1. Introduction: Hello everyone. Thank you very much for clicking in this video, my name is lambdas and I'm a third year medical student and part-time filmmaker. And after five years in the field and the industry of filmmaking, after collaborating with many, many brands and producing countless of edits and videos for my YouTube channel that has more than 1.5 million total views. I made the scores to teach you seven hacks into making your videos look more professional. Now, if you make this about 30 minute investment and follow what I say in this course, trust me, this will pay off massively because I really compressed in seven simple lessons that anyone can follow all the experience that I've gained from the past five years in the filmmaking industry. Now keep in mind, I've never went to film school and ever sat down with someone to teach me filmmaking or anything that I'm saying you in this course, I learned everything from hustling trial and error and just grabbing my camera and go out to shoot. So everything that I'm telling you right here is from personal experience. So I hope that you will find value in what I'm delivering you in this course. And I'll see you in the first lesson.
2. Slow Motion: Hello everyone. Thank you very much for joining me in this first lesson of the seven hacks to make your videos look professional. In this lesson, without any further ado, we're going to talk about the importance and the power of slow motion. Now, slow motion is a cinematographers and videographers best friend. Slow motion makes footage look better, smoother and more cinematic. By slowing down Eclipse, we draw the viewer's attention in the main subject of the video, of course. And we also diminish any shaky movements if this group was handheld, here's an example of a clip there will slow down to make it more smooth and more effortless. Now slow down videos and the VRF slow motion can be applied in many, many categories of videos, but I would probably not use slow motion in fast-paced sequences or action sequences that you don't want to slow down the base of the film, but slow motion is perfect in commercials when you want to slow down and draw the viewer's attention into the product that you're advertising. It is perfect in cinematic or travel edits. Or you want the viewer to just take a step back and enjoy the amazing scenery that the main subject is in. Slow motion is also perfect for those epic moments that you see in videos. Now, even if your camera is not capable of shooting slow motion, which means that it is not capable of shooting 60 frames per seconds. So if we slow it down to 30 frames per second, it is slowed down by 50 percent. Most editing programs have building both slow motion, so they take a clip that is not shot in 60 frames per second is usually solid in 24 frames per second. And with building artificial intelligence, they fill up the gaps, would normally foot so a optical flow and make your video look smoother. Now the most important value that you should follow in Colorado, seven-halves. And I'm going to tell you to make your videos look more professional, is to not overdo it, right? Do not override it. Do not have slow motion in every single clip and having your red because this one cell, the professional effect that we're trying to achieve here, the absolute best way to sell the slow motion effect and incorporate in your videos in a way that the viewer will find it extremely great and professional is to combine slow motion with music. If you combine slow motion with music, the viewer would get that feeling that without pointing something and without the viewer telling you, yes, this is what made the video better. He has a overall way better feeling we're watching the video, they can't describe it exactly, but it makes the video look way better. So combine the slow motion with the music, great, edit to the music and add slow motion, and this will make your videos look way, way better. Here's an example of a slow-motion needed that was applied and edited with the song of the Edit Mesh. Now this will sound pretty random, but another great way to sell the slow motion effect is to combine it with fast motion. So to transition the base of a glib from fast to slow, this cells better, the slow motion effect and it's actually a thing in filmmaking. It is called speed ramping. In the next video, we're going to talk about speed ramping and how to use it, how to incorporate in your edits, and the difference that speed ramping can do in your edits. Thank you very much for sticking to the end of this lesson. I hope I helped you to understand the importance and the value of slow motion and join me in the next lesson when we talk about speed ramping, which is a perfect way to sell the slow motion effect even better.
