Man you had me in the beginning! I was like yea I started filming and now looking at the profiles. I’m sold on the HLG3. I immediately saw that blown highlights were not blown and the shadows were now visible. Thank you for this!!!!!!!!

[@MarMcK13]

Bro, the timing of this content is perfect. I recorded in HLG3 for my last project for the reasons you highlighted here and was at a loss when attempting to import into FCP. Thanks for your insight, so appreciated.

[@TerryWarfield]

Glad I could help! that's dope to hear!

[@TechGearTalk]

That opening clip was nasty! Good tutorial! Keep up the 🔥🔥🔥

[@TerryWarfield]

Thanks bro!

[@TouristFun]

Inspired by both of you I just got my sony a6600 with 18-135mm and sigma 16mm still learning how to use well

[@dr.ijeziedesbois]

I subscribed just because you gave the link to the details I really needed. Looking forward to seeing the videos on your channel.

[@keith-knittel]

Tried all the S-Log's and cine profiles but couldn't get them to look good consistently so tried the HLGs. Ended up loving the HLG3. Use Premiere Pro to edit, and I've read it does a lot of the heavy lifting to go from HDR to SDR for you automatically - made a LUT a while ago and have used it for my videos ever since. Really happy with it so far! It's an underrated profile for sure!

[@TerryWarfield]

right!! its so good!

[@slambk]

hi Keith.. do u mind sharing your settings.. is it still the same as in the video

[@farcasiustin7803]

how do you expose for the hlg3 ,i'm just getting started and i've tried using s-log 3 and it was to much work for a begginer,but i;ve tried hlg3 and i can't get it right,i'm using zebra settings so i'm not burning the highlihts(just a bit outside) but i can't color correct it

Damn brother - after watching your video, I’m playing with my HG3 profiles now and I’m amazed just how much easy it is to work with then my log profiles. Thank you! ✌🏼♥️

Great video man! Been shooting on HLG2 ever since I got the a7iii because it performs better in low light but now I'm going to give HLG3 a try!

[@TerryWarfield]

I still think hlg2 handles low light better, and noise in general, but I still prefer hlg3

This dude is so funny with his explanations LOL subscribed !

[@MatheusVelloso]

great video!

[@kevinstarks5151]

Wonderful explanation to the nation!

[@iamcrawfy2]

Is selecting HLG3 Rec709 on camera HDR or SDR? I found HLG3 BT2020 tricky to view on different monitors (if kept as HDR project and not converted to 709) as some couldn't display it. Agree HLG3 is great, just hoping it still makes sense to use HLG3 Rec709. Great video bud

[@TerryWarfield]

Okay who #UPINHERE?? If you have a SONY CAMERA YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS ENTIRE VIDEO!!!!!! DONT FORGET TO LIKE AND COMMENT!!

[@jaspermcfly2765]

I’ve just moved to Sony from Canon and this video has been a massive help. Thank you Terry!

[@jaligoeshiking]

After I color graded my cine2 profile videos and having problems with blownout highlights, youtube recommend this video. How strange. Thank you, sir 🤣

[@NinhNguyen2]

HLG3 is really nice, that highlight roll off is quite ......nice.

[@TerryWarfield]

Yeah it's super smooth

merci beaucoup mon frère 🙏

Went to Gerald Undone video. Got lost. Came back and now I'm found lol.

[@tibbyk5888]

good explanation, thanks. 4K gives hard time to my computer so I need to use proxy. what’s the method in that case please? thanks

[@ariels3890]

#upinhere I don't mess around with video as much as I should, but this is still great information. Keep it going, my man!

[@TerryWarfield]

don't bro lol. its a never ending rabbit hole haha

[@neaumusic]

record in log, which is like PQ, apply HLG to the log curve and put it back on a PQ timeline

[@cherylwalrath-duran2996]

Thank you, Terry :)

[@TerryWarfield]

thank you!

[@matrixate]

Thanks. Similar settings for the A7Siii.

[@edwardwhite4790]

I’m out at a eye doctor appointment. I have one of those restless minds. I record in 4K mostly. I do record for some clients in 1080p. Would your settings be different for 4K footage in TCPX?

[@morganseel]

Hey Terry, love the video. I noticed the FCPX HDR Tools added an HLG to Rec. 709 SDR conversion that makes it even darker. Have you experimented with this new one yet? I've also heard going to Info Tab > Color Space Override > Rec 2020 will do the trick, but I can't decide which correction option seems to look the best and preserve the most dynamic range. Any new thoughts since this vid is from back in July 2020?

[@clevadeva]

That’s exactly how I do it.

[@antalgabor]

Great video, HDR tools is the real too to deal with HLG in a Rec709 in FCPX, you just confirmed it! 2 questions: Do you use gamma display assist when you shoot in HLG3? Do you use zebra for exposing?

