this is SICK! its going to convince many people to buy the studio version, myself included haha. are you able to save/make your own presets in the Film look creator? love all the examples you did. it was super helpful to see.
It really is a great effect. Can definitely be one more thing people consider when thinking about upgrading to Studio. As far as I've seen you're not able to save your own presets as of right now, however you could work around that by applying the effect to an adjustment clip, dialing in the look, and then dragging that adjustment clip into your Power Bins. Then, next time you wanna use that specific look, you can just bring that same adjustment clip back out and onto the timeline. Or you can use Power Grades to save the look in the color page. Glad you liked the examples, happy to hear they helped 🙂
This video helped me A LOT!! Thank you. As I student, I sometimes have trouble deciding the 'ideal' film look for my footage. Hope you make video about setting the 'target' film look of each example(footage) next time!
To be honest, I didn't really have specific targets for what I wanted anything to look like in this one. Just kind of messed with settings until I got the clips looking a way I liked 😅
@@georgekamenov_ Understood! And one more thing. It seems this effect has CST function with the "color space override" tab. As the Film look creator is after the Fantom lut, maybe yours is set to rec709 -> rec709. Which one do you think is better? 1) Lut(slog3->rec709) -> Film look Creator(rec709->rec709) 2) Film look Creator(slog3->rec709)
I like using a separate LUT to transform footage. I'm used to using PhantomLUTs for that and I like the look they give me. But using the built in color space override is absolutely also an option. It'll just give you slightly different starting colors and gamma curve but you can get it to the same point look wise fairly easily.
Hello! I have the Phantom LUTS myself. Just a simple question. Hopefully you can answer me. Love your content. When you say you have used the Phantom LUTS to convert to Rec709. Which LUT are you talking about. Its either the ARRI luts or the FILM luts. Arent they already pretty «graded» so you how do you get a clean Rec709 starting point? And then you apply FILM look on top of the graded Phantom LUTs. Please help me understand :) Thanks in advance
So maybe its the ARRI Neutral LUT? I am using the Phantom LUTs for the Pocket 3. I am planning to buy the Sony A6700 soon. And of course I will buy the Phantom LUT pack for the Sony camera. Maybe I get a Rec709 conversion LUT or are you using the ARRI Neutral LUT?
@@IvarNesheim I usually use one of the LUTs in the Arri pack because they're made to emulate the Arri Alexa Rec709 look. With the Neutral LUT being the one closest to that and the rest of them in the Arri pack being slight variations of it. They are slightly graded, but not too much so they're a great starting point for the rest of your grade. The film LUTs are "more" graded so those have a bit of a different intended use.
I think they're different tools for different purposes. Technically, you never actually "needed" to use Phantom LUTs. They're just very helpful. And it's the same with the film look creator. I don't think one makes the other unneeded, it just depends on your workflow. I'll personally continue using Phantom LUTs for what I believe is gonna be a really long time 😅
Hi thanks for the tutorial ! just wondering if you have noticed there's a difference between Mac and windows Davinci that there's this option to select under 'film look' tab for different cinematic simulations on windows davinci but this option is no where to be found on Mac?
@@tigerawwwzhou I don't use Mac but I think that's a feature of the Resolve 19 full release. I don't think it's supposed to be system specific but I might be wrong.
Do you use „film look“ also on your commercial work or just personal? I try to figure out what in particular you mean. Because I guess that this Fimlook creator can not replace a basic grade with a substantial nose tree from the ground up.
As of right now I've only used it to test out what it can do. It was literally introduced into Resolve a few days ago so I haven't had the opportunity to use it on any actual projects. It definitely can't replace a proper node tree, but it can definitely save a lot of time from the process of getting the "film look". Of course, ideally you would want to combine this effect with a proper node tree with other adjustments to get an even better looking image. But I just wanted to showcase that you're able to get a nice result even with very little effort while using this effect. It's definitely not a universal solution for every project though.
@@georgekamenov_ Good idea. I would set it as the last node in the same way I am grading under a certain LUT which I also set in the last node and all adjustments I do in the nodes before.
@@Jaxplode Like I mentioned in the video, in a more normal workflow I'd probably do the same. Just thought it was cool that you can technically do all of the adjustments in that same node and still get a usable result :)
It's only available in the Resolve 19 beta version of Resolve Studio. You can download that from the support page on Blackmagic Designs website. If you're on Resolve 18 it won't be there.
The highlight tool in the film look creator panel does not increase or decrease highlights: it compresses highlights to mimic a filmic response.
Yes, I'm aware, though I should have explained that better. Thanks for dropping a comment about it.
@@georgekamenov_ Thanks for the video, it was informative 👍
This is a great tool, I'm using this a lot now, but I'm using it on the edit page, for those videos that I don't want to spend to much time, grading.
Yeah, I forgot to show you can use it on the edit page too. That is definitely a really cool bonus to it. Just a great new feature all around 🙂
@@georgekamenov_ When I discover that, I almost jump out of my chair, its super handy.
I think the film look creator should be applied BEFORE converting your footage to Rec 709 (In DaVinci Wide Gamut for example)
this is SICK! its going to convince many people to buy the studio version, myself included haha.
are you able to save/make your own presets in the Film look creator?

Great video, thanks. May I ask why you are not using DaVinci Color Managed with a DaVinci Wide Gamut time line?
Glad you liked it! Pretty much because I'm just not used to working with those settings for my projects 😅
@@georgekamenov_ Cullen Kelly and Daren Mostyn have some really informative videos on DaVinci Resolve Color Management. They might be worth a look.
Silly question but I have the studio version of resolve already, so where do I get this film look creator from?
It's only available in the Resolve 19 beta version of Resolve Studio. You can download that from the support page on Blackmagic Designs website. If you're on Resolve 18 it won't be there.
@@georgekamenov_ Thanks for the quick response, I do have studio version but im on 18 sadly, but thanks anyway, appreciate you :)
@@aaphotofilm Just download the new version for free since you already have the studio version! :)
Nice!
Nice!