3. Speed Ramping: Hello everyone and welcome to the second installment of the scores, where I teach you how to make your videos to look professional in seven simple steps, in seven simple lessons in about 30 minutes. So let's die in the second lesson. As a document for this is going to be about speed ramping. Now you might ask me, what is speed ramping? Oh my god, he started with those video editing terms. Does exactly what I didn't want to hear. Do not stress. This is the only foreign word that we're going to learn in this course. It is speed ramping. Now as the name suggests, speed Graphic is sudden change of the speed of a clip from fast to slow. That's pretty random. Alright, I hear you thinking that's pretty random. How is this more cinematic? Well, it sells the slow motion effect better, right? When something is fast base, right? And then suddenly it becomes slowed down, it just sells the slow motion effect better. So that's exactly what we're analyzing and we're going to learn in this lesson. Now the two phase that's big ramping, alright, is perfect by itself and you can use it in any part of the video that you want. But actually speed ramping is perfect for fast paced non-disease fast-paced edits. Let me give you an example of a client may send me a basket and they wanted me to make a video for them. And that's exactly what I came up with. Let me show you the parts that I have. A speed round. Alright. You saw were speed rounds that are implicated in my edit again, all of those lessons that I'm teaching you are nothing if they're alone, right? You have to combine everything that you learn. You have to combine slow motion speed, wrapping, color, grading, sound design, sound, the music I, everything combined reduces this amazing professional video effect that we're trying to sell here. This was speed grammar, right? All speed ramping does, is that it sells to the viewer the slow motion effect by fast basing the video before the slow motion part, right? You have a fast-paced move and then it becomes slow down. So the cell, the slow-motion effect better. Now I hope you understood what speed ramping is. Alright, I hope I delivered the knowledge in a way, it's a difficult context to grasp all but remember, practice makes perfect, right? You want to speed RMB, a lot of videos. You want to practice on this technique before he implicated in your timeline. So import any video of yours in the timeline and try to speed drum. Tried to learn this technique is not easy, but it can definitely improve your videos. Now, speed ramping can use, can be used in comparison with slow motion. So you speed ramp in this same clip from fast base to slow base that's been dropping can actually be used to transition from one clip to another, right? You speed up those clips, you combine them together, and you transition from one group to another. These are called speed ramp transitions are very common and very smooth way to transition for one clip to another. So let me give you some example of speed ramped transition. The transitions are made by implicating the speed ramp effect, right? When the video transitions from one clip to another. So this is a CD-ROM transition. Now transitions is a whole different chapter of the scores. And as we have noticed that there are many, many ways to transition from one clip to another. So this is exactly what we're analyzing in the next lesson. In the next lesson we're gonna learn everything about transitions, so much for sticking around until the end of this video where we analyzed speed ramping. And join me in the next video where we're going to talk about transitions, about transitions in video editing. And you read much, they save.
4. Transitions: Thank you very much for joining me in this third lesson and sticking around. Until this point. Now we talked about slow-motion and we're talking about speed ramping. And we really realized how many ways there are to transition from one clip to another. So that's exactly what we're going to talk about in this lesson. Transitions, right? So what is transition? Transition? As the name suggests, again, it is the way that you move from one clip to another and you can get really creative with transitions. Actually, transitions is a really easy way to show that your work is professional. So this exactly what we're going to work on in this lesson. That's just starting. Now to get started with, let's analyze the three most common transitions. The three most common ways to move from one clip to another. Well, the first one is the standard cut, right? The standard gut involves no edit in-between those two videos that we're transitioning. So we have one video, we have another video sticking together and timeline, and we just transitioned with them. Nothing special, nothing crazy, nothing fancy. But do not underestimate the power of the standard cut. A standard cut can have many implications in a video edit, right? And again, remember, do not over edit, do not use a fancy transition in every single clip that we transitioned to write, we want to use standard cards in our edits. They might basic and they might look simple, but simplicity is key sometime so. Now the second type of transitions, which again involves a standard gut, but it's actually more sophisticated. Is the jump cut not been a jump cut? Again, we actually transition using a standard cut. We're not having any edits or any