Thoughts after Panama

[@WanderingKamya]

Dude you're like hypnotic. I find it hard to concentrate on videos to be honest but I was totally absorbed. Like listened to every day thing. Thanks yo.

[@TrevorVaubel]

This is great Kraig! Thanks for making it. I'm appreciating your work more and more. I loved what you did with WFS, and was sad because I thought we'd be missing your great BTS/Tutorials. But, this is even better for myself and I'm sure other folks who don't want wedding films to be the end all/be all. Thanks again!

[@TrevorVaubel]

P.S. I watched to the end and you asked, so I smashed that like.

[@smalltownsavouries]

Compound clip with the ken burns and speed ramp, oh yeah, that's exactly what I needed. Great job, Kraig, thanks again for sharing all your knowledge.

[@Amwfilms]

This video had a tremendous wealth of information.

[@mpclit]

Awesome explanation. I really shows everything you can do in FCP X plus all the cool places you filmed and how you managed to get those shots. This BTS shows exactly how much work it takes to make a clean product. Congrats.

[@ChristopherOdd]

Love this man. Would keep watching these on repeat!

[@alicia1593-u4t]

I love your videos and your style, but I've also learned so much from your channel. Thank you!

[@cedricdeurfilms]

Love all the info on that video about your editing, looking for more (behind the scene from some of your video, like what was your plan before filming, what did you have in mind, then again the editing process, I think its very instructive). Love it.

[@crawlinginfilm9683]

Vignette can be exacerbated on wide angle because light from edge-directions passes diagonally through the ND filter, hence a greater thickness of it, as compared to light from straight ahead.

[@DennisLovelady]

Wowsie, so much information, and so very well done! Excellent, excellent effort, Kraig! I've added this to my favorites, to make it easier to go back and review again. Thanks for this!

[@alyssaramirez9880]

Really liked this vid. I did notice the speed change at the beginning and end of the clips. And that fan shot totally stuck out in my mind for some reason. Inspired me to shoot something similar of LA!

[@michaelbrook4126]

Great work! You are just adding more and more value now! Thanks

[@RustyCoon]

Fantastic Video!! I really appreciate your insights into the entire filmmaking process for short films like this. Technical and technique and theory. Perfect!

[@ted_nemeth]

hey what a great narrative of your creative process. You spent a lot of time on it. many thanks. subscribed.

[@samvholt]

I actually really appreciated the speed ramps in the final video. I think you did it a tasteful amount and didn't overdo it. Nice one matey :)

[@BhupendarSingh]

good job!! detailed description and your thought throughout is very inspiring ....

[@marksutty111]

For someone who is just starting to learn Final Cut and techniques of editing clips together this was very interesting and informative thank you.

[@bradleycarranceja]

new sub, absolutely love your content, not sure how i stumbled across your channel but glad i did. original and fresh.

[@maf3695]

YES!!!!!!! This is the KRAIG ADAMS (wfs) that drew me. Love your tutorials and the way you teach us! I'm very happy in your courage to charge and wish you success!

[@lalouvisuals5664]

Thanks Kraig, this was really helpfull! Great cinematic shots and good talk about your editing workflow...

[@leoma7802]

you are awesome. Really love the way you feel the music. Now y help me to understand how music goes with the video

[@carterseverns]

This is awesome, great to see the strategy behind this one.

[@DimiArhontidis]

Great tips and the plucking and pulling up is clever! I also struggle with the order of my clips, I like how you mix locations and activities. I usually try to keep locations or activities in order which makes the edit harder and not as unexpected I guess.

[@valleyfilmsuk]

Loved the travel film. Loved that you were hired to make it. Love the bts goodness. Lots of Love. Lol

[@IamSuperic]

Please make a tutorial for the sony timelapse app :)))))

[@houditv]

Awesome info Kraig, thanks a lot 👍

[@MagnumVideos]

By the way, a big congratulations on getting that gig. That's very awesome!

[@schwamieboy1]

I actually love the look of the opening cut of Panama. Reminds me of a 60's Pan Am flight.

[@cwiklolo]

Loving this video!!!! not finished yet, but just wanted to comment that I couldn't hear the boat sound at all at ~9:20.

[@simolaf]

Hi Kraig, thanx so much for this excellent video. Tons of information and a lot to learn! Please do a tutorial on the sony timelapse app. Would love to see that.

[@pudsboi5203]

probably one of the most informative vids on the tube

[@PATRICIAPULIDONYC]

Love your videos, do you have a tutorial for speed ramps?? I would love to learn !

[@andrearock71]

I love your videos, I learnt a lot! thank you for sharing!

