Just got mine yesterday. Been watching you've videos about it since then. You're very helpful. Please make more videos about the GoPro 8 Black. I'm in learning Mode right now. Thanx
Excellent suggestions, I just used the POV setting for video shooting in a 10K race and it worked perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to explain and share the information!
For indoors: 2.7K 30 1/60 Narrow Hyper smooth Boost 200 to 400 ISO 2800/3200 or 4000 if mixed-light medium or low sharpness flat color + light to object
@@forestchaput is the 8 as stabil as people claim? (Usually review people are paid and or got a free camera) I wish people would post RAW,100% untouched ,UNgraded..ACTUAL out of camera footage
With timelapse mode: Why not make 3 or 4 settings with the only difference of the interval? That would be much quicker then adjust it with going through the menue. Because the gopro gives numbers, if you give a setting the same name. I.e. outdoor 1, outdoor 2 and so on. And a tip: always start with the setting you need most seldom and finish with the setting you need most. Why? Because the last setting will be on the top of the menue! I followed your (by the way: very good) video and had the wrong settings on top at the end. Had to do all again ;)
As a still photographer my knowledge translates to fairly well to video, at least it is a good head start. Your instruction is very good and easy to follow. I found myself craving some B roll with your video😃. Thank you for the tutorial.
Great vid. Question: In your simpler ‘set it / forget it’ setup, why not set the ISO max much lower (as you did in the pro settings suggestion)? Are you assuming an amateur photographer would have issues with holding steady - so it’s better to have a faster shutter speed - or do you trust the higher ISO more for JPEGs?
Great question. I'm assuming that in most cases a professional will have some support (tripod, etc) that will enable use of a slower shutter speed. Or, that they will just manually raise that value as the light allows for it.
Question for an unusual application. Our GoPro Hero8 is BackBone modified. Lens gone. We use it on an infinity-corrected microscope. The data are to be processed numerically (Fourier transforms etc.) not really that interested in the image itself. We want fast. We want low light levels. Probably not important whether we have 1080p or 4K. Processing in image J or VLC preferred, but we can learn. We think it will make a nifty microscopy camera for the price. Suggestions for best optimization?
That’s awesome! Assuming you want the maximum SNR, I would go with a slow shutter speed for maximum light gathering and the lowest ISO to maximize the SNR.
I have a Hero 3 that's been dead for years. I'm taking advantage of GoPro's Trade Up offer and saving $100 on the new camera. Great deal: I get rid of a boat anchor and save big bucks at the same time! Thanks for this excellent vid.
Great video. I have a still photography background and have really gotten into cinematography this past year. Have the GoPro 5 & 7 and Iphone 11 pro. Have plans to modify the 7 through Back Bone so I can use my Nikon lenses and gain a "movie camera" with depth of field ability. I'm seriously looking at the GoPro 8. I plan on making short nature documentaries. I have viewed a lot of UA-cam tutorials regarding "cinematic settings" for the GoPro. Yours is the first where you recommend the highest possible ISO setting. I get that. My question: If you set the shutter speed, you definitely need an nd filter. And if you use an nd filter, according to the tutorials I've seen hyper smooth does not function. Most of my footage will be handheld. Do I disable this function and use a gimbal?
Great video! Im a beginner with gopro and just bought a hero8 for our non-profit organisation. I want to use it on either voice control (from my head) or in my hand to take photos mostly of horses hooves before, during and after I have trimmed them. I also want to take video footage. What settings would you recommend for these please? I thought about getting the media mod and light mod to video in dark stables.... any advice greatly received! thanks!
Thanks for your video. Great content! I have a question about my GoPro HERO8 Black but need some introduction first. I have a long road trip from Florida to Oregon. I bought a GoPro HERO8 Black to record the whole route in "real-time" (no timelapse). I want to upload the videos on YouYube in 4 parts. Each part is 8 to 9 hours driving (I will stop the camera to rest and shake my legs every 3 to 4 hours). I will mount the camera inside my car on the official GoPro Mount. I want to do minimum effort after recording (no color grading, no lut, no music ....) as these files would be huge and rendering takes forever! For storage, I have two SanDisk Extreme Pro Micro SDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30 Memory Card (256GB). For battery, I have two of them, a charger, and a 20500 mA power bank. Also, I have the easy option of connecting the GoPro directly to the cigarette lighter charger. With this introduction now my question is: What setting do you recommend on my GoPro for video recording of this long trip? P.s.: Please let me know if you have any advice. Best, Ehsan
I would probably recommend shooting 1080p at 24fps to limit the amount of heat built up in the camera, set the color to GoPro Color and you should be all set!