effects during this transition, but we transition into a clip takes place in the same environment as the previous one. So that's an example of a jump gap. As you can see, we have standard cards, right? Standard transitions, but we have a subject in the same room doing a different stuff. This is called a jump gut is used to speed up the video, right? You don't want to solo someone walking or someone searching for something. This is where you use a jump gut. It's used mainly to make your video more fast pace. So this is the jump cut. A jump cut is a standard god that is used when a transition is implicated in the same environment. Now finally, the third most basic transition that you can use is the Jacob. So the Jacob involves a V transition from one clip to another with the use of the audio. So before transitioning the video part of the video of visual part of the video, you hear the audio of the next clip, jacob, right? It is very, very commonly used in the filmmaking world, and it is one of the three most common transitions you can use. Now, there are many ways to edit your way through a transition. There are many ways to edit. A transition, and this can really get complicated. So I'm going to analyze only one transition that requires editing. And this is the cross dissolve transition. Right? Now, cross dissolve is actually in transition that it's building in most academic programs, I know it is building impermeable and Final Cut Pro. And you literally just drag and drop this effect onto the clips that you want to transition to. Now, what is the cross dissolve? The cross dissolve. Here is an example of it, is when a clip actually blacks out, the opacity of the clip decreases gradually and then the eclipse blacks out. And then as the screen is black, the capacity increases again. And this is the point of transition between two clips. So this is a cross dissolve. Now, there are many ways to implicate a cross dissolve into your timeline, into your story. And there are many different uses of a cross dissolve, for example, where you're talking, when you're talking into a camera and you want to open a new paragraph, starting new segment, you can cross dissolve and smooth out the transition between the docking part and the story telling part with the new paragraph and you want to open right? Cross dissolve is usually used in storytelling. Now, the second transition type that I'm gonna talk about that requires edit, right? The small editing part. Our glitz transitions now glitters. Isms are not for everyone, right? Obviously you can't use it in every project, but it's actually really cool and really, really easy to produce them. Another two pathways that you can follow with glitz transitions, you can either download already made, right? Grids transitions from someone. You need to pay for them or download them for free. I'm going to show you a way to download them for free. Or you can go ahead and make a glass transition yourself, right? As a beginner at this point of time, I would suggest you to download a glitz transition as a preset, right? All you gotta do is drag and drop into your timeline and you have a ready professional looking right? Glitz transition. And now again, because citizens are not for everyone, you can't implicated in any project. But, alright, if you have a project that can handle a glitz transition, then I would totally recommend it. Now I promised you that I am going to show you a way to download for free glitz transitions on line. And this is actually from the selfie store, right? The selfie store De Zai, online marketplace for transitions. And many YouTubers actually sell their presets and their transitions there, there are some that you can pay for, but usually there are some that there absolutely free. So this is how it looks like and there are many YouTubers that actually sell their transitions there. So have a look, see what you like, see what you don't like, and work from there. Another many web applications that you can buy, different transitions, right? There are literally countless of sites that sell transitions. But again, remember the golden rule that I'm going to repeat in every single lesson because it is everything when it comes to video editing. Do not over edit the not transition with a fancy way in every single clip, right? You do not need this. This is what is going to kill the vibe of the video. Use two or three glyphs, transitions breaded do not over editing. This is very important. So these were the basic transition types that I want to teach you. Or I could talk about the three most common transition types, right? We talk about cross dissolve with about glitch transitions, where to find resets, download more transitions. So I hope that you have a really basic idea of what a transition is and how you can implicate it in your timeline. So these 3 first lessons that we just completed with include tips and tricks to improve the visual part of your edit. Now, this concluded the visual chapter of upgrading your editing game. And now we're going to move in the sound design, right? The sound part of an edit, which don't get me wrong, is literally as important as the visual part. So join me in the next lesson, we're going to talk about sound design and how this can make a difference in your edit. Thank you very much for staying with me until the end of this video. I'm going to see you in the next video.
