I appreciate your response and I have been thinking about using magic lantern but. The developers having made a stable build yet. Igave it a try but my card on let me get 5secs of footage before stopping . I heard that you will need a fast card in order to use it with out it stopping automatically I have a 16gb 45mb/s extreme class 10 sdhc card but that only lets me get 5secs before stopping do u kno which card I should get?

I have a canon rebel t4i/650d and I use sony vegas for grading/editing. https://db.tt/SBJYPfVy

I use sony vegas pro 12 and I got magic bullet installed ill give it a try and upload a an attachment of my footage please give me feedback on my results thx

Thx for the replys ...but I can go about dropping the contrast and desaturate the footage. But how would I boost the blacks ?

this was video was shot outside so the sun was probably the big sourcd of light. I yhink this is dond in post probably with curves but im not sure how to achieve this look

I see alot of videos with this look. It look like a white overlay giving the video a powedery look is it done in camera or with a software ???? Click link for image https://db.tt/2dLK3nUK

Thanks alot man i find this very useful and bouncing the light seems to work for me !!

Thx for the reply im working with little space so light might be to strong on the subject and he has a white wall behind him while he is sitting at a table. I have one light behind him for shoulder back light and one in front as a fill light but the fill light spreads way pass the subject hitting the back wall behind him ...do u think I have to tinker with my shutter speed, iso, and appeature ?

Im having troble controlling my two continues shoot through umbrella lights. I want to create a dark shadow and nice highlight look but the umbrella lights fill the entire room when I turn them on. Example below I wanna do something light this. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=webhp&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=FUvuUomlK4Ss2wWq_4HoDg&q=dark+shadows+and+highlights+cinema&oq=dark+shadows+and+highlights+cinema&gs_l=mobile-gws-serp.3...79665.93790.0.95132.22.17.2.0.0.2.346.2916.0j6j6j2.14.0....0...1c.1.32.mobile-gws-serp..10.12.2812.GmVpNaMV_dA#biv=i%7C91%3Bd%7Ckhvy1CUMvLT4dM%3A

If high yelllow was the look he was going for then its a good grade. But if he is a beginner seeking help I would not recommend uping the yellows would tell him to keep it basic and the cigarette is color graded yellow.

Nice grading skills but I think the yellows should get turned down....so it will look more natrual and realistic. If you look at her cigarette its also yellow turn it down a few notches my opinion.

Hello I shoot and edit music videos by myself just wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I also want to kno what would you have done. I am very good at shooting and editing footage. Just wanna learn more does anyone have any ideas on lighting color grading etc? video link below
