- Part 2/2 from my GoPro and action cam series is here! In this tutorial video, I cover exactly how I take my raw, unprocessed GoPro footage and turn it into sharp, vibrant video, ready to share with friends around the world. For me, it's all about creating action cam video that is as close to the real-life experience as possible, which is easier said than done sometimes! With these simple techniques, I feel like I can get it pretty close... now just to figure out how to show people how damn steep some of these trails really are ;)

I JUST RELEASED AN UPDATED VIDEO covering the best settings for your GoPro Hero 7,8 and 9 Black! czcams.com/video/3DoKXA8tCq0/video.html
The Loam Ranger, I have a question, if you have like 20 clips would you have to colour correct them individually or can you use a template to correct all the clips at once. Oh and I came to this video because of the video you just mentioned and I loved it, you are so helpful and honest. Keep up the good work!
Can you do a color grading one with adobe preimere pro
You can do an adjustment layer on top of the clips and color grade the adjustment layer witch will affect the clips.
@@kirbinTime I can answer this for you. You color correct one first. then select/highlight clips that you want to apply the same settings in the "color" tab/screen. use the mouse wheel click to click on the color corrected one and it will just copy those settings for you.
My gopro 4 only has wide view in 4k and 15 frames per second
I dont know why i watched this. i dont have a camera and i am color blind.
It must be that soothing voice. 🤔😂
*LoL*
😆😆😆
Yea am colour blind and I do have a camera, no gimble though evidently hero 7 black has something. You can still see the difference and just make the picture clearer and more vibrant. Grabbed davinci resolve 15 it is free.
LOL that is CZcams :)
Shift + D to toggle between the original image and the corrected image.
Thank you haha
@@KrazEKing you welcome!!!
the only dude that can make me watch 25 minutes of information loaded video in one sitting.
love your informative videos!
Haha thanks! Glad it was useful for you.
Agreed. I'm a start putting real life I to my videos. Thanks.
Same lol
Color correction is so black magic for me. I just spin things around and hope they look good. Thanks for sharing this with us.
You bet man! Glad it helped.
The Company’s name is blackmagic lol
HAHAHA
Yea me too are u colour blind too I dont understand most of the grading parts they are almost the same looks
FINALLY! A photographer who helps translate video-gibberish. THANK YOU!
You're not just a shredder of the gnar, but also an artist on the trail! Incredible stuff LR, I think I'm going to keep going back to this well of information over the next several months! Thanks Ranger!
'I have no idea and I'm perfectly ok with that.' Should a t shirt. A mantra for life....
Hands down the best gopro related videos on youtube. I come back to this series every time I want to make a video, and it always makes my footage look 10000% better. Thanks for the help, keep it up!
man wow. JUST WOW. I should write a whole paragraph on just how satisfied i am with this video. I learnt so much, and the best part? I had fun doing it!
Really appreciate this video as I just got a GoPro and had no idea where to start. Quick note, in the color section there IS an actual Shadow, Midtone, Highlights adjustment. If you see right above Gamma there are three dots for different windows and you are in the first. If you click over to the third dot there are actual settings for Shadow, Midtone, and Highlights
Not sure if this will change your editing process as it already looks good, but figured I'd share the discovery :)
Hey LR. I've probably watched a dozen or so videos about color correcting GoPro footage, but this video is the best I've seen so far. Its simple without being over-simple, and better yet it's specifically for MTB footage! Thanks so much.
Been a MTB’er for a number of years and just purchased my first GoPro! Man I sincerely appreciate this video, I had no idea I even needed to edit GoPro footage let alone figure out what software to use and become proficient with that as well! My kiddo is on a strider and I wanted to make a progression video of her moving to pedals now I’m actually confident I can make a decent vid, also have a trip to angel fire planned in a few months and now I can dial all this in, thanks brother 🙏
I learnt some stuff! Thanks for that Ryan! GoPro footage on CZcams is about to get a ton better!
Why was I moved to a wonky universe where "learned" never existed...
@@preluder4 You mean everywhere BE spelling is used?
man, with this two vids you have taken my fear of post production!
in the future i will make it.
thanks a lot
The best tutorial on video editing by far ! Thanks for simple instructions which take the fear away.
Love your version of color correcting. I've watched a ton of videos of people trying to get it perfect. That's all well and good, but I'm with you, I want to spend as little time while getting a really good quality. Everything you've recommended is noted and now I just have to do something worth filming.