5. Sound Design: Hello everyone, thanks for staying in for this fourth installment of this course. I hope that you learned something from the three previous lessons. So we talked about some basic tips and techniques to improve the visual, the video part of your Edit. And now we're going to open a new paragraph. And this is sound, right? Sound design. Now the sound of the video is something that can be communicated with words. The sound is actually universal values, universal thing that unites it connects the viewer with the video in a really special way. A really good sound design will literally make your video take off when it comes to production value, right? The sound design of video is everything, is the small details. Those small details that will make your video look 1 million times more professional. Here's an example of a video that I made that I believe the sound design actually saved it into two pieces. Now, there are two ways to produce sounds for a video. The first one is of course, to download sounds from the web, right? Depending on what it's showing in the video, you place the corresponding sound on the audio part of the timeline. And the second type of sound designer you can make as actually make your sounds, make the sounds of the video yourself. And I'll, this is way more complicated. I would not suggest it for beginners, but it is totally a thing. People do it in the movies. Some YouTubers do it, some cinematic editors do it. I would not suggest it to go this way, this path, but if you want, you can proceed with it. I usually download sound effects from the internet. Probably shouldn't be letting me know that. But yeah, whatever you know, you can actually download free sound effects from epidemic sound, right? You just sign up, they won't charge, you. Just make a free account. You can download as many sound effects as you want. And they will actually not charged you. And they will also not file a copyright strike for your sound effects because they're usually undetectable. Now sound design is a whole part of filmmaking. Oh, videography that I can teach you of course in five minutes. But of course I can tell you some tips and tricks to make the whole process Phil, way easier and it will help you learn it way faster. You're going to grasp the core theme with this video of sound design. So wherever you are, there's always a white sound playing behind. Now, what is a white sound? A wide sound is the native sound of the environment that you are, right? This is a wide, wide sound of a forests, for example. This is a white sound of the airport, is a wide sound of a cafeteria. Let's say this is a wide sound of Times Square, right? There's always this sound. Everywhere that you go. In every environment in the world there is a sound that plays on the background all the time is called a white cell. Now, when you are sound designing your edit, you should always have this wide sampling and we're going to start building sound effects up on this white sounds. So let's say that we are in an airport, right? Just like this edit right here. We haven't baseline White sound of a airport and we're going to add a sound effect that it corresponds to every part of the video that you think that uses a certain sound. So as you can see in this video right here, I've got the white sound of a airport, and I also imported and edited different sound effects. For example, when the engine of this car turned on or were worthy luggage was pulled up on the aircraft. These small things actually make a huge difference when it comes to your final edit. And sound design is where you can actually become very, very creative. There are no barriers and how many sounds you can add, how many different emotions you can arise in all, in the viewer's sound is really important actually, if, you know, if you can master sound, design, those small things, you know, the viewer watches the video that has great sound. Zion. He's like, I don't know what, what's, what, what's going on with this video, but I love it, you know, it sounds great. It looks great. This is what you want to achieve with your video. Now, I'm gonna repeat this in every single lesson that I do. Do not over edit, right? Do not overdo it sounds right. Do not make them extremely loud. You know, you want to activate the unconscious part of the viewer's brain, right? You don't want them to know that all this in engine that just turned on, you want them to look at the engine and you know, just sound, just hear, hear the engine turning on in a really, really low volume. This is exactly what you want to achieve in perfect sound design. So the Zollner had to say about sound design. I hope that I open this new chapter in your life and your video editing life that is called sound design. And I will wildly encourage you to search more things about sound design, right? Be a master of sound design really. But we've talked about white sound. We talked about a digital sound effects in every visual part of the video that requires a sound effect above this wide sound. And I think that these two are two really important values that can instantly increase your video editing game. Thank you very much and join me in the next lesson where we'll talk about music. Alright, the diets of music were defined music and how to edit your video based on the music that have selected. Thank you very much. See you in the next lesson.
