so today's video I'm going to show you the settings I used to get the best
video quality of the GoPro here seven black so stay tuned hey what's up
everyone its Dennis here if you're new here my channel is all about drone
product review videos and tutorial videos if that's something that you're
interested in do subscribe to my channel and turn on that notification button so
that you don't miss out on any of my new videos every week whenever I get my
hands on the new you know camera or drone I really get excited and I really
want to try out and test see what works and what doesn't work and so far I've
been playing around with the GoPro Hero 7 black to be using it for vlogging for
cinematic footage YouTube videos or online videos I'd like to see how the
footage is gonna look like you know with or without the color grading if it's
just a stock standard GoPro for profile how it's gonna look
versus a lightly colored graded or colored gray or heavily calibrated
footage some of the settings I'm gonna talked about and hopefully will give you
an understanding of how each of those attributes works again the settings that
I chose works well for me may not work well for you really depends on what
you're trying to achieve but hopefully this will give you an idea to prompt you
to try and experiment before I dive into the settings that I use let me show you
a quick cinematic sequence style shot earlier today now let me work ah
all right so the next step really show you the settings I've use and provide my
inputs there okay now I shoot all my sequences in there at 4k 60 frames per
second because I know I'm gonna change it in post or slow it down in post
sometimes I do shoot in 24 frames per second it really comes down to personal
preference especially if you don't necessarily need to slow it down but
looks up for this instance abuse 4k and 60 frames per second the Hybris mood
stabilization it's not actually available to all video resolution
settings for example if you go to 2.7 K let me drop this down 2.7 K 2.7 K you
know 120 frames per second ID say stabilization not supported as you can
see here fabulous ation hopefully you see that for 2.7 K at 60 frames per
second hardware smooth is enabled so yeah before you start shooting make sure
you're decided on whether or not you're gonna use the hot pressed mood
stabilization or no stabilization at all okay I definitely recommend hyper smooth
because it is awesome and it works fine now my field of view is always wide I
don't really play around with super view or the linear view because I like that
wide-angle look again it really depends on the style and how you want the
footage is gonna look like super view is you know it kind of stretches a 4x3
content into a full screen 16 by 9 shots it makes great for like if you're you
know mounting the GoPro into your body just to get that footage I don't really
use this you know that body gear such again if you are changing the field of
view it comes down to what resolution you are a super viewer or linear doesn't
really show up most of the time as well like if you're shooting in 4k 60 it's
only why that's available so you can see here well let me just press that see
there's no super V but if you change this to 6 30 frames per second 4k 30 and
you can see super view is there now okay so again make that conscious decision
before you start shooting so the next settings that we want to look at this
pro true if you don't know what protune is protein is kind of like the manual
settings for a DSLR where you can change a couple more
attributes in there few interested in color grading adding that cinematic
flair and creative creativity in the colors etc then you definitely need to
turn on that protein so I'm turning this on now and when you turn that on there
will be a couple more settings in there which I'm gonna talk a little bit more
the first one is the shutter you can change the shutter speed depending on
how you want I normally leave this in Auto have played around with the shutter
speed manually but end of the day you know that's one more one less thing to
worry about if I leave it in Auto I'm still getting good results even if I
left the shutter speed in Auto so yeah again I don't have an ND filter if I do
then I'll probably set it manually but yeah just my decision to leave it auto
and I'm still getting good results the next settings I'll change is the white
balance the white balance definitely you want to set this otherwise the girl pro
will start to hunt and change the white balance depending on where you go you
know suddenly if the environment lighting environment has changed then
the GoPro will automatically change the white balance there as much as possible
you want to set it so that it's the same throughout the footage preference would
be really to pick the specific white balance or temperature as as you see fit
when you're out there shooting now you know safest option the normally use on
the on a typical day is 5500 Kelvin sometimes I do use the native settings
and negative settings you letting the GoPro sort of add the minimum amount of
color correction that particular footage in a way it's similar to the flat
profile search again kind of like Auto but a subtle auto hopefully that makes
sense next one really is the eye eye so the minimum and maximum I cannot stress
how important ISO is so I will leave it at minimum at one hundred and maximum at
one hundred specially during daytime if I do shoot at night or a slightly low
light I will set the minimum at 100 steel but the maximum at about 400 now
sometimes I find the the GoPros brighten is still a bit too much so I do tweak it
a little bit down just a little bit at minus 0.5 sharpness I generally leave it
at low or medium I find a picture is really sharp with the GoPro so I tend to
lower it down so that if I do want to change it in post I can do it I still
have flexibility the color profile look if
you like the GoPro look then I'll leave it at GoPro but if you want to color
grade your footage or if your match your footage with your you know DSLR camera
or other cameras then I'll change it to flat and color graded myself raw audio
kind of leave that off I mean I don't really use the audio from the hero 7
most of the time I will deal link the audio and then you know I just want the
video in there anyway so I'll leave that at off the microphone it's Auto as well
and lastly and sometimes people forget about this is you can actually set the
exposure at a particular you know when you're shooting so if you hold the
screen will hold the screen at a particular object or points of interest
and then yes or no and now if I leave it at yes then closure is not gonna change
because you already looked at it those are the settings that I use to shoot my
cinematic sequence and if I want to color grade my GoPro Hero 7 footage and
those are the settings I use and hope you learned something today
again test and learn practice see what works what doesn't work look if you do
have any questions or if you'd there's something that you want to know a little
bit more feel free to comment down below that's really it for today thank you so
