I've loved v1 but these updates and improvements in v2 are amazing. Thanks so much for walking us through these additions and for the update email. Gonna go play with v2 now!
Thanks Tom for the highlight clipping, adding node and bringing down the green. Brilliant.
Omg I was legit on the checkout for V1 yesterday but ended up waiting fo today for some reason, what perfect timing. love your work man
Hahaha, thank you!
Great stuff man! Thank for going in depth for the BMPCC6k, it helped me improve and go for the looks that I really want!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
you're a beast! thank you for sharing your process!!
This fuels my obsession with the 16mm film look!
Awesome power Grade, you've improved on something that already seemed perfect! Btw what sort of approach would you take to achieve a Bleach Bypass look with this power grade? I think it would look interesting.
Such a huge fan. Thank you for the update email too it's very generous of you.
Have you got plans for more looks in the pipeline? You've got an amazing eye!
I'm a user of your powergrade and I love it, but I still don't know how to use it completely well,
these videos have been of great help.
THANK YOU! 🤩❤
PS: It would be great if you did some kind of affiliate system to promote your powergrade. We would all win!!
Greetings from Spain.
Hi Tom, because Contrast is an important part of the V2 Cineprint16, with pre and post contrast nodes - do you have the "S curve for contrast" checked or not, in the settings? And do you recommend LumaMix to be at 100 or 0, in the pre and post contrast nodes? Thanks!
great tutorial
make more videos with CinePrint16 V2 please!! do the explaining what each Nods is
Hi Tom! Please tell me: if I want to add some kind of color tone to my video (for example, green), at what stage and in which node would you advise me to do this? Or if I want to add some creative Lut...
Hello Tom, are there specific project setting in color management davinci resolve? Thanks in advance. Great work! ❤
Love to know.a workflow to make this work the same with stills, I can import TIFFS into Resolve, wonder how you would work with the colour transform? Love this new update!!
If you are working in the Davinci YRGB Color managed color science, do you still need to go in and set the CST to your cameras color space/gamma? Or is it fine to set it to the "Use Timeline" setting?
Hello Tom,
Can this work with say an FS5 or A7sii material that is not shot in S-Log for example a picture profile like CINE 2 + S-Gamut3.cine ? Or let's say an A7sIII in s-cinetone instead of S-log3 ?
awesome work man legit everyone needs to see this quick question can you use the print film and cineon together or you have to choose one and if both can be used what would be the look
That's a really interesting question! You could probably mix them together using a parallel node, or put them in a compound node and change the individual key output gain of each. Many possibilities!
what is cineon?
could you tell us how did you set your white balance on those original clips ? it feels like with the WB adjustments it doesn't really matter. It almost feels like you shot raw footage.
Noticed when I used it that I had to spend a lot of time removing magenta & fixing the harsh halation. Not sure why magenta is pushed so much in this grade, most professional colorgrades shy away from magenta. Halation needs a smoother roll off, I just use Juan's or filmbox for halation which looks a lot more realistic (less like chromatic abberation on a cheap lens).
Looks incredible 💥 , any discount for collage students anytime soon ? 😶😶
Hi. Thanks for the video. Could you please explain how the powergrade should be installed into da vinci, as I'm new to this stuff.
🙏 Thanks
Do you need the studio version of DR in order to run the cineprint node?
Hi Tom, I wonder if you could give a quick tutorial on how to adjust the halation, as it's pretty overpowering on the Sony A7III shots I have.
Did you find out how to adjust it I’m also having trouble with it?
@@Ncrosse I opened up the Halation node, and went into the gain, and dragged down the top ratio. Reduces the effect!
Hey Tom, I purchased today and I'm enjoying so far however Is there a way to use the Neon Suppression on the free version of davinci resolve, In all you're comments you mention it's only Denoise and Grain that are required but I'm not able to access the Neon Suppression either. Having some pretty greeeeen footage and would love to take some of those cyans out via the NS node.
Shoot me an email with screenshots and I’ll see if I can help
hope there is a version for fcpx too
Hi. What adjustments do I need to do for zlog ( zcam s6). Thank you
Would you (or someone) recommend a way to actually tamp down the red glow emitting from faces? Everything else about the look I love, but I can't seem to lower the redness without effecting the entire clip and making it appear green. Thanks!
If by glow you mean halation, you have to go inside the halation node and adjust the threshold. There are more details in the user guide pdf. Also if you're using V1, I'd recommend using V2 since I completely reworked the halation node tree and its more accurate.
