@@notionbonsai that's really nice of you!! Thank you for the comment to!

Thank you so much for the nice comment and the watch.

Love you too man. That was an excellent way to start my day. Thank you so much for the positivity.

My wife and I like to walk through the grocery store saying "peas and carrots" over and over - making people think we need that food while we add to the background noise of the world.

Check the gate!!!

@@NightOwlsMedia Lol

Hope it helps!

That's awesome! I'm so happy that it was able to help! Thank you for the comment and the watch

@@kindoflucky it would depend on your target market and your value that you're making / releasing. There is no 100% correct answer, it depends on multiple things. If you're trying to build a portfolio, then starting to flood the back end isn't a bad idea. If you're targeting your audience with value add content, then posting daily and building is strong. But it also depends on your market and how they view and value the content. For this specific brand that is what we thought would work the best for them after looking over all their parameters and branding. It was meant to fill out their portfolio back end.

@NightOwlsMedia thank you for your quick and thorough response. I used to photograph things as a hobby. My excitement came from actual photographers pages with camera equipment liking my phone camera work. Then, the one time a social media team behind the official Instagram page for a company interacted with my page and liked weeks' worth of my photos. Still, I only saw it as a silly hobby. Now, I would like to return to it with more respect and also see it as a way to slowly build passive income. How that will look in the days of so many different social media platforms and real professionals vs my camera phone is anyone's guess. 🤔

@@kindoflucky I feel that! Passion comes first and hopefully should stick around while you make it a job. Our advice is it's 100x better to be a master of one platform than just OK at all of them. Find the platform that (a) your buyer persona is using and (b) you actually like / want to learn to use. And then crush that platform. For example, I'm the CZcams side of our brand and Hilda is the Instagram side. And we combine our efforts to do LinkedIn. Our buyer persona isn't on Tiktok so we don't use that one.

Thank YOU for the comment!

Be sure to read through the notes in the comments that we've talked about. But the most important thing is your workflow, not just the export. I mentioned this in the video. The color space you shoot in should be the same color space you edit in and then export the same color space

@@NightOwlsMedia okay perhaps issue is i'm using iPhone so should be HLG. It is HLG in squence and lumitri settings. But In export, it is Rec 709, but Premiere won't lett me change it. It is stuck as 709. Do you know work around?

@@twistpixel In Export, set your format (if it's living online then h.264 or h.265), click the carrot for Video and under basic video settings click the button "MATCH SOURCE" THis should set your export settings to the proper color space. Then do your export settings as normal. I always suggest for Online video platforms (CZcams, h.264 or h.265 at CBR 100mbs), if it's for in person viewing (on a media player at home or office and not used online: VBR2 50/70), or if its for another professional, archiving or editing purposes (ProRes 4444).

You have to follow the color space from recording to export. So if your sequence is set up HLG be sure you're exporting in HLG as well. In export you have these controls, in my experience NEVER use the Prempro presets, they are just not good. You have to create your own. So set up the export settings with the correct color space. So rec709 shouldn't come into play at all for you. Unless you want to convert to rec709 color but that's a whole other topic.

@@NightOwlsMedia first of thanks for the quick reply. I've just found something out while testing around. The following is mainly for people who might encounter the same issue. Even while setting the Preset section in the Export to "Custom," the color space option is greyed out and uneditable. There is no option to choose "None" as a preset. However, once you choose "Match sequence preview settings" almost at the bottom of the options, everything is editable, and it just exports as it should. Why Adobe chose for it to be this unnecessarily complicated will be a question to which we may never know the answer.

@@TEG13 YUP! That's the starting point to exporting. Sorry, I should have said that. The presets are garbage because they don't do what we need. Always start your export with "match settings" the tweak everything everything. For example of you're posting 4K to CZcams you want it to be CBR 100mbs. If it's for in person viewing (think a TV in a bakery showing baked deserts on video 4K) it could be VBR 40-60. Where the video lives is always the first question we as the editor should ask. Instagram is different from Facebook, is different from CZcams, is different from websites, is different from in person viewing. Would this be a good video I can make? I apologize, I didn't think this would be a good topic as people tend to not watch these kind of videos on my channel.

