What a great video; you’ve distilled what I always thought was a mind numbing process into something really simple. Can’t wait to give it a try…thanks Sam!

[@SamHolland]

Thanks so much Charles. So pleased this made things a bit more digestible for you 🤩🎥🙏🏻 hope it helps

[@donald2111]

I want to thank you for helping me get what I couldn’t get even while watching ppl for over 2yrs on KZbin

[@SamHolland]

Hi Donald. I’m so pleased you found this helpful 🤩🙏🏻🎥 stay tuned for plenty more and if you have any questions just ask

[@jer3006]

Ahh, key words at 5:00... "You may be finished here unless you have a client..." The workflow you outlined to that point will become my workflow since my videos are family-use. Thank you for making it easy for me to color grade! The KISS method at work! ⭐x 5

[@Akhi_Fins_and_Felins_]

Hi Sam, I love your videos mate keep up the good work. Sam, can you do a video or letting me know what is good for windows pc or laptop as thats what i will be grading on. Thanks Buddy hope👊🏼👌

[@jeedax]

I know you're a sound design wizard!! Please make an video on how to select the best sounds and where.

[@Zak-jz9ik]

❤️❤️❤️

[@hakimbenchabane]

I’m so hurry to receive my v-log to start shooting and grading with it and try all your advices. Have you made a video on how you shoot in V-Log ? Specially with the GH5

[@SamHolland]

Hi. I made a video explaining my settings for the S5 which will be the same for the GH5 in that respect 🙏🏻🎥

[@steven871]

Very helpful,Sam. How can i balance shooting 4k60 or 4k120 in log at high native ISO and also get a shallow DOF? Typically high iso leads to narrow aperture and deep DOF, no?

[@alloneword154]

The hard part is getting good exposure in camera

[@SamHolland]

That’s true. I have an exposure video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17Zkqljgamqd8k But stay tuned for a full exposure series coming soon 🤩🎥

[@davidcheckley3773]

Wow would find more like this useful, if I edit a video first can I do this after in one go or is it done clip but cilp?

[@SamHolland]

Hi David. Glad this helped you. I didn’t go into this in this video but you would usually correct each clip and then use LUTs on an adjustment layer and then just make minor tweaks to make all the clips match 🎥

[@benjhaisch]

Gamut! 🙌🏼

[@SamHolland]

🤩💪🏻🎥

[@benjhaisch]

I started selling LUTs with them awhile back before I even really knew anything about video but Caleb is a genius and converter my presets over. Such a good setup.

[@SamHolland]

That’s amazing! 🤩🙏🏻🎥 good work

[@user-rb7ox2zx1o]

hello，How can I adjust my self-shot food videos to make them more appetizing? Are there any applicable 'LUTs' for that？

[@premierepixel9008]

Can I please get the Vlog Gamut your use, I am from Nigeria I can't get it through the site 🥺

[@fauland_photography]

Which conversion LUTs do you recommend for Fujifilm X-H2S (I am using FLOG2) ??

[@momesh9107]

Bro can you please make a video on the MacBook air you bought a year ago

[@SamHolland]

Hey brother. What do you need to know?? 🙏🏻🎥

[@sbphotographyvideography]

There seem to be people that start from LOG and immediately apply a creative LUT and do the basic corrections after. Any thoughts on that?

[@johnclay7644]

how ,long does it take too grade 100mins instead 10mins?

[@GeeQueee]

Wat if I have a movie worth of footage

[@osoriony]

You said Log profile would give you the most dynamic range. Should you recommend instead RAW video?

[@SamHolland]

This is kind of aimed at the people that don’t have raw in their cameras yet but good point 🙏🏻

[@cvitkovic.viktor]

Do you shoot overexposed in VLog?

[@SamHolland]

Hey. Check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJi0f4Wbgtajhac Sometimes I go 1 stop over but it all depends. Hopefully this video will help

[@seancrowley3142]

Sooo are color cards useless? If the colors can all be adjusted post production?

[@SamHolland]

Colour cards are used to set a standard across multiple cameras so make sure they match 🙏🏻 and also check exposure, contrast and saturation. Hope this helps 🤩🎥

[@liverary79]

What is the name of the editing software?

[@SamHolland]

I use FCPX (final cut pro X) 🙏🏻🎥🎬

[@liverary79]

@@SamHolland it could be the same principle whatever software i will use..right?

[@SamHolland]

Totally. Just different functions

[@UrdazFilms]

How do you expose vlog?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. Here is a video where I explain how I expose - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJi0f4Wbgtajhac

[@UrdazFilms]

@@SamHolland great video, but im more of a travel videographer, most videos I find on how to expose they use cards and stuff I really wont be able to use on a run and gun situation.

[@MaestroWilliams]

Hello, I am like crazy looking all over KZbin for a dark moody preset or lut for premiere pro, who is ready to provide me?

[@SamHolland]

Check out my LUTs the film pack or retro LUT packs have some moody presets in them www.Sam-holland.com 🎥🙏🏻

[@checkadam42]

At the beginning of this video you made a promise to the viewers: "I'm going to give you the magic bullet that will tie all of this together..." And then you broke that promise at the end by telling the viewers they have to watch a whole other video for that magic bullet.

[@SamHolland]

I can’t put everything in one video. You clicking on another video is only the same as if I made the video longer.