Rocky Mountain School of Photography thanks man. Does it require phantom power? If so what recorder are you using? I’m I’m the market to upgrade and I’m debating couple of different options but your audio sounded really clean
I got the GoPro 8 Black to start my own youtube channel, I tested it and it worked great. Then shot tow hours of video and at some point, unbeknownst to me, it abruptly stopped recording audio. I checked everything, every setting, read the manual, googled it, pulled the battery, reformatted the card, tried the phone app settings, tried two different external mics and nothing worked. Then I stumbled across the factory reset option while trying to be calm, cool and collected and not chucking this thing out the window. And what do you know, it fixed it! I still can't figure out how the mic stopped working. I have no idea if it was me or if the firmware just gave me the middle finger. It was maddening.
So weird. I’ve found that a bunch of weird stuff can happen with the GoPro every once in a while. I try to reset mine once a month just to be safe. Annoying, but it prevents any issues like the one you are describing.
Happy Holidays! Thank you for the much needed tutorials. I am planning to use Hero 8 in my car, what settings would you recommend? I do some 6ish hours driving from time to time. I have the dash cam already but I want to try this instead. Thanks again!
The date and time wouldn’t be visible on the footage however it would be baked into the metadata of each file. As for settings, I would run it off of a USB power bank and shoot 4K at 30fps. That should work perfectly!
price just dropped $50 more dollars for the Gopro 8 to 349. All of a sudden I can now afford it. My first gopro so I'm watching everything I can before it gets delivered.
Hi~! question about GP8 night lapse recording...somehow once record was pressed camera screen turnes black/blank unable to view the recording untill camera recording stop. unlike all other video recordings ONLY the night lapse recording unable to view in the screen while recoring starts...any settings this problem so i can view while recording happends. Thank You!!!
So I have these videos, time laps, and pictures in the settings you mentioned. Now how do I make them better in post processing? Is there a summer vacation setting especially for audio? I’m planning to take just a GoPro 8 to Disney and want to make sure I get the best results without having any extra attachments.
A problem! Firstly thank you for your help but I had a problem with the shutter speed. All the footage were extremely over exposed in a sunny day in both POV and Outdoor custom settings as you explained. When I changed the shutter speed to Auto footage became well exposed. Can you please tel me why did that happen and how to fix it without using Auto Shutter Speed. Thank you.
Thanks for your video, I followed your steps to set up my hero 8 but I got some issue, when you set up the outdoor for video setting 4k 60fps, min iso 100, max 6400 and shutter speed is 120, when I use the GoPro outside, the image is sooooo bright ...but when i change the shutter speed back to auto, it looks fine. I don't know which part was wrong of my settings. Do you have any suggestions?
Nothing is wrong, you just need to get yourself a neutral density filter to knock down the light a bit and allow the camera to shoot at 120th of a second shutter speed.
Excellent video :) Just got the hero 8 black. It is my first go pro. I've noticed that the camera gets very hot after 10-20 minutes of filming depenon the mode. Is that normal?
@@forestchaput thank you for the reply! Considering that gopro is a premium product I wasn't expecting this so got a little concerned. Typically how long can you film with it in continuation?
@@vyomps That depends a lot on settings. If you reduce the resolution to 1080 instead of 4K you can go almost indefinitely. If you are shooting 4K at 60fps I've found that it usually goes down after about 30 minutes.
you can not record in 4k 60 fps with super view. therefore gopro turn to 30 fps, when you choose super view. And alco when you than choose 60 fps, it will turn to wide...
Followed your settings step by step, and found that my first day videos were all "white-washed" out, and unusable. Luckily I checked at the end of the day, and changed back to default GoPro settings, but I lost some great footage riding my motorcycle through Palo Duro Canyon, TX. My bad for not testing before my trip started. Is there anyway to restore the white balance in an editing program? I'd love to get my videos back to a usable state.
Hmmm. Sounds to me like the shutter speed was too slow without having any ND filters in place. You might be able to recover the details, try the GoPro app, it has some good editing controls.
I would like to do as little editing as possible I would like the camera do all the work basically in one setting also I would like a good all-around setting for scuba diving if you could help me I'd really appreciate it I'm not a pro obviously I can follow your video and do what you're doing though but I'm not going to be working with sophisticated editing programs I'm just going to work with Quik
Hello! Great video. I am getting a Hero8 tomorrow to video our Blues Band gigs. We are actually thinking of several GoPros to get different angles. I prefer the linear shot and as you can imagine the venues are quite often in low light. I've been searching and really can't find anything specific regarding settings with GoPro for this type of scenario. I would like to setup an out of box setting that I can post on youtube right away AND also settings that I would use in my post editing with Final Cut Pro. If you've discussed this somewhere, please send me a link. Any help would be much appreciated!!
