Your GoPro Footage Sucks? // LET'S FIX IT

[@australiasian]

WOW I have a Go Pro 4 and I wanted to buy a Go Pro 7 because I wanted some rad MTB shots - but after watching this video and playing with the settings, I realize that a better camera doesn't mean I'll have better footage - it's about knowing how to use it! Thank you so much!

[@wonsikyang891]

what is the app's name?

I've been tinkering with my Hero 4 settings (using Boostmaster's settings) and GoPro Studio with no luck. Then, this vid pops up in my notifications, telling me everything I need to know :) Thanks!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha funny how things happen like that sometimes. Jordan's got his settings pretty dialled too! Although I've never been a fan of Native white balance, so I stick with setting my K temp depending on the situation. In either case, your footage will look flat before you color correct it.

One other thing I noticed here is the perception of the terrain you get from having the bars in the shot. When I see those bars rising and dropping relative to the rider, it gives me a much deeper sense of what that ride feels like. That's a huge benefit to the chest mount.

Nice tips, but. 24 frames looks like a slide show if you are used to higher frames and vice versa; 60 frames looks unreal if you are used to power points. Its all about what you are used to.

[@NoName-uy2hr]

24 is the standard cinematic look. I personally like to film in 120 or 60 and put it out in a 30fps timeline, so i have room for slomo and have a fluent clip but it doesn't look unreal. But thats just my personal opinion

[@a64738]

24/25 fps is a sideshow if you use short exposure times and look absolutely horrible. Also 24 and 25 fps give stuttering when watched on 30 and 60 fps in youtube and on a computer in general.

Awesome explanation, specially the part aboout the white balance.

I bought 3 Hero 2018 yesterday and changed their firmware to Hero 5 and they work just great, it unlocked a lot of advanced options and I'm definitely gonna use the hell out of my camaras soon enough. Thanks for this great vid!

[@TheLoamRanger]

nice! For daylight balanced lights, I'd go 5500K, but you could do 6500K for a bit warmer of a look. Play around with it and see what you like best!

This has been by far the best GoPro setting vid, all pro-tuned up now! Oh and FYI just went out and bought a chest mount thanks to your suggestions.

[@ohHeyKev]

With the 7 having hypersmooth it makes gimbals irrelevant to a certain extent. If you have enough preparation time and want to get that smooth shot, go for gimbal. But if you're like 95% of all gopro users, you'll just want to put it in a bag with no gimbals or gadgets and just want to record what you're doing, Hypersmooth is the way to go

[@jostafew]
