Learn Videography with the Panasonic GH6

1. GH6 Introduction: Hi, my name is Greg Kong. I'm a Canadian content creator of over ten years, and I'm from Vancouver, Canada, as you can see behind me. This is the Panasonic GH six. This is a beast of a camera and probably one of the best micro four-thirds camera out there right now. And it is March 2023. The Panasonic GH F5 really broke some ground back in 2017, being able to shoot for K 60 frames per second. And it had an amazing stabilization which allowed a lot of filmmakers to shoot handheld. And the Panasonic GH six continues these innovations. There had been releases between the Panasonic GH 5.6. But some of the groundbreaking features are 5.7 k 60 frames per second, ten bits, as well as for k 120 frames per second. You can even record to the ProRes format right onto this SSD drive externally or into a CF Express card. Of course, there's a lot more features that we're going to look at on the GH six. This course is for content creators, for online teachers, for travel videographers that wants to learn the video feature set off this camera. It can shoot photos and can shoot time lapses. But our focus is gonna be on the video features aimed at the beginner. So we're gonna take a look at the design of the camera, the controls. There's some new buttons on this camera. There's some new angles that the screen can articulate into. And of course, we can connect an external SSD to allow us to record to the hard drive. We're gonna get comfortable with the controls. And then we're going to take a look at the menu. I'm going to show you some of the essential Menu features that you need to set right before you start shooting your footage. After that, I'm going to go out into the field. We're gonna be shooting out a lot of different resolutions and frame rates. We're going to take a look at what is the best situation for recording at this recording resolution, this frame rate, this recording format, I'm talking about ProRes or traditional H264 or MOV file. All those types of things. We're gonna be going behind the scenes to my post-production workstation, where I'm going to show you which computer I'm using my monitor setup, my video editing software, and then I'm going to share my workflows for producing YouTube videos, stock footage, as well as online courses. If this sounds interesting, I look forward to seeing you inside the course to really maximize the potential of this BCE, the Panasonic GH. 2. Why I upgraded to the GH6 from the GH5 - Key Differences: So one of the reasons why I upgraded to the GH sex was because it's been five years since 2017. And I believe that is a lot of time in a tech focus products for a lot of innovations and new technology. And I wanted that extra visual quality when it comes to my online courses and my YouTube videos. So I'm actually filming with the J6 now because before I was falling with the GH five, showing my age six cameras. So hopefully you'll be able to see the visual quality difference, some of the dynamic range behind me. It should be capturing a bit more of the highlights, the detail from behind me. I noticed sometimes with j5 that a background will be blown out, especially if it was backlit. So what are some of the direct competitors and the technical specs that I left out. So I'm actually going to refer to it because we're gonna get pretty technical here. The Panasonic GH six has a 25 megapixel sensor with parallel readouts for improved dynamic range. I mentioned the built-in fan for unlimited recording and a stabilization system rated to 7.5 EV. It also has full sensor anamorphic shooting. And let's look at some of the direct competitors to the H6 course. We have the Sony A7 S3, which is full frame. It's more expensive and it has a whole different type of lens ecosystem. So the GH five S2 features no dual native ISO or dynamic range, boost mode, and no ProRes or no 5.7 k, no cooling fan. And for the price, if it's 1,500 to 1,700 US, you might as well pay a little bit more to have a newer product. Some other competitors to the GH six include the Blackmagic Pocket Camera, six K Pro. This has a larger super 35-millimeter sensor, can capture six K video in raw format. However, it lacks autofocus, image stabilization and weather sealing. The Sony fx three is another competitor. It's a compact full-frame cinema camera that can shoot for k up to 120 frames. Similar to the GH six. It as fast autofocus, image stabilization and a cooling system. However, it does not have an electronic viewfinder like the GH sex or dual card slots. Another competitor to the Jewish sex is the Fuji x H2. It's an APS-C hybrid camera that can shoot aka up to 30 frames. For k, up to 24, 240 frames. Fast autofocus image stabilization. However, it doesn't have internal raw recording or full-size HDMI ports. So there you go. Those are some of the competitors. The GH sex is, I would say generally, it's a very value conscious product, meaning that it's good quality, offers a lot of features. And I believe it's still punches above its weight class, just like the GH five did in 2017. 