IMPROVE YOUR VIDEOS FOR $0.00

[@usmanmajid7837]

Final tip for professional videos: Use cats. Cats will immediately improve the quality of your video. Cats are naturally cinematic and almost always work in any given composition. Cat fur is the most colour grade-able type of fur in the world. Cat's already walk in slow-motion, so you don't need 120p.

[@SoonLuis28]

HAHAHAHA NICE

True, I once made a video with a cat in it, and got 1000x more views! No joke, the internet is made of cats

I remember one time in my high school media class a girl put together a video but had no idea that you had to render it out so she went up to present it and literally opened up her video editor, waited for the clips to load, and then pressed play while her macbook air struggled to play the first 15 seconds in realtime. I've never seen such disappointment on a teacher's face.

Back in the day when you created a computer program and pushed "Enter" to use it before you saved it, it deleted everything. When "Enter" or "Return" is what you would also use to use it. We all lost things a million times, lol.

I’m very interested in your tip about manual focusing. Personally I can see that as amateur as well. It would be cool to do a video about manual focusing like a pro because it’s pretty difficult and if you do it wrong it can look very amateur.

Pleaseeeee i Need you help mate, how do you shoot in such low light and not get any noise any grain in your videos.........We need a full tutorial on how to not get any noise, i shoot with my gh5s with 8-18 sigma 2.8 ap lens and get noise like crazy.....please help what am i doing wrong

[@GRNM-ro6hu]

Your Auto ISO is still turned on. Try to turn it off. And most of the "low light" condition on sets arent really low light. Light up your scene to a acceptable level for your camera/lense apeture without cranking the ISO up.

[@destinfarr]

Gold 👌 Just converted from PP on PC to FCPX on my iMac - will be supporting you with the LUTs purchase.

[@kazpaapzak8637]

Something I try to do when filming is shooting shots from perspectives normal people wouldn’t see everyday. For instance instead of shooting at eye level shoot at ground level or from a high angle.

[@doubleu1446]

That's cool!

Great tips man! Still love your classic trick of starting in focus, then slowly move away from the subject and reversing the whole clip in the end. Like it that you mention the branding part, shows how useful your marketing background is :)

Your speed ramping transition in this is really subtle/awesome. Do you have a tutorial on that?

Daniel great video with lots of great tips, you mentioned shooting in manual, could you do a vid with examples on shooting with manual lens, ie the best lenses to use, shutter speed, distance from you object to keep picture sharp. Using a gimbol. I am working on shooting more with manual lenes, fed up of thinking about how good or bad the auto focuse is on my GH5/Sony a7iii.

[@Mcmatthew99]

Use autofocus to get the camera to focus correctly on your subject, especially if it is yourself, but then change to manual once you have your desired focus setting. I trust the camera more to get the right focus but I trust myself to stay in focus once I fix it.

That is what we are good at!

Just wanted to say you and Mr. McKinnon push us to bring better content to our channel because we love sharing the experience with our viewers and there is no better way to do that then with epic videos! (We are still working on that part) lol

The fact that I don’t have to goto a fancy school to learn all this is definitely a motivator. Channels like this is the reason I spent everything I had on starting my production company, my first year as a director and you wouldn’t believe the progress I’ve made. #Xraycinema🎬

Hey! I think he used the Sony 16-35mm f2.8 GM at around 24mm. For the lighting, I think he used an Aperture 300D with a big diffuser on it. Hope this helps!

[@aephemerial]

Thank you for the tips, they're gold! I got a question: How can I focus myself when I'm the one that's filming and speaking at the same time? I'm currently using my iPhone7's front camera for a slightly better quality than the front one.

[@doubleu1446]

Hey! If you are not moving in your shot you could set your focus before you start shooting and then do your thing. If you are going to move however, then autofocus is probably a better solution. Hope this helps!

But I do music tutorials and just looking for different techniques and tips to improve my videos.
