Hi Danny! Well observed haha. That's actually just a stylistic choice. I've had difficulties for a long time balancing the right amount grain. Looking back at my videos from 2 years ago, I always feel like the grain is just way to strong. Nowadays I've spent more time studying the grain settings in Dehancer and now use it in a more subtle way to strike a better balance. But overall it is now leaning more towards a "clean look" with only subtle grain. When it comes to colour grading and effects, I barely notice any differences between the A7III and A7IV. 10-bit barely changed a thing for me. What's been the most impactful is actually just a design feature - the flip out screen hahah.

2025-11-11 05:23:35 +0000 UTCThanks for this awesome straightforward tutorial! Just wondering: since you made your switch to the Sony A7IV, I've noticed less of your video's containing film grain, and seeming more 'high-res'. Is this a stylistic choice or we're there (8-bit/any) limitations with the a7III that made you edit differently?

2025-10-04 23:43:50 +0000 UTCOhhh Ian... 15hrs is good hahah :,D Yes, the render times completely explode when using Dehancer, however there are a couple tricks I use to speed it up. Basically, what I've learned is, your PC needs an insane amount of power to work out the compression of your videos when exporting. So therefore when adding a lot of effects to your video and then directly compressing the timeline into a highly compressed codec such as H.264 (which I use for YouTube) the PC will need to do veeery heavy lifting, hence the long render times. So the solution is to first export a less compressed version of your timeline which you then re-export into the more compressed version. What I do is first export the video without Dehancer as Apple Prores 422, which is uncompressed 8-bit video and then import that file into Premiere again and put the Dehancer effects on top of the Prores 422 file. Then I export a Prores 422 file of this timeline. Finally I import this new Prores 422 file into Premiere again and simply make a timeline with it to then re-export it, but this time as H.264 (I just use the YouTube 2160p Preset from Premiere). By doing this the PC is compressing much less each time, which makes the whole process, despite it being three exports, faster than doing one super heavy export :) And concerning PC specs: I sadly don't remember. I know my AMD processor is pretty good, but the Nvidia GPU is a bit old. And my RAM is a bit overkill with 32GB. For reference, I can barely hit play on my timeline when Dehancer is active hahaha :,D

I have a 37minute long video and after adding dehancer to it, the render is 15hrs. Just wondering what your export settings are? And also, what are your pc specs?

The fact of the matter is that Innsbruck isn't a great place for analogue photography haha - in case you don't know, Lamprechter doesn't develop your film, instead they send it to Vienna where a lab called Cyberlab develops and scans it. For me that's in a way a positive, because when I was in Vienna Cyberlab was my go-to lab and so I know that I will still get the same quality through Lamprechter. The price depends on what you order. I only order developing, so only negatives, which costs me around 10€ every time (I think 14€ for B&W), which is of course more expensive than when I walked directly to Cyberlab for which I payed 6,50€. It's usually the scanning that hikes the price and so I scan myself for that reason and because I want the full control over that process. If you want to go extra cheap you could try DM, however their scans are lackluster so I wouldn't really recommend it.

2024-01-23 17:55:43 +0000 UTCServus! Not related to the video, but wanted to drop you a message. Just joined your Patreon. Love your videos—they're so calm and content-filled, and they got me back into film photography. OH- also, love the fact that you're in Tirol too; I enjoy seeing the places you choose to showcase. OK- so, I joined to ask you a question. Where do you develop and scan your film? Is it in Innsbruck? I've been recommended Lamprechter at Mitterweg, but I heard it's around 30/35 euros per film. Do you use their services? I've heard they're good, but as someone just getting back into film, I want to experiment a lot, and with prices like this, I can't make many errors :D Any other places you could recommend? Thanks either way; your videos have already helped me a lot.
