This video is about lighting and a haze machine. If youre looking up how to light your YouTube videos, this is how I do mine. I use a key light pretty far off to one side for a Rembrandt look, a rim light directly behind me shot through haze, and a bunch of smart bulbs in the background for practicals.

Can you use an Apple MacBook Air M4 as your main editing rig for YouTube channels? I will say the answer to that, for my channel, is a surprising yes! Because of the crazy media engines in this thing, the actual footage no longer requires any hit to the CPU/GPU. So the only thing the MacBook Air has to work on doing are titles, effects, transitions and key outs.

What is the best microphone to use for YouTube? In this video I will try to help answer that, wether you've got a talking head channel, a cooking channel, a workout channel or you take apart computers on your desk; knowing which TYPE of microphone and how to use it will be more important than how much money you spend on it.

Final Cut Pro 11 is out, and with it some incredible new machine learning features. In this video, Im going to talk about the Magnetic Mask and how it works when using an M1 Mac mini vs M1 Max vs M4 Mac mini vs M4 Max computer. And how much of a speed boost you can expect out of the newer apple silicon. I stress tested the Magnetic mask tool with a very busy background and it works MAGICALLY well. This tool is useful for putting titles behind your subject, adding effect layers to specific portions of a screen, or for isolating one thing to color correct or fix exposure on a person, or for cutting someone out completely, almost like doing green screen without a green screen!

Im testing out whether the base model M4 Mac mini is fast enough for video editing. In this video, I put the new Mac mini up against my M1 MAX MacBook Pro to see if you can get away with only buying the base model Mac mini to do video editing. I tested them using Final Cut Pro with a four camera Multicam clip, all shot in 4k, all rendering in real time with no proxies or pre-render, and this little thing did not disappoint! Maybe even more surprising is how well the almost 4 year old M1 Max can hang - beating the M4 in export speed, file transfer speed and GPU tests using different benchmarks. But even though the M1 Max has triple the GPU cores, and double the performance CPU cores, the experience on these two computers FEELS almost identical.

I watched a ton of reviews about this drone and I didn't see anyone talk about transfer speed. Or the fact that you can charge a battery thats IN the drone, through USBC. Or that the fly more combo battery charger works in both directions like a battery bank.. Then I also made it follow me into the woods for active tracking. Buy this drone, it's worth the upgrade.

Is the ZV-E10 II any good for Photography? Yes, yes it is. Although it does not have a mechanical shutter, it does not suffer seriously from rolling shutter. Especially with things like studio photography or head shots and portraits, this camera can take professional quality photos.

Is the ZVE10 II better than the ZVE10 for making social media and YouTube videos? This is a video test of footage shot through the Sony ZV-E10 vs the Sony ZV-E10 2.

This is a direct comparison between the Sony ZVE10 and the Sony ZVE10ii. I do think the mkii of this camera is an improvement, definitely, but in this video Im trying to determine if it's enough of an improvement to spend several hundred extra dollars on the new one. The answer to this will of course be different for different people. Here are my findings. To buy the NEW ZVE10ii: https://amzn.to/3YEnQ97 To buy the ZVE10: https://amzn.to/3YrGD62 The ZVE10 II is better for birding. It transfers files faster through USBC. It recognizes when you turn the camera vertical and changes the menu placement. It Shoots in 4k 60fps. It can take advantage of the HAVC-HS H.265 Video format to save card space.

It can charge at 65 watts PD power, so it can even charge your laptop a full charge with its capacity. But also, it will charge your phone and iPad as fast as they will accept power, just as fast as a full sized wall outlet.

The Viltrox 56mm 1.7 is a budget, cheap, portrait lens for Sony APSC Cameras like the zve10, holy crap this one is it.

It can also do a bunch of effects like TV, bad bulb, strobe, welding, explosions and a bunch of other ones. It's got a 1/4 20 mounting hole on the bottom and comes with a clip and a cold shoe mount. There is also a diffuser in the box. This light charges with USBC and its internal battery can run for about 35 minutes on full power - much much longer if it's less bright.

This is the picture you get through the new ZV-E10 II Sony camera using the 30mm f/1.4 Sigma and 50mm 1.4 Sigma lenses. It's surprisingly sharp and very nice looking.

