1. 2.1.0 - Preface: Hi, everybody. I'm
really glad you're here. My name is Ron, and I'm a
professional videographer, specializing in luxury
properties and real estate. I shoot hundreds of
properties every year, and I've really refined
my shoot process. In this course, I'm
going to show you how to shoot this home from
start to finish. We'll go over what
gear you need, what your camera
setting should be, and the techniques I
use to get the shot. And although I've tailored this workshop around
the Sony camera, specifically the Sony A seven S three or the Sony FX three, the principles I teach are universal and are
camera agnostic. You'll accompany
me to these homes, and I'll show you everything
that I see during my shoot. No gatekeeping. I'll also show you my post
production process. I'll show you how I edit
inside DaVinci Resolve, revealing all my
project settings. And then we'll switch over to
the color grading process, and we'll color correct the
entire project together. My real estate and
luxury property videos have really turned heads, and I have elevated my
business to a whole new level. I'm excited to share with you everything I've
learned on my journey.
2. 2.1.1 - Our Project: After taking this course,
you'll have the tools necessary to confidently video shoot
real estate properties. The assignment for this course
is to shoot your own home. Your home may be a
single family dwelling, an apartment, or even a mansion. It doesn't really matter
because the principles I teach are universal
to any property, no matter the square footage. So here's what I want
you to do first. First, watch my course. For me, I really love to see the entire process and see how it all fits together
from start to finish. Others of you, you
may want to pick and choose which chapters
suit you the best. Either way is fine with me. Then I want you to pull
out your own camera and shoot your home
with my techniques. Set your camera settings
just like mine and shoot like how I will teach
you to shoot in my course. And finally, I want you to
put it all together into a final edit and export that
movie for all of us to see. Don't worry if your
house is a mess or isn't stage ready or
anything like that. Remember, this is
just so you can get familiar with how to
properly shoot homes. So sit back, get ready to take a few notes and
join me now as I show you my method on how to shoot professional
real estate videos.
3. 2.1.2 - Introduction: Hi, everybody. I am Ron and I love shooting
real estate videos. We want to thank our friends
at Toll Brothers for allowing us to shoot this
home for this Satorial. I'm going to take you from
start to finish shooting this entire home and then finishing it off in
post production. I'm going to show
you all my secrets and all of my shortcuts and tips and tricks on how I shoot real estate properties
just like this one. So let's go ahead and go
inside and check it out. The first thing that
I'm going to do before I do anything else, I'm going to go ahead
and get all the lights turned on in the house, and after I get all
the lights turned on, I'm going to go ahead
and do a quick cell phone tour just so that way I kind of have a quick
layout of the house. And because I shoot so
many houses in a day, it's a really great
reference file for me to basically re walk the house in my mind and refresh my memory as to
where everything's laid out. So let's go ahead
and get the lights on and take our cell phone tour. But before you get in the house, make sure you take
off those shoes. Respect to home. As I'm going around getting
the lights on, I'm looking around just to make sure that everything
looks really nice. So some of these pillows,
I can tell have been sat on from past visitors. So I'm just gonna
make sure everything is looking really good. We want this home to
look it's absolute best. A lot of times, these side table lamps
will get forgotten. We're just about there.
It's like the wind. Got some of this stuff. So that takes care of our
initial walk through. Let's go and go through
the house again and do a quick cell phone
tour just so we have a reference
layout of the home.
4. 2.1.3 - Gear Overview: So, for those of you who have watched my previous courses, you may have noticed
that I shoot primarily on Black
magic cameras. Well, I'm happy to
say that I have moved over into the Sony line, not to say that Black
magic isn't great. I just find that,
as I have grown in my journey in
videography for homes, I have found that the Sony line has suited my needs
very, very well. The main reason is I only
need to use one lens. For some of you, switching
lenses may not be a big deal, but when I'm shooting
five to six houses a day, not having to switch
a lens and rebalance my gimble every single time
is a game changer for me. Another reason that
I've switched to the Sony line is for
clear image Zoom. It has the ability to
basically tick my 16-35. And using clearimage Zoom, it basically changes a 16
to 35 into a 16 to 50. So 16 to 50 all on one lens. It also has an amazing
dynamic range, and added to that
capability, it has two native ISOs. If you're shooting
on the A seven S three, the first native ISO is 640. The second is at 12,800. On the FX three, it is base
ISO at 800 and at 12,800. Really, really handy
when it comes to real low light situations or where light is just
not on your side. These cameras have
proven time and time again that not only is
their color science great, but the capability to
be able to shoot in less than ideal
lighting situations. And so for me, that is
why I have moved on from the Black Magic line to
the Sony line of cameras. So that being said,
let's go and talk about the gear in a
little bit more detail. I'm specifically shooting
on the Sony FX three, and it is just like the Sony A sevens three
in terms of sensor size. The big difference is this
guy has a fan because I will hit up to five to six
houses a day for videos. And the one drawback
of the A sevens three is that it can't have
a tendency to overheat, at least that's what
it says online. It's actually never
happened to me personally. In order to mitigate that
issue or that potential issue, I went ahead and went with
the Sony FX three line just so that way I
can have a cooling system for my camera. In terms of the lens, I am
using the 16 to 35 lens. And in terms of the Gimble, I am using the DJI RS three P. One thing that I like to really pair with my
gimble is this handle. It's just a $20 or $30 handle
that I got off on Amazon. I really like it. It's really
sturdy and it acts as a kind of like a steering
wheel for my gimble. Another piece of
gear that I highly recommend is having a monitor. Normally, I have a Adams
Ninja five on here. You can use any monitor, really, as long as you can output
what you can see here into a bigger format here because these screens
are pretty small, and it's hard to gauge what you're truly focused on on that. Currently, I'm using my phone
as my monitor because I want to be able to record what
is happening in my camera. And one last piece of gear that is a must is an ND filter. You got to have an ND filter
paired with your 16 to 35. Because I'm taking
it on and off a lot, I am using this magnetic filter that I can quickly slip on, adjust my ND, and then I
can also quickly slip off. I literally just keep it
in my back pocket and it's nice and safe right there. That's the
gear that I use. So an overview. The
gear that I use is a Sony FX three or a
seven S three, 16 to 35 RS three handle, and
then a monitor for nailing focus and an ND
filter to help with exposure.
5. 2.1.4 - Camera Settings: Real quick, let's talk about what your camera
settings need to be. First off, we are shooting in four K 60 frames per second. You don't need to be shooting
in four K. You can shoot in ten ADP at 60
frames per second, but I prefer four K because I feel that it's a
little bit sharper. But I used to shoot in ten
ADP, and that is just fine. For ISO, since this is
specific to the Sony line, you have two native IOs where
it is basically noise free. For the FX three, that is
ISO 800 and ISO 12,800. And if you're shooting on
the Sony A seven S three, that is IO 640 and IO 12,800. Those are your clean IOs. So if you ever see
me at an ISO value, it's going to be
either 800 or 12,800. Those are going to be
my IOs for everything. My aperture, I
usually like to keep my aperture between
5.6 to 11 point. Somewhere in between there, the lowest aperture I would go safely is maybe 4.0 if
I absolutely had to, but 5.6 to 11.0, that is I'm really happy in that range and Fate
being my sweet spot. If you can always get
Fate as your aperture, then that'd be awesome. Four K 60 F eight
for your aperture, and your ISO will either
be either 640 if you're in a seven S three or 800
if you're on the FX three, and then the high base is
12,800 for both cameras. Those are your camera settings.
6. 2.1.5 - Camera Settings Cont: Alright. In this video, we're
going to talk a little bit more in depth about
my camera settings. So let's go through the menu and go through all the
settings real fast. I'm going to show my
menu through my phone. I made a little rig
so you can see it. So I'm just going to show
you exactly what I see. Okay, so let's just go
through the menu settings. Alright. Image quality obviously
is going to be four K, and that's the setting
that I like it on and the movie settings at 60 P with a record
setting of 42210 Bit. That's really important. I don't do anything with SNQ. Proxy, that's a discussion
for another time. But these cameras can shoot proxy footage simultaneously
as you're shooting. Let's see. Di Media. No. File settings. I do like to put a
title name settings. I like to call my
cameras what they are. So on the title name settings,
I put a seven S three. It's just kind of handy when I'm looking through my footage. Shooting mode, make sure that
you're on manual exposure. Okay. Shutter silence,
audio recording. I usually record audio. Okay, image stabilization. Make sure that your
image stabilization is set to steady
shot standard, okay? So, right now, it's set
on steady shot standard. When you set it to active, you actually lose a lot more. Let me show you understand. Standard, active,
standard, active. So you lose a lot more of your frame so keep it on standard, and that'll that'll
do what you need. Zoom. Okay. Um, Oops. So, Zoom, I have Not that one. You want the second
one. You want to make sure that it's set
for clearimage Zoom. Again, I'm using the 16 to 35. Now this is an older 16 to 35. On my FX three, I have
my 16 to 35 GMster two. This is a ZsFour 16 to 35. Works great, and still
looks really beautiful. Just make sure that your
Zoom range is set to Clearimage Zoom and
we'll talk about, like what buttons
I mapped that to. Oh, Zoom speed. Yeah, variable. Fixed speed at three,
fixed speed at three. Zoom speed, I like it on fast. So zoom in, Zoom out. So I usually will punch in
to 35 and then zoom in, and now it's like 50. So in my videos, you'll always see
me like, Alright, I'm at 16. I'm super wide. Now I want to punch in to 35,
and then I want even more. And now I'm at 50 with
that clearimage zoom. So pretty nice to have that
range that focal range. And I like it to be fast.
So that's why I have it set to eight. Okay. Shooting display.
