Pro Colorist Grades Sony A7R V Footage - Is it any good?

[@bwest6275]

Fantastic demo, I learned a lot! I have an FX6 and was on the fence of getting the A1 for a hybrid camera, but went with the A7R V instead as it is just an incredible "value" for a hybrid mirrorless. Glad to see how capable it's video footage is in the hands of a pro colorist.

[@SrodMode]

I have that camera right now and I've been using it for a month already (I'm a Sony's tester) and it blew my mind, I was expecting only an amazing photo camera with video features, but it actually not only blew my mind with the photo and AI autofocus but in video department was more than I thought, I own a FX3 that is superior in the video department but trust me, the gap is not big(except in low-light situation, even though the noise pixels are smaller), I even believe that in color science is even better than FX3 because I used both in a multicam project. If you also do photography, don't think twice, trust me! if you need more footage from the camera, just let me know. All the best!

[@ahmedouissa5462]

are you going to switch from fx3 to a7rv, because im about to purchase one of them for long term, and im between one of them, im 70 video and 30 photos. ¿¿

[@ahmedouissa5462]

and with the a7rv can in shot video with the 15 MP (to turn it as similar as posible to fx3)

[@theqazman]

You might have just made up my mind. ♥️

[@DineshBhadwal]

Hi, I am amazed you mentioned FX3 and that the gap isn't that much considering the rolling shutter on RV is quite bad compared to FX3.

[@Mareisco]

Thank you for that! It helped me to decide buying the A7RV, because I needed some input for what is possible in color correction.

[@sribadeneira92]

Dope tutorial! Id love to see something fashion related with an A7iv! Or an easy color grade for it

[@theqazman]

Good idea will do.

[@HALCYONphoto]

Really awesome. This is definitely a look I struggle to achieve properly. Thanks for this!

[@theqazman]

Of course. Happy to help. 😀

Dude, this is sick! best channel out there!!

[@pauls1ngh]

Fantastic class. Learned so much 🙏 Qazi is an absolute legend 💐💐💐

[@lu8cho]

Can you do a similar video tutorial like this one but grading fujifilm flog or flog 2 footage from the X-H2s? Thanks!

[@Dexxter_slav]

Oh yes please! I'm in a market for a X-H2s so that would be golden!

[@theqazman]

So many people are asking for Fujifilm. What am I missing? 🤔

[@maniratnamcreator]

@@theqazman i think you are missing the most underrated brand in the modern day's competetion in a hybrid camera market where sony, canon has attention of all with their promotions and missing the fuji's classic color science . i hope you will love it for sure Qazi. Good to hear a tutorial is coming on F-Log or Eterna footage grading . Can't wait to watch that comes from a master 😊 Thank you qazi for hearing us the fujifilm community

[@Dexxter_slav]

@@maniratnamcreator when did he confirm it would be coming?

[@maniratnamcreator]

@@Dexxter_slav he said he will do in the replies so i thought he might do that

[@thabo5799]

Can you give other brands some love too? Maybe Fuji, would be nice to see how you work with their colour science

[@theqazman]

I will.

Great video! I don't usually leave comments so I'll say thank you for your work and for sharing your experience, I've learnt so much in your videos ! I've definitely improved the way I work with Resolve 🙏

[@theqazman]

Music to my ears. ♥️

[@heminhaokip6456]

Seeing your works motivates me not to give up on my passion..Don't have computer nor a camera but will still keep on going😭😭

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Wonderful work. I absolutely love the look you gave this shot.

[@theqazman]

Thank you ♥️

[@77dris]

R6 Mark II would be great! It's the best camera in its class (followed by the A7IV then the S5 II which are crippled by cropped 4K modes and bad rolling shutter). Btw, as far as MP go, just uprez the files in Adobe Camera Raw to 60 from your A7IV and you should get great results. Use the built in Enhance feature if needed. It's not worth all the extra money just for MP. I compared the R6 II vs the R5 and when I upscaled to 45 MP using Adobe Camera Raw, in "blind" testing my buddy and I could not see any real world difference even zoomed to 100% on a 5k monitor..(in fact the R6 II upscaled files using Enhance actually looked sharper/more detailed) and we have 30 years of graphic design and photography experience between us. Tested on landscape, natural light and studio portraits using the best RF lenses (RF 50 and 85 1.2). I saved $2000 cdn and got the R6 II. This also sold me on 24 MP over the 33 MP of the A7IV because the Sony had a lot of drawbacks as mentioned (can't deal with crops in 2023) and the terrible LCD and questionable ergos made me just not want to go with that cam despite the fact it's probably quite good.

[@Eyeofkamau]

I’d definitely have the XH2s above the R6 II, and the S5IIx over both the S5II and A7IV

[@brandonklemets2958]

Would love to see you edit some footage from the Fuji XH2

[@mvz]

It would be really interesting to see you build a look for some of your watch photo raw files in DaVinci. How the qualifiers and color page work with photos vs video would be a unique comparison. I wonder if it would be a development workflow photographers could use as well...

