When I use my iPhone I turn off the HDR Feature for this reason. To fix the HDR in Final Cut you need to push the exposure super far. with your color grading toos. The way I deal with HDR is this:

pull up your Luma Waveform (Command + 7)

Open your Color Wheels

Bring down your highlights until the brightest parts of your image are just under 100

Bring up your shadows until the darkest parts of your image are above 0

Use the midtones to adjust up or down to what looks natural.

From here then I start tweaking the exposure until I like how it looks.

Enrique Arista I think the ZV-E10 is a great camera to work with. It is a very popular camera right now and I do recommend it for friends when they want to transition out of just using a phone. Rachel Ginis The A7C is also a good choice. I had an A7C for a while and used it as my 2nd camera to my A7SIII. You'll miss the stabilization of the Olympus but the Sony cameras are so much better is a ton of ways.

I'm personally a Sony shooter. What features are you looking for in a camera? What is the most important for you?

Yes I plan to do a smartphone filmmaking course eventually!

Using a green screen is a little different. You'll want to create separation between you and the green screen and make sure that the green is not being reflected onto you.

Thank You! I'll be adding some more content to this course soon.
