Speed Up Your Editing Workflow in Premiere Pro Using Motion Graphics Templates for Lower Thirds
We all want to get out editing done faster, of course having a fast computer can help. But how often are you looking for graphics or copying from another project because you want to add something like the lower thirds in. Well using motion graphics templates can really speed that up as it will be readily accessible in your Graphics Templates window, or if you haven't upgraded to Premiere Pro 2025 in the Essential Graphics window. You can then get to them right there and you can even fill in the blanks for a different person or title.
This is great if you use the same graphics like titles and lower thirds over and over. You can also share them so that your colleagues can have the same graphics including the wonderful animations you have created.

Using the Ronin RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, RS 4 Pro Gimbals as a Remote Head

Whenever most of us pick up a gimbal we think nice smooth handheld stabilised video, and why not, it is good at it. However, I also use mine a remote camera, mainly when shooting video, but I have used it to get a remote photograph too. So the challenges are keeping it powered and also controlling it. Also make sure you secure it. I do use safety cables to be on the safe side if it is out of th...
High-frequency anti-flicker shooting with EOS R5 Mark II. Remove projector flicker shooting video
Переглядів 3522 місяці тому
If you are like me and shoot conferences and lectures you might come across a problem with projectors and screens flicker because they are at a different frequency to the camera system. Thankfully in the EOS R5 Mark II and R1 you can detect the frequency and use a precise shutter to get rid of it. I also show you how to dial it in manually.

Powering Canon EOS R5 C with v-lock battery for longer run times
Переглядів 3772 місяці тому
The R5 C is such a versatile camera and great for putting on a gimbal. The only downside I can see is the battery life. I have been caught out a number of times when the battery is running low just at the time you don't have time to change it without missing the shot. So after trying a few conigurations I now power it with a v-lock battery mounted on a nato rail. Here's what I did. You might al...

What is Shutter Angle and Do You Need to Use It?

    Useful demo - thank you. At least this cover looks as though it needs some intention to remove it, unlike the one on the R3 which just slides in and out. The downside of that is that it can come off accidentally. I lost mine without realising it had come off, I think it may have happened when carrying the camera on a sling type strap with the camera hanging down at my side. I suspect it brushed against my clothing and slid off. A small piece of equipment but not a small price to replace.

      I would use the HDMI to a capture device like ATEM Mini Pro or one of the versions of it or a device like the Cam Link 4K for input. There are other capture devices but these are two that I use. So the other way to power your camera is to get an EOS mains adaptor or a D-tap to dummy LP-E6 to a v-lock battery. I use both of these too. If I'm on the gimbal for extended time I use the v-lock option. Hope that helps.

Screen says camera is on "standby". I had a HLX-E6NH battery in my camera. I then changed my battery to an LP-E6NH. Still didn't work. I live stream often on my channel and I want to start using my canon instead of my laptop camera, but I need continual power for hours and the battery just can't keep up...nor do I want to keep changing the battery in the middle of the stream. I am considering getting that power delivery bank you have from Anker, but if my camera won't work when plugged into my laptop charger...why will it work when plugged into the pd bank you have? Any thoughts on why? Any help would be great.

    Correction: The timecode port and connector are not mini BNC. The cable connection is called Din1.0/2.3 Connector. There isn't actually a Mini BNC, but there is a Micro BNC, but that isn't what the Canon R5 C uses either. BNC are a twistito-lock connector. For the Canon R5 C the Din1.0/2.3 connector needs to be an extra long connector to prevent it from potentially getting stuck in the camera port. This is explained in the user manual.

      That would be nice and than k you for the compliment. I think I need to make more videos, including one about this great question you have asked. You’ll be please to know I tested this with two v lock batteries I have that have D-tap for the Ninja V and USB-C for the R5. Both of these batteries are great and have displays showing battery capacity. The Moman 99 Pro shows how much left is time. The great thing about the R5 is when the camera is off the internal batter will charge from these external batteries. The Moman 99 Pro is amzn.to/3OmM2Xl The FXLion Nano One is amzn.to/459zoCh, there are higher capacity Nano Two and Nano Three. You’ll need a D-tap cable if you haven’t got one for connect the Ninja V, this one has a locking barrel, amzn.to/3DLeEod If you like the v lock option, and it powers so many things you might just need some rails from Smallrig or someone like that. I used this to clamp on to tripod, amzn.to/45xKXmz These are all on the Amazon UK site but might take you to Amazon in your country if you have it. You can always shop elsewhere, this is where I got them. But these links are a starting point. I don’t think C-Log 3 itself uses more battery power or much more but raw certainly will. By the way, I use these batteries for my Rotolights too. They are so versatile. And I believe will also power a MacBook or at least charge it and apparently they are flight safe if you take as carry on luggage. Hope that helps and thanks for a great question and your support.

    Thanks very much for this clear and highly informative video.I've just ordered a power bank of my own to test this setup with my EOS R5. A key point worth emphasizing is that the USB-C PD needs to support at least 9V/3A and 5V/3A (in my case, from a 45W power bank). I also use a (SmallRig) camera cage but I'm planning to hang the power bank from a hook on the tripod to enhance stability. BTW, it's important to use a good USB-C to USB-C cable that supports Power Delivery (like the one supplied with the R5). I picked up a rather expensive Thunderbolt 4 cable which also supports very high speed data transfers (limited to 10 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 2) for the R5). FYI, the Vivitar Creator Series HDMI to USB Video Capture Card is a low cost HDMI capture device which accepts up to UHD resolution and outputs 1080p over USB. I was even able to record to an Android device with an app called “USB Camera (Standard)”.

    • @howzchannel9843
