8 Bit vs 10 Bit Video - Can YOU Notice The Difference!?

Oop, I put the wrong text in the 8 Bit talking head clip! It's No PP in the 3rd talking shot, then the bottom left in the 4 head shot comparison. And hey, thanks again for watching :) Welcome aboard if you're new here!

8-Bit makes his head shinier.

Yeah i admit that i can't see the difference in those comparisons but i still shoot 10 bit on my cameras that can do it because with resolve color management it's actually zero extra effort.

Why comparing 8bit vs 10bit with no post production? The advantage of 10bit is that you have more space for post production.
If we need it or not is another story

im planning to get a7s II as first fullframe video/photography camera
for dirt cheap
so is it worth canceling my order??
i was using a 500d so is it worthy, or buying any APS_c camera??that can do 10bit,
for night racing videos and photos

10 bit looked better. 8 bit i could see noise in the colour roll offs. For editing to work quickly I suggest you use proxy files to edit with and only output 10 bit at the end.

watching this with my girl, on my Oled hdr1000 monitor and we both are unable to see any diferences. My monitor is set to 10bit as we speak.

im colorblind its a really big difference'

10 BIT no PP

Thing is, when you set up color management in resolve, it is zero extra work to shoot 10 bit slog3. Literally zero extra work.

Thank yo this was very helpful.. Great comparison and input

Keep in mind, you're not even capable of displaying the over 1 billion colors of 10bit if you don't have a 10bit display. To put this into perspective, 8bit is almost 16.8 million. It's a huge amount of color, and almost anywhere people are viewing most videos, they're not 1, displayed in 10bit, and 2, if they were, they're probably not being viewed on 10bit screens.

8 bit is enough for most people. 10bit is primarily used in professional design and video for professional output

ofc yes .

GREAT VIDEO THANKS

How many Watt use a 8bit monitor less than a 10bit? Thanks

Most people are watching shit on their phones, just shoot your content

Thanks for this video!

effects suck and are a crutch - concentrate on content

Look great on my 4K TV. (8bit+frc)

I was nr 1000 sub 🤘👍

Most of the time 8bit is plenty if you aren't pushing the colours/exposure too much in editing. However it's that one time you film in 8bit and you see colour banding just because you set your background light a bit dimmer than usual and there's more of a gradient, then you switch to 10bit and keep it there :) (that's what happened to me).

Thank you for your video. I also doubted whether I would record 10 bit S-Log 3 (Sony A7 iv and A6700) but you are right that you can use your time better to learn to edit better and make good videos. I'm out, also continue in 8-bit and no PP. 🙋

in a blind test no one will be able to tell the difference

Thanks for the video really <3

On a 16 inch laptop display with 10 bit, can you notice the difference between 8 bit and 10bit?

Hello! Thanx 4 vdeo. I’m producing only for yt too. But I like shot in s-log in sunny day for having blue sky and information in shadows without noise. I have a Sony a7c and 8 bit is quiet problematic in these scenarios actually. If I’ll buy Sony a7sIII with 10 bit is it will helps me to avoid noise in shadows in Slog?

Excellent. I was looking for this

Top! I absolutely agree. Maybe for professional work, 10 bit is good. Thank you!!

Watching 10 vs 8 bit video on mobile with 8 bit panel 😂😂😂😭😭😭

very good

Me watching this in a 6-bit monitor: 🥹

your shit looks so creamy or crispy whatever the term is

whats this video shot in? it looks fricken amazing? what camera you using? a7 4? my a74 doesnt look as good as this... what am i doing wrong?

You can shoot 10 bit then when you export out, export it as 8bit, this is to prevent color banding when you're doing alot of color manipulation. Is there a difference? Of course! but only if you know what. you are doing.

I think time to upgrade the laptop :)
if you have some money, MacBook air m1 (or m2) is great to edit and not too expensive.

Your energy is so good. I wish I could have a quarter of your on-camera presence.

This is what I needed for my soul, thanks bud😁

Wouldn't you use slog mostly for the added dynamic range and for colour grading?
