Why you NEED to be adjusting your PICTURE PROFILES!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

What is YOUR favourite picture profile to shoot on? Any custom 'sweet spot' profiles out there?

[@JakeStorey]

Peter McKinnon I use wat Devin supertramp shown in one of his tutorials to get a bright vibrant colour profile

[@PeterMcKinnon]

I've used that profile too! Colourful!

[@JakeStorey]

Peter McKinnon yeah I use it when I don't want to have to sit and colour correct much as it's vibrant and looks good for coming straight out of the camera

[@Sp00mster]

I've done this with my t3i and can get the colors to look great with a simple s curve. But when I try this with my go pro hero 4 black, I can't get to colors back at all? Any help?

[@JordanThomasmedia]

Peter McKinnon I use technicolor cinestyle when I have time to do grading. It's free and it gives me pretty decent dynamic range with my Canon 70d

[@JoeYatesAlaskanFilms]

Less than a year ago, I had no idea how to take photos and videos. After watching your videos, often, I have shot an award winning short film that has been shown in 12 different countries, been hired for both videographer and photographer for weddings, and passed my editing classes...with no help from the professor. I just want to say thank you for passing on the knowledge!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

LOVE that! So great to hear!! Congratulations! Keep killing it buddy!

[@JeanMarcGarin]

Congratulations! I would love to see that short film, link?

[@vladimirjelikic2953]

Joe Yates film is really good man :) just one small advice - next time try to lower the fps to 24.. it will look much better and more cinematic

[@JoeYatesAlaskanFilms]

Vladimir Jelikic: thank you for the advice! I'll keep that in mind for our next film.

[@Dr.MalcomsBrokenLeg]

For anyone wanting a flat profile as you can get IF you DON'T have Cinestyle or C-log or a cinema style picture profile! First find your flattest picture profile on your camera (mine is Neutral) Turn your Sharpness to 0 (Zero) Turn your Contrast to -4 Turn your Saturation to -2 Leave your Color Tone at 0 (in the middle) You can play with these and do whatever you please! Just in case anyone was new, I figured this might help! Always wonderful seeing your face on Tuesdays Peter! :D Wish I could join you on your adventures! :(

[@RomanSable]

Is it only for filming or it works for shooting photos too?

[@andrekaled]

@@RomanSable on photos this will only apply to the JPEGs, but doesn't make sense shooting JPEG neutral to get more dynamic range when you can simply shoot RAW haha. (And, no, the profile won't change anything in the raw file, but since it is raw, it already have more dynamic range than anything)

[@RomanSable]

@@andrekaled Thanks:)

[@oneleggedlifter7660]

@@andrekaled maybe a stupid question but since i am a noob haha, my profile is on standard, and as you said there is "sharpness" if i would crank that up, are my pictures really going to be sharper?

[@andrekaled]

@@oneleggedlifter7660 if the sharpness you are referring to is more details, doing it won't change it. The only thing that can make you photos sharper is a good lens and good focusing skill. The sharpening setting on the pictures profiles will only change your photos (jpeg) and videos in a post digital process. So it's basically the same thing as doing it in post processing using a software (PS, LR, PR..), the difference is that is a destructive process, and you won't be able to take it off in post of it come out to ruin some of your jpegs/videos. So you're better doing it in post and have full control over it than messing you pics permanently.

[@TrickShots4Real]

I'm glad this video was more than two minutes!

[@spiggott2393]

Nobody else on KZbin can spice up a basic camera tutorial better than Pete! Love this channel!

[@pandorasrealm27]

Totally not complaining about the bonus minutes they were a blessing

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Haha thanks!

[@QANguyen84]

It's amazing how you demystify the stuff that keeps most of us from diving deep into this world. You are an inspiration brother. You make the intangible, tangible.

[@SergioTheOne]

Thumbs up for 4.5 minute Tuesday! Color profiling is what I need help with the most. I spend so much time calibrating on my videos. Didn't know about log. I'll definitely try it out!

[@awesomefitnessscience7424]

"I am not sorry" lol made my day

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Haha :)

[@MarcC1973]

Man, been a news camera/editor since 2000, just bought a canon r8 as my personal camera. Log is new to me, and this vid totally explained it. I’m always refining my craft…and your enthusiasm makes it fun to keep learning. Cheers my friend. Can’t wait to take my new r8 for a spin in Log!

[@mattguthmiller]

Hey that's me in the s-log footage!

[@nicolinogiangiordano1680]

Hi Peter, your energy is insane..coffee-fueled or not. Don't stop. EVER! I've only been following a few weeks and have been inspired to take as many pics as possible, play with Post-Production apps, shoot video, fly a drone, etc. etc. I might have to go out and buy a camera!! If only I had money. ANY money! BUGGER! In the meantime, thanks for the excellent vlogs, the common-sense opinion, simplified tech info and Lr and Ps tutorials. Love it all.

[@nomads9739]

Two minute tuesday is something I'd expect to pay for with the info we get. These are amazing Pete!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Appreciate the compliment!

[@nomads9739]

Appreciate the reply! Cheers from Ottawa :)

[@nishantbahuguna5461]

oops now its a youtube red series

[@colewithacam97]

It's been 5 months since I started my journey as a developing cinematograhper with the recently-released Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k and I've never been able to fully understand log footage. Peter, you've helped me greatly, my friend. Many thanks from a 22-year-old down in Orlando. Hope to cross paths one day!

[@blxke1]

Hey Peter! I don't know if your considered this but I would love a video that explains everything that you need to know when shooting. The shutter speeds/iso/apeture/different frames example: 1/50 (I think that's right?). Keep up the good work!

[@blxke1]

GassedUpUK Thanks! And I am using the Canon 80d. Just got it a week ago and it's my first dslr so I'm trying to figure out the best way to record video.