I would go with linear, 4K 30fps, GoPro color, no limit on max ISO, or Shutter Speed. In fact, you could even turn off ProTune and just let the camera decide what's best.
I would be buying this GoPro for still shots only to capture GPS. I would mount it to the hot shoe of a mirrorless or DSLR camera. Do you think the battery would last substantially longer just taking still photos? I just want the GPS info for the most part. Thank you very much in advance. If I can do this, would the battery last longer by not taking video?
I ordered one and will try to make it work as soon as I get it (Tuesday). I wonder if there is a device that would allow me to remote control both cameras to fire at the same time?
That can happen when restricting the shutter speed to 2x the frame-rate. The footage will look better, but you might need to add an ND filter to dim the light in bright sun conditions: bhpho.to/35A5ckH
Question here . Very new to this. Can I edit and upload using the GoPro App on my iPhone and upload share on Facebook /UA-cam ? Or do I need a separate laptop or desktop camera ? I use my iPhone with iMovie app. Thabks
@@forestchaput The problem with the iphone, imovie video editing upload is that the storage space runs out fast. Just 3 videos of 23 mins each and it says i don't have storage space. I do have icloud with 250gb space but doesn't help. I thought if I use real camera like gopro8 and upload, I won't have storage space issue? I don't want to keep deleting videos just to be able to record/upload another one.Thanks
One more question/observation: Did you notice that after you set the camera on 4K/60 in the pro video settings... you briefly switched over to show super view and it downgraded you to 30fps... and didn’t change back to 60 after you switched back to wide? Weird. My question is - I can’t seem to be able to turn on Boost (maximum stabilization) in 4K/60... Is that max stabilization only available in 4K/30? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
Here's what I found in the manual: "Heads Up: HyperSmooth is unavailable when recording 4K60 video with the Linear digital lens. It will use standard video stabilization in its place." It looks like the linear mode is the problem, not the 4K60fps.
redmrc_vidz I’m just bummed that you can’t use Boost (better stabilization than hypersmooth) in 4K Linear 60fps. But I guess they’re all just a digital in camera crops/anti-distortion algorithms once you get tighter than superview... it would just be nice to have the linear 4K 60fps Boost SOOC.
Would those photo settings work well in a room where im using insignia light strips around the ceiling? i would be taking shots in the room when its dark outside with the lights on, and also during the day.
if you really want to master the go pro you should realize what are its limits, i thought this camera will finally help me to replace my dslr camera, but is not. it has pros and cons
hello I have a question is it normal to see a delay while you view the live feed from a hero 8 on the go pro app and by that I mean you turn the camera suddenly but you view the turn on the app after 2 or 3 seconds and is there a fix for it ?
I dipped my toe into the GoPro world with my 1st hero 8 black, terrific camera other than it doesn't do the 1 biggest reason I went and bought it, 4k 60fps...in linear, they pulled a fast one. Hope it was worth the 1 sale GoPro, instead of a customer for life if there's not a firmware update giving the hero 8 black the specifications it's supposed to have had according to the literature. Sad 😢, not cool.
Found it interesting that your video aims for professional results meaning post editing capabilities and yet you are explaining what EV stands for. Anyone not knowing what EV means is going to have NO idea how to edit raw images or footage in the first place lol.
You prefer to have a longer exposure time over increased ISO, really? A noisy image is far more useful than a blurred image. There's only one thing you can do with a blurred image, bin it.
Completely agree! Just rewatched the video and you are right, we want a higher ISO rather than a slower shutter speed! If you watch our video on sharp photos we say just that! You are right!!
14:20 "Here's the set and forget it, just straight upload settings. ... We can fix that later." Umm, no you can't. You can't fix it later if you're intending to simply upload it plain. Also, it's wide. No.
dont use this cam in low light it doesnt work u can barly see with 6400 iso an 1/24 shutter and u must buy a power brick atleast 10,000mah this will keep it going and you wont need to swap a battery every hour and this camera gets hella hot for some reason it also freeezes at random yes i formatted the sd card this did nothing the sd card has 90mb writes soo idk was only recording at 2.7k low bitrate and it locked up at 38 mins but it saved the video atleast witch was 2 hours long but i had to battery pull it witch is hard with the media mod on u have to undo it out of the mount and pry it off to do that
Set it and forget it

With timelapse mode: Why not make 3 or 4 settings with the only difference of the interval? That would be much quicker then adjust it with going through the menue.

