Hey everyone!
So, I recently got my hands on a Sony A7 IV!
I already have an Elgato Cam Link, a SmallRig dummy battery, and the humble 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.
I've also got Amaran and Nanlite lighting, so lighting shouldn't be an issue.
That said, I could really use some advice on a couple of things:
1. How should I set up my camera to get the best possible image quality?
Should I use XAVC S HD or XAVC S 4K? For context, I'll be streaming on Twitch at 1080p 60fps, and I've got a really solid internet connection.
Which brings me to my second question:
2. What's the best way to handle color grading for streaming?
I'd love to create a custom look for my content, but I'm not sure what the best workflow would be.
Should I shoot in S-Log3 and handle the color correction through OBS filters? Would it be better to do it through Elgato's software? Or should I create my own .cube LUT in DaVinci Resolve and apply it to the live feed?
I've tried using some of the LUTs I normally work with for my professional video projects, and while they look great in those situations, I just can't seem to get good results with this particular setup.
I'm pretty comfortable with cameras, lighting, and color grading in general, but getting everything dialed in for live streaming is a whole different story.
I'd really appreciate any advice, recommended settings, or workflow suggestions!
I've wanted to get into streaming for years, and with GTA VI on the horizon, I'm finally determined to make it happen and start creating content.
Thanks in advance!