I like to have it on and I have my diagonals
and square grid on. It's just nice to be able to
compose the shot and you can see really quickly if things are either askew or not horizontal or if your
verticals aren't vertical. So keep those grid lines on. I don't do anything with marker. Alright, next one, exposure. Let's see. Don't do anything
with that metering mode. I leave it on spot. White balance. I like it as
a temperature Color tone. Okay, so this is important. On your picture profile,
you want to make sure that you're on
picture profile eight. I mean, make sure you're
on picture profile eight. It's an aggressive
picture profile and great dynamic range. So make sure you're on PP eight. Zebra display. I have
it on currently. I'll show you how I map that. And the zebra levels
really important. So this is where we talk
about C one and C two. So you want C one to be set
at 44 plus or minus three, and C two, 94 plus. Okay? And I talk about that
in the course as to why. But that's the levels that
they need to be set at. Let's go to AF MF. So make sure that if you have auto focus like switches on
your lenses, turn them off. You don't want auto
focus triggering on. You want to stay
manually focused. Okay? See if my focus
mode is manual. Focus area. I mean, I
just leave it on spot. You can be whatever. I don't
really do much with that. Focus assistant, I do like the focus magnifier
on. Let's see. And the initial focus
magnification is at one. So that's what I like it as. I believe I have it set
to my middle button, so that middle button triggers
that focus magnifier, and then I can really
punch in if I wanted to. Peking display so this is
good to be able to see. Peking display, you have it on. I usually leave it at mid, and then there's
a peak in color. Let me show you
what it looks like. So right now, let
me see. Is it on? Yep, my peaking is on. I'm going to grab this
dead cat for my mics. And I'm going to put it here.
And there's a bunch of, like, little hairs on it. And so it's like, this is a good thing to be able
to see focus peaking. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to manually
adjust the focus. Let me turn off the zebra. And there you go. See See that red fringe as I move around it. That's what I have in focused. So here now I'm going to adjust the focus
knob on my lens. But, yeah. That's focus peaking,
really, really handy. Especially if you
don't have a monitor, that's how you can try to
really nail your focus. I still recommend a monitor
100%, get a monitor. If not, use your phone and get the Monitor plus app.
Works really good. Um, let's see. What else we got? That's for auto focus. Okay, so let's talk about
where I am mapping these two. So for my zooming in and out, like I said, I have the
C one and the AF on. So zoom in, Zoom out. So normally, I will zoom
out all the way to 16, and then I'll zoom in at 35. And if I want a tighter reach, then I'll punch in
with clear image Zoom. Now, the mistake I always end
up making is I'll be like, Okay, and I'm going
to go back to 16. Well, I forgot to zoom
out with claimage Zoom. So I'm not really at 16. I'm at 16 times 1.5,
whatever that is. And so make sure that
when you zoom out, that you also zoom out
of cleimage Zoom, okay? You just got to make
that a muscle memory. Um let's see. For C one and C two, I actually have my trash can, my trash can button set to that. And so my trash can, I can choose C one or C two. So let's say I'm indoors. I want to choose C one. If I'm outdoors, I'm going
to choose C two. Okay. I also have it
set here in my FN menu. So my FN menu, I can turn
on my Zebra display, and then I can also
choose C one or C two. I just have them right
beside each other. For peaking, I have it
here on my FN display, and I can turn it on or off. I usually leave it
on just so you know. ISO. I mean, I just
use let's see. Let me make sure you guys can
see this. I just use this. I mean, already it's
already mapped on here. So whenever I switch ISO, that's how I'm switching ISO is the one that's already
on the scroll wheel. Um What else? Let's go here. So this is where you can set up your custom your custom keys. So make sure that you're
in the video one. And then here in the rear my white balance temperature
is the control wheel. So I like to be able to adjust my temperature quickly
just using the wheel, so I can be like,
Hey, we're outside, so this needs to be at 5,600. Hey, we're inside, but
there's a ton of windows. It's about 5,000, maybe 4,900.
Hey, we're in a bathroom. There's no windows, and
it's just, you know, this kind of lighting, 3,300, okay? I can quickly change it. It's not I mean, it's accurate enough since
we're suiting NSLog three, but I can quickly change it to what I already know it will be close to what it
should be, okay? Um Custom key setting. I already talked about
my zebra levels. So this is where I can
choose C one or C two. Right there. Number six. Um, What is number five? Oh, I think this is, to turn off This is to
turn off manual focus. Every now and then,
this lens will go back to auto focus.
I don't know why. So I set a quick key to just always make sure that
it was on manual focus. Like I said, we're always
manually focusing, guys. Um, Let's see. Like I said, my
focus magnifier is the middle the
middle of the wheel. So if I wanted to
punch in really quick, I can just hit the
middle, hit it again, and then I can really
get a fine focus. So that comes in really handy. I can also let's see. Yep. What is this peeking Oh, peeking display on and off. I can turn on my peeking
display with my down button. Right there. What else? Oh. So this button up here, the C C two button, this is for my steady shot. So sometimes I will
just turn it off. But normally, 99% of the time, I just
leave it on standard. Just don't do it on active. You don't need it to be on
active. Just stay on standard. And that is here,
and it's number two. So that's what I set number
two as is my steady shot. Anyway, that's all of
my customizable keys that I have on my camera. So feel free to set it up how
you like it or copy mine. You are welcome to do it
verbatim, how I did it. But hopefully, that helps
you out as you are shooting, and I'll talk to you
in the next video.
7. 2.1.6 - Nailing Exposure and Focus: So here we are. We are at
1/1 25th at four K, right? Because because since
we're shooting at 60 francs per second, we
need to double our shutter, so we are going
to be at 1/1 20th or 1/1 25th, in this case. And then the sweet
spot in my situation, I want it to be at F eight. ISO 800 isn't doing it for us, so I am going to switch
over to ISO 12,800. Anywhere where there are zebras is going to be
in proper exposure. Now, how is it registering that? The best way to show you is
using false colors, okay? So here in false color, anywhere that is
green, green is good. Green is where we
are looking good. But right now I'm at my
Iris, my F is at 20. So like I said, you
want your iris to be between F 5.6 to F 11. So this is where our
ND filter comes in. So when we put our ND
filter on, see that? See how our colors are changing. You want it to be green, okay? So I'm going to try to
get it around F eight, and right now, right now,
that's actually pretty good. I'm getting the green there. So wherever there is green, that's actually where
my zebra values are. So my zebra values
are right there. So exact same place as
where it was green. And so that's why setting my zebra values at
those levels is exact. So what you're trying
to do, if you're doing interior and you're
trying to expose for this room, try to get the things that you want to be in proper exposure, try to have the zebras on them. So, see, I have
zebras on my walls, I have zebras down
here in my carpet. So I know those things
are in proper exposure. If I was using false color, that is also saying, Hey, these are the things that
are in proper exposure. So that's why we set those
zebra values at those levels. Now if I was pointed outside and let's say I
wanted to expose for outside, that is what C two is for. So I'm going to switch
over from C one to C two. Now, my zebras are out here. So anywhere there are zebras, that means it's clipped. It's overexposed. We're
losing information. And so now I'm going to use my ND filter and
actually still have some. Why? Because I'm ISO 12,800. So I'm going to go
now to 12,000 or to ISO 800 and then open up my ND. And there's a couple
breaks in the cloud that are overexposed. I actually don't
mind that because the sun literally
is right there. But the majority is still
there's still detail there. So because I'm exposed
for the outside, let's say I'm focused out here and the outside is
what I'm looking at. Then that is saying the only places that is clipped information are these tiny white portions
in the cloud, which I actually don't mind because that's where the sun is. So I'm not trying to
expose for the sun. I'm trying to expose for
these things out here. And so that's what that means. So C one is for interior, C two is for exterior, and that is where that is how
you properly nail exposure. Now, nailing focus. So let's go ahead and
get proper exposure for this interior again. So I 12,800 let me get my zebras where
they need to be. I'm not seeing zebras
because it's too bright. There, I got my ND filter on, zebras are showing there. So that is properly exposed. Now, for focus, I can
either turn on my peaking. Okay? And I can now
see where it's red. That means that's
where it's in focus. But because this is a
nice nice big monitor, I can literally just look at it, and I can tell with my eyes
that that is perfectly sharp. And so that's why I
say I recommend having a nice big monitor rather than having this
small little monitor trying to gauge to see
if things are in focus. So that is how you
get proper exposure, and that is how you
nail focus. Alright? So we're going to be doing
that all throughout. So let's go ahead and
hit this property using these principles in mind, and I will always try to
call out what I'm doing. But if you do have
a question, you can always just look at
my screen that I'm recording for you
and you can see what my exact
settings are as well. Alright, let's go ahead
and start shooting.
8. 2.1.7 - Kitchen: Alright, it is time
to shoot this home. We are going to start
with this living room. So here in this living room, anytime I shoot a living room, I usually like to shoot nice
and wide right off the bat. So I'm going to go ahead
and get my exposure. I'm going to turn on my zebras, and let's see, F Yep. F ten is looking good.
I am going to stay at 5,100 K for my white balance. ISO is at 800, and I'm going to make sure
my focus is nice and sharp. Very good. So I'm going to
go ahead and do my move. Right now, I have my cross
hairs over my coffee table, and I'm basically going
from corner to corner ish. So I want to go and do my move. One thing to really
keep in mind is to keep your horizontals and your
verticals nice and straight. So especially your verticals. This is why I shoot
with the RS three. I like to make sure
that I am on Pan focus, not on FPV or PTF. And then I like to use
this trigger on here. So this trigger, I'm
going to double click, and I'll make sure that
it's nice and straight. I keep my grids on
so that way I can see that everything is nice and straight. So I'm going
to go and do that. Move one more time, now that I know that everything
is nice and straight, everything's in focus, and
looks nice and beautiful. I'm going to go ahead and get my detail shot while
I'm over here. So I'm going to punch in at 35. And then I'm going to
use Clear Image Zoom to basically be at 50. And from there, I'm going
to go and do my slide. Beautiful. And I'm holding my trigger down
because on the RSC, if you hold that trigger down, it'll make it to where the head won't go up
and down at all. So that's a nice little detail. Let's go to the other side.
I am gonna increase to F 11. That's looking good. Now
I'm gonna go just go backwards. Just like that. Beautiful. I usually
like to take a couple of takes. Very nice. Um, let's see if there's any other shots of
the living room that I can get. I love these lights. So what I'm gonna do this one
h. I'm just gonna point up. Got to zoom in on
those lights at 35. Looking at my monitor, make
sure it's nice and focused. And then I'm just gonna
reveal those lights. Let's see. I'm kind of cutting off that
one at the bottom. I'm gonna go at 28
or focal length 28. Very nice. I think that is
it for the living room.