3. Gh6 - Unboxing and Setup: Alright, let's get to the actual unboxing. I'm actually pretty excited now that I've been talking up this camera. Alright, so it comes with a manual. So tip here, Don't, even though you may not user's manual, most people just use PDF or watch YouTube videos or just learned on the job or in the fields, the resale value. Keep your resale value if you keep the box and the manual. Alright, so what do we have? Here? We've got the actual camera, it's heavy, it's in a protective case. We've got the strap and it looks like we have a USB-C to USB-A cable. We have some other type of cable. Open these later. We have the charter. Looks like more stuff and the actual battery. So the first thing I would want to do is actually charged this up. So let me go ahead and charge it up and then we'll actually take the camera out of its cover. Alright, so I've just cleared the table a little bit and I've got the battery charger and it's got a plug. So I realize how to connect. You actually need to take out the cable. And you need to plug-in the USB-A. So this part and the USB-C to the other end. Here's the GH six battery. So I'm actually going to see how much charge they give you out of the box. And this is the G H Phi battery. I'm going to quickly test it as well to see if it works. So the batteries look pretty identical. Now it's the moment of truth. We're going to box this. Alright. So how does this compare? It feels like the grip. It's a little bit easier to grip. And the screen just feels a little bit more sturdy when you slide it out. But it still has a very similar feel. Now the actual design, it feels like the edges are a little bit more sharp, little bit more chiseled. And you can see the the fan cooling system on the left-hand side. Let's actually plug in the battery. It looks like the battery slot is in the same place. This is the very first time. I'm actually looking at this. So let's put it in. Let's turn this on. And I have 1 bar. Probably can't see that, but I've 1 bar, so I definitely have to charge this right away. Alright, let's try the GH phi battery and see how much of a charge we get. For a charge this let's turn this on. Nice. I get a full charge. And the first thing it wants me to do is to set the language. So I'm gonna go ahead and do that soon. Okay? So after I've done that, the camera looks ready to go. So alright, time to put the GH five lens in here and swap it out. So take the lens cap off. We've got the sigma 18, 35 with the Ville trucks adopter. So it's the moment of truth. I'm just going to clean the lens a little bit. Alright. Check the lens cap off. The lineup. There we go. That's our GH sex is looking pretty mean now. 4. GH6 Essential Accessories: Alright, we're gonna take a look at some of the accessories that we have for the H6. So first off is the lens adopter. I've got the vault trucks mounts adopter EFM 2.71. So this allows me to connect this Canon lens to the GH sex. You can also get metal bones. This lens is made for Canon, but this lens adapter is a must-have. Next, we have the LED light. I love it because provides light. But it also has three hot shoe mounts on left and right side and the top. And what that allows me to do is put additional things. So I'm just going to show you an example. I'm actually using this road right now to record the sound. But just so you can see, we can attach it on the side here. Just like that. Yeah. So now I can see that we've got the road on the side and then we can also put this external SSD. So this here is actually a rig that holds the SSD. So this rig you can purchase on Amazon. It's made by company called small rig. There we go. I can see it more clearly. Here it is. This is a small rake. So this uses a hot shoe mount as well. And this is designed to hold this SSD. Otherwise, the SSD is just going to not going to be anywhere for it to be fixed. So this is kinda the custom rig. This is how I'm going to shoot out in the field. I might not need to have the audio, but I might not need the light. But if I'm just shooting stock footage, I might just shoot like with the SSD on top. But if I'm doing a video in the studio, I'd definitely use the light and sound. But for vlogging, I tell you this is pretty heavy. Okay, So those are the accessories that I have. Again, the LED, which has the hot shoe mounts that I use for the road. And I've also got the rig for the SSD. And so if I'm shooting stock footage, I'll probably just have the SSD, which would allow me to record to ProRes direct to the SSD. Speaking of which this is where we're gonna go out in the field experiments and shoot different resolutions. With this SSD on the GH sex. 5. Gh6 Menu - Essential Video Settings: Okay, Here's a tour of the menu, and this is not a comprehensive tour, but it's the key settings that I look at when I'm configuring the menu. So we press the menu button to enter it. And if we go to the photo icon and we jump over to the right, you can see the photo style. So this is where some key settings are sunny, like D12. You don't have to do much there. We can just use the wheel on the top right to switch to Sydney leg V2. We have like seven or nine and then the famous log color profile, which is pretty flat. And you'll have to spend some time in post-production, but you have a lot of flexibility. So if you select any of these, you can also further adjust them. So that's where you find it. You can just move down over here and then you can adjust the highlights within the profile and then you can save it. I like to use sunny like v2 when I don't want to spend time in post-production. So let's go to the next menu. And that's the camera icon here. So this is where we can change it from ProRes to MOV. So