I wish you could also show the camera settings especially white balance and exposure in details, that what most of youtube videos lack when talking about film color grading
oooo so sorry I missed that! Generally on my FX30 I sit my exposure around +0.7 to +1.0 (making sure not to overexpose my highlights) for white balance generally its set to 5200k unless the lighting is super tungsten then I will manually dial it in by eye.
@@Sky.H265 if u didn’t already know, the metering is probably the least reliable thing to look. It just a general scope but yes it can help with highlights. Its more reliable to look at your waveform (slightly to the right) or using zebras
yeah honestly works well for me! I do agree its not always the most technically accurate but that plus some eyeballing seems to get me there quickly! Its all about using the tools in a way that works best for you really!
@@Sky.H265 oh for sure, I still look at it 😂 it’s just if something small is super bright in the image it can throw it off and make u under expose something u want to focus on. So as long as u are aware. Been trying out Cineprint35 on my trip to Paris and Switzerland and have been loving it! Good stuff
@@juliuschurafilms have been watching so many youtube videos on how to properly set the zebra, all are different, yet confusing and did not work for me unfortunately, I am starting to think that this is just a secret not everyone is willing to share with, especially the white balance, I am following bunch of videographers in my country, they shoot juicy videos for bloggers, and that’s what I am aiming at, but no success yet)))
I would say grab the 35 as it has a 16mm version included. The main differences from what I can see are more accurate results on 35 (due to all the super cool testing) and the option for eithier a 35mm or 16mm emulation. Whereas the old cineprint16 only had 16mm options
nice video, sky! i have a question... i am user of cineprint16, the new version can work whit hlg3 whit "other cameras folder"? i have a 8 bits camera, so slog3 its so much hard for my camera
Thanks! Just had a quick squiz you should just be able to use the same colour space transform with the hlg footage you would in Cineprint16 in this new version :)
I have a question regarding choosing what camera type when about to import the files. Sorry I'm new to colour grading and it might be silly, but how do I know what camera file to choose from when using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 DLog-M
Hey! glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry it took me a second to reply had to do some testing! If your using DLog-m and not DLog it would be best to use the including Rec709 version of cineprint 35 and then tweak your contrast as part of the grade. Its a bit of a weird format to work with so hopefully you can get there with a bit of fiddling! Keep at it took me a while to get my head around the whole colour grading space ahah
@Sky.H265 Thanknyou, yes, I will try the rec709 and then fiddle to see what works best. I got the osmo pocket 3 as a gift and now with research find out the log format is more weird than others like the Sony, makes me want to get a new camera to make it work more easily. I think I've found the key to making stories pop on RUclips, and that's the colour! It really helps get the viewer into the moment and feel of the story. When I take my camper out travelling, I can't wait to use colourgrading to show my experiences more film like. Thanks again for your help! Very much appreciated.
Thank you for the good explanation. I am a beginner using a Panasonic camera. When I purchase CinePrint35 and load Powergrade in DaVinci Resolve, I see complex nodes, but I have a question. I modified all nodes assuming it is a Panasonic v-log video. How do I get the results shown on the website? Or is it possible for a beginner like me to get decent results by just adjusting a few general things, such as exposure? First, I will subscribe with a grateful heart and visit often to learn.
100% does matter yeah, as you won’t be getting as much information you most likely will end up with some artifices or banding in the imagine. You would also need to use the other cameras version and change the CST to the correct settings.
The cineprint 35 actually includes a cst power grade. You simply select that one and then change your input gamma to slog2 and input color space as s-gamut. I’m using slog 2 as well and was instructed by Tom bolles himself to use it this way via email.
Yup it works in free version only thing that you’d need to turn off is the grain node cause it throws a big watermark in it. Other than that you’re good.
Yeah but would need to be a iPhone 15 pro or pro max as you need to be able to shoot in a log format. Otherwise when you Apply the colour grade it sort of ruins the image
I do like to dial in my settings manually, but it isn’t necessary with iPhones most of the time as they do a pretty good job of exposing correctly. In cineprint35 there are specific power grades for iPhone so just make sure to use those too ☺️
hanks to you, I bought it and it works well.. However, I am still a beginner, so I will slowly learn how to change and influence it by modifying the basics such as exposure, white balance, etc. one by one. You are awesome and share a lot of knowledge. Thank you. (Towards 10,000 subscribers^^)
Actually editing this on a M2 Pro MacBook ☺️ I have done some editing on my pc too (which I have a full video on the build) but just prefer Mac as I can shoot H265 files with no issue!
@@Sky.H265 can i afk you a question ? why do use H265 and not H264 ? what is the diference between these two ? cause i also using macbook and what do you setting Color Management in Davinci for Cineprint35 ? thank you so much
@@thai.188 H.265 has wayyyy more info and also as far as I’m aware H.264 isn’t a format you can record 10bit log footage in. I find H265 to be a great balance between file size and quality which for RUclips works perfectly. Can’t remember the colour management off the top of my head but if you get cineprint35 it has the correct settings in the instructions!
@@Sky.H265 thank you. By the way, can I ask you one more question? I am planning to upgrade my macbook, and intend to buy a Macbook M2 pro like you, I wonder if it will be okay to use Davinci? Because my current macbook is not smooth when using Davinci, it's really annoying to add a lot of FX and effects.
@@thai.188 yeah it’s been great!!! The m series chips from Apple are something else honestly. The only time I have run up against it is with like 20+ layer vfx stuff but I rarely go that crazy and you can always do some renders in place
"I used to think that just sliding the colour temperature to yellow made my photos look good."
OUCH, I have been called out 😂😭
Ahhahaha sorry 🤣🤣
i want to get into color grading so bad but i'm intimidated! you inspire me so much!
Honestly I was too! Took me a long time to get here so don’t stress it!! ☺️