Your videos (Part 1 & 2) are amazing! Thank you much.
And the universe provides, thanks for sharing this with the community, this is exactly what I’ve been wanting to find out how to do as I’m just trying to learn how to film and edit. Cheers 🍻
Awesome! Glad it's been helpful
Thank you for putting these together. I've watched a ton of tutorials about color grading. They spend far more time, and while the final product looks better over all, they're working on cinematic short films. I really enjoyed this because it makes it simple to color grade for POV action shots. I can't wait to start to use some of your tips.
Cheers James! Ya you can really go down the rabbit hole with grading technique haha.
Wish I could like this like a million times. So specific and to the point. I can use this for my videos with my normal camera and the gopro I just got. Thank you so much for doing this.
This is hands down the most useful two videos on the go pro I've seen (well these two, along side the "flashing a go pro hero 2018 into a 5 black" that gave me all the tuning options you discus on a previously basic camera) brilliantly shot and presented. First time viewer of your stuff and future regular viewer. Subscribed. Happy trails man.
Thanks Sam! Ya I recently watched that Hero 5 conversion vid as well - that’s pretty awesome!
One off the best instruction videos. Made by rider. Thank you!!!
That's great to hear! Thanks man
I'm new at using a GoPro so I am gathering information on using it to the best of my ability, and you are helping me immensely. Thanks for your clear and direct videos!
Maaannnnn....I can't thank you enough for this. My son and I are starting a video project after a lifetime of being on a bike literally saved me from checking out of the game of life at the hands of a very dangerous blood disorder last summer and we of course want it to look as good as possible. This will really, really help. Thank you.
Wow, these two videos have been very informative. Thanks!
I've been looking for this kind of video for ages. Great to see i watched pt 1&2. I have a hero 8 black so now I've got to try and figure out bits and pieces so I can it to record flat images 👍ive subscribed as I believe theres much to learn from your channel keep up the good work.
Brand new to this sort of thing, and you sir just made it so much easier to just jump in and get a good head start! Thank you so much!
Man, you are right. The end result is just amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow! No wonder your videos are so much better than all of the other videos out there!!! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting these two videos, I’ve learnt so much from them. Now I’m looking forward to getting out there and putting it all together. Again, thank you so much 👍
You bet! Good to hear it's been helpful.
The Loam Ranger, just one question... did you convert the files from MP4 to another format to import them in to Davinchi? It doesn’t seem to like the MP4 from my Hero 5 as it just won’t import it.
I am fully bamboozled at the fact that this is a free program. Thank you so much for showing us this!
Thank you for taking the time to slow it down for newbies! Super helpful!
Thanks for these 2 videos mate! You just gave me the best tips for my gopro 4 since I got it.
Good to hear!
Thankyou for this man, this and the previous video are exactly what I was hoping to find. You kick arse!
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out.
My words cannot describe how grateful I am for your videos, especially this one! Thank you!!!!!!!!! I wish I could give you a hug!
This video was fantastic for me! Explained simple color correction. Thank you.
I've been really struggling with getting the gopro color correction right in Premiere CC. This video helped tons! Even though its a different software, this was brilliant! I was totally overthinking it, and after one quick pass I ended up with a much better result. Thanks!!
Awesome! It’s true, just a few simple steps can make all the difference.
Right?!? I was going down the road of installing LUTs and all this other stuff and it was just a mess. Thanks again!
How much was the software
@@ThatsJustEric I know this is a 6 month old comment, but the software he's using in the video is called Davinci Resolve and it's a full powered professional editing suite for free. Adobe Premiere Pro is a tried and true alternative at 30$ a month for the whole adobe suite of programs.
@@Prodiod Thanks
Hi mate I watched this series last month and have followed every step, pretty much exactly. I have just uploaded my first video and it looks great, so cheers!
Andrew Rogers TV awesome! Well done man.
I'm so stoked dude!!!!!!!! This has solved so many problems that i've been beating my head on the wall over ahah,, i honestly believe that a video that teaches how to transition between footage or audio? but I'm absolutely in love with your channel atm! keep at it dude! keep shredding gnarly stuff!!
Thank you for posting these two videos. We’re now using GoPros for our local tv station and you have been a great help!
You can use the the white and the black cross next to Gain and lift to set the brightest and darkest points of the image. It does a pretty good job. You just click on the cross, then click on the image for what you want to set.