MOV is pretty standard Pro Razi need the CF Express card or the SSD sum. Actually, I'm just going to plug it in because I'm going to show you that menu as well. So let's just put this on here. Plugging in. Okay. So now we're on progress Recording Quality. This is a very important menu. This is where you change all the recording formats and frame rates. So this is going to look different depending on if you have the SSD on here. And it's really impossible to go through every single one of them. Generally the highest quality formats are near the top. And if there is a variable frame rate, which we will explain, it will say VFR. So there's a lot of information here. Generally, the resolution is listed here. And the frame rate. Apple ProRes four to two. And that's the throughput one gigabits per second and the recordable slots, so SSD slot one. See how that changes if the further we go down, the throughput goes lower. And as I go down to HD, it looks like we can record slot 1.2. So two is the, the SD card slot. Okay, so we don't have as many options with Torres. So let's just go back. Let's switch this to a movie. Select. Yes. And you can see that we got a lot more to choose from. So when it says VFR available, that means we can set the variable frame rate. Okay, so popular options, recording options are for K 120 frames per second. So you can see here, this is for k resolutions 120 frames, 300 mb throughput. This is also UHD for K 120 frames per second. So you can just scroll through the menu here. So my favorites are five points, seven K, 24 frames, and the four K at 120 frames. So if we select this. Sometimes it'll complain, you can't select certain recording modes if it's not in the recording format on the top wheel here. If it's not on the recording formats or if you're using the external SSD. So let's actually take it out. And actually if you want to use the SSD, this is where you do it. This is where you would actually format your SSD card. This is where you would turn it off. Okay, so now we've got no memory card inside. I'm using it on the GH five. So if we go back here for k hundred and 20 frames, sales say it needs to be in reg mode, so let's switch to wreck mode. Now I'll select it. This item cannot be selected when dynamic range boosters on. So that's another setting we need to show you. Dynamic range boosters on the camera icon on page one, just below the photo style to below the photo style. So we'll select off. Okay, so if we go back here, we should finally be able to select for K 120 frames and variable frame rates. This is where you can set it for resolutions that have VFR available. So this is where you set the slow motion. Let's select something with the FR. Now can be confusing, so definitely need to play around with this experiments because there's just so many combinations. Okay, if variable frame rate. So this is where we can actually play around with the slow motion effect. And we'll dive into that a little bit more later on. But this is where you would set it if you're choosing a recording format with VFR. The other option I wanted to show you is how to set the system frequency and save to customers. So if we go to the wrench, go to the icon. Looks like the settings saved custom mode, C1, C2, C3. So those all match up to the top wheel there. So if you find a particular resolution and frame rate that you like, like for counter and 20 frames, you can save it there. So I'll just show you an example. I've actually set my C1 for k hundred and 20 frames. They can see their top. Or c two is 5.7 K at 24 frames, so that's easily accessible. So that's definitely something that you need to do once you decide on which recording format you want to access frequently. Okay, so system frequency is over here. Mine is set to cinema on the advice of the Lumix YouTube channel. But if you're in Europe, I know they use PAP Powell, 50 hz and NTSC in North America. So depending on which of these you set, it's actually going to change your frame rates. I know shooting at NTSC 24 frames a second, you would want to shut your shutter speed to double that. That's in the past, but now things are just a lot more complex. So hopefully that gives you a little taste of the menu and some of the main functions that you need. There's just so many options that you can scroll and browse through. And normally if you really need something like you need to format a card, you'll go hunting for it. And I wish there was a search on the menu. It would be fairly useful, but the recording quality is probably where you're going to spend most of your time to find which of these formats that you like. So hopefully this was a good introduction to the menu and doesn't cover everything. But yeah, that's our introduction to the menu. 6. Introduction to ProRes: Alright, you may be wondering what is the fuss about the pro res formats. So in this video, we're going to dive into pro rise a little bit further. There's actually five variations of ProRes and it gets pretty technical. So I'm just going to refer to my notes here. So we have ProRes 4444x cubed. Prores, 444 ProRes four to two HQ ProRes four to two crores, four to two LT. Alternative to ProRes is you can record in H.264, H.265. But those codecs or formats are highly compressed and they actually require more processing power in your video editor. So the two Koreas formats that the GH six supports is polarized 422h