[@theqazman]

Sounds like fun but wouldn't be practical since Resolve isn't a photo app.

@@theqazman Thank you very much 🤩😍

[@Eyeofkamau]

Definitely need a XH2s video

[@vernardfields7044]

12:43 when it comes to Qualifiers it's better to use the "Qualifier 3D" instead of the "Qualifier HSL" to have way better control and speed when selecting specific colors without the hassle of being stuck to a range of neighboring colors. The 3D route allows you to jump around colors on the spectrum without having to worry about neighboring colors. Way better and quick. Other than that this is a cool tutorial.

[@kera.habayeho]

Where it's at?

[@theqazman]

Not always true. And I have used it in the past and had much better luck with HSL.

[@jb4752]

Yess🔥

[@gabrielavastye7208]

Dude you kept going between Acesst and Davinci /Intermediate over the past few weeks claiming each one of them was the best. This is a bit confusing now, so can you please explain why can't make up your mind?

[@sajeedsarwarbd]

Exactly. Quazi's color mamagement is all over the place now a days for anybody who is following regular contents.

[@theqazman]

Love how there's always a hater in the closet waiting fo come out. 😂

[@theqazman]

I said it a million times but let me say it one more time there are a billion ways to grade my job is to show you different ways and then you pick what works best for you. Not that complicated to understand.

[@gabrielavastye7208]

@@theqazman Dude you're taking this the wrong way. Just consider me as some1 new in Davinci and who takes your word for granted when it comes to Color Grading. I have a lot of respect for you and love the way you grade. I just feel a bit confused as to which color space to use, because you speak about both of them equality without ever mentioning the difference. So what's the difference for some1 who is using Sony S-Log3 for example?

[@DiegoReluzV]

I'd love to see Panasonic S5, mid level camera. You're the man!!

I am total Sony fan. While being beginner freelancer doing both video and photography and havin small income, I need hybrid solutions. Altough at the moment I have Sony A6400, but hoping to upgrade at some point.. And don’t know anything of DVX100 nor HVX200 😅

Buy a used Sony a7iv and you'll be set.

[@exthander]

Awesome stuff , as always. Can you do a tutorial with bmpcc4k footage?

[@JonathanVarasRoco]

Thanks Qazi ! gotta' question... 😮 Should we use Rec709-A instead of gamma 2.4 in Output Color Space, if we have to post video on KZbin and Instagram Reels (?) - I'm using Imac M1 and slog 2 - MATRIZ ITU 709 in my A7sIII ... sometimes my clients are still saying that my final video is kinda dark on their screen, so... is there any Display profile, that you recommend for them just for the sake of having the same standard revisions (?) ( sRGB IEC61966-2.1 / HD 709-A or something else ) Probably they have non calibrated displays on mac's and I don't know that suggest to saving time and misunderstandings, the only thing I can say is that my scopes aren't crush on blacks and highlights. I'm using your workflow with some variations like: YRGB Color Managed + HDR Davinci Wide Gamut Intermediate + Rec709-A , that's all, any help with this will be appreciated 🙏

[@Yvesphotoandfilm]

I just got the R5 so I’d love to see that. But also your work with watches! I didn’t know you did that I’m a watch fan! People asking for Fuji that would be very interesting too! Ok I’m done 😅

[@theqazman]

Congrats! Yeah man, love watches. Fuji is n the list.

[@juliiskandarz]

Do a color grade with V-Log footage please

[@markleatherman9621]

Nice work man! I'm curious why your grain goes up front in the node tree? I would've thought to put it at the end of the chain. Any technical reason to put it up front?

[@mikelaurence]

In my opinion, it will look more natural and blend better if you place it somewhere at the beginning before all other adjustments. If you place it at the end, it might look too digital or faked.

[@theqazman]

Watch the free workshop for deeper node tree understanding.

[@spiderversy5920]

Awesome

[@fotomaton7852]

I really like the camera specific grade concept but it would be nice to see you venture outside Sony, specifically Canon (R5C, R6ii) and Fuji (XH2S). I still much prefer their colour science. Sony has improved but still requires a lot of tweaking, especially in mixed lighting. Great job as always though here, end result is night & day with the rec709!

Hi what size are the medium raw files. Taylor Jackson did a video were he said they are still to large. Im surprised as they looked about a 24mp file size.

Thanks for the tutorial, but I have a doubt. On almost every one of your lessons you always seem to have a different way to do the Color Transform method so it get's confusing which is actually the best way. I shoot Sony almost 100% 10 bit S-log and have several of your videos and almost everyone you say a different way of doing the color transform workflow including project settings..

[@theqazman]

There about a billion ways to grade a shot. I'm here to show you all of them. You get to pick whichever one works for you. 😀