9. 2.1.8 - Kitchen: Here we are at the
kitchen. I am at F 11. It's a little dark. Zebras
are telling me that. So I'm going to go to F eight. Still a little dark. F
6.3 is looking nice. Making sure I'm zoomed
out all the way. White balance at 5,100. Uh yeah, it seems pretty good. Let's check out our focus. Let me take the zebras off. And that is looking very nice. Let's go ahead and do our move. I'm going to make sure all my verticals are
nice and straight by hitting double clicking on
my trigger on my RS three, and I am centering over the
middle of, like, the sink. And I'm just gonna move
forward into that area. Beautiful. I'm gonna
move backwards as well. I'm gonna do one more.
That looks nice. Okay. I'm going to get two
detail shots here. Now, you're probably
wondering, how do you know what these detail
shots should be? Um, I shoot a lot of these same details
for a lot of my homes, and I just kind of know
which ones look really good. If I do see an opportunity to shoot another detail, I will. But I find that these details
always look really nice. So I'm punching in at 35, not using any clear image Zoom, and I am focusing on the sink. And now making sure that my horizontals
look nice and straight. I'm going to go
slide to the right. Beautiful. There's another opportunity
for a detail here. I am going to use
clear image Zoom. I'm going to punch in
at 50 millimeters. I'm going to make sure that kitchen aid stove is in focus, and I'm going to reveal
using the side of this the side of this
corner of the island. Just kind of show off
the cabinet tree there. Okay, I'm gonna go on this side. It's gonna zoom out at 35 again. And make sure everything's
nice and focused. I'm gonna go down the
trench of this kitchen, and I'm just gonna
push backwards. Beautiful. One more. Very nice. I'm going to take an opportunity
to shoot one over here. I think I'm going to
take this one at 24. I'm going to do a slow
reveal right there. Now, you're probably thinking, are we going to use all these
in the edits? I don't know. But as I see opportunities,
I'm going to take them, and that way, I'll have these
stored in my bin for use. There's a nice shot
over here that I I like how the cabinetry is a nice backdrop
for these chairs. I think I can punch
in even a little bit more. Yeah, I like that. So at 50, it's
looking really good. Try to get out of
that reflection, and then make sure my horizontals
are nice and straight, and then I'm going to
just slide to the left. Beautiful. There's a nice shot from here down to
the living room. And I'm just gonna go ahead and kind of get this this line. Beautiful. I like
that compression. Also introduces the dining room, which is the next
thing we're gonna shoot. So I will see you there.
11. 2.1.10 - Misc Areas: So there is a mud
room over here. So I'm going to get this
mudroom and also this pantry. Who knows if we'll
use it? And there's also a desk on the other
side of the kitchen. So let's get this mudroom, this pantry, and this desk. And then since we're
already out by the patio, we might as well knock
that one out, as well. So here we are in the mudroom. I'm going to stay wide at 16, and it looks like it looks like I might need
to bump up to my second ISO. So I'm going to switch
over to 12,800, which is my other clean ISO. And then go down to F 11. So when that plus two is blinking, oh,
you can't see that. But there's a plus two blinking. That means it's
still overexposed. I'm going to use my ND filter
and then go down to F 6.3. You can tell that I'm getting a lot more
zebras now in that area. And now I'm just going to push
in to show off the space. Beautiful. Okay. So
that's our mud room. Let's go ahead and show off. This pantry, 5,100 looks
like it's too yellow. So I'm gonna go
down about 3,900, and I'm gonna punch
in to about 24. Let turn off my zebras now
that I know I'm exposed well. That's looking good.
I'm just gonna push in. Very nice. One more. Okay. That takes care of that one. And then I'm just gonna reveal
this little study nook. So let's go ahead and
change our IO to 800. Our white balance needs
to be a lot warmer, so I'm gonna go to 5,100. I'm going to get my focus. Let's see how
exposure's looking. Exposures looking nice. Okay. That looks good. So I'm going to just
reveal the space. One more time. Just
reveal the space. Beautiful. I'm also going to do one where I make it
more as a detail shot. So I'm gonna punch in at 50. That way you can kind of see how it connects to the kitchen. So F 5.0 is looking good. And I'm just gonna slide. I really like that shot as well. So we'll see which one
I end up using a post. Cool. And then finally, we have this little porch area back here. So I'm gonna go at 16
obviously too bright out here. So I'm going to
use my ND filter. I need to be at 5,600
for my white balance. I'm going to switch to C two. And now, for Monitor plus, unfortunately, it doesn't
show on Monitor plus. And what I'm going to do
is I'm just going to get rid of those zebras by
punching up my aperture. So I'm at F ten, and now those zebras are gone. So I know that all of my
highlights are not clipping. And I'm gonna wait
for that truck to pass 'cause we don't
need that in the shot. Alright. Now I'm going to do the move. I'm basically just
going from this corner, and I'm gonna push
to that corner. Beautiful. So one more. Very nice. And then maybe I'll get
a nice little detail shot there at the bottom. Kind of teasing that there's something down
there to look at. So I'm just gonna
do a little bit of a reveal and get some parallax from this
geometry that's in my way. Just to kind of tease that
there's something down there. Alright, that takes
care of this patio.
12. 2.1.11 - Entry Landing: So there is a powder
room over here. I'm not gonna shoot that.
It's not much interest. It doesn't really add
much to my final edit. This, however, is the landing. And so let's go ahead
and get this landing. Gonna zoom out. I'm gonna take off this ND filter
because we don't need it. And I'm going to
switch back to C one, so I can have zebras
for this interior. And we need some zebras in here. There we go. That's looking
better. Zoom out at 16. Make sure we're in focus. And I'm going to go
ahead and get this part. One more. And then let's go ahead
and get this part. I like this area. Very nice. Let's make sure
those horizontals are nice and straight. There we go. Very good. We got a
cool light over here. So I'm gonna ask
you to detail that. I'm gonna go in at
28 millimeters. And I'm just gonna gonna
show that off right here. Very nice. And we have a guest
bedroom in here. So let's go ahead
and shoot that.
13. 2.1.12 - Guest Bedroom: So there is a powder
room over here. I'm not gonna shoot that.
It's not much interest. It doesn't really add
much to my final edit. This, however, is the landing. And so let's go ahead
and get this landing. Gonna zoom out. I'm gonna take off this ND filter
because we don't need it. And I'm going to
switch back to C one, so I can have zebras
for this interior. And we need some zebras in here. There we go. That's looking
better. Zoom out at 16. Make sure we're in focus. And I'm going to go
ahead and get this part. One more. And then let's go ahead
and get this part. I like this area. Very nice. Let's make sure
those horizontals are nice and straight. There we go. Very good. We got a
cool light over here. So I'm gonna ask
you to detail that. I'm gonna go in at
28 millimeters. And I'm just gonna gonna
show that off right here. Very nice. And we have a guest
bedroom in here. So let's go ahead
and shoot that.
14. 2.1.13 - Stairs Ascending: Let's go and do the stairs. I got everything here
on the main floor, and when I go to a next area, I like to delineate
that with stairs. And so I'm going to go ahead and expose for these
stairs real quick at 5.0 looking good. So I'm at 16 millimeters
for my focal length. And what I'm going to do
is I'm going to first just go up and go up, just kind of I'm slowly pointing my camera up as I'm doing this. So I'm pushing in and then I'm pointing up as
I'm pushing in. Now, visually, that's not as interesting because this is
just a white wall, so I'm actually going to
go to this next set of stairs because there's a lot more geometry
that's more interesting. So I'm going to do the same
move. I'm going to zoom in. And push up. And I like that so much more because I've
got all these cool lines. So it's Beautiful.
And obviously, I'm gonna have to cut
out the portion where showing me and my assistant. So about right there.
I'm gonna push in, and I'm going to point up. Showing these cool railings and all this visual interest
that's happening up here. Now, Let's go ahead
and go up the stairs. I like to tell my
viewer that I'm ascending by shooting that
first shot that I just did, and then I'll cut
to this next shot. So I'm going to go and
see the view down. And I see that
there's a lot more visual interest going this way in this corner. So I'm
going to do that again. And I'm going to go and
point my camera down as I walk forward and kind
of show where we came from. And what I'll do is I'll play
that in reverse in post, and I'll cut those two
stairpieces together. And that's a usually
good indicator to the viewer that, Hey, we've changed levels and we are at a different area
of the house at this time.
15. 2.1.14 - Second Floor Landing: I so coming up the stairs,
we have this landing. We have this office, and
then we have the master. So let's knock out this landing in this
office real quick. So here at the top
of the stairs, what I'm going to do
since I just came up the stairs and we have
these beautiful railings, I'm going to continue
the theme of these railings that lead
us into the sitting area. And what I'm going to do
is I'm going to just kind of go in a little tight and do a detail shot that reveals the space and using these
railings to kind of reveal it. Beautiful. Just like that. And then I'm gonna take it wide. Very nice. One more. I like this wide shot
'cause it teases that office in the next room. I'm also gonna go over
here down magic Line. So I'm gonna go and take it from this other side down magic Line. I want to pull back just to kind of show
where we came from. Beautiful.
16. 2.1.15 - Office: Et's go and get this office. So I'm going to do a detail shot that introduces the office. Show that there's
this cool glass wall. So I'm just gonna reveal it. Very nice. Then I'll
take it nice and wide. Very good. I'm gonna go to the
opposite side of this office and show
where we came from. And I'm just gonna pull
back going down magic line. Cool.
17. 2.1.16 - Master Bedroom: Okay, here we are in
the master bedroom. Very important
room of this home. It's where the decision maker, if they're gonna buy this home
or not, is going to sleep. So let's make sure
to shoot this right. Let's get our exposure correct. And F eight is
looking really nice. I am going to make sure that I am in focus. It looks great. 5,100 is looking good. So let's go ahead
and shoot it here. So I'm going to
push in Push out. Okay, one more push in. Awesome. I'm gonna also shoot a detail. Got to punch in at 50.
Make sure I'm in focus. Gonna use this wall to
reveal the bed. Love it. Now gonna go down magic line. Okay, here I am on magic line, and I'm going to just push
backwards down magic line. Beautiful. And I love that it
introduces the next space, which is this bathroom. So I'm going to introduce
it by teasing it. I want to go to 35.