[@StorybyDiego]

That's a good idea! Nice channel btw!

[@Melandjona]

Couldn't agree more with this! We started filming Flat a while back, and after some colour grading, it always looks so much better then default!

[@AlanRuic]

Well if you don't have a log log profile in your camera just choose a standard/natural/neutral picture profile. Reduce sharpening to the minimum amount possible. Reduce contrast to the minimum amount possible. Reduce saturation a bit (you still want to retain some color and not go completely monochrome). Super easy!

[@RomanSable]

In this case do I have to edit photos in jpeg? Because this doesn't work in raw

[@Aciimov]

@@RomanSable Only working with Video and JP(e)G format. If you want to capture a photo, dont use JPG, use RAW (You can edit what you want)

[@filmtips6983]

For me it doesn't work, I am setting all of that to -4 (the lowest) and it's a LITTLE less colorful than it was when everything was set to 4. plz help...

[@hardiksingh4138]

Its phenomenal how your channel has grown When I had subbed you , you literally had 30k and after a few days I could not believe that you had reached 100k You have taught me a loottt Congratulations in advance for 1M!!!

[@CronicGaming94]

super useful information. I need to look into this a bit more. I've adjusted my settings to get a decently flat image but the shots you were showing in this were much more flat than what i have been doing.

[@davidahvlediani7363]

I just wanted to tell you that I really like your videos. Even though I consider myself as an intermediate photographer I had a lot of questions when it came to things like new lenses or picture style or just inspiration, and almost every single time I looked for an answer to one of those questions on YT I found one of your videos explaining it and goving me extra motivation and inspiration. I really love how enthusiastic you are about all of that photography and filmmaking stuff, you defintely are an enrichment for the scene on KZbin. Greetings from Germany

[@karenaroo]

Just finished watching yesterday's vlog, refreshed the page & I get another tutorial. I think it's a sign to go shoot something today :')

[@PeterMcKinnon]

I would have to agree :)

[@CarolKay]

Hey Pete!!! I just have to have to say, you've inspired me creatively and due to religiously watching your videos, I've been able to increase my content output TENFOLD since I don't have to hire anyone to shoot my music videos. That means I'm at a huge advantage being able to release good looking content on a weekly basis. Even today, I was offered a sponsorship on my channel. Thank you from my heart. - Fellow Torontonian ☮

[@yesitstkm]

What I want to know is, do you always shoot in a higher frame rate (60fps, 120fps, etc) just in case you want to do slow mo. Or are you changing your settings constantly between 24fps and higher frame rates? Would love to know! Thanks

[@RamssesPharaoh]

Peter, you are constantly giving us gems to work with and make us better. Thank you.

[@AbdulrahmanAteya]

For the Panasonic shooters out there: use Cinelike-D, drop the saturation and drop the contrast

[@humblebossproductions]

I always love watching Two Minute Tuesdays, your tutorials and vlogs as well. I myself is a young and aspiring videographer from Jamaica and I know everything that I will own for myself like getting all the camera equipments will come to pass in Jesus name. But until then, working my way up is what I do. I also write poems as well such as Manchester United as a poetic video as an example. It's my favourite club and I edited it as well. I know where I made my flaws but by working my way up is what I always gonna do. I can give you a link as well. Others can also watch it too whether is a sports fan or not. Give thanks Peter McKinnon and an early congratulations to you for almost reaching 1M. You truly deserve it man.

[@IceGado]

OMG, I've just arrived home and on my way back, I was thinking why it's much better to edit low exposure manual shots than the good exposed automatic ones, and then there is Pete's video video!! wohhooooo thanks man :D

Question: How do you manage to post a new video every couple of days?! 🤔 For me it takes 7 to 20 days to finish one video 😐

[@SergioTheOne]

Ebrahim Ramzat Same here. Specially since mine are music videos so it takes me soooo long! I'm hoping I'll get faster with practice. ✌🏼

Probably one of the most difficult aspects! Id be lying if I said it was easy!

[@JFQ]

Hey Peter! I just recently got a C-log profile for my 1DX Mark II. I was wondering, do you have to shoot at a higher exposure than normal to get the most out of the c-log profile? I'm kind of lost and don't really know what the technicalities are to shooting in log format. I'd appreciate the tips a ton, thanks a lot!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

I haven't used a log profile for 1DX2 - you using a magic lantern FW for that?

[@JFQ]

It's basically a custom picture profile that you download and import to one of your user defaults that is suppose to replicate the flatness of a log picture profile.

[@srayandhar1091]

Peter, you're surely one of my favourite KZbinrs and teachers! Thanks for helping us out with your amazing creative sense! Love from India! :)

[@kappios78]

only for film or pictures as well?

[@rostislavandriciuc-fotogra63]

If you're shooting JPEG, the picture profile will determine how your photos turn out so it's advisable to change them according to the subject. If you're shooting RAW, it won't have any impact on the RAW file, however, it will make a difference when you preview your images in camera and it will probably also influence the histogram as it is based on the JPEG rendition of the image.

i set the lowest contrast on my 70D and still it is far from being flat edit: man i see a ton of peope also use the 70d

[@marcel.kovacic]

Faking a log profile with camera settings does not mean you get more details in the shadows or highlights!

[@metcalfemedia7512]

This is what i've been wondering.. it seems like with DSLRs if you go neutral/flat, lower sharpening etc.. You just have to fix it in post to achieve what the Standard profile would have given you to start with! I don't see much of a difference...

[@uhu4677]

LOG Picture Profiles do not increase dynamic range. They just store the information differently. This can make a difference, when there's not enough color resolution (bit depth) available or when there's too much compression. LOG gives more steps in shadow areas ... however, those steps are taken away from the brighter areas.