@@TEG13 additionally - super high fives for figuring out the Match setting!!!!!

@@NightOwlsMedia It's definitely something that should be included in any beginners guide, as it's something most tutorials leave out for the reasons you listed. The thing is I have a bunch of custom export presets I made in the past that perfectly work within my usual workflow, but the record settings that were used are just the antithesis to all I had previously used. Once you're very used to a certain workflow, it's sometimes quite difficult to find the details you're overlooking. Personally, I also think Premiere had the setting a lot better organized in some previous versions. The worst part is that I'll have to combine it with Rec 703 files later on, so I'll probably have to throw it into Handbrake afterward just so it'll work in the full project. In my experience, it's still miles better than Media Encoder when it comes to converting QuickTime .mov-files to .mp3 without much loss in quality.

@@wutang5409 how come ?

Thank you so much for the watch and the comment. I hope this helped

Check the comments. Someone had an iPhone issue today as well. iPhone shoots in HLG / HDR, so you need to ensure that you are editing in the same color space as the iPhone footage. Since you aren't filming in rec 709, you shouldn't be editing or exporting in rec 709. You should be editing an exporting in HLG or HDR. So instead of creating a sequence from the presets inside prem pro, create a sequence from the clip itself. Right click on the clip and select new sequence from clip. This will create a sequence with your footages color space.

@@NightOwlsMedia so I have to star all over again? 🤕

@@tiffanyauza you might be able to just start a new sequence with the proper settings and just copy and.paste all the clips from the first seq and paste into the new seq

@@NightOwlsMedia hey just tried what you told me and it didn't work. thanks

Im super happy that it was helpful, thank you for your kind words!!!

So this sounds like you're not shooting in rec 709. And while I am not 100% sure because I don't have anything Apple because of this kind of thing, I don't think Apple shoots natively rec 709. I think they shoot HLG. So here's my suggestion and let me know if it works. Import your video like normal, right click on the file in the project window, create new sequence from clip, that should set up a sequence with the clips settings. While you're at it, going to your phone and see what your video settings and your color space is. This 100% sounds like a color space issue

@@NightOwlsMedia it looks like you’re right that apple is HDR, I’m not sure why so many videos out there say for iPhone users to turn on rec 709 in adobe, but that def does not work for me. I just tried what u said. I opened a new sequence as normal, then I right clicked on the project and hit “new sequence from clip.” I now just have a duplicate video in here, but look exactly the same color-wise. Super overexposed. I’m able to alter the lumetri colors and get it looking good, but usually when I export all the colors get messed up. However, this time they did not! Maybe it’s bc I did what u said? Could also be because it was only an 8 second clip. I’m going to try this again with a full 15 min clip and lyk the results. Thank you!

@@NightOwlsMedia looks like it worked for the larger video as well! Thank you so much! I wonder why I have to open a new sequence from the same clip 🤔 but hey whatever works!

@@travisegger1316 SUper freaking happy to hear that it worked!! The point of creating a new squence from the clip is because when you create a new sequence, DO NOT USE the templates ones PremPro gives you as is. You should go into the settings to be sure that each sequence is set up EXACTLY how you need it before you start editing. What you were doing is starting a new sequence and keeping the stock settings and using video that doesnt match the color space of the sequence (then again exporting with settings that don't match the color space). It's kind of like CMYK vs RGB (RGB is used for screens and shoudn't be used for printing, while CYMK is not good with screens, and should be used for printing). Color space determines how the colors work / gamma, hue, shade, etc. When you create a seq from the clip, you are taking the data from the clip and setting the seq to those settings. My advice, create custom sequences and save them as tempaltes for each type of project and each type of camera / color space you use.

@@travisegger1316 You'll only need to set it up in REC709 if you shot in REC709. Otherwise, it's not going to help you.