From my focal length. And I'm just gonna do a small
slide showing that there's this nice barn door revealing this
beautiful space inside. So this is at 35. What
does it look like at 50? And this is why I love
these Sony cameras. I mean, I can just really
just try to target. I'm loving that 50 even more. Love that compression. I can just really target what I want my focal length to be. Now that I've got that space, I think I'm gonna go
on this side here. So I'm gonna stay at 16 and just kind of show the relationship of this bathroom from the bedroom. I'm also gonna get a nice
wide shot of this tub. Since I teased it. Beautiful. Get it
perfectly centered up. And then we have this shower. And for showers,
what I like to do, especially if there's glass,
I like to use the glass. And I always say, in my
mind, let the glass pass. I'm gonna let the glass pass and reveal the space. Beautiful. Let's see if I can get a little lower. I
have my reflection. Beautiful. Just like that. Okay. Then we also have
this closet space. I can tell I'm gonna need
to bump up my ISO to 12,800 because it's darker. Now that's too bright,
so I'm gonna go to F 11. Focus is looking good. Let's go ahead and do the move. Just gonna push in
and reveal this very reveal this very
generous closet space. Just go to reveal
this closet space. Awesome. Alright, let's
move on to the next room.
18. 2.1.17 - Laundry: Alright, we've got
this laundry facility right by the master bedroom. And let's see. I'm at 12,800, which is fine. Looks like I need
to be at about 49 or 5,000 for my white balance. Let's make sure we're in focus. There we go. Et's go and do the
move. Push in. Kind of pointing into
the corner a little bit, just slowly pushing in. Awesome. Okay. That's
the laundry room.
19. 2.1.18 - Bedrooms and Baths: Alright, we've got
this suite over here. So let's go and check it out. Get our settings correct first. So I'm going to go to my
first ISO, which is 800. Re remember if you're
on a seven S three. Your first ISO is 640, okay? But since I'm on the
FX three, it's 800. That's looking good.
What is this? Let's see. F eight is looking nice. I don't really care
what's at that window. So I don't mind
blowing those out. Focus is looking nice. Let's go and do the move. So is gonna push in. Beautiful. One more. One, two, three. Awesome. Go down magic line. I'm gonna goad shoot
magic line real fast. Go down the corner. One more time. And that looks good. Let's
go and shoot this bathroom. So here's the connected
bathroom of the ensuite. Let's make sure our zebras, let's see, 5.6 is looking good. It's pretty yellow in there, so I'm gonna go 3,800. Focus. Got the
focus. Looking good. Okay. Let's push in. Beautiful. One more. Very nice. Okay, that takes
care of that en sweet. We got one more bedroom. Let's just go ahead
and shoot it. Looks like we have a
bedroom and a bathroom. So this bedroom is pretty
simple. Let's see. Let's go ahead and change
our white balance to 4,800. I'm going to tease this
bedroom real quick. We're punching into 35. You know what? I'm
gonna punch into 50 using clear Image Zoom. Now, I'm gonna reveal
the space. Very nice. Then I want to go to 16, get out of Clear Image Zoom, and just push in.
Beautiful. One more. Then I'm going to
go right here to this bathroom and
knock that one out. Let's see. Looks like we need to bump up our ISO
to our second IO. So 12,800. Let's get those zebras back. That's too much. So we're
going to use our ND filter. And I'm gonna go to 5.6
That's looking good. Sharpness. Looking good. And then we're gonna
go about 3,600 for our white balance. I'm gonna push in. Beautiful.
One more. Awesome. And that takes care of
all the rooms up here. Let's go downstairs, and let's go knock out the basement.
Then we'll fly drone.
20. 2.1.19 - Stairs to Basement: Mm. Okay, here we are. We're about to descend
into the basement, but like I said, I like to tell the viewer
what we're about to do. So we're going to
show some stairs. So let's go ahead and
get our white balance. 4,800 gonna punch into
about 28 millimeters, point my camera down, and then I'm going to use
this wall just kind of reveal and slowly
descend one more time, reveal and slowly descend. Alright now let's go downstairs. Well, what we'll do is
when we get down here, we could show it from up top. Alright, we'll take it
from this angle down here. We're gonna remove
the ND filter. We don't need it. I'm
gonna point the camera up. And then I'm just gonna push in and reveal those stairs
that are descending. And then we can easily say, Hey, we're gonna come down
to another level.
21. 2.1.20 - Basement Main Living: Alright, here we are
in the basement. Let's go ahead and
shoot this main space. ISO is too much, so I'm going to go
down to the ISO 800. Nope, I need it. So I'm
going to go back to 12,800. And F 11. Yep, F eleven's looking good. And let's check out our
focus. Let's look and did. Alright, let's go
ahead and do our move. We go just push in
at 16 millimeters. One more. Very nice. And let's see. Let me just shoot a detail. Right here. Gonna
punch in at 35. And just gonna do a
small slide. Beautiful. I'm also going to do a
slide not loving that. I want to show this other space. I like this. So I'm
gonna slide from here. Alright, I'm gonna zoom
in at 35 get this table. Make sure my
horizontals are nice and straight, and
just get this slide. Beautiful. One more. Beautiful. Uh, you know what? I'm
gonna get this as well. Beautiful. There's a
rest room over here. I want to go out and
get this powder. And the way I'm gonna
do it is I'm just gonna reveal the space. Just like this. And we'll see if that
makes the cut or not. Very nice. Let's go to
these two bedrooms. Okay.
22. 2.1.21 - Bedroom and Patio: Alright, let's get
this other bedroom. My ISO needs to be at the
first base, which is 800. I want to kind of get
some Boca on here. So I'm gonna put
my ND filter on. Go to F 2.8. And let's get that focus first. I want to those pillows. And then make sure we've
got zebras on that. About right there. And let's clear
Image zoom into 50. That way, we're getting
more compression. Okay, there we go. And let's tease the
space. Beautiful. Now, let's go to 16. Go to F eight F 11. Yeah, F 11. And let's push in. Beautiful. Gonna do
one more. Awesome. Um, gonna get magic
Line over here? Beautiful. And then let's go
ahead and get this bathroom. I want to avoid that mirror. I'm gonna go F 5.6, little blue. Let's go white balance at 4,900. That's looking good.
There's my camera. Now I'm gonna push it. One more time
watching that mirror, making sure I'm not in it. Oh, I think the tip of my
hair just got in it. Awesome. Let's go and get
the patio outside. Um seeing this opportunity, so I'm gonna shoot this one. And maybe this as well.
This is straight on. It was very realist
this shot right here. So we'll see if
that makes a cut. But I got it. Let's go
ahead and get this patio. All right. So it's like one of these
plants took a tumble. From the wind. It's
pretty windy last night. So I'm gonna shoot
from this corner. But let's get our
settings set up. Let's go to C two, and we don't want zebras. So it looks like I'm
gonna need my ND filter. And there we go. If you're
seeing zebras on the screen, it's because on Monitor plus, it's still set to C one. So I'm using C two on my camera. Okay. I've been trying to get my assistant out
of it. Here we go. Do the move. Very nice. One more. Very nice. I'm gonna
tease what's out there, just by doing a detail. Beautiful. One more. Awesome.
23. 2.1.22 - Last Bedroom: We have got this
bedroom down here. It's a little bunk room, and there's this little
hallway of guitars. So I'm going to increase
my ISO first to 12,800. Go to F 11. Yeah. F 11. Let's go down to 4,600
for our white balance. Then let's clear
image zoom into that. There we go. I like that. So I want to go and do my slide. Kind of teases that
space. Beautiful. And let's reveal the space. Get out of clear Image Zoom. It turns out this
room is an ensuite, so let's go ahead and get this. Let's get this bathroom. Very nice. And then there's
also this little study area, so I'm just gonna zoom in. That takes care of this room.
24. 2.1.23 - Drone Shots: Alright, let's go ahead
and fly the drone. I'm flying the DGI Mavic three. I am P one oh seven certified. So if you are flying
commercially, make sure that you're P
one oh seven certified. That's all I'm gonna say
about that. You shouldn't be flying commercially
if you are not. Basically what
you're gonna want to do is if this was my house, I'm basically going
to take a couple of wide arcs around the house, and I'm going to
also descend towards the house or ascend from
the house at an angle. And that is mostly what we'll be doing for these
particular shots. So let's go ahead and get
the drone up in the air, and we're going to go
and take those shots for the property. So, first off, I'm going
to go ahead and get my settings I am
shooting manually. So shutter speed
needs to be 1/1 20th, I am shooting at four K 60. I'm going to
increase my aperture 'cause right now I'm
one stop overexposed. So 0.7 is better for me. And let's see. 5,600. That's looking good. So I am going to select my
subject, which is the house. I'm gonna go into Cinymde, which is a nice slower speed, and I'm gonna go
ahead and make those wide arcs like I was saying. Gonna make a nice arc this way. And I can tell that I'm
a little off center. So I'm just gonna go a
little left that way. I'm going to start
from this corner and then make that arc again. So making sure that myself and my assistant
are not in the shot. I'm going to slowly make my arc left from right
to left. That was great. Now, I'm going to do
one where I descend. So I'm going to start up high. And I'm just going
to slowly lose altitude and push
in as I descend, and it's gonna bring that house. Oh, there was a child on a bike, so we're going to do that again. So I am going to descend
while pushing in. Gonna bring that
house more into view. And that'll be a great shot
to introduce the house. Since we're here
at the front, I'm gonna just take it far back, and I'm gonna get a
nice establishing shot to kind of show where we're
at in relation to everything. So Just kind of showing
the lay of the land. Shows that there's a lake
there in the background, and that this is an up
and coming neighborhood. Okay. Let's go ahead and head towards the back. Okay, Let's select our house. Now that we are back
here, I'm going to go into a sei slower speed mode. I'm going to get some altitude. And then I'm going to again start descending and
pushing forward. Beautiful. Very nice. I think I'm gonna
get a nice close up of this little deck. Beautiful. Let's do one more because there was a
little jitter. Okay. I'm gonna just churn and
pivot and pull back. I can tell that I'm
not really centered, so I'm gonna do it one last time, see if I can't get that. Pivot, pull back.