The CB100C works like a regular key light, between 3000 and 6000k color temperature but then also full RGB colors also! The stick lights are magnetic and have a Touch Bar on the side to choose the colors - they also work on the same app - and both types of lights work together. They ALSO work on a 2.5ghz connection without the app where whatever you do to one light happens on all of them.

Is the M1 Max MacBook Pro still a good computer for video editing, or do you need an M2 or an M3 to work with 4k video files?

Same shape, same size, same bi-colored 100 watt LED light, and the same large, quiet fan built in to the front - just less bells and whistles, but importantly the same quality of actual LIGHT and battery life, you just cant use it with an app, and there’s no little screen, and the knobs are plastic instead of metal and the battery is not detachable - where with the Molus X100 you can take the battery off and use it to power other things if you want to. It’s also like a hundred dollars cheaper depending on where you get it! So those differences aside - this light is JUST as bright, the CRI (Color Rendering Index) is just as high, which means the things you light up with this thing will have accurate color representation (probably not important for YouTube) and it can run at full power on its built in battery for 30 minutes.

The bottom works as a tripod mount, it's got an extra cold shoe slot and accepts 1/4" threaded attachments from any other brand. It connects to the camera in two places to make sure it's extra secure. Also, this camera cage has a rubber grip on the right side where your hand wraps around the camera, the ZV-E10 is notoriously thin and small and kind of weird to grip, but this cage makes it far more ergonomic.

If you’re making Videos with a Sony ZV-E10 for YouTube or any social media, you gain nothing by shooting 100mbps instead of 60mbps. Save your SD card space and shoot at the lower bitrate.

Sony ZV-E10 - If you don't know whether you should be shooting in HAVC-S or HAVC-HS on your Sony Alpha or ZV-E10 Mirrorless camera, I have attempted to clear that up in this video. HAVCS is the H.264 Codec. It's pretty old now, but very compatible with most computers. HAVCHS is the newer H.265 Codec. Totally compatible with newer M1, M2 or M3 Mac Computers, but may very well give any other computer a tough time during video editing, unless you're using proxy files. ALSO, in the recording settings, for YouTube videos, you will see VERY LITTLE difference in the final product quality when choosing between 30M 50M (60M on ZV-E10) and 100M as far as the bitrate to shoot in. But the difference in card space is MASSIVE, so you should be shooting int he lowest one, if the videos you're making are only going to be put up on YouTube. Because YouTube will be compressing your videos down to that lowest bitrate before showing it to people anyway, so shooting in lossless video formats will not serve to create a higher resolution final product. 0:00 Intro 0:36 File Format HAVC-HS Sony a7siii a7iv 0:53 File Format ZV-E10 0:58 M1 Mac Computer can edit HAVC-HS Files Easily 1:57 Record Settings Sony Cameras 30M 50M 60M 100M 2:46 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0 and 10bit vs 8bit 3:52 Footage of ZV-E10 at 60M vs 100M 4:51 Footage of a7IV a7SIII at 30M 50M 100M 5:23 Card Space Used at Different Settings Sony Cameras

Different camera lenses do more than zoom, they will literally change the shape of your subjects face. A wide angle lens will cause the center of your subjects face to bulge out; it will tuck back their ears and pull back their hair. While a telephoto lens will flatten a face, it will show you more of their ears and it will add volume to their hair. It will also pull the background seemingly closer to your subject even though they haven't moved at all! Cameras and photography are all about telling little lies about the environment you were in when you caught the moment.

Showing the difference of the background of a shot depending on the lens you use to shoot it.

Which lens should you be using when shooting YouTube videos. Why would you choose one lens over another? This video talks about what changes when you change lenses and how to use those effects to build a background in your photos and videos more intentionally. Wide angle lenses will make your subjects face more round, which can actually make some people look better and some people look a lot worse. While telephoto lenses will not only flatten out their face, but also pull the background towards you, in effect.