The Autowhitebalance is also pretty good, and does make the job very easy. Espacially the snow shot would take like 3 clicks and youre done. :)
Good tips!
Very good and informative video, thanks for this!
Thanks!
Thanks for these videos, not only were they informative but now your channel gets left on our TV for hours at a time.
Man, the difference it makes is huge! Thank you. I thought you had to apply the grade manually to each clip, then discovered if you've got clips from the same lighting area you can use '='and '-' as shortcuts to apply same grade used in previous and 2 previous clips ago.
That's for sharing DaVinchi Resolve. I'd never heard of it before and it looks like a great, simple yet powerful editor and best of all it's free unlike other editors which cost a small fortune.
I love Resolve! Glad you’ve been enjoying it so far.
@@TheLoamRanger I changed my mind. It doesn't support H.265.
Dude! You are freaking awesome! Thank you so much for this little series. You covered everything I've been wanting to know, and I didn't even have to search for it!!
Subscribed my man. Thank you again!
Good to hear! Thanks for subscribing!
Any idea if I can get this program on Windows 10 Home edition? 2.16ghz processor with 4 gigs of ram and I believe 500+gb harddrive. I'm using a relativly new, cheaper HP laptop.
if not, do you have a program that you can suggest? Preferablly free... lol.
Thanks for your help brotha. btw, I kept my word. I subscibed to your patreon page :-)
In complete admiration of your pragmatic attitude to quick & efficient editing. I used to spend ages on photoshop; now it's raw/ auto/ tweak/ straighten/ sharpen and that's about it. Learning Resolve from scratch is a pretty steep curve, but hoping to apply the same principle and to achieve reasonable results. Thank you!
Thank you so so much, Ryan! You just made my footy look three times as good as before!
I did everything from the first video, my footage looks way better already
Awesome! That’s great to hear.
Hey Ryan, great video! If you're trying to see a before and after, you can hold the shift key and press the D key to toggle between the to. Another thing that you could use are "still" that way you can copy and paste the same look onto multiple clips. I've worked with resolve a bunch so if you have any questions I'd be happy to talk some tech color science stuff with a fellow biker.
Good tips! Despite using Resolve nearly every day, I’m still a bit of a noob haha
WOW MAN, ive learned more in this 25 min video then all the videos ive watched about gopros over YEARS of shooting. your the man for these videos. thanks. I mainly shoot motorcycle , snowboarding, boating and vacation footage with my friends and family. My new GP8 should be here tomorrow. cant wait to get some footage so I can use all these tips
Thank you SO MUCH for this video and Part 1. I cannot WAIT to try all of these tips, you have no idea how amazing this is!!!! KEEP IT UP.
Just found your channel...You my friend made that look amazingly easy!! Good job, Sub'D
Handy tips, I’ve been struggling to get nice footage from my GoPro Session 5 for a while now, I’m going to try out the stuff you go over in these videos.
Awesome! I hope it goes well for you.
Great work Ryan! This is the exact video I was looking for when I decided to start putting out videos.
I just got my first GoPro for motorcycle vlogging and I am LOVING your videos thank you!
Excellent content... I've been looking for something better than GoPro Quick to edit
TOTALY going to do this once I start posting! Thank YOU!!! you help so much!
Fantastic video! Love your MTB riding videos, but I actually typed 3 pages of notes to myself from this 2-part series because it's so useful. Thank you, Loam Ranger!
Playing those clips at the end of the video would be nice :D
Sir, you just earned yourself another SUB 🙌🤠 cheers!
Nice! Thanks for subscribing!
@@TheLoamRanger same here
Really great information here. Thanks for putting this series together. I'm excited to try this out!
Stumbled over this looking for something else. Had no idea about DaVinci, so Huge Thank You for that. The rest? Simply Brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This was EXACTLY what I needed. I've watched 3-4 hours of Da Vinci tutorials & was absolutely none the wiser. All I want to do is edit my travel videos, not create an Oscar winning film. Cheers again L.R.!
Damn... we're ALL gettin' schooled over here.... 🤔
(Except for maybe TrailFeatures 😂)
Just wanted to drop a thanks for your GoPro settings and color correcting vids. It has helped me to get the most out of my ancient GoPro Hero 3+ Black and for turning me on to Davinci Resolve. Just upgraded to a Hero 9 Black so I came back for a refresher course on the settings and color correction. I will be recommending your channel specifically for this info as it's the clearest and to the point video on the subject I have found and I've watched lots of them!