[@GuadaMolina]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@duncecapkid6250]

Super helpful, dude. Currently trying to cut my first travel video and I'm definitely going to be Ken Burns-ing it up.

[@amirnoien9973]

Hey Kraig , You are awesome guy , i really enjoying watching your video , thank you su much

[@lerner4596]

Super helpful video! I'll add my nodding head to the others who asked for the Sony time-lapse tutorial; that'd be sweet! Also, not sure if previous videos mention it, but care to elaborate on the filmconvertpro2 effects?

[@JonasToTheWorld]

Very interesting video. Thanks for this behind the scenes and all the tips :)

[@MagnumVideos]

Whoa! How did you do the shot with the iPhone at 27:34? That's one that has me baffled.

[@ScottSullivanTV]

Magnum - It’s all about lighting man. If you’re going selfie mode, face the sun. Not the camera. Your face, should be looking at the sun. It’ll make skin tones look so milky smooth.

[@MagnumVideos]

No. I'm talking about how he got the iPhone on the video with the images on the screen.

[@kyelight]

Another great BTS! I also enjoyed your mammoth 10hrs of BTS on editing on WFS, I learned a ton. In that 10hr one you talked a lot about storytelling with tiny sequences, how much of that did you do in this one? I know you mentioned you started with chronological order, but then changed things around. How? Often travel videos seem like random shots put together.

[@StephenSE9]

It's like a Sergio Leone approach to filmmaking; filming around the audio.

[@apost099]

Great video. These are so helpful. Thanks again!

[@JohnLuna]

thanks for sharing the thought process!

[@leetipton]

Great video. I'm in my own infancy with Final Cut Pro X. This video has been quite useful for me. Thank you.

[@ericmurphy1646]

Man what a fun video! Thanks for sharing. Question, how did you do all those fun transitions?

[@cheuk9453]

I'm not even a video maker but this is so interesting and educational to watch :)

[@whoismatt]

And now I wanna go to Panama.

[@idgproductora6285]

you will be super welcome Matt, Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. let me know if you come to panama, maybe we can capture some shots as good as the Kraig video jaja

[@camblyth]

Love this tutorial style. Great film too! Have you tried favourites and tags in FCPX? I used to do the string out like you explained but find the built in tagging super handy, especially for bigger projects.

[@LifeVideoProd]

I'm here to bug you about making a time-lapse app tutorial. Thank you please

[@LanceRoylo]

Solid breakdown Kraig👍🏼

[@DorzCreativo]

You should come to PANAMA, it is beautiful!!

[@zenekk]

thank you Kraig! Greetings from Poland :)

[@saenzphotography]

Im from Panama..I love the video bra...You did so well! This is Panama!

[@BokehFilmStudios]

Awesome Kraig! Still No PP -3, 0, 0? Haha, I mean...you did call it at the end : )

[@BeerBarBeyond]

Noob question - but what plug-in do you use to apply Luts in FXP and where did you get the Fuji LUT?

[@44ThaNatos44]

Thank you very very much for this step by step :)

[@adameccleston5627]

Kraig, did you have any issues with getting drone into Panama, what procedures did you have to follow.

[@dylantollefson]

I'm going on a trip from ef college break pretty soon and I can't wait to make my own travel film there with these tips in mind

[@KeyMomentsOnlineCOM]

Challenging to shoot out a window of an airplane. It's always dirty on the outside in my experience. Any tips on getting a clean shot?

[@srodalmenaramusic]

Hey bro, I'm living in Panama City! Unfortunately, I've just met your channel a couple of weeks ago, If I had known you were coming here before I helped you to shoot your videos. I work in food photography and videos but, anyway next time, let me know.

[@AeroVisual]

Not using color finale anymore? is worth the switch to film convert? thank you Kraig! awesome edit loved the travel film!!!

[@roxisarobot]

AeroVisual interesting question!

[@PATRICIAPULIDONYC]

yes, i would also like to know about Color Finale

[@thangasaravanan]

as you said the full time youtuber how you manage your living by this channel only or any other medium of sales or something too. if so how much you make please tell as average from this channel ( why because i like to turn a full time youtuber job) so plz response . i am waiting for your reply

[@DiqaunColeman]

I watched the travel film and it was AWESOME! Although I miss it, I support your decision for ditching Wedding Film School to follow your heart and produce more content, i.e Panama Travel Film. Keep up the great work!

[@barraoc8067]

Very helpful vid man! Thanks and just subscribed

[@MateoToro]

no more polar pro filters & what did you pack as far as bags for your gear?

[@lianarickert9114]

What’s the name of the app where you make the travel videos

[@Thailand-Wanderer]

interested in Sony time-lapse app tutorial!

