This video needs to be seen by millions and millions of people. I'm just blown away by how simple yet informative the explanations are. I don't even have such cameras with recording capabilities but I love watching these videos
New to video (Nikon Z9). I'm a stills photography for Sports/Action/Wildlife without video experience. I've been making my way through UA-cam videos dissecting out one piece at a time (i.e. H.254 vs H.265 vs ProRes vs N-Log). I landed here looking for a visual representation of the lingo 4:2:0 vs. 4:2:2 vs 4:4:4. This was the best video explanation I've found to date. Can't thank you enough. Frame rates, gamma, and who knows what else next. I love your last comment (summarizing) that it's not all about the specs - but the craft of story telling etc.
@@CamberFilmSchool LOL. Now that I've just started, that seems like the understatement of the year! Just taking it slow, going out in the field, experimenting with shutter angles, codec, etc. as a way to reinforce what I'm learning. Again, thank you for providing a rational and clear explanation. Many thanks.
Great explanation the manufacturers do not explain it in their commercials. Camera reviewers mention 422 or 420 but do not stop to define the terms. Thank for this video!👏
Thanks for the explanation - I understood bit depth but this has helped me finally understand what 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 actually means, and the implications of it!
Sir I have been reading so many articles in internet to study about the difference between 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling..but not even one of them has explained it clearly about what happens...all of them just uses hifi technical terms ,paying no heed on explaining it in simple terms...but you have done a great job and I totally understood the concept... thanks a lot sir!!
I can't express how grateful I am for this video. Explained so well and the graphic illustrations were on point and so easy to understand🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Masterpiece of a tutorial. Liked and Subscribed🔥
Canon RP, and it does have 4:2:2 with external recorder via HDMI. Otherwise 4:2:0 internally (8 bit color on both). I'm on the fence about picking up an Atomos Ninja V.
Yea, unless you are doing a lot of work that requires keying colors like green screen, I probably wouldn’t get it just for the 4:2:2 upgrade. If it was an external to 10 bit as well, then that would be a lot more beneficial. That’s why I never used a recorder with my a7iii because it was still 8 bit. But I’m going to try out the ninja with my a7Siii to try out that RAW video.
@@CamberFilmSchool For me, the RP is just a stepping stone. It's not the end camera I'll be using, so that's why I was considering the Atomos. I completely agree that if I'm only ever going to use the RP, yeah, not worth getting the Atomos. I had purchased the RP cause I actually didn't like either the R or RP and the R5 and R6 hadn't been officially announced yet so I wanted to go cheap just to buy time until later when I planned on upgrading. The the Atomos Ninja V would eventually get used to its potential.
Hi Camber. Brilliant, colourful and easy to understand presentation. The best one I have ever seen. I'd not really appreciated the effect of Luma with 4:2:0 so thank you especially for that. BobUK.
Took me awhile to finally understand subsampling. But I should have just watched this video. Either way it’s pretty good that you mentioned that it’s not everything and that with the 4 of luminance it won’t be so drastic. Also remember that when you watch even a UHD blu ray at 90mbits it’s still at 4:2:0 10bit. Processing and compression methods can retain the look you want.
I was contemplating on purchasing a Gigabyte M32U 4K monitor for my pc and PS5 setup but a common complaint is that the HDMI 2.1 will require the PS5 to be adjusted to 4:2:0 chroma sub sampling to take advantage of the 4K gaming video quality. People made it sound like the picture quality was going to be poorer or half as good in some way and feel like they are being cheated. But this video made it clear that I’m not going to visually see a loss in visual quality. Thank you for this video. It helped with my decision to buy this monitor.
nice video and finally someone more talks about Chroma Sampling. In Cinematography Light and Color and store that information is everything. I believe back in the days, the Sony F3, when coming out also had the oportunity to shoot in 444... nice I wait for 444 as an option on smaller budget cameras
This is incredibly well done. Great explanation and illustrations of complex camera functions. This is like the level of detail of Gerald undone but at the pace that a normal person can understand. Subbed and will be checking out more videos.
EXCELLENT instruction. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Most people would not be able to take a complex subject and distill it down into a clear, concise, and richly informative video the way that you have done. I liked and subscribed. Keep them coming.
First time I finally understand this concept, thanks a ton! Two quick questions for people smarter than me : - Coming from graphic design, Photoshop etc, for screen, we usually use three values for color information : hue (color/chroma), luminance… and saturation (hence HSL, which I find easier to make sense of compared to RGB, HEX, CMYK - the last one being for print anyway). Is saturation an obsolete/irrelevant notion when it comes to cameras/sensors? - Let’s say that I have the option to shoot either in 6k 4:2:0 or 4k 4:2:2, both in full frame, with the same camera, like a BS1H. If I don’t crop-in my 6k footage but resize it in my editor, will I keep a similar amount of color information? I understand that there are probably other variables to take in consideration though… Thanks again!
6K vs 4K is just more pixels for a larger image. But from what I understand, the 4:2:2 of the 4K would actually provide more accurate colors than a 6K video at 4:2:0.
Nice explanation, finally understand 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0. Now that my Sony A7RV has it i will use 10 bit but some ppl say you should still use 4:2:0 cause in HAVC-HS (H.265), it is much wider supported then 4:2:2. Now i only need to know S-log 3 vs HLG3 (mainly for landscape shooting, so not the typical portrait youtube video).
@@CamberFilmSchool Don't mind a long term 'hyper grading option' (with S-log seems) but to take accurate good video, i like WyziWyg, i forgot wich profile is default on A7RV but that one definitely is WyziWyg. (and probably still gradable).
Thanks so much! You definitely don't NEED it for every day use. I'm getting the new a7Siii, but I'm still going to shoot my normal youtube tutorials in 8-Bit 4:2:0 because there's no need for that higher quality with huge files for these tutorials. But I'll definitely be using it for my short films and client work.
Thank you so much, I'm a student in cinema (with the post production option), and that was the thing i was struggling to understand because honestly the explenations in the lesson sucks haha But that video was short and clear, it was what i needed, thank you !
You put so much effort in all your videos, lease I can do is hit the "Like" button. Crystal clear explanation, the graphics helped me visually understand. Thank you !
Thanks Camber … I’m considering going with DaVinci Resolve and understand that it will only process 4:2:0… (possibly old information?) …anyway appreciate your clear and concise video.

exactly, I felt the same. What a very useful video.
Awesome to hear!
This is the most clarified color sampling review among many
Thanks!
Yeap, I agree to that

Checking now to see if I've got the 4:2:2 option! There's so much to know with cameras... subscribed!! Love your in depth explanations
There definitely is a lot to know! What kind of camera do you use?
Can't wait to use that 10-Bit 4:2:2 on my Sony a7Siii when it finally arrives!