That's a lot nicer. Very good. And then, let's see. What other shot I can do? I'm gonna point my
camera straight down. And I'm gonna go
square with the house. And I'm just gonna kind of
show this backyard layout. Beautiful. And let's see if there's any other
shots that I'd miss. I think this is a nice shot. So let's go ahead and
record this part. And I'm just going to arc around while I show those mountains
off in the background. I think my angle is a little high, so I'm
going to do that again. So let's just arc around. Liking that gentle
s shape around the home, and I'm
really liking that. Nuts, that truck got in the way, so we're gonna shoot
that one more time. Normally, I don't
like any vehicles to be in my shot just because sometimes I might
use a forward shot or a reverse shot of the shot, and if there's a vehicle, then it's obvious that I'm
taking the reverse clip. Very nice. And then
let's take one shot. Let's see if we're
gonna have to move. Let's move out this way. Otherwise, we're
gonna be in the shot. Let's see if we can get one shot where we're just kind of
ascending away from the house. There we go. Let's do it from this angle, as well. Well, let's send away
from this angle. So I'm gonna just pull back. And send away from the house. Awesome. Alright. Well, those are all the shots for the drone. That should make
for a great edit. Let's go ahead and go
back to my office, and let's go ahead and knock out this edit in post production.
25. 2.1.24 - Download Davinci Resolve: First thing that you're
going to want to do is go to
www.blackmagicdsign.com, and luckily for you, they have this for free, so we can download it
for free right here. Right now, they have
the public Beta. For Resolve 19, I would highly suggest not
downloading a public Beta. That means it's still in Beta, and they're just allowing the public to mess
around with it. So the stable version is DaVinci Resolve 18.6
as of this recording. Now the studio version, which is the one
that I will actually be using is the paid version. It's about $300 and
it's worth every penny. But I just want you
guys to know that I started my business using the free version and
the free version allows you to be able to do
everything that we need. Use Mac or Windows. In my case, it's Mac,
download it and install it.
26. 2.1.25 - Free vs Paid: Okay, just a quick word about the free version of
Devinti Resolve. The positive side, it is
free, absolutely free. And it works great with
Black Magic cameras. And like I said, I started my business using the free
version of Devinti Resolve, and I was using
Black Magic cameras. The downside is the free
version of Deventia Resolve does not really
support the files coming out of the Sony cameras, like the A seven S
three or the FX three. So I'm going to show
you a way around that. You're going to use another free program
called handbrake. Okay, so go to handbrake, download it and install it. Okay? So I already have it
downloaded and installed here. This is handbrake, and
it's really easy, okay? So here on my desktop, I have some footage that
I shot on my FX three, and we're going to
convert these so that way it plays nice with the free version
of DaVinci Resolve. Here inside of Handbrek, all we're going to do is we're going to click Open Source. And then I'm going
to point it to my FX three test folder, and it has my raw footage
from my camera right here. What it's going to do
is it's going to do a quick scan of all the files
that are in that folder. Now this is going to be very
dependent upon your CPU. Alright, so it's made this scan. What you're going
to want to do is right here under preset, you're going to want to go
to Production Max, okay? After that, you're going to
want to go to the video tab. And the video encoder
that you're going to want to use is h265 tenbt. Okay? So this is
from our camera 422, and then we're going to spit
it out as an h26 510 Bit. Finally, I am going to point
where I want it to go. So I'm just going to put
it back into this folder. I'm going to make a
new folder in there. Call it hand braked. Okay? And that's where I'm going to send the converted files. So what I'm going to do
is I'm going to click on this little arrow,
this little drop down. I'm going to add all of
the titles to the Q. And if you want to
see that, this is it. So these are my three files
that I'm going to convert, and then I'm going
to hit Start Q. And again, this is dependent
upon your processor. But the cool thing
is, it totally works. Now, I've already done this because I wanted to make
sure that it worked for you. And here on my desktop, these are the actual files
that were converted, okay? So I'm going to go
ahead and stop this. And I already went ahead
and tested these inside of here to make sure that you can
still edit and grade them. So I'm just going to
drag this file over. And as you can see, now
you're able to play the file. Mine did struggle
just a little bit. So I put it to either half
or quarter sometimes. But the good news is
is it totally works, and it works on
the free version. Um, and if you're wondering if color grading works,
it totally does. I was able to color
grade this just fine inside of the color tab, so no problems there. Anyway, that's what
you're going to want to do if you're going to be using only the free version of
DaVinci Resolve and you're shooting on a Sony camera like the A sevens
three or the FX three.
27. 2.1.26 - Davinci Resolve Overview: A After we fired
DaVinci Resolve, you'll go ahead and be greeted
with this Projects panel. And this Projects
panel, you'll notice that there is a projects tree. You can create a new folder. I have a projects folder, and then I delineate it by
the years within that year, then I'll make a new folder, and I'll say 01, January. Inside of that 01 January, then I'll go ahead
and have my project. And then, you know, I'll have 02, February,
oh three, March. I'm going to go and
just delete this. It's really handy for
keeping things organized. Once you fired up, you'll notice that you have
these tabs on here, media, cut, edit, fusion, color, falte, and deliver, each
one of these pages is a work area for DaVinci. I'm going to tell you right now the things that we're going to be using is the Edit page, the color page, and
the deliver page. Those are going to be the main
three that we will be in. We won't really be editing in the cut page or fusion or Fairlight at all,
or even the media. So let's go ahead and
look at these panels. This is kind of like
our tree structure. So it's always going
to stay as master, and then I can right click
and I can create a new bin. We can call this
FX three footage. Or I can right click on
Master again and say, drone. I can make another one
and I can say, music. So this is just a
fold review of that. Obviously, this is where we have our footage that we will import. For example, our FX three
footage that we took, let's say, I know, I'm just going to take
these three clips here from a different shoot and I'm
just going to drag them in. Once I drag them
into this folder, it'll ask if I want to change
the project frame rate, I always say don't change because I want to be
in control of that. Now this is where
our footage resides. Getting your drone
footage, same way. This is basically
just how we bring in our clips and we keep it organized by creating
a tree structure. Let's just use that one. When you double click on it,
this is the preview screen, and then the way
I usually do it, let's say I want from here, so I will hit the I key for N, or you can use this for
N and then that for out. If I click here in the middle and drag it to the timeline, it drags both the
video and the audio. I don't need the audio, so I'm going to hit Control Z, and I'm just going to
drag just the video, and there it is in the timeline. Now, this is the timeline view, so this is the master view
of what the video is. Final video. Notice that
when I drug in the footage, it made this thing called
timeline one because I was in the FX three footage
folder and I drug in my first piece of
footage into the timeline, it automatically made
a timeline for me. Now, usually what I
would do is in Master, I would right click
and create a new bin and I'd have a timeline folder, and then I'm going to
drag this timeline folder in the timeline because you
can have multiple timelines. So let's see. Inside of the timeline, you can zoom in and zoom out. The quick ques for that is
Control plus or Control minus. If I had this other clip, let's say in, I'm just
hitting the ikey out, and then let's just drag that. Then let's say we grab
this one in let's go in I out. Okay. Here's our
three little clubs. Terrible terrible edit, but just for the
sake of teaching. Inside of the
timeline, like I said, we can use Command
plus to zoom in, Command minus to zoom out. I think it's Control plus
Control minus for Windows. It's either control or Alt. I can't remember Windows. Actually, I think it's Alt. It's Alt plus Alt to minus
to zoom in and zoom out. You can do it this
way if you want. If I'm really zoomed
into the timeline, I can hit my middle
mouse button and drag and I can navigate
my timeline that way. S, watch this bar. I'm just middle mouse clicking. Here, the ones that I mainly
use, I use these two. This is the selection mode
and then the blade mode. Selection, I can select it and move it around
and the blade, I can cut things up. Undo that. I like to use snapping on. That way, if I'm here, it'll just snap like that. And then when I hit the
middle of a timeline, it'll just snap right to it. So that's pretty handy. There
is this effects window. So let's say I wanted
to put a transition, like a little cross dissolve. I can drag it over that, and then now there's a
little crossissolve. Put one right there. Okay. I'm going to undo that. And that is here in this effects window. You can also put titles. I usually use text. For a clip, now notice that these clips
aren't interpreted currently, they are the actual clip frame. So for my FXI footage, that should be 60
frames per second. I can right click on it
and say clip attributes. And right now, the video
frame rate is 59.9. Same with the drones
probably 6,059.9. So it's not interpreted,
and my timeline, I'm going to right
click and then hit timeline settings is at 24. So what I usually like to
do is I delete all of this. What I normally would do
is I'll select all of my clips in my exit footage. I'll hit clip attributes, and then I'll interpret it to 24. And this is how I get that. Nice, buttery smooth. So it's interpreted
into 24 frames. So I will do that
also for my drone, right click clip attributes 24. So when I let's see. Here's a move. It'll be
nice and slow and ethereal. That leads me to what are my main settings
for the project. So you hit this little cog here, and then here are
my master settings. So my master settings
that I like to do, my timeline resolution, I like to keep at
38 40 by 21 60, and then my playback is at 24. Let's see. We'll just go through all these settings
of how I like it. Image scaling. I
always go to scale full frame with crop.
Color management. This is important. So you want to keep it DaVinci i
or GB color managed. And the color processing mode is this HDR Davinci wide gamut. Okay? You don't want to do
this automatic color. You want to untick it
and make sure that it's HDR DaVinci
wide color gamut. The output color space, if I'm on my Mac, then I'm
going to use Rec 709 A. And if this monitor that I'm using is going to be my final monitor I'm
gonna keep at Rec 709 A. Because I have a nice
monitor connected, I will actually be at
Rec 709 Gamma 2.4. Um, general options. Camera raw now. Okay. So those are my main settings. Let's say I wanted to keep this, I can set the default settings
as the default preset. That way, you don't have to keep doing this every single time. I'm going to hit Cancel on that. Like I said, the other
tab that we will mostly be on is color. Let's put something in
our timeline real fast. Let's get this little
bedroom scene in and out. And then let's get one
of these drone scenes. In and out. Okay. So let's say we're
going to color these. I'm going to now click
on the Color tab. And here, my
individual edit items from my edit are
represented as these clips. If you don't see
those clips, you can hit clips there, and
then you'll see them. Also in the edit, if yours
doesn't look like this, you can always you can always go to Workspace
reset UI layout. So let me go back to color. This area is where we
have our node tree, which is how you color
grade inside of DaVinci. These are our primaries
color wheels. We will be using
these extensively. If you don't see it,
all you have to do is click this guy right there. And then this little area here, it's dependent on what
tool we're using here. And then here, it's
always on keyframes. I like to click it on this
little guy right here, and this is the scopes, and I like to make
sure it's on foray. All right? And then obviously, when
we're done editing, we'll go to the deliver page. So you can have a custom
export or a h264 master. Sometimes I'll straight
to I'll make it a straight YouTube or a vimeo
export for my clients. Quite a few, or you can totally go custom
and do your own. So that's how it works. And that's what all the
meanings of those tabs are. So hopefully, that's a
quick little overview of DaVinci Resolve.
