undone - Thanks for digging into the deep stuff you beautiful giant 😘

[@Fredb]

Always interesting, no useless blablabla, : to the point, instructive, clear and easily understandable, I love your content.

[@HeyThisIsAndrew]

@@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!

[@specialized41]

What monitor you recommend for Video editing.?? Thanks!!

[@captaincarl1603]

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.

[@AttilaHanak]

Maaan.. about 947 previous KZbin 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

[@olegvorkunov5400]

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!

[@mixtape5143]

Absolutely the best description I’ve watched on this topic, thank you! Cheers

[@dunnadidit]

Glad to hear it!!

[@thedaffyduck]

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!

[@TailoredTechnique]

I agree!

[@benvanmassenhove]

I agree!

[@michaelblaze4711]

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 👌

[@dunnadidit]

I really appreciate that Michael! Thanks for letting me know!

[@OsloobModern]

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! 🙂

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much!

[@troybjorklund]

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.

[@FinalDriveshow]

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.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much!

[@tomfirmin3132]

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!

[@DrWasim]

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.

[@chtdkmn]

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.

[@isaquemoresco]

That coffee analogy though

[@dunnadidit]

Haha glad you like that.

[@FernandoCampoi]

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.

[@gregbenson8050]

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!

[@dunnadidit]

I’ve been shooting standard more often lately too! It’s quite handy when you need it!

[@AuthenticFellow]

Hi there. When you say standard, do you mean no Picture Profile? I have just switched to Sony and there are so many Profiles! :)

[@VSims]

Best explanation about picture profiles that I’ve seen.

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

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!

[@Eazoon]

okay but now can you explain coffee profiles please

[@dunnadidit]

Haha you might need to turn to James Hoffman for that

[@louiewishingtin578]

Thanks! But can you go over your detailed settings for each picture profile on the A7 III?

[@justinsphotographyrochestermn]

Great explanation! Helps me decide between the A6300 and A6100. A6300 it is :)

[@jf4259]

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.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely consider it!

[@hasenmyer]

The #1 reason I don't use a "log" profile is that I suck at color correcting.

[@dunnadidit]

Well there you go! The important thing is that you use what works best for you!

[@AurelianIrimia]

Thank you Dunna for this video! I think the HLG3 is the best option.

[@dunnadidit]

Nice!

[@MathiasMedina]

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.

[@dunnadidit]

Boom!

[@MultiBeatX]

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!🙏🏼

[@carolkchang8]

Hi, can I use picture profile settings for video vlogs?! I don’t record in manual since I do vlogs. So I will like to know if I can still use picture profile? Thank you

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah you can, you just need to know how you need to expose different picture profiles and set your auto modes accordingly.

[@Bobisnotcool]

Here’s a better example, shooting in a picture profile is like taking a RAW photo. You get much more control when editing. If you don’t like editing, go ahead and just take JPEG photos. Don’t forget to turn on Auto too.

[@alhanbhandari3352]

When Did You Switch to Davinci Resolve And Could you make a video on the issues faced while Switching from Premier to Resolve

[@dunnadidit]

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.

[@TidesOnEarth]

Dunna Did It yeah, I’d love a video on what programs you recommend... especially on a budget!

[@regenytarmovies]

Slog on Sony ZV-1 require high ISO. I can't reduce it to less than 1000.

[@dunnadidit]

That’s called base iso. Different cameras and different picture profiles have different settings for that

[@ExploringtheWorld]

Perfectly explained! Well done! Thank you very much

Picture profile is not only flat profile like S-Log. There are many other picture profiles and they don't need editing at all.

Jumping the gun perhaps, but looking forward to thoughts on profiles on the A7S III with the new color science.

Good idea! I’ll probably shoot a lot of SLOG3 with the 10bit

[@aizhanvideo]

So helpful video, thank you so much!!! 🌷🌷🌷

[@JaimeGFX]

Oh wow i didnt know there were profiles out there that were better then the internal log profiles. I just assumed the internal log was the all around better option. Thanks for the info time ro go test profiles now 😂

[@dunnadidit]

Haha all the profiles I used are internal profiles. But it’s not so much about better or worse... it’s about better or worse FOR THE SITUATION. But I do suggest going and testing them all out to see what you like best!

[@LetsGoBJONES]

Thanks! Really needed this video!!

[@dunnadidit]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LetsGoBJONES]

@@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

[@jackwalton6657]

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

[@dunnadidit]

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

[@jackwalton6657]

@@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?

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah that’s a tough one, sounds like you’re doing all the right stuff. Unfortunately, grain is just part of the package sometimes.

[@DRPREMIUMTV]

Which would you recommend for night time on a A7iii

[@xlzlxlx4074]

Let me sum this up for everyone, u can say picture profile is a type of RAW video ( not a actual raw video ) and no picture profile is like jpeg

[@lemon58421]

I use only HLG2 / Rec 709 and I am very happy with the result! :-)

Nice! I’ve played back and forth between bt2020 and rec709. What made you go rec709?

[@lemon58421]

@@dunnadidit i found this info on the youtube Chanel of Gerald Undone but not sure anymore but somewere on the net :-) I think it was better if you grade with the APP Filmconvert . Yes if you use it with with filmconvert better to put on REC709 ...What do you think?

[@dunnadidit]

I need to do a bit more research but my understanding is that bt2020 has a bit wider color options so I felt like I was getting a bit more out of it but I don’t know that it really makes a huge difference. Mostly I use it because I use specific correction luts designed to use the bt2020 option.

Shooting raw for stills is better. More information. And picture profiles only burn into jpg’s for a7ii id go with cine2 for video