Great video, i got my hero 8 coming for Christmas, so will re-visit these settings then 👌
👌👍
It switched to 4K/30 because you can’t have super zoom with 4K/60. When you was showing that it switched.
As a still photographer my knowledge translates to fairly well to video, at least it is a good head start. Your instruction is very good and easy to follow. I found myself craving some B roll with your video😃. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thank you very much!

Great job man! Little fast but that is a good style gets you on your toes.Many thanks.
Glad you like it!
Great vid. Question: In your simpler ‘set it / forget it’ setup, why not set the ISO max much lower (as you did in the pro settings suggestion)? Are you assuming an amateur photographer would have issues with holding steady - so it’s better to have a faster shutter speed - or do you trust the higher ISO more for JPEGs?
Great question. I'm assuming that in most cases a professional will have some support (tripod, etc) that will enable use of a slower shutter speed. Or, that they will just manually raise that value as the light allows for it.
Question for an unusual application. Our GoPro Hero8 is BackBone modified. Lens gone. We use it on an infinity-corrected microscope. The data are to be processed numerically (Fourier transforms etc.) not really that interested in the image itself. We want fast. We want low light levels. Probably not important whether we have 1080p or 4K. Processing in image J or VLC preferred, but we can learn. We think it will make a nifty microscopy camera for the price. Suggestions for best optimization?
That’s awesome! Assuming you want the maximum SNR, I would go with a slow shutter speed for maximum light gathering and the lowest ISO to maximize the SNR.
I have a Hero 3 that's been dead for years. I'm taking advantage of GoPro's Trade Up offer and saving $100 on the new camera. Great deal: I get rid of a boat anchor and save big bucks at the same time! Thanks for this excellent vid.

Question here . Very new to this. Can I edit and upload using the GoPro App on my iPhone and upload share on Facebook /UA-cam ? Or do I need a separate laptop or desktop camera ? I use my iPhone with iMovie app. Thabks
iMovie works perfectly. A phone can do it all. My other channel (fofoastro) is all shot on GoPro and edited/posted on iPhone.
@@forestchaput The problem with the iphone, imovie video editing upload is that the storage space runs out fast. Just 3 videos of 23 mins each and it says i don't have storage space. I do have icloud with 250gb space but doesn't help. I thought if I use real camera like gopro8 and upload, I won't have storage space issue? I don't want to keep deleting videos just to be able to record/upload another one.Thanks
One more question/observation: Did you notice that after you set the camera on 4K/60 in the pro video settings... you briefly switched over to show super view and it downgraded you to 30fps... and didn’t change back to 60 after you switched back to wide? Weird. My question is - I can’t seem to be able to turn on Boost (maximum stabilization) in 4K/60... Is that max stabilization only available in 4K/30? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
Here's what I found in the manual: "Heads Up: HyperSmooth is unavailable when recording 4K60 video with the Linear digital lens. It will use standard video stabilization in its place." It looks like the linear mode is the problem, not the 4K60fps.
@@forestchaput use the app..upgrade the firmware to v1.50. 4K60 linear hypersmooth added
@@redenmrc Nice! That's good to know 👍
redmrc_vidz I’m just bummed that you can’t use Boost (better stabilization than hypersmooth) in 4K Linear 60fps. But I guess they’re all just a digital in camera crops/anti-distortion algorithms once you get tighter than superview... it would just be nice to have the linear 4K 60fps Boost SOOC.
Why the wide settings automatic out if i change the output ing raw.. not like what you did
Be sure your firmware is updated on the GoPro
Would those photo settings work well in a room where im using insignia light strips around the ceiling? i would be taking shots in the room when its dark outside with the lights on, and also during the day.
Get good lighting
@@insanity6379 definitely upgraded my lighting thanks
I mean: if I rotate my camera go pro 8 black,what I film is inverted, and cannot find the solution...
Hmmm. I don't think there is a solution in the camera. You would need to use whatever editor you are using to fix that.
Hi Which programme/software do you use for editing video on Hero 8 please?
I use iMovie combined with Adobe Premiere Pro.
I cannot lock my exposition when rotating my camera...
Not sure what you mean? The exposure will always adjust automatically but you can place restrictions on that adjustment in the ProTune settings.
Can u pls tel the perfect setting for 1080p60fps.