[@terrytang5367]

I’m not the same Terry but I’m shooting my Sony a7iii with HLG3. I use gamma display assist and I leave it at Auto. I also use Zebra to get the right exposure especially when using for skin tone. I set it on custom 1 with ire set to 60+ and -5 and set the exposure to get the zebra on the subject’s face and then lower the ISO by 1/3 of a stop.

[@curt300s]

Nice job.

[@wadeseven5tv946]

Great clip! Sony reps. the other day mentioning PP10 and HLG2/3.

[@c4_boom41]

I played around with PP10 a bit already.. do you know what the default knee settings are for slope and point?

[@zelkuth]

Excellent examples! I do use hlg3 with my zve10 and leeming luts. In the examples u showed, did you overexpose to the right? If so, how many stops(if you remember). Because you mentioned iso 100, which is impossible for ettr 😁

[@luciddreaming3702]

hello there, what did you find about it? how many steps? o:

[@khaledsamra2500]

thanks When shooting with Slog3 Exposure +2 is recommended So what about the HLG3?

[@bigmouthmedia.melbourne]

I have the FX3 and FX6, however the FX6 only has HLG Live and Natural and less control than the FX3 for choice - any hints on what FX6 setting would match HLG3 ?

[@PictureStudiolucknow]

thanks bro

[@JohnnieVibes]

LOL @ 1:50. You nailed it.

[@one901]

I use FCPX and HLG3 as well. I used to use Leeming LUT as well. Now all I do is change the Color Space Override(the option over Camera LUT) and select 709 and it brings it back. I usually over expose HLG by 0.3-0.7

[@TerryWarfield]

Yep 💯

[@mrmeza78]

You read my mind in the beginning.

[@rickyhurtado]

Can you talk about sharpening the footage in post?

[@OsiasSpeaks]

I was wondering about that blown out highlight on the face, Ill try it out...

[@chancethegrappler1979]

Love your style bro. What do you expose HLG @? 1.0?

[@nils_ninja]

0,3-0,7

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Ok you convinced me 😌

[@thesleepione247]

my 'A6400' set up the same way exact black is at 0. Also instead of HDR tools i use colour space override but i'm trying that way next time

[@HillsofSteel]

please help me, i have a sony 6400, but i don't use edit colour when i record HLG, Can You edit a file to save LUT on Adobe, tks so !!

[@yadekeffieh8139]

Hi and thanks for your Work Hlg3/bt2020 is made to be in 10bits but your footage IS in 8bits im i wrong ?

[@pf4773]

Do you recommend any LUTs with this HLG3 pic profile? Thanks for the video. I have the sony a6600 and, new, the Sigma 16mm that I'd like to use for documentaries when I travel. I also have the sigma 30mm and a nice Sony zoom. I'm thinking of getting the weebill s and the mavic mini to round out filming capabilities but with lightweight equipment. Thanks again!!!

[@TerryWarfield]

one you have the footage converted to rec.709, you can really use any LUTS. I use my own custom LUTS which there is a link in the description, if you want to check then out

[@AndyKingCo]

What’s the best base ISO for HLG3?

[@StephenFI]

Thanks for sharing this. I have A6400 and I will try this out. So do you record your YT videos with HLG3 also?

[@TerryWarfield]

Yep. This entire video was HLG3

[@StephenFI]

TerryWarfield thank you and I will try it. If I run into problems, I’m coming to you for help. 😅Thanks a lot

[@TerryWarfield]

@@StephenFI haha fa sho bro

[@Huniii0926]

can i know the suitable exposure? 0.3 - 0.7?

[@ninavova]

AMAZING VIDEO! I pause it at some point, did a test shot and it looks so much better. My white Siberian ass needs different settings but you fix a big problem for me! btw add a timeline to video. It would be much more helpful!

[@TouristFun]

I like your direct to the point 😊 its really helpful

[@pf4773]

By the way, would you mind sharing with us your training? Did you self-teach or go through formal schooling for photography? I'm asking because I've thought about a com college class rather than spending thousands on a private school. Also, I have macbooks so final cut pro x is for me rather than adobe.

[@TerryWarfield]

self taught! You can literally learn any skill through KZbin and the internet these days haha

[@Sambo111]

Hello , i tried it with my ZV-E10 and OLED HDR Laptop. once i set the windows to "Use HDR" video become looks normal no crazy look and no need this conversion to SDR.

[@proxylab7465]

I’m REALLY trying to listen to the advice but there is this bomb synth wave track in the BG that keeps fighting for my attention.

[@chadventures2005]

Did you use filter on the opening clip??

[@ircouple4]

Second comment..lol Can you do a video on how to Basically to combine sony a7iii footage with drone footage? Using Hlg3 . if you can, Thank you.

Do you have a HLG3 ba SLog?

Terry!! Bro I can’t tell you how clutch this video was. I just picked up an a6600 and was LOST trying to figure out PP and then thinking about trying to edit. I watched a few videos and wanted to shoot in HLG3 and this answered all the questions. 🔥🙏🏼🚀