6. Music: Hello everyone. Welcome back. Thank you for joining me in this video. So without any further ado, let's dive right in this video, we're talking about music, Alright, we talked about the visual part of your videos. We talked about sound design and how important can it be to add character to your videos. And now we're talking about music, which is the real heart of your video. If you can master adding your video with great music that matches the tone that you want to deliver, then you can really, really achieve what we're trying to do in this course, right? Making your video look more professional. So let's go now, if you're a complete beginner, alright, in YouTube videos or making videos for clients, Let me explain. There are two types of songs that you can use as music to your videos. There are copyrighted songs and not copyrighted songs. Now, copyrighted songs are songs where the producer owns the legal rights for these songs, right? If you steal them, right, and use them in your video, they might file a copyright strike. What is a copyright strike? A copyright strike is a notice from the creator of the song that actually when he files a copyright strike to your videos, gains all the revenue that you have from this video, right? You will not be charged store, you would not have any legal consequences for this. He will just take all the money that you make from this YouTube video. This is a copyright strike. Now, non-cooperative songs are royalty free, as we call them, right? Everyone can use them, but they're very limited in number. It is really hard to find a non copyrighted song that match the vibe, but you want to deliver in your video. So this is a constant struggle. Videographers have woods and find the best song. We find a great song, but it is copyrighted. We search for non copyrighted songs, but they're not that good. So this is a constant struggle. And in this video, I'm gonna explain to you how to solve this music mystery right? Now, if you ask any video editor from all around the world, what is the biggest problem that they have during their video editing time? They will say, it's music, Alright, as a video editor, it is really, really hard to find great music that is copyright free, right. If you're working for a client, you mostly want to use non copyrighted music. Alright, now we've all been there. You have a great edit. You want to add a great song into it, alright, that matches the vibe the uterine deliver. So you go to YouTube, you find a great song. And just to realize that it is copyrighted and you can use it. Now, music on your videos wildly depends on the client that you have, right? If you're working on a YouTube video, if you want to upload a video on your YouTube channel and you try and find the best song that matches this video. It's okay to use copyrighted music. Just you won't be able to make any revenue from it. But still it is okay to produce a video with copyrighted music and uploaded in your video channel. No one is going to haunt you legally for this. It is fine. Now, if you're working for a client or a company, you can also use copyrighted music. All right, you should ask them, of course, What type of music do they want? You want copyrighted songs, you want songs that are not copyrighted. But usually, if they want to blow them in their YouTube channel, they're not looking to make revenue from your video. They're looking to advertise from your video. So many times, if you ask the client, he usually says that it is fine to use copyrighted music. This is exactly what I did with my previous client, right? It was a company that produces some kind of cleaning materials for bikes. So I emailed them and I was like, hey, I have this great song, but it is copyrighted, Is it? Okay if I use it in my fine Larry, they say, Yeah, sure, go ahead. We have no problem with it. So you should always ask the client before making your mind into which music, which song you're going to use in your edit. Now, The first tip that I have when it comes to music in your video is to first choose the song of your edit and then proceed with structuring the video part of the edit. What I'm trying to say here is that you should edit to the music. You should not add music to your edit. You should edit based on the music track that you have. One tip that I have in my edits is that first, I look at the music, I find a song that I really like that actually matches the vibe that undelivered in my Edit. And I immediately download the song into my mobile phone or Spotify or I just downloaded from YouTube. Now, when I go for a walk outside or when I'm trying to brainstorm on how I'm going to structure my edit. I always listened to this song, right? I listen to the song. And I think of all of the previous lessons that we talked about in this course. I'm thinking about potential sound design spots. I'm thinking of transitions. I'm thinking of gold rating that we're going to talk about in the next video. All of that I am thinking as I am hearing the song, then I'm going to use in my head. Now, the ultimate thing that you can do is actually listen and have chosen the audio track, the music of your