Interesting video on sharpness

Came across this today - well worth a look.

I have done a lot of research into style settings and concluded everyone uses different settings. This guy seems to know what he's taking about and has good evidence to back up his views. Will definitely be giving it a try.

I'll be sure to test +1 sharpness on next flight, but wonder if I should change contrast or saturation?

Think I'm going to go +1 / 0 / 0 to start with and experiment after that.

He suggests dulling down the artefacts with noise reduction such as neat image, this does work OK but greatly increases rendering time.
I think sharpness on zero is generally OK and use slight gaussian blur if artefacts are intrusive in some scenes.

Shot today +1 0 0 in D Log - best results so far for me, especially after dialling down the YAW a little for cinematic shots. Roll on summer!

Ok guys, need a little help. My English isn't very good in specific subject like post processing.

Can you explain for me like I'm an idiot what he was saying the fix is.

Set sharpening to +1 in camera right? and do what in post?

He recommends doing any noise reduction in post. He specifically uses Neat Video which is a plug-in for doing noise reduction (and works really well I might add).

Plug-in for premiere or multiple editors? Or is it standalone?

SteelFlyer · Apr 17, 2017

Multiple editors including Premiere, FCP, Sony Vegas etc. I'm not sure if they have a stand alone version.

I followed the common recommendation to reduce sharpening to -1 or -2 in order to reduce in camera over sharpehing that leaves no room in post production. In scenes where is much details I got this compressed like in the video below. This "discovery" how to avoid that really saved my day.

My lord that video looks crystal clear! Sharp as a pin good work!!

Had Mavis the Mavic out at the beach today. Even the in phone footage looks super sharp can't wait to edit

Not sure this is by a Mavic. Bit to sharp and clear. But the sounds are of the water but Mavic does not record sound.