Im doing production at an art fair in South Beach for Art Basil Week, were at a show called Untitled Art Fair. We got word that Will Smith would be coming by and luckily I had a 150-600mm sigma lens in my bag, so I put the Ninja V on top of my camera to record what the camera sees, and employed a spotter so I could stay really far away and zoom way in. It was a fun little assignment. #willsmith #artbasil #untitledartfair

They work quite well in windy situations. One of the downsides Ive found with this thing is that you can not connect a wires lav mic to them to hide things away, they only work as a clip on mic. But for that, they work exceptionally well.

iPhone 15 Pro Cinema Mode is a LITTLE better than before, but is it good enough to go up against a mirrorless camera? This video compares iPhone 15 Pro to a Pro Camera, the Sony a7siii. I go through several examples comparing the shadow depth of field of a mirrorless camera to the new iPhone 15 in cinema mode. Of course the iPhone is just faking it, but it does a pretty convincing job now! It does well enough that I would argue talking head youtube channels could get away with just using this phone, as long as you've got good enough lighting conditions. Unfortunately, iPhone 15 Pro doesnt let you use the 3x lens in cinema mode, and thats kind of a bummer. Even using the 2x from the main lens causes the effect to start to fall apart, especially when compared directly to a sony camera. But in general - I think it's ready!

I got to help out on a short film shoot for the first time, and I learned a lot of new things. I am a race car photographer, so I know my way around a camera, but I didnt have any experience on a set. I didnt know the language, I didnt know the processes, and I didnt realize how basically the whole job is just problem solving. I LOVE PROBLEM SOLVING! This video is about my experience as a camera man and producer for an independent film project.

This video is about green screens. How to light it, what camera settings to use, getting you to think a little more closely about planning your lighting to match whats going to be behind you, and how to set that all up in Final Cut Pro. Im shooting with a Sony a7siii, but all of these steps will be the same with any digital camera - even a cheap one!

Sony recently came out with a new vlogging camera, the ZV-E1. Previously, one of the best youtube cameras for the money was the ZV-E10. Is this new camera better enough to make up for the fact that it's $1500 more expensive? Or are the enhancements just not worth it? Links to things..

Sonys newest Vlogging Camera, the ZV-E1 has a new AI chip that helps make auto tracking for focus just incredible! When it loses your eyes, it uses your face. If it cant find a face, it looks for a human body. It doesnt matter if youre turned around or running around, it will keep focus.

This is Sony's newest vlogging camera, the ZV-E1, and it may unseat the a7siii as the best YouTube camera you can get, once the June firmware update comes along and unlocks 4k120p. With auto tracking, auto framing, new Dynamic Active Steadyshot, a smart microphone and a new Creators App, this camera moves Sony's offerings to the next level of cameras. This camera has a new AI chip that allows it to track not just faces and eyes, but bodies facing in any direction; trains, planes, insects, birds and animals, and the lock it gets on tracking is as sticky as anything Ive ever seen. It does have a but of an overheating issue if you shoot for a long time at once, in a warm room, without a fan. This is due to the body being made out of Sorplas, Sony's own plastic. But move a little air onto the body of the camera and that solves the issue.

This video is about race car photography. I was at Daytona International Motor Speedway taking pictures with my Sony a7iv, outfitted with a Sigma 150-600mm down the straightaway after the international horseshoe. This was recorded using an Atmos Ninja V and then edited in Lightroom.

Will a stabilized lens on a Sony ZV-E10 be as good as a Stabilized body from the a7iv? This Video is about photography and camera lenses. Both stabilized Lenses and Stabilized Camera bodies. In this video I compare using IBIS with an unstabilized lens to a camera body with no IBIS but with stabilization built into the lens. The 50mm as well as a 70-200mm and even a 150-600mm! Surprisingly the difference between IBIS and lens stabilization isnt as much as I would have thought. You can save a lot of money if you only need a few lenses by just paying for the stabilized version of them.

Sony has a new Full Frame camera out, called the ZV-E1. This is a Review of the Sony ZV-E1. I talk about the new stabilization, autofocus, and subject detection functions, and compare it to the a7siii and FX3. I took everything I learned from watching all of the reviews that came out and tried to condense all of the necessary information about this camera into a short five minute video. This new camera is BASICALLY a Sony A7siii with no viewfinder in a smaller body. This sony camera has AI features - product showcase, auto tracking with tracking cropping. It has 4k 120 FPS, an improved microphone, it can be plugged in with USB to be used as a webcam.

Street performance caught

These were taken during a ChampCar Endurance event at Sebring International. I was with a BMW Team named Gorilla Sticker. Shooting with an a7IV here, through a 70-200mm G Master 2.8 Sony lens - captured with the Ninja V which really makes holding and using the camera awkward!

