(chill synth music) - What's going on, guys? This is Qazi. Welcome to another epic video. Think of your favorite movie or a TV show, and I almost guarantee you
that they were using a LUT. There are different types of LUTs, not all LUTs are created equal. On my channel, most of the time, I tell you LUTs are bad, but it depends where
you get your LUTs from. Think of "Joker", "John Wick", "Tenant", "Peaky Blinders", all these looks came from a LUT. That is also known as a show LUT. So Jill, for "Joker" said that
she worked with Lawrence Sher who was the cinematographer on "Joker", and then they cooked up a LUT before they even started filming. So then he put in that
custom, 3D LUT into his camera when he was filming it, it helped them with lighting
and all those things. That doesn't mean that once
you slap on a LUT you're done, like you don't need to do anything else. But it is the look DNA. It is the foundation of what
the final look is going to be. Now the purpose of this tutorial is not to do a look recreation. I'm gonna show you how easy
it is to create film looks inside DaVinci Resolve. Before we even jump in, I want to take a moment and tell you two days left to sign

because today you're going to pick up something
that's genuinely going to change the way you work
inside DaVinci Resolve. And it's going to be pretty
simple, but extremely effective. And hopefully there's going to be some light-bulb-going-off
moments that are going to happen here. So there's going to be
three different shots that I'm going to grade. but I'm going to start off with this one. So let's pick our hero frame. Let's park it somewhere over here, okay? So I'm going to park it
somewhere around here. Now, as always, let's
build out our note tree, and then we're going to go attack this. So this is going to be a
pretty straightforward, three note grade. This is what I was talking about. Like, what you're going to
be picking up here is going to be pretty interesting. First note, I'm going to
call this my temp tint. This is my temp tint. Next one is going to be my primaries. Okay, and that is going to be my film LUT. Okay, film print emulation.
So let's park it again. Let's park it somewhere around here, that's fine. So the LUT that we're going to be using, when you have free version
or the paid version of DaVinci Resolve,
when you go under LUTs, you're going to find this
folder called film looks and these come with DaVinci Resolve. Okay? I didn't install these separately. So the one that we're going to
be using is the popular 2383. And I'm going to use the D60, which is the middle version of that LUT. So as soon as I apply it,
if I do before and after, you can already see that
it looks like a film look. So we're almost there, but let's just jazz it up a little bit. I'm going to go in here and I'm going to crank my saturation. I'm just going to go all the way. I'm going to crank it all the way because we start to see a lot
of separation in our image, right? So if I do before and
after, just look at it. So guys, come on, we got here in seconds. Just look at this look. We had, this is a CLOG 2, shot
on C 200 footage in 10 bit. And I just brought it in, dropped in my film LUT,
and then added saturation, and this is where we stand right now. So now I can leave it here and
we can be just ready to go. But in here, I'm going
to do temp and tints. So I'm going to go under my temperature and I'm going to mess
around with it a little bit to see what I want from it. So I'm going to warm it up a little bit, and then I'm going to go under my tint, and I'm going to add
a little bit of green, just try to give it like a
little bit of a film look. So I'm not going to push it
too much, something like that. And if I do before and
after, to be honest with you, it's like, we're not, if
we want to exaggerate it to like really see what we can do, we can, just to like, kind of
push it to make a point. But I like a little bit
of green in my looks, to be honest with you. So you can have it the way you want. But I mean, a lot of the film looks have like a pretty heavy green, so I'm gonna keep mine
somewhere around here. So this is what we had, and
this is where we ended up. But this, to me, looks like
a really nice film look. And if I do before and
after, where we started to where we ended up, and
how fast that happened, and just look at the film contrast that this film print emulation
creates and all that. Now, the interesting part
is I go to this next shot, I just bring the other grade on. And obviously I'm going
to go under my sizing and I'm going to undo that. But I just brought that grade in, right? And we are already looking really good. I mean, this is a film look. So all I have to do here is this, to me, is looking a bit too red. So I'm going to go under my temp and tint and I'm going to cool it off a little bit. Not too much, right? So I'm going to park it
somewhere around here and then I'm going to go into my, I'm going to go under
my tint and I'm going to add a little bit more green. Again, not too much. I'm going to take out more red and I'm going to park it
somewhere around here. I still want the sodium
vapor light to come in. And then I'm going to go in my tint and I'm going to add a bit more green. And again, I'm going to overdo it and then kind of just bring it back to where it looks good to me. And if I go before and after, so this is you know, we made
a little bit of difference. But guys, again, just
look at this soft look that we created, and all we had to do is
just copy that grade. So the point that I'm
trying to make is that once you work like this, you
can copy paste your looks and they will be applicable
majority of the way, and you're just going to
have to make a few changes. I mean, look at how much
it cleaned up everything. Look at what our streetlight looks like, and it has a nice bloom. All of that happened so fast, so easily. So now let's apply the
same look onto this. And let's park it on our hero frame. And I'm going to go under my sizing and I'm going to crank it up a little bit, something like that. And now we applied that look, right? So if I do before and after, again, tell me this is not a look
that you have seen already in a movie? So it has that typical
green that, you know, we see in Hollywood movies. It has the perfect skin tones, and all that stuff
that's going on in here. Now, what I can do is I
can go under my primaries and go all right, let's go, let's ease off on the
saturation a little bit. So I'm like really just pulling
back my saturation, right? And I can go maybe, maybe leave it somewhere around here. Right? And now if I do before and after, I mean, just look at what we're creating and how easily we are
creating these looks. And guys, this is what I
meant by what you're going to pick up from this tutorial, hopefully it's going to be
a Eureka moment for you. And this is how easy it
is to create film looks inside DaVinci Resolve. Let's check out the final
looks in full screen. (chill synth music) Guys, if you enjoyed this tutorial, take that and literally multiply it by 167 because this is how many lessons
I have in my masterclass, and I'm adding new lessons every day. You should definitely become