video before even shooting the video itself. Now, if you have, if you have the music in your mind before him and shooting the video, you can adjust your shooting style and your shots based on the song that you have. This is the ultimate thing that you wanted to. It is really hard because usually we already have the glimpse, you already have shot the clips and then we proceed into adding the music. But if you have a great song in mind and you're like, well, I would love to make an edit on this song. Then this is the best thing that can happen to your video editing. Now, when it comes to clients, Alright, let's say that a client e-mails you and says, hey, I'm going to send you this product and I want you to make a small commercial of this product. And now you might ask yourself, well, what, what type of music should I use for this, right? I'm, no, I haven't done this before. This sounds really weird, right? What music that I used for this site did not know. This guy's just send me the most random product with music that I used for this. Alright, let me help you with that. I always say, when it comes to these questions, you should stand on the shoulders of giants, right? What do you mean by this? You do not have to be a, an entrepreneur or a genius, right? Many people have been in your place before. So Stan. Soldiers of giants. Alright, let's see what bigger companies and bigger YouTubers do when someone proposes them to make a commercial of their product. So why did the first time that someone proposed me to make a video of their product is that I went to my favorite YouTubers, right? I went to the people that don't meet this things I saw, hey, What type of music did they use for this? Now, Let's take, for example, Daniel shift, right? He is a great YouTube RED. He is a great filmmaker that makes homemade commercials for videos. Now, when this company send me a desk and I had no idea of the music that I'm going to use. So I said, alright, wait, let's see what Daniel did in this occasion or a danielle gets sent pretty random products, some coffee beans, Monster energy drinks, products that have not that much of a character built into them. So I was like, all right, let's see what Daniel did. So I'm wondering his videos and I saw his amazing music that he added into his videos. Now, I do not want to copy directly what diagnose you for good. So what I did is I Suzanne the song that he used. Racism is a obligation that actually recognizes the title of the music, just ME hearing it. So Isozaki and the song, and I searched for the artist of this song, I saw many, many other auditor axes that this artist has produced, and I chose one of them for my edit, is literally that simple, right stamped in the shoulder, in the shoulders of giants. This is my tip for editing music into your commercials. Now, I'm literally going to say this into every single lesson that I give you in this course. But you did not want to, over a, you do not want to add a song in your edit that people are going to be like, Hey, that's a great song. Oh, by the way, this is a great video that plays behind the song. No. You want people to be like, wow, this is a great video. By the way, the song that plays in the back of this video is also amazing. And this one you want to achieve or egg did not use music that is very obscured and just destroys the viewers years. You want to have something that complements the video. Now the final tip that I can give you when it comes to the music of your edit is to combine it with your sound effects and r. What I'm trying to tell you here, let me give an example and I will clear your head with this. Now, if you listen closely to the previous edit, I matched the sound design and the transitions with the audio of the video, with the music of the video. So everytime I transitioned to a glib, It was in a EQ spot of the music of the audio jack that I was using. And I also added a small sound effect there. For example, AdaBoost transition. What you really want to achieve in your video editor is a perfect choreography between your music, your sound design, and your visual part of the video. This is your ultimate goal. Write a well-balanced choreography of those three, the music, the sound design, and the visual part of your video. Now I hope that I helped you with this brief introduction into the music part of your video. Now, just like every other lesson of this course, I will encourage you to make your own search, alright, and listen to audio tracks. Listen to other people. Talk about the importance of music in your edits because trust me, is of key importance, alright, if you choose the correct audio track and you edit or add humbly the visual part of your video in this audio track, then your edits will become way, way better. So trust me on this, search it a bit more about music in your videos and you will not be disappointed. Thank you very much for sticking up till the end of this lesson and join me in the next lesson when we will talk about color grading. Color grading is the character, is the personality of your video edit. It is going to be our final lesson. So I hope to see you in the next video.