28. 2.1.27 - First Floor Edit: Let's go ahead and do the
edit for Toll Brothers. So I'm going to click
on my Projects panel, and I'm going to make
a new project in here. I'm just gonna call
it Toll Brothers. And this is the post
production workshop. I'm just going to
go ahead and check all of my settings here. And it's looking
very good, okay? So if you didn't know
what the settings needed to be, watch
my last video, and those are the settings
that I want, okay? So I'm going to go ahead and make sure that I'm
here on my Edit panel, and I'm just going
to create a new bin. And I'm going to call
this Bin FX three. I'm gonna make another bin. Call this drone. And then I'm going
to make a music bin. So I'm just going to
go to my finder window and drag in my FX three footage. It's gonna ask me if
I want to change it. I'm not going to change it. And then I'm going to go to my drone footage,
get all of those. I'm going to go to the
music. I can also just right click and
say Import Media, and then I can get
it that way as well. I have all of my media in. I'm going to go and
prepare my media by selecting them all, I can also look at it
this way if I wanted to. I'm going to select all
of them, right click. And I'm going to say
click attributes. I want them to all be
interpreted at 24. Same with all of
my drone footage. Right, click. Make sure that those are all 24
frames per second. Or interpret it at 24
frames per second. So now when I play it, it should be nice
and slow. Let's see. Yep. So looking nice and slow. All right. This is going to be my song
that I'm going to use. So I can drag that
down if I want to. Here's a little bit.
A dead room here, so I'm just going to hit
my B key for my blade, select my A, and
hit the delete key. And that's going to ripple
delete everything back. Notice that when I
drug in my media, it made a timeline for me
inside of the music folder. So I'm just going
to right click, create a new bin
called Timelines. Go to that music folder and
drag that timeline in play. I'm going to hit
Shift Z so I can see my entire timeline or we
can zoom out like this. Okay. Spacebar starts
and stopped the play. Alright, so let's go
through our footage. So I know that I was just
talking in a few of these. So I'm trying to find where
I actually started moving. So there's one move right there. It's a little
difficult because I was doing this
during the tutorial, and normally I would have
these as singular clips. I would just hit Start,
do the move, stop. But because I was
doing the tutorial, they're long clips and I have to find my move while
I was teaching. So you just keep that in
mind as I'm doing this. I'm just going to have to
set my in and out points for the good clips. So I'm just basically
looking for a good clip. So here's a start
of an end point. Down. Okay. That's not bad. So I'm
gonna take that clip. I most likely did it again
that's very much style. Let's go to the other side. Looks like I only took one take. Oh, here we go. Start in. In Okay. I know it's longer
than what I need, but I just wanted to
see how much I grabbed. So that seems like a nicer take. Now, if you find that your
computer is kind of lagging, mine's a little bit
lagging because I've got OBS running
in the background. You can change your
timeline proxy resolution to half or even a
quarter if you need to, and that will help
your playback. So in so that's a slide move that I can
choose if I wanted to. Let's see, there's another one. It's not bad. So I like to give
myself different takes if you haven't noticed. So that way, I have options. Okay, then it looks like I'm swinging over to the other side. I'm hitting the button. JKL, just like an
Adobe premiere, you can control your time
or your play settings. K stops it, L plays it
in the normal direction. L another times faster. This is three times
faster, four times faster, now I hit Stop and now I'm I'm going to hit J to
rewind it just a little bit, hit I to set my endpoint, L to play it. Yep. And then O to hit out. So that kind of
gives you an idea of my quick keys that I'm using. Spacebar to stop it. I to set a new endpoint
spacebar to hit Play, or you can use the key
and then K for the out, then drag it in. Okay. Looking for another angle. Just hitting L
several times to kind of quickly go through the footage to see where I'm
heading up my next spot. Okay. Looks like I'm doing it. I just did a move. So
rewind it using J. Stop it using K. Hit
the play button, L. So let me rewind it again. Okay, so hit stop with K. I set my endpoint, L to hit play. K to stop, O for my outpoint. Okay, I probably did it
a couple more times. So here's one. So I for a
new Ifoint L to hit play. I'm not liking that conversion because I'm cutting
this part off. Oh, look at me. I'm thinking the same way I did on the shoot. So I for new infoyt
L to hit play. Okay, to stop O,
for the outpoint. Now, you saw how I
went full screen? I hit the P button to go full. You can also go Alt
F or Control F. I mean, Alt F or
Command F to go full. I personally like
Command F to go full. And I want to say that's
all the stuff for Yep. That's all the stuff
for the living room. So I'm just going to mute this audio track so I'm
not listening to it. When I edit my things, I like to just kind of edit
with the music in my head. There's a pacing that
you can kind of see. And so what I mean
by that is this. So let's say I want the
second clip that I liked. So I'm just going to hit
Play button somewhere about there that I'm going
to pick one of these that one looks good. So I'm playing it, and then it's gonna cut. I can feel like I can now
cut to a different shot. So I'll probably take this one. Let me zoom in. Just hitting Command plus and
then using my middle mouse, but So without any music, I can tell that this even that it's a little bit long, so I'm
going to bring it in. And then let's get Let's get this one. Okay. This is and I'm just taking out these that I'm not using,
just getting rid of them. Gonna put this at the beginning. And this is our
living room edit. And I'm not listening
to the music. I'm just kind of feeling
the pace of this. Now, I don't like
to I don't like to do these fast edits when it's going to be a
home that's for sale. You know, the buyer doesn't need to go through on
this roller coaster ride. They just want to see the
home and all its beauty. So I'm avoiding speed ramps
and things of that nature. I just want a nice,
graceful view of the home. So that's my living room. The living room is
usually the first shot when I enter the home if
it's not the entryway. The very first thing that
I usually like to do, though, is establish
it with my drone. So I know that I
took a wide shot, and I notice how I'm kind of just quickly
scrubbing through this. I'm just literally hovering
my mouse over the icon. And then with my mouse
over it like this, I can just quickly go
over it like that. I can quickly scrub
through the footage. And I'm thinking this shot and might serve as a good. So let me see what
else I got here. And this one might serve
as a good one, as well. And Let's see. What else do I have
here? I like this. So let's say fact that I'm descending and
heading towards the house. I think we'll use this. Oh, that kid got in the way. So I'm sure I did it again. Ah did I Yep. Okay. I think I'm going
to use this shot. And it's a little slow, so I'm just going to go ahead
I'm going to try to cut out this stuff right there.
I'm not crazy about it. So I think I'm going
to go right there, click the B for the blade tool and then get rid of that
M hitting the delete key. Okay, now I'm going to
listen to the music. And then I think the
moment it kicks in here. So from here, we can kind of
tweak to our hearts content. Beautiful. So that kind of gives
me my establishing, and this is the house. We're gonna go in.
The first thing we see is the living room. And then from there, we
just keep moving forward, so I'm gonna turn
off the music again, so I'm not distracted by it, and I'm going to go
to the next thing. So the next thing being the kitchen. Okay,
there's a move. So in at 35 again. And My voice, like hearing my voice is kind of distracting. Kind
of throwing me off. Okay. And I know that I
teased this somewhere. So I think I teased it with
the stools. Yep, right there. You know, my playback
is getting really slow, so I'm going to go to quarter. So just using the JK keys to kind of find where I want it, I think, right there. So let's set an in 0.0 point. And then from here, Boom. I'm loving that. Let's
get some detail shots. I think before we go into
this part of the kitchen, I think I want to show off some of that part of
the kitchen first. So where was that footage? I think it was this clip. Here we go. So let's go with that, maybe. And then we'll go to
another detail shot that cuts over to the sink. Now, these are two
sliding shots. Notice that this one is
going from left to right, and this one's going
from right to left. So I'm going to select
this guy and I'm going to hit right click
Change clip speed. Speed to reverse speed. So that way, the directions of both my clips are the same. So pushing in, show this area. Then I'm going to
cut to this detail. What else do I have here? I don't know if I need that one. Let's go. With this shot. Okay. And I'll start in there. Okay. I think I'll do
it About right there. Okay. So let's look
at our kitchen edits. And I'm going to
turn on my music. Lovely. Lovely, lovely. Alright. Um I'm going to go ahead and see
this is dining room. Kind of scrubbing through
this, see what we get. Looks like there's some
more living room stuff that we might be able
to add in there. It's another option for the lights if I wanted
to use that instead. Do I tease I tease those. Do I tease the dining table
in any way? Let's see. I have a detail shot
of the dining table, detail shot of that
thing for the sofa. I might have not teased the dining room table.
Hm, what is this? That's kind of a
dining room tease I focus straight
here, I can tell. Let's see what happens. Let's
say I go from here to this. Let me turn this off. I'm going to reverse it. So I just hit the archy.
I'm gonna reverse it. And then Here we are in the dining room. Cut. I'm going to use the
back of this chair. Okay. Not in love with that, but let's just get our shots or at least all of our
clips that we've got. I shoot in detail. I'll shoot the quick to be able to go from 16
all the way up to 50. And I'm thinking of
using that one instead. I feel that that moves better. And then did I shoot
a detail? I did. Let me sheet a details that. So from the kitchen
tease the dining. Come back. Show the dining and relationship to the kitchen. Show close up of the dining. And let's reverse this clip. I don't mind that. I
don't mind that at all. Okay. Let's see. Do we want to use any
of those? What is this? That is that's nothing. Okay, these are
the mudroom. Nick. So there's a mudroom, and we have this
pantry right by it. And we have this outdoor Well, let's take the pantry. I don't know if that really
does anything for the edit. Let's see if I can do
anything about the study. Let me bring in this guy. Then let's also get focus. Oh, my goodness. More as a detail shot. The fact that there are
these massively long clips is really killing me. That's the one trade off for just recording a long
clip for the tutorial. It's fine. I like that show. Okay. Let's see. All right. With the kitchen. We'll show this and we
go into the dining, give a little detail for
that dining room table, show it in relationship to the living room.
