www.learningdslrvideo.com Do you feel like me that you become somewhat of a master of Lightroom and can make your pictures just rock by turning them from this in to this, or this in to this, but when it comes to using the Premiere or Final Cut you don’t seem to get the same results? With the new Lightroom 4 beta you can kind of feel that power again with your DSLR video footage. With Lightroom 4 for the first time you can playback videos after you import your card you can also trim the footage non-destructively. You can also take a frame grab or a hero shot if you will from the video and then make all the setting changes you want save that to a preset and then apply that preset to the video clip. DSLR video with the Canon cameras can easily over saturate a red shirt, desaturating the shirt in Premiere can take a little bit of time but Lightroom I can do it almost instantly. You can tweak it to your hearts content, but only the following will be used on the video: White balance Exposure Contrast White clipping Black clipping Tone curve Treatment (color) Split toning – Stu Mat tutorial show example as you talk about his twit photo Process version Calibration Some of the lens correction type effects are not supported because Adobe wants to keep it snappy and not slow it down with an intensive effect. However you can do some of these more advanced effects within PhotoShop like lens correction. OK you might be thinking, Dave that is cool but I probably won’t use it. And I have …

I don’t think you know what your talking about. Resolve costs 8x more than Lightroom and has been used to color grade many feature films and television shows. It has EDL and XML import and can grade ARRI Raw and R3D raw files natively. It also uses as custom YRGB color space/ Please read more about a product before your smash it.
It slays that amateur rubbish. DaVinci is for children.
In my experience, Lightroom doesn’t actually apply all of the settings defined on the frame grabbed to the video via the preset.
I wonder how this compares to my current color grading program, DaVinci Resolve.
could you tell me your settings you have on your T2i when recording this?
hey dave what settings do you shoot with when your in this room?
very nice tool.
indeed. photoshop hard.. lightroom EASY
damn, i want to make a professional HD movie and put it on DVD…right now i have no experience with DSLR’s, video editing, lenses, etc….how can i best learn everything i need to….by just messing around with each of them? But i gotta buy them first so i need to buy the best first before i can mess around with it….how long does it usually take to master all of these things?
very cool. thanks!
Canon T2i.
Hi, Dave–which camera did you use to film this video?
2:09 Your right eye went super saiyan! Love your vids bro. All the way from New Zealand!
for animated things, doesnt lightroom only do 10fps?
Great video. This is something I would use. I find colour correcting in Final Cut tiresome and Lightroom would be a much more intuitive way to go about it.
Thanks Dave!
For 1080 footage, 10mbit/s is a pretty big drop in quality no matter the size you view it. Hope this helps.
Didn’t even know you could do any adjustments to DSLR video with Lightroom. Thanks for the info.
Do you mind saying the name of this plugin because I’m not finding it.
@drumat5280 have you had a chance to play around with Magic Bullet looks? It’s a premier/after effects/final cut plug in that works similarly except it’s meant for video. Also Colorista is awesome for advanced color correcting! Thanks for the really good video as usual!
You can export your video from lightroom as a series of .dpx files, which can then be opened by premiere or adobe media encoder and edited as video, provided that you download the free plugin from adobe. There should be no loss in quality via bitrate limitations that way.
very interesting!
hey Dave you should take a look at Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks 2
1 more thing of advantage Lightroom over Aperture. I think to change from Aperture to Lightroom after this video.
I wanted to add though, that on the whole your tutorials and reviews are refreshing and you’re one of the nicest guys in the DIY DSLR guys on Youtube.
If you want to color grade video, you are much better off in premiere, after effects, or sony vegas. Do not shoot in canon standard picture style if you have any interest or intent on color grading in post. Use Technicolor Cinestyle w/ the recommended slider settings. This captures more detail and dynamic range near the clipping points that you can exploit in post.
