iPhone Video Settings for Better Social Uploads (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: If you want your iPhone video to go from something like this to this, here's a couple settings you should probably change. First, go into the camera settings and turn off HDR video. I know this seems backwards, but HDR isn't quite there yet when it comes to uploading to social media. Turning that off can make your footage look a lot more consistent when uploading to multiple different platforms. We'll get there eventually, just not yet. Then turn on lock camera so that your iPhone doesn't randomly switch lenses while you're recording. And while you're there, enable lock white balance so the color doesn't shift in the middle of your shot. Then when you're ready to record, tap and hold on the subject until you see the AE slash AF lock. That'll keep your focus and exposure from constantly changing while you're recording. But honestly, the most important thing for your iPhone is to give it plenty of light. You don't see it, but off camera, there's a giant softbox exposing me right now. The camera sensor in your iPhone is tiny, which means it's very hungry for light. So good lighting will make a much bigger difference than pretty much any camera setting you change.