If you just mean oversaturated red skin tones, first I would check that your CST is correct, then check and adjust broad strokes like white balance, contrast, exposure, saturation. Lastly, once you've dialed in all those things for skin tones and it's still not there, then I'd try the color warper.
hey tom you are the man,
i was wondering in order to apply the powergrade on to prores/raw footage, does one have to convert the footage to rec 709 first and correct before applying the powergrade and setting the cst? im usin a bmpcc6kpro thanks brotha
No, you would apply the powergrade to your ungraded footage and change the CST inputs to match the gamma and gamut your camera records in. For BMPCC6Kpro that would be Blackmagic film Gen 5 gamma and Blackmagic Wide Gamut Gen 4/5 color space
Hi, I’ve got the V1 but didn’t receive the update mail for V2
Hi Tom love your work! Can i check if this will work in the free version on davinci resolve?:)
Yes, it will work in the free version. You just have to disable the Denoise and Grain nodes since those are limited to the studio version. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays/mattes
Hi Tom, just wanna know how do you adjust (increase/decrease) the halation in using the cinpreint16? Thank you
You can open the compound node and change the curve threshold in the +Blur nodes. You can also change blur radius in the blur tab. There are more detailed instructions in the user guide pdf.
any premiere version anytime soon? for us adobe users...
Hey , which cameras where used n these examples?
Im Really liking the greens here.
but im wondering, what kind of look that is?
is this bluish cyan green really characteristic of 16mm film or is it just a creative choice?
does anyone know?
Hey tom! Such a cool grade thank u ! I can't seem to import the file as a dpx. Can u help me with that? thanks!
Hi, I just bought your emulation pack and i do love it but i am having an issue. the image is blocky in darker areas and pixelated (EVEN IN BRIGHTER AREAS). I have tried turning up the denoise setting but have had no improvement. I have the correct cst set up. i am using bmpcc 4k.
Any reason why footage is looking pixelated/blocky
thanks
I've had the same problem
What settings should I plug in using a black magic pocket 4k? For input AND output? Filmed raw footage.
Hi Tom, I'm thinking of buying cineprint16 but I have doubts about how it will work with my camera, I have a canon eos RP and it doesn't record in Log so I was wondering what I should put in CST for it to work correctly?
If you are recording in a standard non-log color profile then you would use Rec.709 as your input gamma and color space
Do you need the paid version of Davinci Resolve for this?
Does color management matter when color grading
Hi Tom can you show us how to export videos
Sorry if this is a dumb question but what's the difference if adjusting both pre and post contrast? Why can't we just adjust one over the other?
They affect the image in different ways because of the order of operations in the node tree
Hello, can you make a tutorial showing how to work on a group mode ? thanks
Yes! I've been planning on doing that
hey Tom, on my Davinci Resolve 18 I don't have Arri Alexa and Arri LogC as output choices. I only have Arri Wide Gamut 3 and 4 and Arri LogC3 and 4, what should I take?
It should be 3. The powergrade was designed in that version of Alexa color science.
4 is the color science developed for the new Alexa 35
Hey Tom whats the playback like after applying the powergrade? I've been using a free 16mm emulation and my M1 Macbook Pro can't get over like 10fps even when using proxies
Hard to give a frame rate number cuz it really depends on the specific specs of your device, but the most graphic intensive nodes are denoise and grain. If both of those are off, it will run very smoothly
@@TomBolles Legend, thanks. Any chance of a discount code? ;)
Hi, dumb question but do I have to have davinci studio in order to tweak the grain node?
Hey, I think you would need the Studio version in general. At least I did. Some of the features only work in that version. Or you'll have an annoying overlay that tells you to use the studio version xD
Denoise and Grain are the two nodes limited to the Studio version. If you disable those nodes while in the free version, the watermark will go away. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays.
@@TomBolles Thanks!
wow! this is what i was looking for! but will this work on davinci 18 when it comes out?
All the nodes are native to resolve so it should work
@@TomBolles NEAT!!!! This definitely inspired me to transition into resolve from years of editing in premiere. Keep crushing it big man!
0:20 which color space do i have to choose (input color space and output gamma) for black magic pocket cinema camera original?
question about the CST? Iwhy isn't the output Rec 709 Gamma 2.4?
Hey Tom, I bought V1 but missed the email window for the free upgrade to V2? Any chance of a discount code? Thanks
Send me an email! It’s on my website
does this work with c-log or only with bm and gh5 footage?
Yes, it will work with C-Log. Working as a colorist, I've used it with Arri footage, RED footage, Blackmagic footage, Panasonic footage, Sony footage, Canon footage, etc
Enabling/disabling the halation node doesn't seem to be doing anything with my pocket 4k footage, any idea why that might be? :(
Does your shot have specular highlights? If there’s nothing bright enough to cause the halation, it won’t appear. If you want to change the threshold, you can go into the compound node and change the curve
Premiere version?
Do you require a full version of davinci resolve to use cine print?
You can use the free version. You just have to disable two nodes that are limited to the full version which are Denoise and Grain. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays.
I use a Panasonic BS1H and I shoot 5.7K ProRes RAW. But of course, I cannot import this directly into Resolve, so then I convert to cDNG and import.
All of this to ask, my question. For the inputs in the CST I change all of my inputs to Panasonic (first step). Should I also change the other every other node referencing ARRI to match my Panasonic? Specifically I noticed that you changed to Panasonic in the CST but left ARRI in the WB node?
