as a solo shooter who edit his own videos i can say without a doubt that Mr Basel put a lot of work and effort to make this, and i mean a lot, this is not a simple video to make. thank you for your work and dedication wish you all the best.

[@pascalbasel]

Thanks, and yes... took about a month to pull that off.

[@wilfredoyvanessa]

I want to appreciate all of your efforts and the time that you put into making this guide. I had watched other beginners' guides in the past, and I admit that none of them are as thorough as yours. Neither come close to your guide. Even though I knew all of these info, I still watched it to see if I pick up one or two things here and there because all of your videos are creative and bring extra value to the YT community, and this video is no exception. The guide was well put together and complete with so much helpful and useful info for every person in the field. People should not overlook this video, neither take it for granted. This is the result of many years of experience and so much time building his craft. Great job, Pascal! -Wilfredo

[@pascalbasel]

Wow, thanks a lot for that 👍🏻 I hope you could pick up something new.

An insane amount of work has gone into this video. The content is invaluable, the script, the shots, the edit... This feels like a University degree module in one 45 minute video. Thanks, Pascal!

[@Aarushiii20]

Hey Pascal, just recently discovered your channel and you are such a gem!! Your videos are super helpful and they have definitely made it easier for me (and less terrifying) to pick up my own camera and get going! Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!👍🙌

I have to say, this is the best video for Videography basics I've ever seen. Really amazing work

[@markusgalli]

Awesome video for every beginner out there. Haven't seen such a in-depth guide on KZbin that comes close to this!

[@Durio_zibethinus]

I don't shoot video for a long time so my understanding is a bit out of date. Thanks for this detailed video, the dynamic range is astonishing, your voice is clear and the color is comfortable to look at.

[@venkatalgramam4461]

I have been a stills shooter for nearly 3 decades now & always wanted to shoot videos - but with all the technical Jargon in video could never really do it . This is by far the best video i have seen on videography - like a 101 - Kudos - Superb . Mr Basel - wonderful effort very very well compiled - Many thanks

The absolute BEST intro video on videos I have ever seen!

[@janwillem1006]

Genau sowas hätte ich damals als ich angefangen habe gebraucht :D Habe selbst mit 8-Bit angefangen und der Sprung auf 10-Bit in S-Log war es so wert und wenn man sowieso mit ND-Filter arbeitet macht es für mich keinen Unterschied, ob ich in LOG oder in nem anderen Profil filme. Zum Thema Grey Card hab ich letztens gesehen, dass die Lenscap von Sony auch ne Art Grey Card ist, die hat man immer dabei und besser als nichts :D

[@pascalbasel]

Stimmt, die Endkappe ist grau. Das sollte gehen. Habs auch schon mit nem grauen T-Shirt gemacht. Ist bei sowas wahrscheinlich nicht ganz akkurat, aber gut genug.

[@iamionscat9035]

Thank you very much for making and posting this video. As someone completely new to this medium I'm grateful. I don't know if you will ever see this but at times there is one bright white spot near the dead middle of the video that looks like a stuck Pixel. I thought it was my device but it comes and goes and is only in specific sequences or frames so I think it might be in your video. The best example of it is the sequence starting at 17:00 right below your lips in the shot. I apologize for posting this if it's my mistake or device or it's my fault, I'm not trying to offend you and maybe it's my device but I don't think so. I'm posting it because if it were me, if our positions were reversed - I would want to know. You did such an amazing job with this video and it has provided me with a great introduction to shooting video with my cameras. Thank you again.

[@pascalbasel]

Thanks for telling me. Looks like something was on the lens. Can't see it other shots.

[@iamionscat9035]

​@@pascalbaselI only saw it pop up one more time at 17:33 under the "EXPOSURE" word. I thought I saw it in one more scene when you were working in DaVinci or another program but I don't have a time code. The only reason I think I saw it was because of your fantastic looking coloring, you are very talented at that, your stuff looks amazing! If it did pop up again I missed it, it's very hard to detect. Anyway, just trying to be helpful. Whatever you do, just keep making videos you're great at it, your work is fantastic! All the best to you.

[@nicolecole2310]

[@DD-ow4ob]

Hi Pascal, great video you have here. I've been shooting since the days of film so this information was a fun review and I like how you presented it. However there is one correction I need to make. At 17:56 you called 'A' or Aperture Priority mode "automatic mode". It is not fully automatic like it was presented. That would be 'P' or Program mode. You likely already understand this but for those that are unaware: Aperture Priority (A) mode is where you manually control the aperture and the camera tries to compensate for that setting by automatically adjusting the shutter speed. Shutter Priority (S) mode is the opposite of that, meaning that you manually set the shutter speed and the camera attempts to compensate the exposure using the aperture. 'A' and 'S' modes I guess could be termed semi-automatic Program (P) mode (sometimes also presented as AUTO) is the one that controls both shutter and aperture and is fully automatic. Manual (M) mode as indicated allows one to control both aperture and shutter speed without regard to exposure Hope this helps folks!

[@pascalbasel]

Yeah, that’s technically correct. Aperture priority is the only automatic mode I use occasionally, aside from auto ISO. That’s why I wrote that.

[@soihavetoplay]

What a masterclass video. Well done!!! New subscriber here!