This video is about how to record your cameras screen in high resolution. How to set up the Atmos Ninja V to record through your lens and capture what your camera sees. So you can show all of the settings, the shutter speed, ISO, Aperture - when youre taking street photography but want to show the process. In this video I go over how to record what your Sony Camera sees WITH AUDIO while in Photo Mode.

How to clean a mirrorless camera sensor. You could also puff some air (not from your mouth) into the camera body before this step with the cleaner soaked wand thing.

You dont need to take your camera to a professional to have the dust cleaned off of its sensor. It's actually surprisingly quick and easy to do at home. You simply need an air poofer blaster and a sensor cleaning kit - first, go to your settings menu and choose sensor cleaning, that will perform a dust shake off and then lock the IBIS on your Sony Camera, then you flip your camera upside down, poof some air into the sensor body - flip it back, set it on a table, wet the cleaning end of your sensor cleaner with the special liquid that is included, and in one motion pull it from one side of the sensor to the other. Keeping your camera sensor clean will keep your photos sharper! instagram: @nicholas_james_johnson

APSC Sensor Cameras DO NOT produce less bokeh than Full Frame Cameras. They just crop out part of the picture, which causes you to back up and THAT causes less bokeh. The picture from a ZVE10 and an A7IV will produce the same background blur when using the same lens.

The ZVE10 is not normally not a good low light photography camera for shooting stills simply because it has no stabilization at all, but paired with this DJI RS3 Mini gimbal, which is super light - now you can use a 2 second timer and use REALLY LOW shutter speeds in the dark and still get extremely crisp photos! This is shot at 1/10th shutter speed!! NO TRIPOD

If your final cut pro library is taking up hard drive space, filling up your hard drive, AND if you're using an M1 or M2 mac, I can fix it! Video Editing Tips. First go up to file, then Delete Generated clip files, check all the boxes, this WILL NOT affect your project at all. That gets rid of bloated temp files, THEN go up to Final Cut Pro menu, go to settings, choose playback and deselect background render. Your M1 or better processor can actually handle rendering everything in real time - when that box is checked, the computer is basically rendering a finished version of your project every time you change any little thing so that it will playback smoother on older macs. But for some reason it keeps those files and fills up your hard drive!

Sony ZVE10 vs a7Siii what is the better camera for youtube? Well, ultimately that depends on your budget, with an unlimited budget, definitely get the very best camera you can! For shots like this - you really dont need a top of the line full frame monster. In fact - a majority of people watching your content wont be able to tell the difference between the two. ZVE10 vs a7siii - there are A TON of circumstances where the a7siii is way way better. this just isnt one of them.

What camera and lens does Casey Neistat use to make videos? What settings does he use to shoot outside? Im starting a series of videos explaining how your favorite creators achieve the shots they use on youtube. Casey Neistat shoots using between a 10mm - 24mm lens on a full frame camera. He switches up his camera angle and focal length constantly so that a single shot never goes stale, but he stays really wide. When hes outside, hes using auto ISO - and you can tell because when he moves from the dark to the light, the camera automatically adjusts, but his motion blur stays the same, and the plane of focus doesnt change either. Those would be controlled by shutter speed and aperture.

The DJI RS3 Mini Gimbal turns the Sony ZV-E10 Camera into a LowLight shooting contender. If youre shooting night photography with a camera that has no stabilization, this will fix your problems! If you've ever tried to shoot anything at night with your Sony ZVE10 you have probably found frustration.

New DJI Ronin Gimbals are out. RavenEye does not work with RS3 Mini but it does with RS3. MOST LIKELY if youre going to get one You'll be choosing between the RS3 Mini and the RS3. The main differences for my uses are that the RS3 Mini can not use the RavenEye transmitter and I love that thing. Also, if you have heavy lenses, the mini will work, but when you tilt really far, or if you try to extend the lens on the fly, you'll need to rebalance for it to be reliable. Otherwise, and especially if you have a small camera, this Mini gimbal is SUPER good at stabilization. It's really light, it's really small, and it's perfect for traveling. You can easily shove it in a bag so if you do bring it somewhere like a theme park, you dont have to hold it out the whole time youre there.