cubed, which is the higher-quality version compared to polarize for two to which the GH six also shoots up. So the quality of Perez is four to two and has a data rate of about 220 mbps. It doesn't support alpha channels, but it's higher-quality than ProRes. Four to two crores for G2 is the default and workhorse video format optimize for media and Final Cut Pro X. It doesn't support alpha channels, but it offers a good balance between quality and file size. So there you go. That's a little introduction to the different ProRes formats. So you may want to consider what is the purpose of your video. If it's for a stock footage, you probably want to max out your quality. And if you're using an external hard drive, you may want to test a video file, just do 1 min of video, tracks the file size because the file sizes on Flores format videos and get super-large. So you definitely don't want to be doing a video course in crores at this time due to the file sizes, H.264, H.265, or give you a lot smaller file sizes, but they will tax your video editing software a lot more. Progress is optimized for video editing programs like Premiere Pro, like Final Cut Pro, they have faster playback. And because they're not as compress, there are a lot faster and easier to video edit with. So hopefully you found this video helpful. Introduction to progress. 7. Recording to Pro Res on SSD vs The CF Express Card: Okay, we're going to look a little bit deeper into the difference between the SSD external hard drive and the CF Express card format. So these are two new options that you can record your video footage on the GH six. Now generally, an external SSD is gonna be more cost effective, but you have additional cable hanging out and you have to buy a accessory in the form of an external SSD rig to hold your SSD and it just adds a bit more weight. Whereas a CF Express card has the support slots in slot number one. So it's hidden. It's a little bit sleeker, but it's more expensive. Let's take a look at some of the pricing between an SSD and CF Express card. And just note that there are specific SSD drives and CF Express cards that are supported by the G16. I'm using a Samsung T7, 1 tb external SSD. So the lexer professional CF Express type B card has a capacity of 128 gb, maximum read speed of 1,900 mbps, and maximum right speed of 1,700 mbps and costs 200 US. Let's compare that with the SanDisk Extreme portable SSD with a capacity of 1 tb. 1 tb is definitely more than 128 gb. So again, more capacity. The maximum read speed is ten, 50 mbps. So it's a little bit slower than the CF Express card. The maximum right speed is 1,000 mbps, compared to 1,700 mbps on the CF Express card. So the read and write speed on external SSD is a little bit less. But this external SSD only costs 110 US compared to 200 for the CF Express card. So that's up to you if you want to spend a little bit more just to have a card that can read and write Foster. You get lower capacity, but you don't have to have a cable dangling over the camera. So it's your choice. But if you do decide you want to go the external SSD route, you will need to upgrade your firmware to version 2.2. In general, the process is you go to the Panasonic websites, you download the latest firmware as of March 2023, that's version 2.2. So you download the files, you put them to the roots of your SD card. You go to your camera, you go to the firmer section and you select Update. You will need to have the full charge on the battery because the firmware upgrade process could take some time. In my experience, I think it took 20 or 30 min, but it could take longer. So just be prepared for that. And I have a video that will go into more detail. Actually show you the screen by screen. But yeah, again, the main point is to unlock the external SSD recording. To allow you to record in ProRes format, you will need to upgrade your former 22.2 on the G6. 8. How to use the Panasonic GH6 as a Webcam: Hey everyone, It's Greg homecare. We're going to show you how you can use your Panasonic GH six as a webcam. And just a little bit of context before you used to be able to display the Panasonic GH five using the Lumix software. And you would have to go to OBS and have a middle man software or middle layer. But now you can use your GH sex direct as a source. So I'm going to show you how you can do that. First thing you need to do is go to the appropriate website, which I'll link to below. And it's Lumix web cam software Beta. So what you will need to do is look under your camera on the battery cover for your unique code. And let's just take a look at some of the important details here. So it's for Windows and for Mac. And I recommend using the cable that's included with your camera for charging the battery. And the optimum solution resolution is 12 80 by 720. And here are the supported models. Here the high-level steps download the software, connect the camera to the PC using the include a cable, then open your app. So we're going to show you how to do this in Zoom as well as OBS Studio. Alright, and there's also videos on this, but I like to think mine's more exciting and to the point. So here are the minimum requirements. You need to click this button here, software download. And this is where you would scroll down except the agreements. And then you need to put in your model of your camera and choose Windows or Mac. Mark is on the right. So they