I've watched countless "how to make your gopro footage look cinematic" &/or "get better gopro footage" type videos & THIS ONE was by far the most valuable 🤙🏾🙌🏾! Straight to the point, lots of visual examples + side-by-side comparisons & in-depth [enough] info about when/how to change settings. The mini color grading sesh at the end was also a nice introductory touch. Gained a new sub for this wonderful video!

[@RomaFedorov]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RoadOfMiracles]

Absolutely! I never leaves comment, but this one is fair.

[@RomaFedorov]

Thanks!

[@Im_happy_01]

Thanks for this video! I love the details, settings set up, samples, post processing, and the summary at the end of the video. All i need as a beginner at this point. I hope KZbin algorithm brings more viewers to your channel. More power dude!

[@RomaFedorov]

Cheers!! Glad it was helpful man! Keep practicing and eventually you’ll get better!

[@Tearoze]

Your video was very informative and helpful. Thank you so much for demonstrating how to actually set up and use the GoPro. I recently purchased it and wanted to see how to get the best possible results. Loved your ninja walk and I watched the Ads without skipping because I appreciate your work 💯

[@BreonNagy]

This is a great tutorial without being pretentious. So many videographers are so prescriptive with their setup.

[@RomaFedorov]

Cheers! Hope you learned something!

Awesome.... You are simply genius in explaining. I'm new to GoPro and luckily i have purchased GP hero 11 black. This video just came in right time. Perfect👍 thanks tonne mate.. If you could give some more tips on how to shoot driving videos with help go pro that'll be great. All the settings etc of gopro for driving, and capturing beautiful scenery.. Also not to forget pls suggest best mounts to fix on car roof for video recording.

Excellent video!

[@RomaFedorov]

[@erickobetitsch6055]

Great vid.

[@HarryOsirian]

That was one of the best videos for settings/presets I've seen for the GoPro. I recently purchased the Gopro 12 and plan on using it for my trip to Iceland this summer. It will be daylight 24 hours a day but Icelandic weather is tricky. It can go from sunny to cloudy and rainy very fast. I'm going to test your settings in different conditions so I can switch them up if neccesary. Now, @RomaFedorov, May I ask if you have any recommendations about settings for in-car mounted filming? I intend to have separate settings for the car-mounted POV of the road and the scenery and I would like to avoid the fish-eye effect as much as possible, still capturing a wide view (and not my dashboard) 😊. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@Hindikiaag67811]

Thanks 🙏 😍

[@theartofsusovangupta5191]

Hi. Thanks For the awesome video. i really want to purchase a action cam. more specifically DJI OA4 but what I want to know weather go linear mode is more wide or the standard dewarp in DJI has more wide look?

[@CAYDESPADE]

this is what i need

[@awaissolotraveler]

You are legend....🎉

[@rgersh]

Hi Roman! First of all, thanks a lot for this great video, the info here is very valuable and well structured. If that is not too much work for you, I wanted to ask to provide some sample short straight out of camera clips from your Hero 11 in 5.3k/linear/10 bit/flat to compare to what I am getting from my camera... For some reason even when I limit the ISO to 400, in less than ideal lightning conditions (not even dusk, just a cloudy greyish day in the city) I get enormous amount of noise I've never seen before and don't know how to deal with in post. I am trying to understand if this is just a reality with a GoPro (this is my first one), I am doing something wrong, or maybe I have a problematic copy. Спасибо большое за помощь и успехов в развитии канала!

[@user-ms6lt4bn7k]

I just boutht a gopro and whole set of filters from kase. can't wait to take a shoot of my surfing.

[@pomarehortadoportuga]

Perfectttttt

[@kickedoutonthestreets]

Suupppperr helpful. Subbed!

[@RomaFedorov]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Ankit._Sharma]

Can you make something like this for DJI action 3 with camera settings please

[@AbelVlogsRD]

How did you know i needed this video?

[@RomaFedorov]

I just knew! 😀

[@talalmarouf5817]

Me either 🎉

[@annripo]

me too❤❤

[@xXadambXx]

I find for myself the best in gopro lab lock maximum automatic shutter speed to 1/100 (stabilization still working normal) and turn off noice reduce ( for me grain in more pleasing than big blocks and less details)

[@Rosson91]

Could you make one for the Action 4?

[@gabrieltrocoli6653]

Muito obrigado!!

[@RomaFedorov]

Gracias!

[@8figureman]

Thanks for the settings l just bought a GoPro 11

[@RomaFedorov]

Have fun!

