New video: how to shoot 10-bit log on a smartphone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3bIlYyfqdeGn9k

[@AndyDry01]

Finally "Log" explained perfectly!!! Been trying to wrap my head around how to film log on my phone. Awesome videos as always... thanks Simon 👍🏻

[@djin812]

Just started this hobby again after 5yrs. I've been learning so much from your channel the past week. Thank you, excellent channel.

[@MrChiprocks1]

I literally JUST sent mcpro24fps a note 20 minutes ago, asking them to explain the In's and Out's about Color Profiles in their recent update. You Sir, just answered my question. Thank you. Dropped BigLike#24.

[@TaylorSoloaiJR]

This helps, I mostly use my smartphone to record my KZbin videos and this has corrected some mistakes I made. You got a new subscriber!

[@chadreed8032]

New sub. I have been trying to figure out the relationship between the log feature, codec, and what application will make use of it for a few days, on and off. This video just filled in all the gaps. Thank you.

[@austinadams2820]

Brilliant - an excellent explanation of how the various pull possibilities work. I was grateful too for the explanation of the A and B for white balance. I’ve been wondering what they were all about and wondering how to fix my white balance. Thank you

[@namucase93]

I needed this info information so much. Clear, simple and straight information. Thanks for the awesome video Mr.Simon.

[@christopherecatalano]

Excellent demo. Most of this comes down to considered choices, and each shoot underlined with as informed a set of decisions as possible without forgetting the main event: getting well composed footage under any and all (including lousy/adversarial) lighting conditions. LumaFusion is such a creative mobile editing platform, I sometimes forget that it has a number of excellent bread and butter video treatment processes available. Thank you!

[@jimprior180762]

Terrific, a whole new topic (grading in post) opened up to me and explained brilliantly. Thanks Simon. And also yet another plus for me using Mcpro24fps rather than Filmic (being an Android guy).

[@soundofmusic0613]

This is so helpful tutorial. Now, everything makes sense to me about log profiles. Thanks!

[@derrickdu]

Wow, I didn’t understand everything you said but this is the best video that explains video grading. Thank you so much. Outstanding job!!!

[@MrNothing12332]

Which log option in best for closeup shots.&wide shot

[@gastelumproductions]

Hello, Simon! Thanks for this video! Lots of advice that I will for sure use in my next production. I have one question though. If I am planning to use a black & white LUT and then grade it a little more with the help of Filmconvert, would you recommend that I shoot in Flat or LogV2? It's going to be in a roof, so probably sunny or a slight chance that it might be cloudy. I own an iPhone 11 Pro Max and Filmic Pro Legacy. Thanks!

[@daytripper75]

Hello Simon, great tutorial 2 years later I have a question. :) In the Open Camera App I see a list of Log - picture profiles. Do you have a video explaining these in more detail? Thanks

[@_4rch13]

YOU ARE NOW MY TEACHER 👍

[@Nomadicaffan]

There are many silent followers too like me :). By the way, he is the great choice

[@arbabraiyan8200]

please make a detailed video specifically on using the log profile, the 0, 128 and 255 values on the histogram, how to set what

[@tamerlanosgeorge]

fantastic video thank you we learn so much how we can edit this logs on android platform luma fusion is only available for ios; make a video for android users

[@GKDEntrenador]

Hi.... you have an amazing information about Filmic Pro... and I am wondering if you could answer two questions about it... I downloaded it to my iphone X... also downloaded the cinematographic add on... the first question is... can I access to the 10 bit log profile or I just need to settle with the 8 bit depth log... and the second one is... if I download the remote control to my Samsung S8+, I could control the Iphone X or those are uncompatible... thanks a lot and have a great day...

[@RealEstatePhotographerPro]

Love your videos

[@SiHorrocks]

thank you ☺️

[@MickaLuna]

Master class

[@bereshyitbara7586]

At 1:24 of this video (accessed Dec 27, 2020), an algorithm is mentioned as a logarithm function, say, V_out = A*(V_in)^gamma, or V_out = c*log(1 + V_in). This makes FiLMiC LogV2 feed out silky-smooth color grade. This is the spell. But FiLMiC LogV2 is different from conventional 8-bit logarithm gamma encoding. I will be grateful if a reply is made sometime to show the difference in terms of algorithm and determination of parameter / constant.