Go to the pantry. Study space, and then just kind of this
built in mud area. Alright, so let's go ahead
and move from the mud room. And over here we
have the entryway. Entryway, I'm not like
in the front door, but I like this little
side room that, you know, has a
transition to the stairs. And I do like that over here, this is where the
guest bedroom is. So I'm going to use
this area to kind of tie in that guest bedroom so I can knock out
this guest bedroom. So let's go ahead and get
our endpoint. Let's see. Where do I do my move
right there. That's good. And then let's go and
get that guest bedroom. In O. Now we're going to
go down magic line, go on the opposite side. Going backwards. Let's see. Where's my move? There we go. Let's see, probably from there. That's should be good. And now we've got this
bathroom right there. It's my first take. Let's see what my
second take looks like. That looks better. Nice. Alright. That pretty much takes care of
the first floor. Let's go ahead and go
to the second floor.
29. 2.1.28 - Second Floor Edit: I have this d transition, but I wasn't loving this wall, so I know that I did
it on this part. So right there. But then I noticed
that my assistant and myself were in the mirror. So I was trying to hide it. Let's see. Probably
about close to there. It's not too bad. Let's see. What do my other
takes look like? It might have to be that. My little shoulders
right in there. Not the end of the world. Cool. And then let's go on the top of the stairs
and get it coming down. It's like I'm making
my move here. No loving that. Did
I do any others? That one looks a lot
better. That looks good. I'm going to bring it here, and then let's hit the
R button to reverse it. And then let's take
it P right there. So going up and then taking
it from the top angle. Cool. Let's see how from the mud room, how is this edit sounding,
you know, with the music? Alright, for the sake of flow, I think that I'm going to put this guy this bedroom
right after the mudroom. And then I'm going to put Let me see. That's a little long. That goes there. Then the stair. That's better. All right. So now
we are upstairs. And we'll do this kind of rail kind of show this rail that we're
coming from the stairs, so we kind of continue
on with this rail. So I'll take this little
detail shot. Pull back. Show. Okay, maybe right
there. Endpoint. Now, let's go ahead
and get this office. Okay. So And then I'm sure I took it wide. Good. All right. What other
angle that I grab? We'll go down magic line. Okay, about there. Now, we show the other
side of this room. Okay. That takes
care of that room. Let's go into the office. So kind of start off with
this little tease shot. Let the glass pass. So I'm gonna tease it. And then probably go wide. And then let's go
down magic line. Cool. Nice. All right. So the stair landing area, we come up from the stairs. Nice. Tease the office,
go into the office, and then go down magic line. Awesome. Alright. Um, I think
we should go to the master. Yep, master bedroom. So let's see. Did I tease the office
at all? Yes, I did. Or not the office, the
master. So here we go. So let's tease it. A All right. Teas. And then we go wide, I'm sure. Yeah. I started with a wide, so Okay. So I go in nice and
wide. That looks good. So Then let's go down Magic Line on
the other side. Did I go down magic
line? There we go. So Good. So go down magic line. Why do I feel like that's
fast? Let's try this one. I feel like that's a better
better option, better speed. Then we can go into this
room now. All right. So that looks like it's at 35. That looks like it's at 50. So let's use the 50. It should be good. So let's use this one instead. I don't let that first little
heart. That looks good. So in O. And then Let's go tub. Nice straight on. Good. And then the shower. There we go. Let's
let that glass pass. And then the master closet. And then the laundry room, which is right by
the master bedroom, but I always kind of if they intentionally put the
laundry room by the master, I always try to show
it right after. Just 'cause it's like
it's such a convenience that I always let the laundry. I always let the kind of, like, the potential
buyer know, like, Hey, we've got a laundry
right by your master's so I always usually put it
right after the closet. Alright, that takes care of
the master and the laundry. So let's see after the office, let's see how the edit sounds. Tease it to go into the master. Down magic line, go to
tease the bathroom, get in the bathroom. Show that tub and
show that shower. Just kind of feeling
the pacing right now. Make sure it's not like too
long or too short of clips. That looks good. Alright,
let's look at these bedrooms. Oh, that's a great
shot right there. There. Well, I got the choice
to use magic line here, but I think I'm just gonna
go straight to the next. I think I'm just gonna just gonna go straight
to the bathroom. A, let's see. Start there. Cool. Okay. What's next? Looks like I got this bedroom. Yeah, I did the Ts, so and then let's go wide. Okay, that's good. And then there's
a shared bathroom right in here. I got my setting. Okay. And there's the move. All right. There
we go. Got that. And I believe that's
it for upstairs.
31. 2.1.30 - Color Correction and Export: I All right, let's go ahead and let's
start color grading. I'm going to one more
time, just click on this cog wheel to look
at my project settings. I just want to verify
that my color space, my color management
settings are correct. And what you want to make sure is since we did shoot
this in S Log three, we want to make sure
that our color science is DaVinci YR GV color managed. Untick this automatic
color management box, and our processing mode is HDR DaVinci white
Gamut Intermediate. Um my my output color
space is going to beRec seven oh nine Gamma 2.4 because I have a monitor attached
to my MacBook Pro. If I was just going
to be grading this on my MacBook Pro and using this as my final, if you will, my final
viewing monitor, then I would most likely
choose Rec 709 A. But for most everyone, if they're using an
external monitor, Rec seven oh nine Gamma
2.4 should do it for you. Um, anything else out here? I believe that is it. So after I've verified my color management in
my project settings, I'm now going to go
into the color tab. And here in the color
tab, let's go ahead and talk a little bit about
what's going on here. So we have all of our clips, and these clips are represented here by these little blue clips
that are in our edit, and these are the
individual clips that need to be color graded. Down here, these are
the color wheels. Oh, let me reset
this so that way it looks reset the UI layout, and there we go. I should look like this for you. I was messing around
with a few things. So here's our clips and
represented here in the blue, these are color wheels, are the offset and
then the highs, mediums and lows, if you will. Or the lift Gamma gain. Now, what that means is, let me switch this here. This middle section is here, right now it's set on curves, so you can see the curves here. Then here on this
side of the screen, I like to put this
on the parade scope. For lift gamma gain
for these wheels, the way it works is, like I said, these are
high mids and lows. So I can take this
and I got a high, I'm affecting all the highs. All the lows and then
all the mid tones. I can reset it like this. I'm just going to
go ahead and output my monitor so I can see
it here on my side. If you don't have
the professional version or the studio version, then that will probably
be grade out for you. Okay, so yeah, lift gamma gain, and then the offset, you
can see what it's doing. It's offsetting all
three primary colors. Now, for each lift gamma gain, you can also just
adjust the reds, the greens, and the blues
individually that way, or you can go here
in the middle. And let's say in the gain, I want to push it more
towards red or cool it down towards blue.
That's how it works. Normally, I'm working
in the wheels, and then I'm always
messing around with the temperature and
the tint and the contrast. Mid and detail or mid detail.