Thanks a lot for all the tips! Can't wait to try this! Awesome how to video!
Thanks dude! Really wish I could edit like you Ryan.
Thanks again for the first tip. So I replaced my settings which is the same as BKXC before to yours, but my footage turned out to be dull and blurred I didn't know what went wrong so I went back to BKXC setting for the time being. Now I'm gonna watch this video of yours. of course I commented before watching it. Thanks Mate.
Nice! Yup you definitely need both (settings and proper color correction) for things to look their best.
awesome!!! time for editing crash course haha
You have no idea how much useful this video was for me! Love your content ;) Subscribed!
Beat tutorials I've ever seen! Thank you for making them
Nice!! Is there a way to copy and paste your settings from one clip to the next? In case you have multiple clips from the same location.
Pat Drumm with resolve yes
I've always wondered why my Hero 4 black footage was crappy, I have a SJCam M20, which knocked the spots off the gopro, both on standard auto settings. I read that the focus on the gopro could actually be out, and after messing with the lens, still never managed to get the quality I was expecting/hoping for.
Great video you have done, i'm now going to start the experimenting with the setting. It would be great if you could do small video clips explaining each of the individual settings in protune so novices like me could get out the camera, look at the weather and tap in your recommended settings for the type of day, giving us an idea why..
Either way, I've learnt a lot, thank you. Kind regards.
Good suggestions! Thanks for the feedback 👌🏼
Very good explained, watched part1, learned a lot. BIG thank you!!! Best video by far!!!
Thanks for the two videos learned so much can't wait to try it out.
litteraly, in the moment when I pressed subscribe...you stopped video, took a breath and said: "before we go any further"
15:21
Just bought my first GoPro, went for the Hero 7 Black edition.
What settings would you recommend for a dark area filled with lasers, music and lights, smoke etcetc?
The don’t be in the dark setting
Thanks for taking the time to teach about our techniques. You have motivated me to stop being so lazy and relying on the default gopro settings. My videos are about to come to life!
TBH I was literally searching for something simple to understand, and this just helped me alot!!! I’ve learned what i wanted in a simple words, thank you so much !! 🙏🏼
Thanks for that Ryan, one hell of a video, looking forward to trying it out. What spec is your laptop? Need something grunty for 4K right?
Good luck making your channel full time, sure a Summer of riding will up the likes and subscribers.
Churr from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Cheers Michael! It's a quad-core MacBook Pro with 16 gig ram. It just barely does the job :)
Is this indeed the minimum needed to do this post-prod color editing? My laptop literally crapped out and it's time for me to buy a new one. @@TheLoamRanger
Nice one Ryan. I color-correct about as much as iMovie(!) lets me but might be looking at Resolve for that extra adjustment.
There’s gonna be a lot of people now look at their footage and say “y’know, it really DOES look washed out!”
Haha oops?
resolve is free mate
Thanks for sharing. Im just about to go pick up my new GoPro 7 Black and now downloaded DaVinchi Resolve. Cant wait to check it out! Thanks alot!! Keep up the videos, so clear and easy to follow. Good job!
This is the kind of video I have been searching throughout my life ....Thannnk uuuuu.. loved it
My GoPro Hero 8 review is LIVE! GoPro won't like this one... czcams.com/video/IoAac4NkSeQ/video.html
The Loam Ranger these camera videos are great, so helpful
thank you very much. :) possible to also share on best setup for snow/winter season ? appreciate !
thanks, man! You saved my life
Please Please Please set your camera to manual focus when you are stationary! Focus seek drives me NUTS!
Hey fella great vid. Do you stick to the same levels from GoPro Hero 7 footage? And adding my voice to request levels/settings for snow footage. Cheers again.
Fun learning new things. Great job. Well, I am brand new to using a GoPro. I have done a lot of photography with my Nikon and Sony DSLR and iphone but not videos. I will be going to Hawaii and hope to get great footage, especially under water. Do you have any tutorials on underwater filming and editing? Finally, once I have edited, can I upload and share on on google photos or iPhotos?
Excellent guide! I've just gone back and graded a previous edit, what a difference. My edits moving forward will be so much better. Cheers :)
This was great! Real, usable, clear, babysteps, advice. So good!
I can't wait to put this advice into use. Thank you!
