@@musichao if you’re in the free version of resolve you’ll likely need to turn off the denoise node and any nodes using OFX. I don’t have the free version so I’m not sure which those would be specifically.
Hey dude, great video, thanks! How do you handle colour management with this powergrade? I usually go fairly manual, working in DWG at the timeline level, but I'm finding the results are really hot in terms of saturation - should I bypass colour management when working with this PG? Also worth mentioning that the footage I'm working with in this instance is straight up rec709 as opposed to log footage...
CinePrint doesn’t really accommodate a color managed workflow, so you’re stuck with CST’s. It also expects LogC, so unfortunately REC709 isn’t going to play very nicely here. In your case I’d look at using Dehancer or another option that allows for REC709 source footage.
@@cknopik Hey man, thanks for replying! I've been playing around with it and I can get a really decent result with bypassing colour management and changing input / space to r709 so I'm going with it... that's what I love about grading in Resolve - if it works, it works, right? 😂 Edit: I am working with 10bit footage though
Hey man, i have been using this tool for a while. Tho I have a problem 😅when my footage is in the timeline it looks great, when I output it, even in pro res the colors seems deemed down. I tried also with Rec 709a as I use MacBook but no luck, any idea ?
Not sure if this is the right way to go about it, but I was having similar issues and changed my Mac's monitor color space to rec709 from sRGB. I now get much more accurate results on my exports.
Great tutorial, thank you! Is it normal that after applying the powergrade, the playback is extremely slow? Even with proxy and disable Denoise and Grain, I can't get over 7fps, my rush are in 25 fps. I have a Macbook air M1 16go Ram. It's weird...
It definitely can slow things down since there are a lot of nodes to work through. You could grade in full res and then use proxy modes for playback. But yes temporarily turning off OFX usually helps.
I'm a newbie and I 've been wanting to know too. I bought the cineprint16 thing but got watermark when I tried to use it :( not sure if I did anything wrong.
Love the idea of this powergrade and it would be fun to challenge myself. Currently I'm pretty intimidated by the color page in DR. ha! imho I liked the original to the first grade shown. Because of the colors and how the man poped out of the background with the grade it had a green screen effect for me. Totally subjective though. There would always be good reasons to do that based on the story you're trying to tell.
It’s pretty intensive. If your machine is struggling, I would recommend turning off the denoise, halation, blur, and grain nodes while playing back. Then turn them back on for export. Hopefully that’s enough to speed things up.
Absolutely! You'll perform a color-space transform into Arri Wide Gamut/Arri Log C, and then it should work perfectly from there. The only potential issue would be if you're working with 8-bit log footage. This powergrade does push things around quite a bit, which could result in some artifacts with 8-bit footage.
Hey brother, Great tutorial man, I'm just an enthusiast and shoot with a GH5. I know Tom recommends using Log but I actually don't have VLOG on my GH5 (Cost me an additional 100 to activate it). Are there any other picture profiles (HLG, CineD, Natural) you think I could make CinePrinte work? I actually have CinePrint for a while, I am able to get decent results using HLG but feels like it's not quite there (not sure if it's my inadequacies in color grading or its due to not using LOG) Also, just saw your photo editing process via DaVinci & CinePrint and noticed you choose sRGB as inputs, is that default input for all stills? Apologize for all the questions man, but your work in stills & video is what I am striving for. Thank you my man
I’m not super familiar with the Panasonic color profiles, but in general I think a high bit-depth LOG format is best for this powergrade. It requires a substantial amount of color data. For stills, I export sRGB out of Lightroom, so that’s what I use in my color space transform. Thanks for watching!
@@cknopik ahhhhh, thanks for the tidbit of info. I actually found the LOG activation for half off and already purchased it! Going to experiment with it soon my brother, I've messaged Tom directly and he made it sound pretty necessary to have LOG footage. Thanks again my man.
Hi, today I bought cineprint16. But every time when I add the grade, there's text (davinci resolve studio) all over the video. Do you know how to remove this? Thankyou