[@dougsphoto]

Hi Pascal great video, but there is another camera brand and although you might not recommend it I like many have that brand unfortunately and that's Nikon and for us it would be nice if you could include some recommendations if you can it would be appreciated :)

[@pascalbasel]

It's not that I don't recommend Nikon. The Z8 and Zf look great, they are just too heavy for my way of shooting. If Nikon would send me some for testing, I'd love to feature them. But to give recommendations on my channel, I at least want to have some experience with the camera brand, even I can't properly test every single camera.

[@dougsphoto]

​@@pascalbasel I'll have a word with Nikon 😂

[@LIA-mq4ci]

I feel you! I have absolutely no clue what is happening and most of the settings I think are not even available on Nikon so now I bought a new camera to try to make some videos but I guess I just wasted money! :D

[@dougsphoto]

@@LIA-mq4ci hi the Nikon Z6ii can film in 4k and is great for most beginners, yes it doesn't have all the features as more expensive cameras but I'm happy with my videos so far, and I'm sure if you signup to some of Pascals courses you will learn a not and your investment wouldn't of been a waist.

[@pascalbasel]

Thanks! Explained in the codec and bitrate part ;-) HS 200 422 10bit, if your computer handles it.

[@philippc4586]

Great video! Instantly subscribed ✌️

[@gossedejong9248]

Thank you!!!!!

[@dazedhavoc]

Thank you!

[@sagardigitallab]

One FHD frame (1920x1080) consume around '2.1 mega bit' of space. @25fps, it would be around ( 25x 2.1) 50mega bite/sec. That equals to 6.25 Mega Bytes /sec.( 50÷8). So, a 4K footage (8mp appx./ Frame) @25p would require 200mega Bit - i.e. 25 MegaBytes /sec. The above calculation is - before implementation of any compression method. Am I right ? Now, the question is - why do you recommend 100MBps - that too, with applying compression (H.264). Kindly correct /clarify me.

[@pascalbasel]

You kinda wrote the answer already. Compression means that it's not that much about the pixels any more (only to a certain degree), but more about the movement of and in front of the camera (more movement = higher bitrate needed). The numbers in the video are from my experience over the years. For steady shots without much movement, you might get away with lower bitrates, if you shoot a lot of very fast sports etc, higher bitrates and ProRes can make more sense. But with the bitrates mentioned, I never noticed any quality degradation in any shot. That's why I recommend them.

[@AA-uu8ox]

Excellent content. For shooting nature videos and views of the ocean (without much movement) with the Iphone would you recommend using a VND and CPL filter in one or just the CPL filter alone? I want to use the CPL filter, but I'm wondering whether the combined version with a VND (that some filters have) would be a better option than using the CPL filter alone. What are your thoughts?

[@pascalbasel]

For static shots, you won’t notice a big difference. Every VND is also a CPL as it’s two CPL filters rotating against each other. CPL can be useful to cut reflections from the water. If you have a VND, you can slightly unscrew it and turn it to adjust the CPL effect, even if it’s not a „combined“ filter. Just be careful that the filter doesn’t fall off.

[@AA-uu8ox]

Thank you :). I might try that

[@TheJohnsoned]

Thank you for this video, please i have a question, are you saying, i can shoot at 24p though im in Europe? im still a beginner.

[@pascalbasel]

Sure

[@raywu6787]

Taking photo through camera screen is the right way for a smart photographer. Through the camera screen, instead of view finder, you will have the better vew to judge the scale of the photo scene. In addition, you will know immmediate if your camera is taking the true color photo from the scene that you are shooting at.

[@Menelik.videos]

Hey there, I just subscribed because your videos are just excellent. Quick question, how long does it take you to edit for example this video? I'm asking because I know a thing or two about video editing and it takes a lot of time and effort to crank out a video such as this one. Excellent work. Please let me know.

@@pascalbasel Thank you Basel. Really appreciate it. It's amazing that you can crank out a video of this quality in such a short time. I have watched a bunch of your other videos as well. They're very good. I'll be watching a lot more. There's so much value in them. Thank you brother.

[@pascalbasel]

@@Menelik.videos It was 100% scripted and shot-listed though, so the animations too the most time. The rest was quite easy to edit. Shot listing (and actually numbering the files) helps a lot to finish projects like that quicker.

[@Menelik.videos]

@@pascalbasel yeah I would imagine that the animations took the most amount of time. All right brother have a good one and thanks again.

[@smackent_9]

Going from shooting in 24 to 60. What about editing those two clips on the timeline like in fcp for ex. You can only set the timeline at one specific frame rate

[@pascalbasel]

Timeline to 24, and either adjust the 60P clip for slow motion (40% of the original speed), or 80% of the speed for slight, barely noticeable slow motion to keep the motion smooth (80% = 48P - multiplicator of 24). If you need to keep the clip at 100% speed, change it to 99% of the original speed and use Retime Process: Optical Flow + Motion Estimation: Speed Warp in DaVinci Resolve to let it calculate the frames to keep it smooth. Otherwise, 60P looks laggy unless there isn't much motion in the shot.

[@smackent_9]

@@pascalbasel thank you for the feedback!

[@smackent_9]

@@pascalbasel quick question. I’m editing the wedding I just shot on Saturday through FCP. I went back and forth from 4k 24, 1080x60, and 1080x120fps. When you say the timeline should be in 24fps, you’re meaning 4k 24fps yeah? This was different for me, usually when I shoot, I choose one frame rate and go from there but I wanted to try something different and get out the comfort zone.

Sure, 24 is 40% of 60, so you get 40% slow motion. 20% for 120.