Same as 4K, just 1080 instead.
if you really want to master the go pro you should realize what are its limits, i thought this camera will finally help me to replace my dslr camera, but is not. it has pros and cons
Absolutely! The GoPro cannot be a DSLR or Mirrorless replacement but it does make a great camera for certain situations.
hello I have a question is it normal to see a delay while you view the live feed from a hero 8 on the go pro app and by that I mean you turn the camera suddenly but you view the turn on the app after 2 or 3 seconds and is there a fix for it ?
Totally normal unfortunately. No way to fix it at this point. I usually just use the app for settings and not for direct monitoring of the footage.
I figured that it might be but I wanted to ask, thankyou for the quick response and thankyou for creating the video awesome content.
Any pointers to fix the battery drain issue ?
What software or mobile phone app you recommend for GoPro RAW edit
I would recommend Lightroom!
*thanks... GoPro hero 8 great! But voice commands poor .... It's useless...*
I agree! I turn that off almost all the time. It's far too unreliable.
I didn't see the protune setting in the Time-Lapse section on my go pro?
Weird. Are you sure you are looking at the traditional time lapse and not the Time Warp mode?
Reset factory settings
firmware upgrade to do 4k 60 linear
Yep!
Thank u for good tips 👍👍
You’re welcome!
I dipped my toe into the GoPro world with my 1st hero 8 black, terrific camera other than it doesn't do the 1 biggest reason I went and bought it, 4k 60fps...in linear, they pulled a fast one. Hope it was worth the 1 sale GoPro, instead of a customer for life if there's not a firmware update giving the hero 8 black the specifications it's supposed to have had according to the literature. Sad 😢, not cool.
Sorry to hear that!
Again, I am surprised! Why buy a action cam to take photos???
What editing program can I use?
I usually just use iMovie on iOS. Also, the GoPro app is starting to get more editing features too.
All this mentioning of editing program. Obviously something else other than the app ???
Yep. Really anything other than the app. Luma fusion is awesome. Premiere is awesome.
Rocky Mountain School of Photography not sure if my Timmy dink laptop will do those but on my phone I have iMovie
iMovie is great too!
I think you said (9:30) In general you'll be shooting SLOW-MO with a GoPro. Wha?
You're saying most people want to shoot in Slow Motion?
Yeah! Because you can run it normal too! It just gives you the option of running in slow motion for slowing down the cool stuff you do!
does anyone elses go pro look really bad indoors and up close? taking photos and vidoes of myself vlog style just seems to look really bad?
Indoors in low light situations it will struggle. I recommend using a big window for light or using a lamp with some diffusion.
I just wish you said "set it and forget it and upload on UA-cam". 😂😂
Hahaha. But the goal is to actually understand what everything does!
Found it interesting that your video aims for professional results meaning post editing capabilities and yet you are explaining what EV stands for. Anyone not knowing what EV means is going to have NO idea how to edit raw images or footage in the first place lol.
You prefer to have a longer exposure time over increased ISO, really? A noisy image is far more useful than a blurred image. There's only one thing you can do with a blurred image, bin it.
Completely agree! Just rewatched the video and you are right, we want a higher ISO rather than a slower shutter speed! If you watch our video on sharp photos we say just that! You are right!!
But you uploaded to 1080?
Yep. We shoot all of our tutorials in 1080. Makes the editing / uploading process faster and there’s not much reason for the added resolution.
@@forestchaput Im pretty sure over 90% of the people would watch it in 1080p anyways.
Babcock Pond
Max ISO 6400?
Yep!
@@forestchaputwon't it be too grainy?
👏👏👏🇧🇷
14:20 "Here's the set and forget it, just straight upload settings. ... We can fix that later."
Umm, no you can't. You can't fix it later if you're intending to simply upload it plain. Also, it's wide. No.
Ummm. Yes you can.
ok, lets talk about the 28 dislikes
Hahaha. Thanks 😀
dont use this cam in low light it doesnt work u can barly see with 6400 iso an 1/24 shutter and u must buy a power brick atleast 10,000mah this will keep it going and you wont need to swap a battery every hour and this camera gets hella hot for some reason it also freeezes at random yes i formatted the sd card this did nothing the sd card has 90mb writes soo idk was only recording at 2.7k low bitrate and it locked up at 38 mins but it saved the video atleast witch was 2 hours long but i had to battery pull it witch is hard with the media mod on u have to undo it out of the mount and pry it off to do that
Thank you. Your video really helped me figure out how to adjust my settings exactly how I want them. Thank you very much
Glad I could help!
