hello sir what's going on chaal hai ok thaak hai khairit se hai you make very good video salmatic shit and i like and follow your video a lot i like your gadget very much so i don't have this gadget And I don't have money, can you gift me this gadget?....

[@judygreen3036]

I don’t really know what the styles are. I loved the movie Amadeus and The Big Lebowski and The Banshees of Inisherin, so those styles.

[@judygreen3036]

Of yours, I liked the first video best.

[@luisgarciagonzalez726]

All three sequences were great, but the last one surprised me the most: no movement or anything, but still the result was spectacular. Great job!!

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Thanks @luisgarciagonzalez726 I was also surprised by how well the last sequence turned out. It just goes to show that you don't always need to be moving your camera to capture a great edit. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@robboconnor4339]

@@LearnOnlineVideo ditto I wasn’t expecting the last one to be so effective either , loved all 3 edits , I’m going to Rome this week, gonna be trying out a lot of new techniques 👍

[@wisewarrior3937]

Loved the first the best! BTW, edited my first video recently. Did it while me and the Mrs were on vacation. Just a short 50 second clip. I’ve been watching your videos for years, and my friends and family were blown away at my first edit! Took many tips and tricks from soo many of your videos. I can see a lot of where I was not optimized and need to be better at, but it was an incredible first experience thanks to you! Thank you!

[@aklanongid8938]

I love the 2nd one/raw shot

[@physiotherapyinsider6468]

Combination of all the scenes is epic.

[@Mrpankajd7]

Love from India🇮🇳

[@Manoj-fw4bw]

From Andhrapradesh

[@ClarkeDesign]

Love the stable and classical look. Never throught of always keeping the camera stationary but filiming things that are moving.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Stable shots force you to nail your framing and composition which I why I love them! A timelapse would have been great for this sequence, but with the 10-minute time limit and no tripod, I didn't attempt it. Definitely worth noting for future shoots, though!

[@davidgc6794]

I love this channel, the way you explain, the quality, the ideas, everything! I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

[@rolo1419]

Me too I want to make videos and Use the tips from his videos

[@deborahpondermance2795]

What a great tutorial! Video (especially for travel) can really transport the viewer to a unique place and allow them to experience it virtually. I’ve spent a lot of time in Rome, and I think your edits for Trastevere and the Victor Emanuel monument each evoked the distinctive feel of the location. I don’t think the music you chose for the Vatican sequence worked as well, as it had a somewhat military vibe, and the Vatican is a world spiritual center. I think something more ethereal and emotional would have been more successful. Thank you so much for another fantastic lesson, Steve. Your content is always outstanding. 👏

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Hey Deborah, thanks for your comment and glad you enjoyed the video. I definitely see where you’re coming from with the music choice at the Vatican. A more spiritual sound would have worked really well. I might have to do another edit :-)

[@AroopBose]

Of the three the last one is my favourite. Reason: Although hand held without gimbal and stabilization, the shots were absolutely steady. Static shots have a different appeal altogether, one does not need to keep moving the camera all the time.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

You're absolutely right, @AroopBose. The static camera definitely adds a unique appeal to the shots. It's great practice to shoot without camera movement as it really makes you focus on your framing and composition techniques. There's something beautifully simplistic about shooting this way.

[@AroopBose]

@@LearnOnlineVideo 😊

[@Alfredo-kp3zb]

Hola,soy cubano,pero vivo en España,gracias a tus videos voy aprendiendo cada dia más,eres el mejo,espero algún día hacer algo parecido a lo que haces ❤

[@BobbyInBlue]

Loved all of them but I think that the first one was my favorite. Thank you for the great videos! Really appreciate you and your content.

[@edward_rivas]

That level of quality, for social media, looks very professional. Sometimes we shoot with lots of gear just to post and be eaten by compression.

[@adanam6377]

1st& last ones were epic!

[@ukwubendasvisualcortextv]

All three shots were awesome. I've learnt alot from them. But wow! The last shot and edit nailed it for me, gave it a whole different feel been able to capture the static and movements too without much of a camera movement. Thanks for the enlightenment.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Thanks, @ukwubendasvisualcortextv! Shooting static is one of the best ways to improve your films and videos, as it forces you to perfect your framing and composition. There's no escaping a poorly framed shot when the camera isn't moving. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Thanks!

[@frankygoestocanada]

Short answer to your last question: All of them! You make really good video tips. Learn a lot from them! Thanks for your great work dude! 😊

[@lynchy3562]

Loved the 2nd edit. I prefer videos with a dynamic edge to them

[@practice2025x]

2:26 That was perfect! Depends on the intended effect...It cracked me up LoL

[@daviddrew7624]

Another fantastic informative video as always 👌 all three are amazing but no3 is fantastic considering theres no camers movement 👍

Hi Steve I love your video tutorials and can’t wait the new ones to come out. In this video I like the way that you covered three different locations. I like your ideas for sound design. Thank you for your great work. Pat Hogarty from El Dorado Hills California

Sometimes simple is best :-)

[@simondamant]

Interesting all three, just goes to show a bit of imagination and a few tools you can grab amazing shots. great video as usual Steve.