Once it is converted to Arri, everything downstream remains in Arri LogC
@@TomBolles maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying? The first step is to choose my camera’s profile in the CST which is Panasonic. So, doesn’t that make everything downstream Panasonic? And if so, do I also choose Panasonic in the nodes referencing Panasonic?
Or am I just doing this wrong? I thought the purpose of choosing the input camera first was to get the most accurate transform from the start?
Something weird is happening with Davinci Resolve 17 Version 17.4.5. I have paid Studio version now. when I add a Node and scroll through Luts in folder. It crashes Davinci Resolve every time. Has this happened to anyone else? It happens every time. Maybe once I was able to add a Node and LUT, but once I want to try a different lut it crashes Davinci Resolve again. The only way to get out of it was to force Quit. And I have an M1 Pro Max this shouldn't happen I'm thinking maybe Resolve hasn't optimized it fully for the M1 yet, Wondering if mine is an isolated issue or has this happened to anyone else? The crashes only happen when Tom Bolles Power grades applied. Not when working withing my own node tree.
Hi, friend! first of all, sorry for my english hah
2 days ago I was finally able to finish saving to buy your beautiful powergrade! However, I'm a bit sad that I can't use all the features since I have davinci free. But still, I'm enjoying it. I have a very simple question, how do you "turn on/off" a node? like for example the "denoise" one, you don't press anything on the screen, I think you use a command on the keyboard. I'm just starting to use Davinci well too hah I send you a virtual hug from Chile!
You can use it in the free version, you just need to disable (Command + D mac, Control + D windows) the Denoise node and Grain node, as those two nodes are limited to the studio version. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays or mattes.
@@TomBollesthanks for everything Tom, you are a god!
When i apply my cineprint v2, my clips are very overexposed/ Which node do i select to tone everything down? There are so many nodes
Have you figure this out? I got black and white on my clips when I apply it.
@@babyandromeda8762 I also get the little black and white bars. Very strange
How did you do it? I still can’t figure it out.
I cant log in your website,is it something wrong with your website?
Does this work well with sony A7iii footage?
Yep. Just use the appropriate S-Log inputs in the CST
Will this be compatible for fujifilm f-log? And using only the free version of davinci resolve :)
Yes, you would use F-Log as your input gamma, and Rec. 2020 as your input color space.
The powergrade works in the free version, you just need to disable the denoise and grain nodes. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays/mattes
Tom do you still own the Panasonic gh5.
I intend to purchase the Panasonic gh5s and Panasonic S5.
And Sony A74 I have a four year plan
Yes I still have my GH5 and use it as my personal hybrid photo/video camera
@@TomBolles Absolutely brilliant
Does this work with the free version of Davinci Resolve?
Yes, you just have to disable two nodes: Denoise and Grain because they are limited to the full version. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays
does this power grade work with the free version of davinci by chance?
Yes, you’ll just have to disable two nodes: Denoise and Grain, because they are limited to the full version. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays
@@TomBolles thank you. I think I should bite the bullet on the paid version anyway
Yeah I do think it’s worth it if you use Resolve a lot. Especially because it’s a one time payment and not an eternal subscription like Adobe haha.
This plugin works with Windows as well?
Yep, it’s a Resolve powergrade (.drx), so it works with Resolve regardless of operating system
I'm not sure why, but it just does not look like yours does, I am not entirely sure what it is. (I think it's the CST) I have no idea what CST settings I should use, there are so many. +There is not input color space labeled for bmpcc 6k.
Would this work with Fujfilm F-log footage?
Yes, you would set input gamma to F-Log and input color space to Rec. 2020
@@TomBolles thank you so much! i'll buy your powergrade soon, looks incredible
Am I able to upgrade?
Yes, if you're already a user you should have received an email on how to upgrade
@@TomBolles I never received an email on how to upgrade and I'm a CinePrint16 owner/user :/
When I try to use this in the free version of Resolve, I get a watermark over my footage. Does anyone know why?
If you’re in the free version of Resolve you need to disable the Denoise and Grain nodes because those are limited to the full version. There are free alternatives for grain like using overlays
@@TomBolles Thank you!
hello tom is it possible to use on premire pro or finul cut pro?
Guys do somebody knows if it work with a cracked version of Davinci ?
🤣😂
how well does this work with iphone footage?
Pretty well. You’d just use Rec.709 as your CST inputs. Or if you use something like filmic pro to shoot in log you can use a log input like Cineon.
Here’s a video using a very early version of CinePrint16 on iPhone footage:
th-cam.com/video/GFTjiSvXswg/w-d-xo.html
The thing is that your images look very soft now, absolutely no sharpness. You get more sharpness on real film than on this emulation, I think you should reduce some settings in some part of the Powergrade.
bro xD all toturoail becuse is so goood but to much layers for me
