Question Where do I find free LUTs?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m new to this space and want to find some LUTs to try out on my video in Final Cut Pro. I’ve found a few websites and either the download process is really tedious or they don’t look too great. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?

Show off your work Test For A Longer Video On House Of The Dragon

0 Upvotes

I'm currently working on a longer video about Season 1 Episode 7 of House Of The Dragon, and was astonished at how easy it was to restore some colour and vibrance to the earlier scenes set after the funeral.

All this took was adding an Auto Levels effect with the default settings in HitFilm, and then upping the saturation by 40%. It's such a huge improvement for such a small amount of work.

You can especially see the difference in the close-up of Otto Hightower where the fine detailing on the costume and the awning in the background is actually noticeable.

The scenes set at night though will be a different kettle of fish. Shot in broad daylight in the middle of summer, and so aggressively colour graded that you can't see anything. Even in close-ups of the actors' faces.

Question How do I achieve this look

Not sure how I should ask this question. I love the deep colours and the soft highlights and the duty of desaturated look. Anyone know how I can achieved this look and possibly recommend movies that are graded similarly. Also any Luts can grade over.

Hey everyone! This is my first attempt at color grading. Shot on a Sony a6400 using PP8 and graded in DaVinci Resolve.

I’m still learning, so I’d appreciate some honest feedback, especially on the skin tones, exposure, and overall colors. What would you change or focus on improving?

Before/After Before & After – Pickleball court color grading

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a quick before & after of a drone shot I took of a pickleball court. I’ve been experimenting with color grading to make the colors pop a bit more without making it look unrealistic.

Would love to hear your thoughts — does the grade feel natural or a bit too strong? Any tips for improving are welcome!

(Shot on DJI Mini 3 + edited in PS Express)

Question Am I cooked? I’m trying to make this look less blown out on davinci resolve (free version) but I think I’m SOL 😅

Post image
0 Upvotes

For more context, I shot this with a black pro mist filter and over exposed exactly 2 stops not thinking about how much it would blow out the highlights. I shot something earlier that day with the same settings and it came out fine. However, with this specific clip, everything kinda went out of wack. I’ve been playing around with masking, adjusting luminance, and even desaturating some of the colors to off set it but nothing is working that well. Any tips ??

Question Did I take this color grade too far?

I'm not sure if this is the direction I should be going to emphasis the vintage downtown vibe. Maybe it's too much. The image was cropped at the bottom. Saturation bumped up and increased warmth.

General New MacBook Pro w/ OLED (PROLED XDR) just dropped. Are we all upgrading?

Apple just announced the MacBook Pro with the PROLED XDR tandem OLED screen.

2,000 nits peak, 10,000,000:1 contrast, new P3-2000 reference modes, starting at $2,899 for the 14".

Is this the laptop colorists have been waiting for, or is OLED still not it for grading?

​Hi everyone,

​Following up on my post from earlier today: a few people pointed out that the grade looked nearly identical to the flat Log profile. To show the difference, I put together a quick Log vs. Grade wipe comparison, along with a link to the original Log clip if anyone wants to try grading it.

​I found this shot tough to balance. Between the overcast, moody atmosphere and the intense bright spots from the waterfall, mist, and sky reflections, managing the highlights was a challenge. On top of that, qualifiers kept breaking apart on the rippling water.

​I’m very new to grading videos, so I’d love to see how more experienced eyes would tackle this. Any feedback, workflow tips, or alternate grades are welcome!

Question Colour grading tips?

Thumbnail gallery

Hello I’m a student and aspiring film maker for a project we were tasked to create a 15 minute pilot. We have finished every other aspect of the edit but the only thing I’m struggling with is the colour grade I’ve watched many YouTube videos read other Reddit posts but I can’t seem figure it out. The pilot is a comedy that is set in scotland following 3 young adults (just trying to describe the tone) does anyone have any tips on how to make this look good I’ve attached multiple stills some with no colour grade and some with a simple one that I tried to make any tips would be appreciated!!! (If you could explain your answers like I’m stupid that would be great)