I am always up to the date. I keep the software up to date on release days as to not confuse myself ever. When it rolls over to a new version like v23 or v24, I keep the previous version program until all my client projects are complete from the previous version. But I always try to keep it updated daily.

Wow. I am really glad it worked well! Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words. I typically like to talk a lot, but I make videos like these for my students in my editing class. I'm really happy other people are getting something out of it.

Thank YOU for the watch and the comment. I hope it helped!

Hahahah. That's too small of a world!!! Hi Sara!!!!

I'm going to ask a couple questions, please don't take offense to anything, I'm just trying to figure out what might be the issue. 1. Did you record and edit in the same color space? Rec709? HLG? Etc. For example, if you filmed on an iPhone and edited in rec 709 that would be an issue as I think iPhones are standard different color space. 2. Is your screen calibrated with a color calibrator? I use a Spyder calibrator once a month, and every month it ends up tweaking it just a little bit. Meaning, it goes out of color calibration in a month. I'm not saying that's normal, but for the monitors I use, that's the case. 3. When your exporting, are you exporting to high quality? Make sure your exporting in the same color space, hi bitrate, Max depth, Max render. As well as a file format and codec that is appropriate I haven't made a video yet about exporting settings and why they matter, but maybe I should

@@NightOwlsMedia no problem, i've write trying to work around the problem... i've all the color space set up on Rec709, Sequence on Rec709, all the high quality option check boxed, filmed on Sony FX30, editing on a Eizo Monitor

@@claudioCarraro ​super jealous of the Eizo, that's really nice! How do you like it? I've been eye balling them for a while. As for exporting with incorrect colors - this is tricky. I wish I had a 100% answer for this. Have you tried exporting an un-graded ProRes 4444 into DaVinci Resolve? Try adjusting the colors in Resolve and export out a test. See if that works, just as a test of a couple shots. I know Resolve is a different beast, and one I'm not qualified to teach on, but whenever I need something higher end, I use it (very slowly) for grading. I know this isn't the best answer - we're all trying to figure this out and Adobe is not being very helpful with it.

Very happy to hear it worked for you! That rec709... Even though it's basically industry standard..... Thank you for the comment in the watch, man!

You're fabulous!

Very happy that it helped!

Thank you for the comment and the watch - be sure to watch the newest video on this to ensure your settings are correct as well so you are actually seeing what color you are producing in the editor.

I hope it helped! Thank you for the kindness!

Wow!!!! That's a damn fine way to open my email! Haha. Thank you for the incredibly kind words and all the love (and from Fiji!!!!! That's insane to a Chicago kid)!! But more than that, im really happy to know that it helped you out with your editing / videos. Hope the editing goes smoothly brother!

@@NightOwlsMedia Brother, you just Cured my stress.!! no joke!. Stay safe brother. And thank you once again. Keep doing your amazing work! cheers

It's the Smoke B, and can not love it enough. Granted we've only played with it for.one shoot and this messing around portion. Lol but it's so much fun

@@NightOwlsMedia honestly i was looking at this on amazon when it was on deal and thought ooooooo that looks good

Dude, thank you so much! That made my day!!

So happy to hear that it worked for you!! Thank you!

Wow, what a nice comment! Thank you so much! That means a great deal!

Very happy that it worked well for you! Thank you for the kind comment!

I'm really happy that it helped - thank you for the love Stick man!

Happy that it helped! Thank you for the comment. I do not use any additonal lut to alter the color / toning anymore. I've been exporting with my normal settings and it's coming out fine

Thank you so much for the kind comment. That was very nice of you. As for the mouse cursor... I have not heard of that but it sounds like you might be having a driver / firmware issue or conflict. Try updating your drivers and any firmware for mouse or peripherals.

Either way, let me know if you get it resolved. You could help someone else who might have this issue in the future.

You are most welcome. Thank you for the watch and comment!

That is awesome to hear! Thank you so much for the watch in the comment, and for letting me know that it worked well. It means a lot!