This is for sharpening. I'm also messing around
with the shadows and highlights and saturation. That's usually what
I'm messing with here in the primaries
color wheels. In this area, I'm
usually in the curves, or the color warper. We'll talk a little bit more
about the color warper. I also use the blur, which is what I use
for sharpening. I know a little
counterintuitive. In terms of the scopes, I'm always using
my parade scopes. So when you first load it up, it's probably on the key frames. So just click it on to
scopes and make sure that you're on the right one. If it doesn't look like
it's bright enough, you can always go to the
options and brighten them here. Okay. So for example, let's look at this drone shot. If we were going to
color grade this, you know, like I said,
we shot this in Dalg. Everything's very washed out. So, you know, if I was
just looking at my parade, I would obviously add some
highlights and some shadow. I would probably add some
contrast with my curve. I would want some saturation. Let's put this like 65, maybe a little bit
more contrast. You can see as I'm
pushing and pulling, then I'm getting the
corrected color that I like, you can see that the
highlights are a little bit more towards blue, obviously because of the sky. If I wanted to balance that
out a little bit more, I can push not the
offsets undo that one. I could push the gain a
little bit warmer just to get the highlights a
little bit more balanced. Now, because, um we
shot this in Dog. We can actually transform our
color space inside of here. So we know that our color
space for our project, we said was in HDR DaVinci
wide gamut Intermediate. So what I'm going to
do is I'm going to just going to right click
and reset this node grade. Now, notice that when we
did all that stuff here, that happened all within
this singular node. That's how you color grade
inside of Divini Resolve, if you've never color graded inside of
this program before. You do it through nodes. So I can add a node. Let's say I want to
add another node. I'm going to right
click add a node, I'm just going to
add a serial node, and then I can say I want
this to be a contrast node. Then I can add another node. And then I can say this
is just for saturation. Okay? So that's the premise. So I'm just going to reset
the right click here, reset all the nodes to be what it was
right when it came in. So instead of doing that
because I shot it in Dalg and, um because I shot in the Dalg there is a way that we can
transform all these. I'm just going to go
into this effects. I'm going to search for
color space transform, and I'm going to add a color space transform into this one. What we're going to do is
we're going to transform our drone color space
into DaVinci wide gamut. Input, we have a DGIDGameut
and we shot it in DJ Dog. We want to output it
DaVinci wide gamut. Oh, and Gamma 2.4. Gamma 2.4. I'm sorry. It's DaVinci Intermediate. Let me label this real quick. This'll VAR color
space transform. All right, so it's
coming in as this, and then I'm going
to make another one. I add a node. I'm
going to add a cereal. I'm going to add this
color space transform, and then we are
going to come in. We're going to come in as Davenci wide gamut and DaVinci
Intermediate is our gamma. And then we're gonna
go out to Rec seven oh nine at Gamma 2.4 because I
have my monitor connected. Okay, so let me label this. So what we want to
do is we want to do all this color correction
inside of here. So how is that going to look? This is normally how I
set up my node structure. What I'll do and the
shortcut to add a node, a serial node is option S. I'm going to label
this as exposure. I'm going to add another node. I'm going to label
this as white balance. I'm going to add another node and label this as
highlights and shadows. Add another node. I'm going
to label this as saturation. I'm going to add another node, and I'm going to label
this as contrast. Also one for sharpness. I'm going to put one for a
denoise and a de flicker. Now, I want to just put my transform node up
here and down here. And then I can clearly see this is all the stuff that I'll be doing to my clips
is right here. And I'm going
linearly like this. So I bring in my color space, I do all this stuff, and then I spit it
out right here. So if I want to change
the exposure on this, then I can change it here, and then I can change
the Y balance here. Let's go ahead let's go
ahead and do this real fast. Let me reset this
node and this node. Just by looking at my scopes, I know that I want to bring up my highlights just
a little bit more. My white balance
actually looks okay. My highlights and
shadows look fine. Saturation. I think I'm
going to push this to 65. Contrast, I usually
like it at 1.1. And because I did that,
I'm also going to add a little S curve in here and see what
it did to my shadows. I'm going to go back to
highlights and shadows. So I'm going to
increase the shadows and bring down the highlights
just ever so slightly. Sharpness. Oop. I
spelled that wrong. Sharpness. You go here, and I use it like at 0.47. And I also put a mid
detail of about 15. And if you want to see what it looks like before and after, you can click on just
the node and hit Command D to see what it
looks like before and after. And then the denoise and the D flicker, it's only
when I need it. I'm actually going
I'm also going to hit Command D on each of these because right now I
don't need a denoise and I don't need a D flicker. So it's just going
to bypass those. So in terms of what my tree
looks like, let's see. I'm going to go to saturation, and I'm going to go to
the color warper I'm going to make this color warper bigger so you can see
what's going on here. I'm going to make this blue a little bit more
like a deep blue. The way the color
warper works is you will get this eyedropper, and so you can see
that wherever I'm targeting that wherever I
go up here in the viewer, it's reflecting where
that color is down here. So if I'm picking the green, notice that it's
picking the green here, and if I pick the blue, it's picking the blue over here. Now, the way it works is
when I click and drag, notice that this color
wheel the further out I go, I get more saturated. And as I go around, it's kind of changing
the hue of the color. So if I click and hold
here with my eyedropper, notice down in the
color warper tool, or in the grid, you can see that my
red um, my red icon, it shows that it's
been targeted, and wherever I turn my mouse, wherever I turn my
mouse away right now, I'm turning my mouse in
this clockwise fashion. It's actually
warping that point. And so if I wanted it more blue, then I could push it more
towards blue. So let's see. I'm going to just undo and let's say I want this
blue value here, and I just want it a
little bit more blue. So now, I can tell that it shifted my
white balance a little bit. So I'm going to go back
to my white balance. And let's try one more. Yeah, a little goes a long way. I'm gonna increase the
shadows just a little bit. Alright, that's
looking good. Anyway, so that is
how I would set up my node structure
for all of this. So the cool thing about DaVinci is we can steal these grades. So I'm going to go
ahead and take a still of this by just right clicking
and saying grabbing still. And I know that for my drone, I want them to all
basically look like this. I'm going to look for
another drone clip here in my clips panel. I know I had it here
towards the end. Okay. So here's an ungraded clip. I'm just going to right click and I'm going to
say apply grade. Notice that when I
apply the grade, it took everything from that. And then here, this is
also from the same flight. I'm actually just
going to click on this and then right click
and hover over this, and I'm also going
to apply that grade. And just like that, it builds out my node tree. Okay. So I'm going to
just fly this grade, apply this grade, and
this one as well. Since all of that was
in the same flight, the lighting was pretty much
the same for all those. Okay, that's all of our
drone footage right there. Now, what about our
S log three footage? Well, I'm just going to go
ahead and steal this grade. And right now my CSTs, my color space transforms
are set for DGIs Dlog. So I'm going to go and
click this Effects panel. Oh, and by the way, to navigate around in here like
this how I'm navigating. I'm just middle clicking
my mouse button. So click on the node, and now I can change
my input color space. I know that my input
color space was Sony's gamut dot cin and the Gamma was
Sony slog three. And then the output
would be the same because I converted it to Danci wide Gamma DaVinci
Intermediate, see? And then I'm spitting it out at Gamma 2.4 because I'm
using my monitor. Let's just make sure these are reset so that these haven't been graded at all. Okay. Close that window. I have a little bit
more real estate here. So I'm going to go ahead and right click
and grab a still, and this will be for
my Sony footage. Okay? I'm going to go ahead and go linearly
here real quick. So I know that for my exposure, it's definitely
looking pretty dark. So I'm going to just
increase the mid tones. White bonds is looking pretty cool and a little bit of tint. Gonna increase the shadow by quite a bit and bring
down the highlights. Increase my saturation 65 gonna increase my
contrast to about 1.1. Make a small curve. And because I did that, I'm going to go back to the shadows. Bring up a little and then
bring down those highlights. For sharpness, I'm going to put this at 0.47, and then put my
med detail to 15. It the before or after. And that's looking
really good. Let me go to the saturation node. Let me see what this
tint looks like. I'm gonna adjust this
tint a little bit. Yeah, 1.5 is looking good. Okay. So I like that. And what I'm going to start
doing is I'm going to just copying these grades. So I'm just going to
click on this clip. All right click here,
apply the grade. And that's already
looking really nice. Same thing here. Let's see. These shadows could probably
be turned up a hair. This entire exposure, I'm
going to just lift it some. At this point, now I'm just
kind of looking at my parade, making sure that things are balanced color temperature wise. It looks a little warm, and yep, you can tell it definitely is. This looks cool and
also kind of blown out. You can see that everything
is kind of high, so I'm going to bring
down the exposure and tint it a little cool, so I'm going to go ahead
and increase the warmth a little bit and bring down
a little bit of that tint. So I love color correction. I mean, for real estate, you want it just to be
pretty much correct colors, and you want it to pop. You know, you want the colors
to pop and to be clean. And so that's usually
what you're looking for. I'm not really grading anything. I'm not grading it to be like, you know, cinematic movie style. I'm just wanting to make
sure that the colors are clean and accurate and that
they pop off my screen. You can see that this is
a pretty dramatic shift. So what I like to
do is I'll choose the white balance and reset it, and then I'll kind of
look for the right value. Here, we can see that
it's a little warm. So there's a little bit of yellowtint so I'm going to
use this here in the middle. Gonna go back to the curves. And then this third item
here in the curves, this is the hue
versus saturation. And so I'm going to
click on my saturation. And then I'm going to click
on the yellow values here, and it's going to
put these points. Every time I click on one of these points, it
puts it up here. And I want to basically click on this yellow
and then bring it down. And that can remove
some of that color cast that I'm not liking and it'll make it a little
bit cleaner in the whites. So that's looking
nice right there. Same with this guy. So I'm going to do the same thing here. Poking down just a hair. So it's not so
overwhelmingly yellow. So you can see you can kind
of breeze through this. So here I'm just kind of
looking at the walls. I just want to make sure that
they look nice and white. I'm gonna reset
this white balance. Something looks off.
Looks kind of cool. What's our saturation here? 65. What's our contrast? 1.1. Maybe you just need a little bit more
contrast. Looks better. I can tell it looks a
little blue over here. So I'm just gonna mix that with the temperature and then hit it with a
little bit of tint. Always keep an eye
on that RGB parade. I could tell that it was too hot and too warm just by
looking at the graph. And this one looks way too cool. Oh, that looks gross. Let's reset this wide balance. Let's reset this exposure. Okay. Okay. Let me just look at
the I'm looking at the porcelain whites
and that towel. Trying to get it
adjusted to that. And let's increase some of these shadow details
in that bathroom, and I can tell that there's
quite a bit of yellow, so I'm gonna go into the
saturation, go to the curves. And let's get some
of these yellows. Just tone it down
just a little bit. So it's not so strong. Cool. Okay, let's go aside. Way too blue. Some of those shadows
are too dark. Very nice. Oh, did I
miss one? I got it. Alright. That didn't take
too long to color grade. Or color correct. Excuse me. The next thing that we
need to do is we need to for all of my gimble shots,
not the ones on my drone, I need to go ahead and smooth it out with
some stabilization. So clicking on the inspector, I'm going to click the clip. I'm going to click this clip and then choose its
stabilization properties here in the inspector window. I like to use translation. I'll bump it up to about
0.88 and hit stabilize. Very nice. And the nice thing is, you can do that with
a bunch of these, so I'll zoom out like a click, take a bunch, set
it to translation, put it around 8.9, and it stabilized, and it'll
do a whole group of them. I guess you can do all
of them at one hit, but I don't want to
tax it too much. All right. So now that everything's been color graded and everything's
been stabilized, it should be nice
and smooth now. And it's looking really good. So I'm happy with my edit.
I'm going to go to the end. I'm going to hit the
ok for out to select this entire section because this is what I want
to deliver or export. So what I like to do I'm just going to choose
one of these. I'm going to export
it as a vimeo clip. And then I'll add
it into the queue. I'll also make
myself h264 master. And that's looking great. Let's put It's not really four KUHD I'll add
that to the Que. Now that I have them
both, I'm going to shift, select them both and
render all of it. Okay, the HD version
is almost done, and then it's just going
to go ahead and go right into the UHD version. So just let this guy go. Okay, just about done
with the UHD version. Nice. So I'm just gonna right click here and
then reveal it in the finder. Double click it. There it is. And that is the
finished product. That is the color grading and the render portion
of this project. That's from start to finish.
That's how you do it.
32. 2.1.31 - Thank You: Includes this portion
of my course on how to shoot professional real estate and luxury property videos. You should now have a core
understanding of how I set up my Sony gear to shoot real estate and what my
camera settings are. You've seen how I shoot a
home from start to finish, and I welcome you to emulate
and copy that style. And you've seen my workflow for both editing and
color correction inside of DaVincia Resolve. The real estate industry is a hungry market for media needs, and video has been a great
offering that has gotten a lot of eyes on me and
plenty of repeat business. Thanks again for joining
me, and I wish all of you the very best.
Happy shooting.
