Z CAM Overview Part Two: Footage & LUTS

[@PJDreams]

This series is perfect for anyone thinking about picking up one of these camera. Much needed, great job and keep them coming!

[@vistek]

Thank you!

[@dantracyoriginals]

This plug in is a LIFE CHANGER. I have been struggling with manipulating color using the LUTs in Premiere, and this is a game changer. Gonna start using my ZCAM for vlogs. ha

[@travelbagphotography]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I struggle with colour correction as I am colour blind and this helps huge!

[@carldai4541]

I just got my z cam yesterday. The z cam color plugin for davinci resolve is amazing!

[@magnuspeterson66]

Where can you find the plug in?

[@billgreen4592]

Thanks for this video! I found it super helpful as a new Z-cam user! BTW, I LOVE your footage and I hope to see you final documentary.

[@fujifilmsfashionphotograph8738]

Nice work great camera

[@ianbrittain]

Thanks Kyle! Your insight is really well done, clearly explained and shown properly with a nice snappy and simple flow. Appreciate your work definitely subscribing to your channel

[@heckmueller]

That footage you are using looks amazing! Is the video already out? Would love to see the whole thing! :)

[@vistek]

Thanks! Not yet. Our F6 review will be up in the next week or two.

[@saltdogmedia4204]

looking forward to it

[@genesisfilms_at]

this is incredible! Really looking forward to get our hands on one to! What settings did you use for the shots you made? & which lens was used there? looks absolutely amazing

[@joenicklo]

Love the overview man. Shots look awesome too BUT watching someone grade in Premiere is so painful.

[@rivirsawyer]

This is awesome thanks Kyle. Where can we find the full video you're editing in this? Looks so cool

[@yusuftripleafilms]

Good review. Great footages.! Cool Z.

[@blaylock1978]

Great video. Thanks for sharing it. I was originally looking at the S6 but because I need better low light will now go for the F6. The original lens I was looking at was the Sigma 18-35 F1.8. But I believe that’s not full frame. Any recommendations on a full frame lens that’s equivalent for the F6? Thanks in advance.

[@llvideos6268]

Great video bro! I’d like to know what lenses do you use (model, etc) and what settings did you prefere recording like (4k/60, 6k/30). I am asking you because it seems like you understand a lot about this camera since you are using a while now. Thanks and keep making z cam videos. 🤞🏼

[@vividmotion66]

Looks so good mate. You shot all in ProRes internally, right? Does the ZlogColor work under Davinci Resolve? Also what lenses did you use on that shot?

[@tamjeedbazan8835]

Thanks for the overview. I'm really looking forward to know the workflow of Zraw footage of F6. Did anybody did Zraw gread test ?

[@hzubovi1]

First Z cam footage that looks very good, 8:04 really nice lighting setup. Reminds me of Lord of The Rings. 8:06 getting a lot of noise here, probably because of youtube compression

[@palpafilms]

These are great, I’ve only just bought the z cam e2 f6. Are you still using it? Have the firmware updates been good?

[@MrKermitt71]

You say you exposed by eye. Did you used lut conversion on your monitor or did you exposed zlog ? zcam are really great cameras !

[@clarkeleland7888]

Nice highlight bloom on the windows at 8:00 - curious if it's the result of lens characteristic, or did you use a filter (like Black Pro Mist), or was there something else that produced that effect?

[@SportFlow]

Great video, BTW, what font are you using in your video lowerthirds? Looks clean!

[@imiy]

would love to hear about the raw capabilities

[@Lomiler]

dude , loved your contax tshirt.

[@samuelguce]

Hey wonder if you could help me? I'm having problems with figuring out when filming whether to use waveform on Native zlog2 image to determine exposure or do I put the rec709 monitor LUT on and then determine my exposure (false colour/waveform) based on that? rec709 LUT much darker than zlog2 so which one do I trust to get best exposure?

[@yveslacroixproductions]

nice footage.

[@matthewvonblerk9675]

is that snow outside? great review can't wait to get my hands on it soon

[@kingofthejungleo]

It looks amazing. I've heard zcam images are noisy in dark areas compare to other brands, how do you finding it?

[@trentonharrisphotos]

If you overexpose about 2 stops it will clean up the noise in the shadows

[@chrisvantassel8867]

so I am a total newb to shooting vid, having to learn to save costs. I bought an E2 etc. how do you or can you preview your footage on the camera or the external monitor?

[@SkatingFreely]

Thanks for the video. Where did you get the shirt?

[@joshkiddfilms1295]

still feeling this camera? Seriously considering it

[@muhammadkhattak8098]

what ProRes version do you recommend to optimize image quality x file size; i'm on LT right now but can do up to Proxy

[@saltdogmedia4204]

can you maybe mention your lens choices... seems your a contax guy... but is that what these images were captured on?

[@TJ-TJ]

You said you had a Black Magic (PCC?), are you going to switch to Z cam?

[@pogoprofilms]

I don't know if this is right or not and you've probably already found the answer, but the Saturation Correction looks like it's desaturating the shadows to me.

[@СтаниславЛевакин-м7л]

Which Lut should I use for for ProRes RAW in Premier Pro? ( Shooting Z-CAM E2S6+Atomos Ninja5)

[@vistek]

HI there. I would suggest which ever converts from Zlog2, which is what I'm assuming your RAW colour gamut is assigned to. You should also consider using the Z-cam Premiere Pro plug in. - D

[@vipersnake94]

What lens did you use? Thanks! :)

[@rollyladd3652]

Could you please tell us what lens you used on this particular shoot ???

[@rollyladd3652]

And who is the Metal Worker in your video ?

[@BadazzReviews]

When you downloaded the luts, how did you get them into the program?

[@chang8974]

Brett did you figure this out how to load to premiere?

[@airindiana]

Hi mate. Super basic question. I’ve got FCPX. I’m trying to download the Zlog correction plugin. When I click download next to it it brings two files into downloads. I think they’re zipped. Where do I put them to get the plugin to work?

[@vistek]

Hi There. Not sure if we can adequately answer your question. Your best resource for all Z-Cam questions is the Z-Cam Facebook Group. It's run by Z-Cam and they answer questions very quickly.

[@fhr44]

Is z camera approved in netflix ?

[@chang8974]

Can you help me out. How do you load or install to premiere? Please help

[@RedEyrisFilms]

Why I cant import my FOOTAGE on my mac? It doesn't show up in the folder. Any idea?

[@vistek]

Hi REF, I have a MAC and I haven't encountered any issues. Are you maybe talking about Z-raw? But even in the case of Z-raw, you can still see the file, you just simply need their raw converter (available for mac OS on their site). I recommend you join the Z-Cam community page on Facebook. It's moderated by the company and you can ask all sorts of questions and get answers pretty quickly. Best of luck! - D

[@samuelguce]

can't get the plugin to work on premiere - could I be missing something?

[@exoticcarlife2904]

Same here, any luck yet? edit: had to update my OS

[@robgamble1083]

I dont understand how to get the plugin into premiere pro if you could help with that by anychance

[@vistek]

Hi Rob. I had no problem getting it installed. All the information is available on their website at point of download. What issue are you having? - D

[@robgamble1083]

@@vistek I actually figured it out/ well not Really it just started to work in it’s own

[@ifilm6746]