do have the J6. And then you need that code over here. Click download, install the software, restart. So right after that, I've already got my camera connected. I'm going to go to OBS. And I'm going to add a new scene here. So I'll do a new scene. She H6 ups, G, H6 you to start from scratch. So I click Plus, and I believe it's Display Capture. So display is actually for the screen recording. So you can just have one for your screen. Then you need another one for the actual video source. Believe it is video capture device. She H6. Be. Okay. Now for the device you're going to select Lumix web cam software. Okay, so I'm going to click Okay. And this is where you can resize your feed. So I'm just testing here, putting my camera in front of the G16. Some tips are to use a tripod and I just use manual focus. We could so close I can actually reach the lens barrel and just place just place it where you want. So you can adjust this to how you want it. So ideally you have two screens, one for OBS and then the other ideally sharing your second screen. So just imagine that this background here is gonna be a desktop or showing something, but I'm displaying OBS right now. When you're ready, you want to click transition to bring that scene to the actual program. So that's what's gonna be re-recording. And that's it for OBS. Some tips are to make sure you've got your audio. I'm not doing that now. But you can go to microphone auxiliary audio, select that. Otherwise you're just getting get video from the JH six. Okay, so I'm going to close this. We're gonna go to Zoom. Let's say you go to settings, video, Lumix, web cam software. I'm upside down here. Click there, and there we go. So we are good to go on Zoom. Now I haven't tried this out yet. But I wonder if the green-screen is going to help us. So I'm going to click, I have a green screen. And you got to make sure you've got uniform lighting. I would say my lightings. Okay. It's not the best. I don't have even lighting right now. Let's just see if I can try out a different background. So yeah, I think you get the point here that we can really take advantage of. The Panasonic GH six is a webcam in Zoom or OBS, and I think this is a good way to increase the production value of your live streams using this camera. So hope you found this helpful. 9. An Introduction to Stock Footage: So the GH sex has access to a lot of recording formats and you can shoot high resolution. You can shoot really high-quality formats with ProRes HQ. And this is a great opportunity for you to license your footage using the stock footage business model. So what does that mean? As video editors, we know that sometimes we need additional footage to maybe mask high or just to show something visually that we're talking about as B-roll. So there's sites like story blocks, Shutterstock, and foreign five that license out this footage for you on their marketplace. So you can put some stock footage clips. Maybe it could be someone eating so Raman or maybe you, I could just show a close-up of a particular type of food because the travel-related footage, Let's just say you're a bank hawk and you're forming the skyline. I've shot and sold clips of all these types. The Panasonic GH sex because it has these cutting edge resolutions and frame rates. It's naturally, it's going to give you an advantage to be able to shoot things that may have been already shot and uploaded. But they're not in this type of resolution quality that previous generations of cameras didn't have access to. So you may want to take a look at it. A good way to get started is you can look at platforms like on five Shutter stock. Take a look at their requirements, how to become a contributor. If you wanted to take a deeper dive, you can take a look at my course just to give you an idea. You can put clips up on these platforms for let's say, $50-100 US, maybe even more if it's a drone clip and you can license them, you can keep potentially 50% of the net earnings. It is a nice side income and it does have a long shelf life. The videos that you shoot, maybe still selling five or ten years from now. I have videos that are shot in 2012, 2013 on a Canon SLR in HD. And I'm still amazed that they still sell, even though that type of video formats is a little bit outdated. In 2023. 10. Behind the scenes of my Video Editing and Workspaces Setup: Hey, it's great Kong hair. And I said I would share my behind the scenes workflow for video editing, my work setup, and let's get started. So I'm at my home office and I prefer to video edit from home. I can focus less distractions compared to a workspace like we work where I'm on the hot deserts, There's just a lot of distractions from other people, etc. And I've got a standing desk here. I've got a cis, UHD fork, a monitor that's adjustable. So I can actually use this as a standing desk and I can swivel the screen vertically, which I don't do too often. Right now I've got my webcam here. I'm experimenting with different setup. And I've got my Windows laptop here, which I used to use quite often for traveling with Premiere Pro. It's got 16 gb of RAM. I've got the Adobe Creative Cloud membership. So I can actually have Premier Pro on multiple laptops. So I have it on here. I don't use it too often. I've got this Blue Yeti mic if I need to live stream. But I'm still experimenting with this setup and this is more of the work in progress, a standing