Cinematic Color Grading in Davinci Resolve - Free Powergrade

[Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Over the past couple months since I've been posting here on YouTube, I've been getting a ton of requests on how I color grade. And to be honest, nothing I do is original. Everything that I do and have learned is from proc colorists and non-procolorists. And I take bits and pieces of information that I've learned in the past couple years and I utilize it into my workflow. In this video, I'm going to show you exactly what power grades I've used in the past. And if you don't want to spend money, I'm going to show you a power grade that you can use and download for free. And I'm going to walk you step by step on how to do it all within Da Vinci's native tools. Let's get started. Starting off with the first one, Film Vision by Sir was one of the first power grades I ever used. It comes with LUTs and different camera log profiles, and for $60, it's honestly a solid value. The look it gives your footage, it feels very intentional, and you can tell that they put a lot of time into crafting it. The only downside is with all the nodes turned on, it can slow your system down. But if you can handle it, it's a powerful tool that delivers a beautiful stylized image. Fun fact, this is actually where Gauss got a lot of his inspiration for his color style. Number two, Cineyprint 16. Cineyprint 16 by Tom BS is one of the most unique power grades I've used so far. And for $47, it's a solid buy. It nails that 16 mm cine look, especially with its color palette and those rich stylized greens, which is really hard to get sometimes. It's also really easy to use, which I love personally. The only downside is that it can get a little noisy and for me it's not the most versatile. I wouldn't use this for client work, but for personal and creative projects, it delivers a super distinctive look that stands out. Number three, Film Unlimited. Film Unlimited is hands down the best power grade I have ever used and the most versatile. It's priced at just under $100, but honestly, it's worth every dollar. Unlike CinePrint 16, the look isn't over stylized and makes it super versatile. And I've used it on pretty much everything. What really stands out to me is the way it handles blues. There's this perfect blue tint in the shadows that just feels so cinematic and it makes grading feel so effortless.
