- What's up guys?
today in this video we have an updated
2020 GoPro Hero 10 settings guide.
Now, the reason why we're making
a GoPro Hero 10 settings guide
is because you guys requested.
We have done a GoPro Hero 8, GoPro Hero 9.
And now, the GoPro Hero 10.
So in today's video, we wanted to share with you
a couple of our favorite settings
for action, for cinematic, hot topic, for underwater,
and also for vlogging,
just chatting to the camera.
Now yes, this camera does differ from the nine and the 10.
You probably, if you've checked out those other videos
maybe notice some similarities.
But if you've just picked up a GoPro Hero 10
well, this video is for you.
(bright music)
I can still remember the day
I first got my hands on the GoPro Hero 3 silver
and all I wanted to do was just get wet.
I just wanted to jump in the water
and just experiment with that thing.
Now the challenges I faced
is that as soon as I did that,
I got out of the water and I got out of snorkeling
and the experience that I was having
and the videos looked terrible.
So this video is really directed at beginners.
Hopefully, we can reason through some of the logic
and we can chat you through
how and why we set this camera up the way that we do.
But again, if you're advanced or you've been playing around
with the GoPro for the last number of years,
then definitely feel free to break the rules,
experiment and work out what best suits you.

- [Jake] If your GoPro is handy,
now is a great time to set up
a custom preset for underwater.
Now we love to shoot in 5.3K in 60 frames a second
so we can get those nice, buttery, slow motion shots.
Obviously with the highest frame rate.
The only other thing we'd recommend checking out
in the Protune settings is to use the GoPro color profile.
If you wanted to color grade the footage, we haven't
in this particular instance we are just using
the GoPro vibrant color profile.
And we think it looks great.
The other area would be to just bump up that bit rate
so you can get some nice, quality, crisp content
and save that as your first underwater preset.
And you are good to go.
- Before we dive a little too deep into setting,
one thing I wanna mention is the importance of knowing
what device you're gonna be using
to edit that footage, right?
So if you're shooting in 5.3K for example, or even 4K,
some older devices and some older phone
or even new generation phone,
actually can't support that file type.
So you want to keep that in mind.
We always recommend to use the highest frame size.
Obviously, it's better for archiving
and it just looks better.
But if it's not within the range of your device for editing,
then one easy workaround is to actually dial back
and to use 2.7K or 1080.
So keep that in mind.

- When it comes to underwater settings with the GoPro,
one of the most commonly asked questions we get
is in regards to dive cases.
Our answer mostly is no, we do not use them.
If you're swimming or doing anything in water
above 10 meters, then just go for it.
But if you are diving specifically below 10 meters.
You're going really deep into the depths of the ocean,
then yes, I would recommend using the dive case.
One of the things you will notice
as soon as you get the GoPro wet
is an exposure compensation
or exposure screen will show up on the back.
Now the best way to deal with this
is to simply press and hold
for I think like five seconds on the back panel,
and this spot meter screen will come up.
I like to set the exposure
just for the middle of the screen.
So I will just tap and hold the middle of the screen
so that every time I'm swimming,
it is gonna lock the exposure.

Testing the microphone once the camera is slightly wet.
Let's see if it picks up my voice.
And then once the camera gets wet,
testing the microphone now
that I have dumped the camera underwater.
It's important to note that if you want to talk to camera,
you have to let those microphones dry.
With the brand new GoPro Hero 10,
they have put some coating on front of the lens,
which repels water.
If you start licking the front facing screen
it is gonna get rid of that special coating
which repels the water.
Previous to the GoPro Hero 10,
I would've recommended that you lick the screen to clean it
before you take a shot or you dunk it
whenever you wanna get the water droplets off.
Cool new feature, you can replace these lenses as well
if yours isn't working so well.

If you guys have been enjoying this video,
we would love it if you could,
- Punch it, baby.
(Jake laughs)
- You could just take half second
and tap that button down there,
punch thumbs up button.
Did you do it?
You guys are legend.
Thanks legends.
We'll give you some more tips.
- Obviously, action cameras and are taking over the world
for vlogging, 'cause they're so easy to use.
So we have a couple favorite settings here.
It's shooting in 24 frames per second in 5.3K.
And so the reason we're doing that is,
- Well, you don't have to shoot 5.3K.
We obviously just love looking at ourselves
in more megapixels.
However if you prefer,
- Maybe him.
- If you prefer 4K or 2.7K
depending on what device you're editing, just use that.
But the point to raise here is
24 frames a second is really important.
Because if you're shooting 120 frames a second,
it's gonna chew up your GoPro battery
and your memory card space.
And the GoPro may even possibly overheat.
So keeping it on 24 frames a second while you're talking
and you not doing any action,
is the best frame rate to choose.
When it comes to the frame size, we reckon linear.

So when it comes to dialing in your action preset
for the GoPro Hero 10,
we recommend 4K 120.
Now you can either shoot this in wide or super view
depending on the action.
Our surfing shots were captured in wide.
However, if you are doing anything point of view
or from the mouth in the bite mount,
check it on super view.
For color, again up to your discretion.
But GoPro color in the vibrant profile
also looks really, really good.
Save and escape and away you go.
Do you guys hear that?
(upbeat disco music)
No, wait.

If you are picking up the vibes on this track
then you have to check out the sponsor of today's video,
which is Epidemic Sound.
Now that is one of my favorite tracks
from an artist named Ooyy.
He is consistently producing high quality music
that you can license for your social media, YouTube videos
and never get a copyright strike or claim again
because Epidemic Sound allow you to license this music
and use across all of your social media platforms.
It is the best service for content creators.
I find high quality music
for my GoPro vlogs, for my travel films,
for basically all the content that you see
on my social media,
I pretty much find all the tracks on Epidemic Sound.
One of the best parts about their service
in comparison to other music licensing services out there
is Epidemic offer a free 30 day trial.
So if you are new to the world of music licensing
or you're looking for cool tracks for your GoPro videos,
well, check out that top link in the description.
And yeah, I've even got a couple of playlists
and sound effects linked below.

- All right, now let's talk cinematic settings.
Those are my favorite.
I love anything that's cinematic.
And shooting cinematic footage with a GoPro
is a bit challenging.
But I have some tips for you.
So my first number one tip is actually to shoot
in flat and get creative in the editing room
and add layers of color.
It really gives you more freedom to do that
when you're shooting flat.
So that's definitely recommended.
Second thing is shooting in 60 frames per second.
That way you can slow down your footage
without encroaching on the quality.
So you can still shoot in 5.3K.
You can still shoot in 4K.
Last thing is to also,
has to do with the editing process
is to use the Ken Burns cropping method.
And that way you're just slowly zooming into footage,
which makes it look really cinematic.
- If you have made it all the way to this part of the video,
guys thank you for checking it out.
We really hope that this has helped with your GoPro content.
If you've just picked up one of these cameras
or if you've been in the game for a while,
we hope this has helped.
- Definitely.
And if you want to level up your GoPro content,
we really recommend you improve your transitions,
and we actually have a video that's just that
right there linked in the cards.
And yeah, check it out if you'd like.
- We'll see you guys in the next upload.
Peace.
