My Efficient Cinematic HLG3 PP10 Workflow | Sony ZV-E10 + A7C

bro that sony zve10 footage is insaneeeeeee

[@michaelperdaens3459]

The first one i have seen that finally mentions what metering mode he uses for his HLG setup!

[@VictorLaforteza]

Definitely one of the important parts!

[@michaelperdaens3459]

@@VictorLaforteza indeed, if you talk about auto iso and exposure compensation you got to mention in what metering mode it is 😊 Great video this helped a lot!

[@tannerknapp12]

This is the EXACT video I needed holy crap, you're a lifesaver and an amazing teacher!!!

[@VictorLaforteza]

glad the video helped!!

[@andregant9980]

Bro, first of all, though you may feel you posted a quick "Lemme show how I use HLG3" video, you need to realize how much value you've provided to your audience. Stop underselling yourself but stay humble as you are. Keep it up bud, I'll keep an eye on your channel. Also, for HLG3, use color mode BT2020 to maximize the color gamut at the time of recording instead of Rec709. Once you're editing, you can covert to Rec.709. Also, if you want customized highlight readings, set your Zebras to +95 Lower Limit (this is a custom Zebra setting).

[@VictorLaforteza]

thanks so much for the kind words!! I have tried BT2020 but just didn't like it for my workflow! I might have to revisit at some point as I'm always wanting to improve my HLG workflow

[@tdavis7396]

this video was so clutch at the perfect time. Thank you, my friend!

[@OnceinaSixSide]

When filming with these settings, what are we looking for in that metering for the highlights? You went straight from settings to editing the footage, but I'm stuck on the actual filming bit lol Since ISO and white balance are set to auto, I guess that just leaves shutter speed and aperture to play around with so when adjusting those is there something to be mindful of doing or not doing based on that metering?

[@VictorLaforteza]

You don’t look at anything aside from the metering being underexposed / over exposed. The only thing you play around is aperture because you stick the shutter speed at 2x the frame rate. If anything is blinking, that means you have something over it’s limit and is under and over exposed. Overall, you let the camera do the work for you with these settings. The camera will automatically expose for +1 on the metering. You can adjust the setting to suit what for your manual needs.

[@OnceinaSixSide]

@@VictorLaforteza Thanks for clarifying!

HLG3! Gerald undone tested all three and found hlg3 has slightly better dynamic range.

@@VictorLaforteza how do you deal with the green overcast/tint of hlg3? It bothers me and I can't decide whether to shift the tint to magenta to globally adjust it in the clip, or do so in the tone curves?

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@PacoM. I would isolate the green cast from the HSL curves. Depending where it's prominent. You also gotta be careful with the skin tones and make sure they are aligned with the skin tone line on the vectorscope!

This 1:30 menu is not from the ZV-e10

[@VictorLaforteza]

No it’s not, it’s a7c but the layout and settings are very similar. You can still set the same settings. And you can also customize the “menu” from the function settings. That’s the beauty of Sony cameras.

[@teddygotsch5832]

Hey again! Are you able to do a video on how to expose for HLG3/SLOG3 using false colors on an external monitor? I'm looking to do that, but would enjoy some assistance! Hope to use your LUTS on them!

[@VictorLaforteza]

of course! I'll put it on the list but probably will be posted around early next year. To sum up my workflow with false colours, I would always try to avoid the highest values so my footage wont clip. Same thing with shadows, I would try to lift it up with exposure or extra lighting if I do need to. I mainly use false colour on controlled sets or at least something I can add some lights in because it becomes a nuisance if I'm using it in run and gun situations. I would keep the skin tones to the 60-70% value (on the atomos I think it's pink colors) to make sure my subjects have the best exposure. Hope that helps! If you have any more questions feel free to ask !

[@teddygotsch5832]

@@VictorLaforteza Thanks, that does! I just purchased the Atomos V and am hoping to pick up the A7RV. Hoping to make higher-quality videos! Would love to see a demonstration video, I'll be on the lookout early next year!

[@UltratecJS]

I'm interested in buying your Base Luts for use on my ZV-E10. After I purchase, do I apply it under effects or under color? Is that the one you would recommend for use with HLG3, I'm also doing my recording from a studio (Indoors with lighting)? -Noob

[@VictorLaforteza]

Which editing software do you use?? Yes! HLG3 is the all around picture profile that is pretty versatile in most scenarios!

[@UltratecJS]

@@VictorLaforteza I'm using Adobe Premiere.

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@UltratecJS Alright! so the tabs on top shouldnt matter it's just the layout! What you need to add it to is the "lumetri color" effect to the footage or an adjustment layer. From there, you need to ad it to input LUT or creative LUT if you want more control. Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot brother …. So for 4k it’s -7. what about HD ? People say to keep it on 0. What’s your opinion for that?

[@marco_marks]

Very nice video! I just got my ZV-E10 today and am really impressed with the capabilities. Question:Did you film your self-shot in this video with the ZV-E10 or the A7III? I noticed some color banding on your white wall in the background. Still, great video!

[@VictorLaforteza]

I think it’s the a7iii that I shot this video with. Most of the banding I think is the KZbin compression but if we do push the 8bit footage, we’ll start to see the banding on our editing suite!

[@joyoffilming9500]

Most banding does come from exporting with codec H.264 which is 8bit only. It took me more than a year to get it right by using H.265 which is 10bit. 90% less banding issues since then.

[@missionearth101]

Hi, when I use these settings with ND filter I get very dark image. What m I doing woring

the ND is making it hard to get more light in. That means you dont need it if you're getting dark images.

@@VictorLaforteza but when I remove the ND filter its over exposed. I need to take SS to 1/400 then. On Auto mode same ND filter works just fine.

@@missionearth101 seems like the ND filter is too strong. If you're at 24fps and at 1/50 and it's still dark, the ND is too strong.

[@zazangbob]

@@VictorLaforteza Hello, brother. I watched this video and it was a good reference. I did as you advised. 1. I filmed with a Sony 8-bit camera. 2. I set it to HLG3 + 709. 3. The ISO value is set to 100-200. 4. Exposure is +1 5. Kelvin used a gray card. 5. And I also used ND filter, CPL filter, and BPM filter. The results were quite amazing. But there is a problem. It's skin tone exposure. I don't have a Philworld or a Port Key monitor. I want to use the zebra pattern. By the way, does Zebra pattern have different numbers for each picture profile? I want to know the value of zebra pattern that can determine the most beautiful skin tone when shooting with HLG3.

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@zazangbob Yeah, skintones is tricky sometimes with HLG when editing. Zebras are gonna change in different PP as it is finding IRE values. The value differs because of the dynamic range of each profile, you'll see it when you scroll through different pps
