My SECRETS to Big CINEMATIC Video Look

Get the 7 secrets to creating the SAME look as big budget films!

There is often this big gap between what we are wanting to achieve and what we actually end up creating.

I have found that gear and lighting will only get you so far. To put the final finish look you need to know what the Hollywood greats are doing on the big feature films.

Or at least the 7 secrets to how to make cinematic video in the color grade so no matter if you're a beginner just starting out or you've been doing this for some time and the look is still elusive...

...this video will show you EXACTLY how to do it in this tutorial...

...and demonstrated in your editor of choice be it Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve you'll get the same ultimate breakdown.

If you like what you see and would like a shortcut to getting the high-end cinema look even easier and faster then check out the the CineLook LUT that's available in the Cinema Grade plugin:

Can I admit — this is the most useful, real practical advice for film color grading I found on YouTube.

And no super complicated node trees like some other YouTube Colorists teach, just some curves and qualifiers, very straight to the Point.

Industry knowledge and experience is one thing, but being able to teach so professionally in front of a camera is another. Great work!

The fact all of this is free and delivered in 10 minutes is insane. Thank you!

[Elijah-Bravo]

The amount of genuinely helpful, free information in this video is astounding.

[gillesmatheronpro]

Great work... rich enough to learn, clear enough to understand. Bravo !

[amitahansda]

Amazing video packed with an incredible amount of info. Not only did you explain what to do, but you explained HOW to do it and WHY it matters. Bravo!

I gotta give you props brother. I thought I wasn’t going to like this video because there wasn’t any node trees, but you made me see that I’d been working harder not smarter.

I've been doing photo editing for quite a while now and I must say that I at least already do 4 out of these 7 steps. Still, it's really nice to know that some things apply to video editing as well. Great video!

Thank you so much for putting Final Cut Pro and Adobe premiere pro in this! I use the former the most but the latter for school. Thanks!

You saved my life ❤. Best color grading tutorial in I have ever watched, Clear and detail.Subscribed!!

[smepable]

That was amazing! One of the best Color Grading "why you do what you do" tuts in YouTube

[thefelsch]

Definitely one of the more competent tutorials on YouTube, really good information and no-BS solutions. Good idea to show the corresponding parameters in Premiere and Resolve back to back as well!

[dammyemmanuel]

You're the best! The way you skillfully teach color grades is just amazing!!

[digitalhome]

Very good tutorial! I Would love a follow-up to how you handle footage taken with consumer grade action cameras, such as GoPro and Mavic drones. The qualifiers on 8-bit footage do not behave as nicely as what you posted, or I may be just pushing too hard, and expecting too much from that type of cameras?

This is the first video that actually helped me understand color grading. I feel so much more confident moving forward in creating better looking films! Thank you!!!!

[ellengg]

Thank you so much for this useful tutorial, that's the clearest I found for color grading so far.

[jellewierda]

That James Bond question was exactly what I was thinking last week. I just started filming. Thanks man
