I subscribed after watching this video. Please more of this Film Convert color grading videos. Your explanation skills is on point it was easy to understand.
Thank you so much Emmanuel! I really appreciate it! I actually posted another color grading tutorial, recreating a few looks from the movie The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, using Film Convert! Did you watch it?😎
@@alexcormier97 you're welcome. Yes I just finished watching it and I love it
@@emmanuelOfilms Cool! Let me know if you have any question.. If you think Film Convert is the right choice for you, I have a link, which will give you a discount on your purchase!😎
@@alexcormier97 my question is that maybe you should also make a video of your postproduction setup. What monitor one should buy that's affordable and for FilmConvert I will let you know when I’m ready for it. Right now I am busy learning the tools
@@emmanuelOfilms Super good idea! Thanks a lot! I'll work on a color grading setup video!🙌
Yes dude that was awesome! Thanks for sharing so much information so helpful!
Thanks a lot Sasha! I really appreciate it🙌
What a great workflow! Looks so simple to get a beautiful grade
Thanks man! Really appreciate it!🙌
Really nice work!👏
Thank you very much! 😀
Great video! Thanks for your explanation. And for using my comment ;)
hahaha! Anytime my friend😂 Thanks a lot🙌
Great tutorial. What settings did you use in the camera raw tab?
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
I didn't change anything in the raw tab, since my WB/ISO was set in camera, as I wanted!👍
I may have used Highlight Recovery on a few clips, but I shot this almost a year ago, so I don't remember anymore😅
Awesome work buddy ❤❤❤❤
Thanks a lot 🙌
This was great man…simple and beautiful images
Thanks a lot for the compliment, Matthew! I really appreciate it! 😀
Cool, thank you!
Thank you🙌
really nice vid :). Since "everyone" is switching to DaVinci, you could make some king of "crash course" for those whou want to switch completely. :)
Hey Martin! I'm always looking for new video ideas! That's a great one! Thanks a lot for the recommendation!🙌
Love to see how you grade your drone footage with Film convert buddy
If you check out my video called The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - Color Grading tutorial, you'll see how I grade my drone footage👍
Great review- I love using FilmConvert (and it deserves more 'love' on RUclips- IMHO just as good as Dehancer at a fraction of the price!) I usually leave FilmConvert at the end of my node tree- since it is adding grain I figured you want the grain to be added after any other effect/halation/glow... What do you think?
Hey there, thanks a lot! If you're only using Film Convert for the grain, then I totally agree with you! Place it at the end! But of you're grading using their film stock, I would put it at the beginning of my node tree!👍
Forgive the noob question, but every RUclipsr jumps right into the edit when demoing FilmConvert. When it comes to camera settings, if you plan on using FilmConvert should you always shoot Log or does it work well with other PPs, too?
Hey Matthew!
Thanks a lot for reaching out!
What camera do you shoot on? I can certainly help you figure out if your camera picture profile is included in the pack!🤘 Film Convert is primarily made for log, but there are a few options out there for standard PP!😎
I discover your channel, really helpful thx! :) I've a G9, what about using "natural" profile and grading after with FCN? I saw VLOG was really bad in lowlight situation and 8bit footages. Or maybe using Cine D is a good compromise? Thx Alex ! +1 sub
Hey there, sorry for the late reply.. For the G9, you have multiple camera profiles available to make sure you properly convert your footage: Standard, Natural, Vivid, Scenary, Portrait, Cinelike D and Cinelike V .. But I'm not the best guy to give you advice about your camera settings, as I've never shot on Panasonic.. But if you're shooting in one of the camera profiles that I listed below, you'll be able to grade the same way I do! :)
Best ufc Champ ever 👍
Thank you so much!
thanks to you🙌
Dude, why do you not have 100K subscribers?
haha, thanks a lot for the support! That's the goal! Still new to this whole RUclips thing, but I want to start posting more often!🤘😎
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much🙌
I also use the BMPCC 6k, but I shoot ProRes most of the time. When I apply the Film Convert plugin all the highlights blow up... I use the right camera profile, of course. Is this something normal or what? Should I just use the plugin in RAW footage? I also have to say that the original footage, from the camera, is exposed right! You can see the sky and clouds and everything, but after the plugin... almost all white. Hopefully someone knows what is going on. Thanks!
Hey there,
I almost never shoot ProRes, so I would have to test it out! However, I used Film Convert on my Sony footage which is also ETTR, and I had to bring down the exposure by almost 2 stops in post to get the image where I wanted!👍
@@alexcormier97 Thanks for the reply! I will do some tests when I get the change and see if it makes a difference in RAW or not. Thanks again!
Thank you for the video! I would like to ask you two questions: Can you also use Film Convert on the fuji eterna profil or do need to use flog? Is 8 bit good enough to apply Film Convert?
Thanks a lot Daniel! I'm not sure I understand your first question, as I am not a Fujifilm shooter? If I understand correctly you want to know if you can use the Fuji Eterna Film Stock if you're not shooting in F-Log?
For your second question, I would really recommend Film Convert to 8-bit video shooter because you can easily get the film look without using qualifiers! As a matter of fact, I purchased Film Convert when I was primarily shooting on the Sony a7iii which is 8-bit, and it has significantly improved my grades!👍
@@alexcormier97 Hi Alex, Thank you for your answer! Eterna is profil in Fuji Cameras that you can chose instead of flog. I tested the trial version of FCN in the meantime and it works fine with this profile. I like the results so far. It looks more organic and less digital (I guess this what it is for ;) ).
@@danielarntz9362 That's awesome! Glad to hear that👌
Love the video. Good job.
😊How’d you get them to sponsor you with your number of subs? I don’t mean that as a critique… I’m impressed!
Hey René!
Thanks a lot for asking.. I ask myself the same question! I guess the simple answer is that I really believe in their product, and they saw it right away! For them, it's not about the subscriber count, it's more the value you can bring to their/your audience.
I guess the one tip I'd give is "give before you ask.." I created content for free for months before reaching out to see if they would be interested in sponsoring this video!👍
@@alexcormier97 great insight. Keep up the amazing work.
@@rene.rodriguez Thanks René!🙌
So in using filmconvert nitrate we don’t need to have a color space transform anymore? I have nítrate but seen different ways of doing it and gets confusing
Also, on the 4th node could we slap on a stylistic LUT without jacking the colors too much?
Technically, it's similar to CST, since you are telling the plugin which camera you used, so it can properly convert the footage to the film stock you chose. But to answer your question, no, you don't need a color space transform node.
And yes, you can add a stylistic node after..
The Film Convert plugin should go upstream, and the look adjustments should come afterwards. If I were you, I wouldn't add a creative LUT after FilmConvert, I would instead add a serial node, and use my primaries to get the look I want, to make sure your image doesn't break!
what profile choose for action camera????
which action camera do you have?
@@alexcormier97insta 360 Ace pro
It’s looks so simple 😅
That's exactly what I love about Film Convert.. They make it easy to grade beautiful images, in only a few clicks!👌

So, basically, BS grading.
Just trying to help other beginners like me.. As I clearly stated at the beginning of my video, I'm not a professional!👍
Where is your tutorial my boy? Oh wait you don’t have any 👏🏽
@@MonstroInLA I don’t need to bc I work in the real world.