[@TeachmeCaleb]

Wonderful!!!

[@austinadams2820]

Question - I film using Wireless Go as audio input to the lightning port on my iPhone 12 Pro. Can I use both the remote control start/stop gadget and Bluetooth monitoring headphones?

[@SmartphoneFilmmaker]

Very well explained! I still find LOGV2 a bit of a gamble with noise but maybe a bit more experimenting is in order.

[@SiHorrocks]

Thanks! There does seem to be more noise problem with iPhones

[@JonathanAyers]

It's still a super tiny sensor. Only so much can be done about noise on a sensor that is like 1/4" by 1/4". I feel your pain!

[@SmartphoneFilmmaker]

@@JonathanAyers Yeah it's quite frustrating. Just have to maximise what the smartphone can do and try to hide the things it can't.

[@colinscotland2887]

@@SiHorrocks is there an iPhone or Android app that can let you do film stills simulation recipes so you can set them on your phone, so when you pick up your smartphone, you can shoot Fuji Provia, Fuji Acros or Kodak Portra etc, I know about lightroom but I don't want a subscription app plus I have Fimo, I want something to customise on my phone so my phone will simulate Fujifilm colour etc

How do you transfer the video files from the Samsung to the Ipad ? As one system is Android the other IOS. Possible to make a short video demonstration. Keep up the great work.

Filmic Pro now has 10bit Log V3 on high end devices.

[@SiHorrocks]

I know. I was going to include it in this video, but I decided to make a separate video

[@SiHorrocks]

@Chris today ;)

[@Nomadicaffan]

@Chris on Iphone 12 or Iphone 12 pro max? I would like to know, Iphone 12 pro max supports 10 bit log 3 upto 60 fps or not?

[@eXtremeFidelity1]

@@Nomadicaffan hey, the iPhone 12 Pro Max in Filmic Pro can shoot 10-bit at 60fps only in 1080HD resolution. 2K and 4K at 10-bit is limited to 24, 25 and 30fps.

[@daserthepro6605]

Why I can shoot dng format on photo and not same thing with video no app can shoot with cdng format?!!

[@JosephelLeon]

Thanks thanks thanks.

[@emptyvesselsyt]

Excellent video! Can see a few comments on here complaining about a noise issue in low-light with log - I'm still on the 11 Pro Max so not on 10 bit yet but I've found the solution is to shoot on the lowest possible ISO. Obviouslt then you have to consider your lighting setup a bit more but its really helped me with noise reduction.

[@seokstudio1833]

perfect:)

[@cmjphoto]

Great video!! I’m also finding noise an issue in low light when shooting log. I’ll keep trying as it truly seems LOG is the way to go. Especially with the new logV3 just released. Will you be doing a LogV3 video? Cheers!

[@SiHorrocks]

Thanks! I think some people only use log for daylight shots. I will do a 10 bit log video soon

[@cmjphoto]

@@SiHorrocks awesome!! I look forward to it!! Merry Christmas!

[@harrycash8713]

Great video on let's and settings I think you do a lot with smartphones and I think I heard that you said you teach film do you have any videos on other cameras like GoPro black magic Sony pro Sumer or anything that's just standard video cameras?

Is there a way to record longer videos on FilmIC Pro? Every time I do, it either doesn't save and gives me an error, or saves in the FilIC roll but is unreadable by any software I can find.

[@kenzieandcurtis]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much! I have filmmaking related tutorials also. Any support would mean alot! Thanks again

[@DrBrunoDzogovic]

Doesn't work with a phone, it's not in fact a true logarithmic footage because the cameras of phones do not have the required dynamic range. You will end up overexposing highlights or underexposing shadows, plus you record in 8-bit not-RAW, disallowing for further recovery of details in the chroma/luma ratio when color grading. There's a reason why camera (sensor) size matters.

[@christopherecatalano]

Impacted by that limitation, but…use your eyes nonetheless. If the images (pre or post processed) look different, better or worse, well. It means that, effectively, they are. Choices have to be made. The phones are capable of getting good, creative footage if you know how to use them.