desk workstation. So now I'm going to show you my primary workstation where I do my video editing. Everyone. Welcome to my primary home office, where I do the bulk of my video editing. I'm going to share my behind the scenes for which gear I use and which software, et cetera, et cetera. So I'm actually using a MacBook Pro M1 2020 with 16 gb of RAM. And it's served me very well. I know they've got the M2 Apple chips now, but the M1 was revolutionary. It was Apple's first silicon processor with integrated graphics. And it's amazing, it's good enough to edit the video footage from the GH six. I'm talking about ProRes, 5.7 k footage or maybe not 5.7 k5k. The highest, pretty much the highest quality that the H6 camera can produce can be edited comfortably. On this computer, the MacBook Pro. And I use Premiere Pro as my primary video editor when I'm editing online courses where I've got to edit a lot of videos and I need that better project management. And the integration with story blocks, which is a stock footage company, allows me to just edit more efficiently than I could with Final Cut Pro. So the premiere Pro is a ongoing subscription and I've got the sweet, so I've got access to Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Rush, and Adobe CC expressed, which I use for my YouTube thumbnails and social media graphics. So that works out pretty well for me. I use Final Cut Pro as well. And that was great because I paid for it back in 2011, lifetime onetime price, which is hard to find these days. So that's a great value, especially if you want to step it up from iMovie, which is the built-in software on the Mac, which is pretty good in itself. But Final Cut Pro is very good, especially for creative videos, one-off videos. I find that generally easier to use. And I do have an online course just on Final Cut Pro and for Premiere Pro, if you want a deep dive into that. So that's my computer and the software. And so here my headphones I'm using for editing. I'm thinking of upgrading soon. These are sanitizer Bluetooth and their noise canceling there. They can fold up so you can travel with them. I'm starting to use earbuds more using job bro, elites haven't tried on the AirPods yet. I definitely love to use the magic mouse by Apple. It's hard not to edit with it, and I'll always have a mouse pad with me when I've, especially using the Apple mouse. Here is the SSD hard drive from the G16, which you can record straight to now with a firmware upgrade. So this is awesome because you can take it out of the GH six and plug it right into the computer. So it's just one less step. You don't have to use a SD card to copy off the footage. You can just plug the hard drive in directing the computer and you're good to go. So that's something new for 2023. So we've got this green screen background I'll put behind the chair. So it does exactly what you think it will. Kind of just gives me a green screen radius. If I want to swap out the background, I could, I wouldn't be able to do it on this video because I wanted to show some of my, my gear here. But I've been experimenting with OBS. I'll actually face the computer and I'll put the GH six facing my chair and the green screen. And I'll swap out the background. So that's something I'm experimenting with. I've also got this softbox here. I know it's yeah, it doesn't look like it's a five-star lights and it isn't, but it's actually lasted me quite long. You can just get variations on this on Amazon. Whatever it is is very useful. This white screen diffuses the light. If I turn it on and might be too much, might blow out our exposure here. So that's why I've turned it off. But that's very useful. So I've got a monitor here is just an HD monitor. It's adjustable. I showed you my fork, a monitor. I just don't have the right accessories right now. I've got a dongle here that serves as a hub. So these are very useful for laptops these days, you need to plug-in SD cards, external USB, hard drives, HDMI cables, and just, just, just an essential these days. Other essential accessories I have are my external mic. This is an XLR mic, Shure SM58. I use it for live streaming and voice-overs. This is plugged into my H5 Zoom field recorder, and this helps me amplify the audio. It's got two channels and it's good quality. So, yeah, use that for live streaming and voice overs. My external hard drives, I think I have a 16 or 12 terabyte, USB, three hard drive, and Western Digital. So I have two or three of them to store all this footage, all this footage. The GH five was creating a knowledge age six, the files are absolutely huge when you're doing ProRes. So you need that longer-term storage. For short-term storage, Samsung SSD works well. I also have the SanDisk Extreme over here, which I use if it's assembling of the cowork space and I want to edit some videos. I'll just copy it into here or from traveling, I'll use this. I also sometimes I used to use these external USB three hard drives, 5 tb. And this one here is a DJI addition. It's actually got a mini SD Bolton. So these are useful for traveling. Yeah. I guess the last thing I can talk about as the chair. This chair has adjustable arms. It's okay. I use a cushion here just for my back. I think it's important to focus on ergonomics long-term, you end up sitting a lot of times when your video editing. So I'm actually going to look into getting a more comfortable chair, maybe one of these gaming or office chairs you can get from Amazon. The current shares I have I think I've outgrown. And standing deaths are also very helpful. It's been studied, so I've shown standing is also healthy. So look out for some changes there in the future. Hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes. And I'm also going to show you the actual video editing setup for Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. So I hope you enjoyed this video behind the scenes. 