I Filmed 40+ Hours on S26 Ultra:

BEST Video Settings (Pro Video Mode Tutorial)

video    Epic Tutorials for Mobile Filmmaking    19 March 2026

 

After filming over 40+ hours of test footage on the Samsung S26 Ultra,

I’ve finally cracked the best video settings for Pro Video Mode

to achieve a true cinematic image.

 

From APV and Samsung Log to shutter priority

—and one surprising resolution choice that changes everything—

this isn’t just another settings guide.

 

Some of the biggest improvements come from settings most people overlook,

and in a few cases…

doing the exact opposite of what you’d expect.

 

If your footage still looks like it was shot on a smartphone,

this is what you’re missing.

 

🎬 In this video you’ll learn:

✅ The best S26 Ultra video settings for cinematic footage

✅ How to properly use Samsung Log for maximum image quality

✅ What the new APV codec actually does (HQ vs LQ explained)

✅ Hidden settings that can instantly improve your image

✅ The two features you should avoid completely

✅ How to get natural cinematic motion blur on a smartphone

DaVinci Resolve 20 just quietly dropped

one of the most important updates for smartphone filmmakers

— official Color Space Transform support for Samsung Log,

introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra.

 

While the NAB 2025 keynote focused on AI features like Magic Mask,

 

Voice Isolation, Depth Map, and even an AI Music Editor,

the real hidden gem was buried in just 10 seconds of that 3-hour presentation:

full native support for Samsung Log in DaVinci Resolve’s color management engine.

 

And that changes everything!