On the free version of resolve you’ll need to disable any of the nodes that use open effects that are studio only. Grain, blur, etc. Most of the look should still translate and you can find alternative ways to achieve those textural elements.
Hey man! Ive bought the cineprint and its amazing, however theres 1 issue; the halation node doesnt seem to work on any of my clips. Ill turn the node on and nothing happens. Ill enter the compound node and everything is on, theres also another separate compound node in there labelled “OLD ver”which is turned off. If I pull that into the node line, I have to pull the opacity all the way down to 0.100 as its very intense. If you could shed any light on this, it would be much appreciated 🙏
Hey! That's interesting, I've never had that particular issue, so I can only speculate. The halation node only creates halation only in the brightest parts of the image - it essentially does this by isolating those parts, blurring and tinting them, and then layering that on top of the "base image". So in theory, if your image was underexposed or didn't have any highlights above a certain value, the halation node wouldn't do anything. I'd double-check your image pipeline leading up to the halation node and make sure there is a healthy exposure going into it. You could try bumping up the offset wheel in the "cam exp" node and see if that changes anything. The "OLD ver" node inside the compound node is a previous iteration of the halation effect - it is not meant to be used simultaneously with the rest of the nodes. I'd recommend checking the manual for more on that. Good luck with it!
That’s a good question. I’ll have to try it out. I think you could get the core of the look in a LUT, but of course the textural aspects wouldn’t be able to transfer over. I’ll follow up when I’ve tested it.
Has anyone noticed that the guy in the car has red, almost glowing ears? I guess halation simulation gone wrong there... Rec.709 doesn't have this problem.
Had no idea you had a tutorial for this.
I actually purchased this a few weeks ago and was trying to find a good tutorial.
Excellent job
sweet video man 😊
Thanks Matti! I appreciate you checking it out
Is Matti Finally learning Davinci???
Purchased power grade, thanks for letting your secret loose. Liked and subscribed!
So much valuable information on all yours videos much respect man
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
I’m glad that people use this powergrade. Gives me more of an excuse to not upgrade to dehancer when this is half the price and just as good
you're so kind. thank you
Very well done man! I love this cineprint 16 powergrade, i use it for everything now!
Really helpful video, Carter! Solid workflow 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not sure how I stumbled on your video, but thanks so much for this!
Thanks for checking it out!
Perfect, thanks!
Sick work!!
Great work!
good stuff man!
Should try dehancer, brilliant tool for film print and best software for adding noise
I've heard this from several people - I'll definitely need to check that out next. Thanks for the recommendation!
Great video man
Thank u so much
Does this require the studio version of Resolve? I guess some nodes (grain?) is not self-contained, but uses Revolve Studio's grain effect?
I think 95% of the nodes would work in the free version. But yes, you would miss out on some of the OFX and denoise.
@@cknopik Do you know how to get rid of the davinci studio watermark?

cool 👌
what is the best profile picture to use with cineprint16?
How would you use match color features with these? Where would you place the node?
I tried this cineprint 16 from tombolles but the export size with those nodes is way too big
Have you ever encounter there’s like black and white on the highlights.

Is it only can be used for davinchi resolve 'studio' version?

Once I apply the powergrade to clip, I cant playback at even a decent speed. Any tips on how to regain some playback frame rate?
It’s pretty intensive. If your machine is struggling, I would recommend turning off the denoise, halation, blur, and grain nodes while playing back. Then turn them back on for export. Hopefully that’s enough to speed things up.

Has anyone noticed that the guy in the car has red, almost glowing ears? I guess halation simulation gone wrong there... Rec.709 doesn't have this problem.
so once you apply cineprint all those nodes pop up?
That’s correct, the powergrade is essentially a preset series of nodes.

Bit overwhelming for me
Too many nodes lol. Gave me a headache