[@thegarveys]

Do you miss canon at all? Have you ever considered the C200 or 1DX?

[@alejandropargaa]

Great video..very informative. I was thinking of doing a travel film when i head to cuba this month. Few questions. 1. Did you use a snorkling filter for the gopro? If not, do you wish you had used one? 2. Did you use ND filters while flying the mavic? Thanks, and keep up the great work Kraig!

[@valleyfilmsuk]

Flip that f1.1 lens looks pretty insane. In your opinion is it worth the buck? Cheers

[@medicineandmatcha]

as someone who makes videos just for the memory when i go on vacation, this helped so much. maybe my videos can have a little more variety and thought. thx :)

[@leoma7802]

Pls make a video about how you feel the music and put it in different scenes and talk about the reason you chose that scene with that beat. Thanks

[@GravityGamesHD]

Another awesome video! I have a question though: how long do you film your timelapses? And pls tutorial for the Sony app :D I bought it a year ago and it's still confusing to me

[@GustavoPolo]

This video is gold man! Thanks :)

[@paulwilson3434]

Good deal buddy. You are on your way to the big time

[@vjsbgg]

Great video Kraig! Keep going ;)

[@Amwfilms]

Loving this video so far!!!!!

[@roxisarobot]

This video was so helpful! Thank you for going into so much detail!!! :) this was really good to watch! I would love to know what camera setting you use for the Sony while shooting! Also do you sharpen in post? And do you only change the settings for slow motion for specific shots?

[@VoltesWithElias]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@HerbHerbHerbert]

Sup Kraig I'm thinking about moving from Premiere Pro to FCPX, but a major reason that i use Premiere is that i can use adjustment layers to add a grade to the whole video. Is there any way to do this in FCPX?? Thanks

[@SchwalmPictures]

Thank you Kraig! :)

[@adameccleston554]

Kraig, great video, what LUT tool are using?

[@markshirley01]

Kraig when you mention controller for the Mavic instead of using a phone and wifi, do you mean the controller that connects to your phone that comes with the Mavic or is there a bespoke controller.

[@utah62]

Very interesting tips, thanks.

[@nichmlee]

timelapse app tutorial plz

[@MagnumVideos]

Great video Kraig. Question: When you do a video in changing light, do you keep AWB on the full time or do you set it at a specific kelvin and shoot it that way so it doesn't adjust as the light changes?

[@UnlimitedSquirez]

Did you plan your shots before you shot them, or did you shoot spontaneously? Did you have the basis of the film in your mind or did you just go for it? NEED THEM ANSWERS YO

[@JohnLuna]

Andres my takeaway is that he just went for it. likely planned here and there for angles and movement. planning ahead of time is your best bet for good visuals.

[@lukasj.walker2755]

Hey, With which settings did you do the night timelapses and with which camera? Thanx bro

[@ishpribehindthescenes2766]

Great Video! Subscribed!

[@GrantJ]

Great insight thanks

[@Docheadonis1]

Hey I was wondering, how do you get the black bar on the top and bottom for the whole video?

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Doche Adonis add and adjustment layer and use the letterbox effect

[@StephenGinman]

man, how long did ot take for you to finish the edit after your trip?

[@yichao8939]

Hold on, if your video is in 4K, how did u do all the slow motion shots? a7R ii only shoot 4K in up to 29,97fps, right?

[@Majizzy]

Did you also use a steadycam?

[@0904betty]

this is quite useful!! thanks you!!

[@jerodelsur]

Hi Kraig, what do you use to record you + having the final cut in your back? Thanks for sharing good content

[@miketeves]

I felt sick after seeing how much that variable ND filter is lol.

[@CamdenJProductions]

Mike Teves that $500 was a combined kit price of the lens and the variable ND

[@miketeves]

Camden Johnson oh thank God. I guess I didn't look too much into it haha.

[@santaminji]

I love this!!!

[@Germannn]

Love your titorials

[@marekjaworski5965]

hi Kraig. Because of your awesome work and postpro I was going to buy ColorFinale, now I see you are using FilmConvert and I'm confused. Which one you'd recommend?

[@BasedOnLiberty]

I was thinking the same thing

[@marekjaworski5965]

SerenityNow, I still hope Kraig will answer but I did my homework and looks like FilmConvert is better, for me at least. 1. you can adjust WB 2. just pick what camera you was using and the software is doing magic. Than you can tweak it further. Probably there is more but this convince me enough to try this plugin. Looks like you can find deals/sales online for it to get it 1/3 cheaper (in the price of ColorFinale) but for now I'll just download it for free as trial to play.