11. Final cut pro gh6 video editing behind the scenes: What is up, everyone, Greg Kong here and welcome to a behind the scenes look at my Final Cut Pro Video Project shot with the Panasonic GH six in 2023. I thought I'd share behind the scenes. It's been a little while. I've been upgrading my gear slowly. But I think this is really relevant for the video editors or video producers with the Panasonic GH six. So version 10.6, 0.5. This is pretty current. And yeah, I created this project in 38, 40 times 21, 24 frames. Uhd, also known as ultra H D. And the video is about New York giving some tips here. The base layer, the main video projects, it's a talking head video shot in full for k, As we can see in the top right. And I've overlaid clips here. As the project moves on, I'm just going to mute the projects. I've used a variety of different clips. I've got some clips from the drone, from my GoPro. Just put in a title here. So for GH six footage, really, you don't need to do anything special for those clubs that you shot in five k. I mean, I would still use for YouTube, but I would still do a fork a project because YouTube, as far as I know and doesn't support five K yet. But if you're doing stock footage, then I would use the full resolution. This is an example of a 5.75. If I highlighted here, you can see the information in the inspector in the top-right. Could see 57, 20 times 30, 24. You see that it's shot in Apple ProRes four to two. So e.g. if I just wanted to create a stock clip, I would right-click on this clip, select New Project. And I would go to video, I'll go to five K. But even this resolution five K is 51, 20 times 21, 60, which is lower than the five points, seven K. So I'd name this five k stock footage. But we may even have to justice because there's some gaps so it can move in here. Yes. So that's that's just an example. I'm using a M1 MacBook Pro, 16 gb of memory 2020. It can handle the five K footage on ProRes, just fine. I'm happy to see that. Because usually when you have a new technology from a camera, it's often ahead of the computer processor, graphics cards. So I remember when I got a Panasonic GH five, my MacBook Pro 2013 with 16 gb memory was just struggling, but it's good to see that even with the high powered five K footage shot with the G H6, that the MacBook Pro m1 can still handle it just fine. Okay, Over here, I've been creative. I got some footage from Google Maps. I created this in iMovie and got some lower thirds here just to help reinforce with texts what the what the clip or what I was talking about. And you can see here I've overlaid some GoPro footage moving on. Usually I'll put an adjustment layer above the entire project with with a lot or some type of color correction. But for whatever reason I didn't in this case. So just zooming out here in the video with the call to action like subscribing and time-lapse underneath. And then I fade out. So that's yeah, look behind the scenes of a video project in 2023 shot with the J6. I'm just going to quickly show you the adjustment layer. I think it's something that's really useful. Adjustment layer actually doesn't come out of the box. You can create one yourself if you have motion. What I've done here is I've created a Adjustment Layer pack. You can download, you can install it. So for my projects, NYC one, just check it here, highlighted. I can see here in the top right, Let's UHD. So I've got adjustment layers for different resolutions. So I've actually got a UHD one. So if you get my package, this is what it will look like for you. Ultra for k. So I'd lay it on top. And then you expand it out over the entire projects. So let's just say I wanted some type of Lutz or color filter applied to the entire projects. So you can even apply comic looks. So I can apply this comic look filter to the adjustment layer and look instantly the entire project is now converted into a comic look. And you can adjust the intensity. So super powerful when you can adjust things on that level. I want to apply a lot. I could do that. I'm just going to delete that. Affect is actually the effects. I can apply that to the adjustment layer and then select clean and tidy just for nice. But more saturation. And nice thing is applies to the entire project. So last thing I would need to do is export settings, video and audio. Then, depending on the footage, select the right codec, H.264 is fine for YouTube. If it's stock footage, I would select pool ProRes four to two HQ. There we go. So hope you found this video helpful. Giving you a look at how to handle GH six footage shot in higher resolutions and different codecs from your H.264, which is more compressed to ProRes HQ, which is less compress, but easier to work with in the video editor and more desirable when it comes to selling stock footage. Hope you found that helpful. 