[@GeoffMcDonald]

Great work Steve! All three are good. I'd put the 2nd one in front by a nose with your music choice making the difference. As you said in the video it made it different. Thanks

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Thanks, @GeoffMcDonald! It's interesting that you preferred the second edit, especially since others felt the music didn't work. It's all subjective, of course-there's no right or wrong. I'm glad you enjoyed the second edit more, as it was the riskiest in terms of music choice. I always enjoy using something unexpected that contrasts with the visuals. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it's important to experiment.

[@OussamaTebaniIdris]

best one for ever thank you for everything

How did you know I needed this..😅 Traveling to NewYork next week and I’m very excited to use these tips, thank you😊

I love this third one

[@slimnick6452]

All 3 were great, but I preferred the static and hand-held for summer vacations and family trips.

[@twobearsontour]

I use my phone and usually try for a mix of panning and photos. I like number 3 as I'd never thought of filming a photo. I think I'll try it.

wow this is really what i would like to do, just add a story to it, and demmm i wish i could film like that

[@gandolfogiacomarra2131]

Good evening, first of all I wanted to compliment you on your tutorials that you create, adding many ideas and being able to try and make good videos, thank you for what you create... I wanted to ask you since I bought a new iPhone 15 Pro Max and I noticed that when I make videos by doing tracking shots I noticed that the video stutters I wanted to know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a defect in my phone... I saw that I made videos with the iPhone and there are no defects and they stutter they are perfect. I hope the translation is correct.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Hi @gandolfogiacomarra2131 , First of all, thank you so much for your kind words about my tutorials. I'm glad you find them helpful for creating good videos. Regarding your iPhone 15 Pro Max, if you're noticing stuttering in your tracking shots, there could be a few reasons for this. Here are some things to check: Native vs. Pro Camera Apps: Consider using a pro camera app, like the Blackmagic app, for more manual control over your settings, especially for maintaining the correct shutter speed (following the 180-degree rule). Note that you'll most likely need an ND filter to achieve this, like the one I'm using in this video. Lock Focus and Exposure: Tap and hold on the screen to lock focus and exposure, which can help maintain consistency and reduce stuttering. Stabilisation Settings: Make sure the stabilisation feature is enabled in your camera settings. Lighting Conditions: Low light can sometimes cause stuttering as the camera tries to adjust. Ensure you have good lighting. Gimbal or Handheld: If you’re using a gimbal, make sure it’s properly balanced and calibrated. If handheld, try to keep your movements as smooth as possible. If you've checked all of these and the problem persists, it's unlikely to be a defect with your phone. It's more likely caused by camera settings or the way the video is being captured. Experiment with these settings and techniques to see if you can improve the smoothness of your shots. Hope this helps, thanks, Steve

[@gandolfogiacomarra2131]

Thank you very much Steve for your kindness and attention to my question. I'll try to follow your advice and hopefully solve the problem to have quality videos and no more shots. Hello and good evening

[@SamTajEddin]

I love the tips and details you give I use my S22 as the main camera for my travels do u advise using GoPro 4 as the main camera, especially for video? if yes what gamble do you advise to use with it and extra gears especially the gamble? if you could make a video about comparing these 2 cameras so we can know the difference Thanks

[@MarkTBond]

Thank you for the tutorial...enlightening...may I ask about the lens that you have attached to the phone? What is it and what does it provide that the phone itself cannot? Thank you for your time, Mark

[@YCymroAiGetyn]

Enjoyed them all but was surprised at the effectiveness of the the third method

[@WillNewcomb]

My Insta360 Flow has a limited tilt range. BUT instead of filming straight ahead of myself I hold it out sideways. That way when you lift it up it uses one of the other axes (in this case it uses the rotate axis) so you can get exactly same movement as you would with a gimbal with a wide tilt range.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Excellent tip @WillNewcomb , I'll be using this when I'm next out shooting with the Flow :-)

[@WillNewcomb]

@@LearnOnlineVideo It's a little less obvious but still works OK. You can still hold it in front of you but with the arm out sideways instead of in line with your arm.

[@Farshad_toupchi]

You’re amazing ❤

[@pavelswerus]

Why are you using Hohem gimbal? It's something special? I want buy insta 360 flow or dji osmo mobile 6 but can't choose 😢

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

I use many smartphone gimbals and choose based on what I'm shooting. For this case, I chose the Hohem because it has a great tilt axis, is lighter than other gimbals of a similar size, and is relatively cheap, so I'm not as worried if it gets broken or stolen while traveling. The Flow is also a great gimbal that I still use (a new one is coming soon, so stay tuned!). I've never used a DJI gimbal, but hopefully, they'll send me one soon. :-) Hope this helps!

[@pavelswerus]

@@LearnOnlineVideo thanks a lot