[@bryangomez2897]

hey bro amazing love it i like people help us like that i have a question do you have LUTS for underwater ? and can you one day make a tutorial how to buy your luts and use it pleas

[@RomaFedorov]

I don't have LUTS for underwater use. Getting my LUTS is simple. It's pretty much the same as buying anything online, and loading the LUTS is also simple; simply look up how to load LUT's in the editing program you use.

[@MaxBarashev]

Osmo Action 3/4 version please! 🙏🙏🙏

[@dayathidayat2972]

Nice 🇮🇩

[@muthukasun]

Thank you, good content.............

[@RomaFedorov]

You're welcome

[@sanatan-das]

Инфа полезная, спасибо. Прикольный индийский акцент )))

[@17cream]

Awesome video, one of the best. I have a question. Why shoot 5k, when I would I would only export to 4k?

[@RomaFedorov]

Thanks! With 5.3K you have more resolution to crop your shots without losing quality. In addition, you’re going to get more detail in your shots if you’re going to downscale from 5.3K to 4K rather than from 4K to 4K.

[@2Megapixels]

man, i saw your videos with the action 4 and the camera is very nice, but i think this video of the gopro 11 are better... i bought it last week the Action4 but i prefer the 5.3k of the gopro11 then i sell it ( the action 4 ) and now i stay with the gopro11 and man.. the quality are amazing in 5.3k.. i travel last days for the north of spain and make 2 vlogs of the travel in 5.3k and is amazing.. i like it more than the 4k of the action 4.. but think the action have better mics and front touchscreen is good.. and also the usb c directly without shet' mediamods.. what do you think ? next 2 days i travel another time now to "bilbao" and i will go also to "San Juan de Gaztelugatxe" where game of thrones do a scenes there and i am thinking to buy another time the action 4 and compare them there! what do you think Roma?

[@RomaFedorov]

The GoPro, for sure, produces a more detailed image when filming in 5.3K. However, because the Action 4 has a lower megapixel count and a larger sensor, it delivers better low-light performance. Additionally, the Action 4 produces slightly more accurate colors straight out of the camera compared to the GoPro, which reduces the need for extensive post-production adjustments. The other advantage of the GoPro is HyperSmooth, which is slightly better than RockSteady, but not by much. So, you have to choose whether you want the most detailed image quality with slightly better stabilization from the GoPro or slightly less sharp image quality with better low-light performance and a much more dependable camera with the Action 4. I prefer the Action 4, mainly because of its colors, low-light performance, and overall ease of using the camera. Cheers,

[@mcmiller233]

Do you color correct and grade all video before editing? Or, edit the video, and only correct/grade what you use in the final video?

[@RomaFedorov]

The latter.

[@MrCarls88]

What software do you use for color grading. Your video are so awsome.

[@RomaFedorov]

Thanks. I use Final Cut Pro.

[@ichmutladze]

стильный акцент, полезный видос!

[@RomaFedorov]

Spasibo.

[@DavidSilva-mf6rj]

amazing video! did you use gopro ndfilter ?

[@RomaFedorov]

Thanks! I didn't use a filter.

[@Easy-Peasy-draw]

Can i use gopro hero 9 underwater without a special box?

[@RomaFedorov]

Yes. But up to 10m, I think..

[@Shekainah-qc1uv]

What software did you use for color grading? thanks

[@RomaFedorov]

Final Cut Pro

[@lenaelisaaa]

Which program do you use for color grading?

[@RomaFedorov]

Now, Davinci Resolve. Before, I used Final Cut Pro.

[@dmitriymedvedev2469]

would you recommend go Pro 11 or dji action 3?

[@RomaFedorov]

If you want the best image quality from an action camera, go with the GoPro 11. If you want the best reliability and battery life, go with the DJI Osmo Action 3. Personally, I prefer the HERO11.

[@siwek102]

where is the flare known from gopro??

[@RomaFedorov]

I don't know haha

[@BreonNagy]

If my project is going to be 100% vertical, should I shoot with the camera portrait or landscape and then crop?

[@RomaFedorov]

Portrait 100%!

Really?

так и хотелось написать, русский что-ли) Акцент прикольный

[@RomaFedorov]

Da

[@kk-qu1zc]

Can I always use 60fps if I still double the shutter speed? After gaming at 240fps I promised myself I would leave 30fps back in the early 2000's and never touch it again.

[@RomaFedorov]

You can, but why? It takes up more storage, and everything looks like a football match... I prefer to use standard frame rates, like 24, 25, 30p for normal video, and use 50, 60, 100, 120p for slow motion only.

[@kk-qu1zc]

@@RomaFedorov I get motion sick from slow fps is all. I feel the reason we as a society haven't moved up fps is mostly due to costs and established views.