12. Editing GH6 Footage on Adobe Premiere Pro : Hey, what's up, everyone That's Greg hung here. I'm going to share with you a behind the scenes look at a video I've shot in New York and consists of footage shot from the Panasonic GH six, a drone GoPro 11. So a mixture of footage here in Premier Pro. And I'll just point out some things that went behind this video here. So I'm not sure why this is showing like this, but this is my panel that connects the story blocks. So this is a subscription-based service. I'm through here. I can actually look for footage, that additional footage that I can browse for music. It looks like smell functioning right now, but when it does work, it is super convenient because I can just look for additional footage to add to my video straight from Premiere Pro. Okay, Now it's working so I'll just show you an example of a need additional footage for New York. I can search for a video and you can see here, wow, look at this amazing clip. Statue of Liberty. I can even get a pro res version. I can get a nice drone clip. So just adding a few of these clips at beginning or within my video if I didn't have time, you can add additional production values. So you can see here, I'll just show you the timeline. Point your attention to the timeline. Well, before I do that, I just want to show you we can also search for other things, audio music, sound effects. So I'm just going to add music. If I want to find some hip hop, do a search. So I can also, I can also add music straight into my projects. So those clips, those assets get populated in the project panel. So let's just expand that first. So you just get a sense of what type of assets I have in my videos. So these g, x vowels, these are GoPro shot in a variety of different frame rates and resolutions. So these are five k you can see here 53, 12 times 29, 88. I think we're living in a world now there's a lot of different, different resolutions and frame rates. But I've decided on on a project that's UHD, which is 38, 40 times 21, 60. So this is a lower version of four K. And I think that's good. That's a good future proof. Resolution to be creating your videos. Youtube does support them. And there's a lot of for k monitors and TVs now. So I think it's time to shoot and higher resolutions in HD and also create your projects at least in UHD minimum. Here are some for k clips, full for K shot from the past sonic J6. You can even see some five K clips, 5.7 K. And because I'm using a lower resolution project like UHD, that means I can actually zoom in, crop in a little bit on these clips and how some room to play with. Here are the clips from story blocks you can tell these are in HD. So that's the one thing when you're using stock footage companies like story blocks gotta make sure that you're getting clips in for K. If you're gonna be using them in a four K projects. So that's actually something that I didn't account for when I downloaded it so that, that could actually limit your options. Not everyone has four K this, see this here. It's from story blocks. There's a four K version. And ProRes. If I shoot ProRes clips with my GH sex, I would actually just incorporate them in the project. But it doesn't matter if, you know, eventually I have to create a H.264 compressed video project for YouTube because it's gonna get compressed. Anyways, I'm using my ProRes HQ clips for stock footage because That's where I think I would actually get the value from shooting those clips. So anyways, that's the look at the media browser. So here's a look at my video project. You can see I've got an audio track on the bottom there. And let me just mute that so it doesn't hurt your ears. I've got an adjustment layer here. So the supply's adjustment layer applies my, my lot, my color correction overall for the projects, so I don't have to color grade every single clip. And from there, it's basically just laying down the clips. I got some transitions. Use the mixture of footage from different cameras. Try to keep things exciting. Each camera has their strengths. The GH six has that 120 frames per second for k. So I think I've got some of that in this video. The GoPro is awesome for hyper lapses. And then I've also got some drunk clips in here. So yeah, I mean, every video projects can be unique, but some common elements I have adjustment layer, I try to overlay my main video layer with B-roll. As you can see here. On V2. V1 is where I just have the, you know, the main clubs with some transitions. And then I like to add a video project with a call to action, like subscribe, fade out to black. And always good to have a title. So there we go. That's behind the scenes of a premier pro quo ducts in 2023 using footage from the Jewish six, GoPro 11 and a DJI mini to drone. Hope you found that helpful. 13. Summary : Alright, congratulations, you've made it to the end of the course and hopefully you've learned a lot about your Panasonic GH six. You have unlocked some new features, you've picked up some new tips. Maybe it's how to access the 5.7 k at 60 frames per second and save that as a preset. Maybe it's how to set up external SSD recording in ProRes. Or maybe it's how can you actually monetize on the footage, on the H6 through the stock footage, business model, whatever it is. Hopefully you've taken some information away with you in this course and you're ready to get started with the GH sex to create some amazing videos. Thanks a lot, and I hope to see you online soon.