Of course gotta sneak it in now its up on the wall!
new supporter here you make everything easy!
Glad I could help!!! Lemme know if there is anything else about my filmmaking you want to know ☺️
Room lighting setup breakdown, please next video.
Ooooo I never thought about that! Its changed a little since but can definitely make a video about it 😍
what differences do you see between 16 and 35? I f you didn't have either which one would you go to? worth it to own both? thanks, awesome video!

Hello what camera do you used and what lens?
Actually have a video all about my gear coming out next! But in the meantime it’s a Sony FX30 with a sigma 18-50 lens 😊

You should be able to get pretty close results so long as you’re shooting with the correct camera settings!
@@Sky.H265 thank you
No worries!
@@Sky.H265 Let's try it. thank you
thank you
your so welcome!!
What happens if I shot in a sLog-2? does it matter as this only seems to be converting sLog-3 footage?
100% does matter yeah, as you won’t be getting as much information you most likely will end up with some artifices or banding in the imagine. You would also need to use the other cameras version and change the CST to the correct settings.

@@Sky.H265 Makes sense with adjusting the CST to the correct settings, thank you! :)
@@rsjdrums7183 amazing, thank you!
@@whynot_max no sweat! best of luck :)
HOW I WISH I CAN AFFORD THE CINEPRINT... THE PRICE DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE US WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF EUROPE... IM IN AFRICA AND I CANT AFFORD THIS 😩
Yeah it isn’t the cheapest but it is really worth saving up for! Thankfully there are some other good free film emulation options out there :)
Please can you make a video about ANALOGICAFILMe film emulation?
Not sure what that is sorry!
@@Sky.H265 It's a 16 millimeters film emulation from analogicalab, impressive results with it
Mmmm maybe in the future I will make a video on it, pretty happy with my workflow atm so not looking to change it sorry!
Canon doesn't look good with cineprint35. Can you please try grading with clog 3.
Unfortunately I only own a Sony camera sorry! Dont see why it wouldnt look good tho?
Does it also work with the free version of Davinci resolve?
I’m pretty sure everything should! The only thing that may not work would be the grain nodes.
Yup it works in free version only thing that you’d need to turn off is the grain node cause it throws a big watermark in it. Other than that you’re good.
Thank you🙏
where can i get this powergrade?
Hey this link should hopefully work! www.tombolles.net/cineprint35
I don’t make any money of this fyi, just really love this as a filmmaking tool
Can u do this with iPhone camera?
Yeah but would need to be a iPhone 15 pro or pro max as you need to be able to shoot in a log format.
Otherwise when you Apply the colour grade it sort of ruins the image
@@Sky.H265 yes i do have the 15 pro max. And do you need to use an app like Moment Pro Camera to manually adjust all the sertings?
I do like to dial in my settings manually, but it isn’t necessary with iPhones most of the time as they do a pretty good job of exposing correctly.
In cineprint35 there are specific power grades for iPhone so just make sure to use those too ☺️
whats the name of this mic? thxxx
It’s the RODE Podmic USB, honestly great for at desk talking style stuff!

Thanks!!! And yes all gotta start somewhere hehe but glad to see you trying things out!!
You need Studio version to use any film emulations 😭😭 fyi
Only if you want to use grain, all the rest of the stuff should work in the free version
@@Sky.H265 thanks! Now trying to find a good free grain overlay

how do you exposure on camera ? Normally I measure at +1.3 to +2, but when i drop the clip into davinci, and add cineprint35 it gets very bright 🥲
You’re gonna have to adjust your exposure node once it’s dropped it. but yes that’s should be proper exposure.
I normally try to hit +0.7 to +1 whilst also making sure not to clip my highlights