7. Color Grading: Hello everyone and welcome to the final lesson of this course. Thank you very much for making it up until the end of this series of videos. I am truly honored by the fact that you stick around until the end of the scores. Remember, the two most important values that you must have when learning something new is showing up for these courses and playing full outs or watching them from the start to the finish. So thank you very much for playing full-out. Can let's dive right into our final subject, which is color grading. Now, before I analyze what color meaning is and how you can implicated in your video edit. And I will have to make a huge point here with a huge, huge explanation point, which is you really, if you're going to override it, do not use color grading, right? You have to be very, very gentle with color grading. If you overhead color grading, all of the other lessons that will lead will become ruined. Here's an example of a video of mine that I did in 2017 where I overdid it with color grading and well, okay. I didn't know how these things that I'm teaching right now. But look at how color grading just ruin the whole thing. Now, I want you to be scared of color grading, alright? If you're doing everything that we learned, everything that you're obligated in your clips, music, sound design, transitions, everything will be completely ruined. So please be scared of color grading. Now, let's dive into this. Now. What called raining really is, is that we're going to change the color of our clips during timeline, during our edit. Now, the color of our clips, right, shouldn't obviously be the same throughout the whole course of the Edit. The color of our glimpse believed or not, should match the vibe that we're trying to deliver with every scene of a Reddit. And it should also match the tone of the music or the part of the music. The perfect way to show you the willpower of color grading is to again, stand in the shoulders of giants. So let me give you an example of some of the best color grading that the filmmaking world has ever seen in some of the most common and most popular movies. Now, here's an example of a coal Don Wright, the Director of the scene, and wanted to deliver a golden. They wanted the viewers to become scared of what they see. They wanted to feel uncomfortable, right? So this is what they achieved with the color grading. What's so funny. Now let's have a look at name different scene where the director, one of the viewers to be more warm, right? Be more harmful to empathize with the subjects of the scene. Now I like to think that color grading is the emotion trying to deliver to the viewer with our edit, right? Colder colors, right? When we call a grade our video into the colder spectrum of the temperature bar, then we want to deliver a colder feel, right? We want the viewers to be more uncomfortable, more vulnerable to what they're seeing, right? Whereas when we slide the temperature bar into the warmer side of the temperature bar, then we want the viewers to be more warm about what they see. We want the viewers to be more empathized with the subjects. So this is what we can achieve with color grading. Now there are many things that we can tweak when color grading, right? We can change. These are known as the contrast, the highlights and shadows. You can change pretty much everything. But as a beginner, I would probably not encourage you to mess with the other sliders for now. I would only encourage you to mess with the temperature bar and just a little bit. Now, the intensity of your color grading really depends on the dynamic range that your camera is capable of delivering. And this is why some cameras are more expensive than others. In order to understand this in a better way, i will give you an example of a camera that has bad dynamic range and a camera that has a great dynamic range. Now, the most common cameras that have v worst dynamic range that you can ever imagine are these guys right here, gold rose, Right? Go rows are worldwide famous for their useless dynamic range. What do I mean by that? Check this out. In a sunny day where we have shadows and highlights that are really intense. The Goebbels dynamic range chooses which one to correctly exposed. Alright. Now the GOP rows will either exposed perfectly the shadows or the highlights. Gopro chooses to expose these shadows, then the highlights will be just white, right? Everything is going to be white, exempt from the shadows. If a GoPro chooses to expose directly the highlights, then the shadows will be completely black. And this is an example of a bad dynamic range. And if you have salt added with a camera that has a really bad dynamic range, you really, really, really want to take it easy with color grading, right? You will probably ruin the footage if you slide any other bar than the temperature bar, if you're sitting with a camera that has bad dynamic range. Now, a example of grade camera has great dynamic range is of course, all the cinema cameras, right? Or the top line cameras of each company, Canon, Nick on Sony. Alright, the most expensive cameras that be produced usually have the best dynamic range. And even in those cameras that have a better dynamic range, I would not encourage you to slide any other bar rather than the temperature bar. Now to conclude, I have two tips for you when it comes to color grading. The first tip is do not mess with any other bar rather than the temperature bar when you're collaborating. Alright, this is going to give you the best results at the moment, when you become more expert and you progress, you evolve in the part of color grading of your videos. Then mike, proceed very carefully to slide the other bars of contracts highlights, shadows. But again, but again, you must fear color grading when you're a beginner. And the second tip that I can give you is that you must imagine that color grading is the feelings of the viewer and you must adjust the feelings based on the music that is playing behind them and the video that you're watching, if you match the feelings with the music and the video, trust me, this is the ultimate key. To make your videos 1 million times better. Alright, you must match the feelings of the viewer with the music that's playing and the thing that they're watching. This is the ultimate recipe for a Perfect video. These were the two major dates that I have to give you when it comes to color grading, alright, you must fill color grading and match it with the video and the music part of your edit. Thank you very much for sticking up until the end of this course. Again, I am very honored by the fact that I was able to teach you two or three things about video editing. And if you want to know more about Cameras, about lenses, you might want to check out my other course where I analyze everything you need to know about the lenses that are locked in the front of your camera, right? We analyze anything you need to know as a beginner about lenses. So thank you very much for sticking up until the end of this course. And I'll see you in the next one.
