Cinematic
Cinematic LUTs
The General-Purpose Film Look. Subtle, Versatile, Professional.
Film-inspired grades with subtle lifts and controlled highlights.
The Look
The Cinematic pack is the workhorse category. These are restrained, versatile grades built for projects that need to look like film without committing to a specific genre signature. Subtle shadow lifts, slight midtone warmth, gentle highlight rolloff. None of these will jump off the timeline and announce themselves. They will just make your footage feel more finished. This is the pack to reach for first when you don't yet know what the project's look will be.
Best For
- Short films and narrative pieces still finding their direction
- Wedding videos where skin tones matter most
- Commercial and corporate work that needs polish without drama
- Music videos before you commit to a specific genre look
- Anything where the grade should be felt, not seen
Color Notes
Cinematic LUTs are deliberately soft. If you need impact, layer a second grade on top or push the matte-vivid variants. These work best as a starting point on Rec.709 footage; use them as node-one in a Resolve graph and add primaries above for shot-matching. The teal-drift variants pair naturally with skin-tone footage; the rolled-highs variants suit exteriors.