That's awesome to hear!
I knew it was davinici resolve.... Lmao great tutorial! 10/10 color grading
Alex G is that program free or what one do I get to just do what he did
@@sxsmarine4075 Don't get DaVinci Resolve Studio just the regular one
Hey mate, had one more question as well - I went for a motorbike ride on the weekend and I've just had my first crack at editing based on this video. My issue is that at the start of the ride it was quite cloudy and by the end it was very sunny, with several parts of the ride under dense trees. I know you covered it all individually, but is there any way to 'split / adjust' the colour corrections across different sections of a video? Hoping you have another video... Cheers!
Im not very good at editing, but I know one thing that could potentially help you out:
In resolve, when you are in the Edit tab, find a nice place where you want to change the settings in teh video. If you hit B or the "razor edit mode", this will allow you to split out clips from other clips. This way I think you can do what TLR did in the video, and set the different color settings for each individual clip.
(Havent tried it myself, but I've used the razor edit mode a couple of times, and it makes sense :P )
And please shame me if you tried it and it didnt work :D
This is just like using levels and curves in photoshop. Love the honesty about learning enough to make it look good and not too much more. Keep em coming!
Exactly. They actually have a curves tool in there that I use here and there. Super handy, coming from a photography background.
Nice helpful video. Would you say that using this program is easier than using say like Sony Vegas?
i used sony vegas. and moved to da vinci recently. let me say one thing. resolve is easier to understand and some features are faster done in resolve also. but i still love vegas hehe..
@@animetv3499 I'm the opposite, I find resolve so clunky. Vegas seemed so easy by comparison but maybe my memory is fooling me.
Recently switched to resolve from vegas pro. I will not be going back.
The learning curve when switching is pretty strong, but the amount of tools you have *for FREE* vs a paid program like vegas pro is just insane. Resolve is so much more powerful. tons of tutorials on youtube to help you out.
There's one thing I missed here: So you color correct one clip but how would you transfer all the settings over to another clip in the same setting? Like for instance if the camera made the cut, but the action keeps going.
Good question! You can either make nodes, or you can do it the noob way and just copy paste the adjustments, like I do 😂
The Loam Ranger so there's no "right click, copy visual effects, paste all effects" like in other programs? Maybe in the update... 😉
FlowPublican I'm sure there is! But I have no idea haha
FlowPublican - I use Davinci Resolve on Windows. To copy the grade applied to a clip, click the node, press CTRL + C, then click on the next clip, click the node, then press CTRL + V. If your clip has more than one node, then you need to do it repeat this for each node.
You can right click on the main image in the viewer of a colour corrected scene and "Grab Still". It will put a still image off to the left. When you want to apply the same grading to another scene, just select the scene and right click on the still image and select "Apply Grade".
Thanks for these videos. When I dive into filming and video editing, this will help me to pay attention to the suggested settings.
Super vid - as a noob to all this stuff the info in these two videos has been amazing. Thanks for taking the time to share!!
Are you sure they won't skip 16 or 17 versions and go straight to 18? :D This video is going to be up on my desk top for some time as a reference. Thanks!
Haha I wouldn't be surprised. Glad you found it helpful man!
Great tutorial. Very informative. I downloaded and tried DaVinci last week. Unfortunately my laptop didn't quite got the muscles for it, so I tried Filmora instead. Cost you a few and maybe not as feature packed as DaVinci. But close enough. But then, due to a Avast update followed by a Windows update, my laptop went blank. Found a fix, which I spend all night last night trying without any luck. So I'll try again tonight. And hopefully I soon will get the chance to try out all the magic I've learned :)
Then back to experimenting on camera settings (4k or 2.7? (less file size, a tad more out of the batteries) Superview or Wide? (maybe cropping 4:3 to 16:9?)
Till then, have a good one!
It's always good to try new settings! Hope your computer fires back up soon.
The Loam Ranger Yeah. I'll try again tonight. So hope it'll will. Or it's a reason to get a new computer ;)
On the Trail did you download 14 or 15? I hear 15 is built to run much faster on slower systems. Maybe give that a try!
I'm not sure. I guess it was 15. Just grabbed it from their homepage.
This is very helpful, i was searching for a color grading video for all season, you explained it so nicely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you so much ❤️
So much informative!! Thanks a lot for such a brilliantly informative tutorial!!!
GoPro Hero 7 is here 🙃🙃
And it's crap
