DaVinci Resolve Film Look LUTs - How to Apply PROPERLY!

In this video I walk through how to properly apply the DaVinci Resolve Film Look LUTs that are built into the software. I've been there before not knowing how to get these to look good, so I show you exactly how to apply and use them in a simple color workflow! This includes the Kodak 2383 Film Print Emulation LUT as well as the Fujifilm 3513DI emulation.

This video is what more people need to see. It explains deeply but very easily why a LUT needs some proper setups before applying! Even many "professionals" are unable to explain it and they spread wrong knowledge or hide it because of their ego. Thx man!

The best tutorial on how to use Kodak LUT in DR. It has been a big pain point for me and spent many hours trying to figure it out. You nailed it. Thank You So Much.

Saludo my friend from Puerto Rico, I want to thank you for your excellent work, explaining how to work with this fabulous program. Back in the days I use to work with FCP 7, I quit for several reason, the change of FCP 7 to X was part of the reason, at that time, we did not had this type of information at our disposal, this program has made me want to do this type of work again and haveing a person like you to help us, its a blessing, I hope you continue helping this community and thank you so much!! You do a great job sir.

Absolute best tutorial on this subject. Nailed it.

Great video. Ive watched 4 on this topic. Yours covers everything while others left out a good bit of this information. Thanks.

Such a great informative video! I had trouble with my GoPro footage looking too dark when I applied any LUT from the Film Looks library, and this definitely helped fix that. Thanks Evan!

DUDE. I am just getting into learning Davinci from FCP. These are incredibly helpful.

[gankster]

ive been learning how to color grade and ive found this video super easy to follow along.

[europhile]

This is very good! I've recently looked at a couple of other videos that explain how to do this, they are very good but not as compact complete and detailed a yours. I particularly like the tip about reading the LUT files.

[davidlavalleejr]

This was the most concise tutorial I've seen on this subject. Thanks for sharing!

[PeteEdmunds]

Perfect thank you. I have some normal non-log footage from my drone, and now I can see which nodes I need to add to create a film look.

[lululucaschae]

I've watched so many videos and this one hit home. Thank you so much!

[mr.spaceshiptechno]

Great Tutorial! For those who just join videography, it is important to expose your video properly before you head into davinci to do color correction!

[WhoIsAlexElliott]

wow I was totally doing what you said not to do, massive difference !!!

[scarylove_era]

I just used resolve for the first time and decided to do FPE with Kodak 2383. Thanks for showing me how to apply it properly, I just used it in my last video!

[mjodr]

Bam, breakthrough! Been trying to figure this out for weeks! Thanks!

[RaduButarascu]

This tutorial made A LOT of sense - thank you!
