ULTIMATE Film Look Node Tree: NO GATEKEEPING!

In a fugue state, I share my exact current node tree for great film emulation, which with minor adjustments to the end CST (or look LUT) and disabling certain nodes can work for any professional look!

Happy to clarify anything I glossed over here in the comments!

[@Cinedon]

"You're probably shooting Sony, that's how the internet works." hahahahahahahhaha

[@dawtyn]

This video is a gem! I hope you recover from your cold soon.

[@JacoxNovak]

WOW, THAT UNIFY NODE IS SOMETHING ELSE!

[@Owlbot]

It's a nice little trick, right?

[@etiennevogelproductions]

Hahahahah “I’ve I turn that on, my whole world would explode” 😂😂😂 Love your attitude

[@AnLe-yg9ln]

thank for sharing 🎉

[@Owlbot]

No problem 😊

[@ValentinBernauer]

Nice video! You talked about a DCTL that could be an alternative to scatter. Would you mind sharing the source so I can check that out?

[@Owlbot]

I just meant the diffusion effect in Resolve

[@neilfullframe]

Make a Powergrade and I’d buy it. DayQuil does nothing for you but thank you for the value anyhow lol 😂

[@RodeoNouveauLeather]

I can't seem to find the bulge settings for it to not be blacked out on the edges, any insight or where to find it? also very helpful and cool video. It's interesting to see all the different ways people find to effect the image in similar ways

[@Owlbot]

Oh no it'll always be blacked out, I just zoomed in a bit in the sizing tab on that node

[@RodeoNouveauLeather]

@@Owlbot ah awesome! Thanks for the quick reply :)

[@jhonesreece4946]

I would like to see the beginning of how you go about composing these nodes please

[@Owlbot]

The beginning?

[@jhonesreece4946]

@@Owlbot yes bro

[@Owlbot]

@@jhonesreece4946 I meant I need clarification on what you mean by that

[@shwnmcd]

Do you know where I can find the Bulge and Scatter DCTLs? I've been lookin everywhere!

[@Owlbot]

Scatter is an aftermarket product, buldge is just what I called the node but the effect is just "lens distortion" which is built in to Resolve. I will say I was playing around recently and found that there's a lens correction parameter, the edit sizing panel and I think that might be a more realistic option cuz lens distortion seems to have a hard hard transition from the affected area to the non-affected area when I was putting it on a grid. Play around with it though!

[@shwnmcd]

@@Owlbot I see! I wanted to ask if you've ever tried dehancer? I've been using all my grades and there might be some stuff that you can take away from the program!

[@Owlbot]

Yeah I have a dehancer review on here (or at least on ProVideo Coalition). I like the looks you can get, however it's a very heavy plugin and slows me down quite a bit. Normally I use it by just developing the look and saving a LUT out of the app and using that since the rest of the stuff it does is relatively easy to replicate otherwise. I will say their grain emulation is excellent but that's one of the heavier parts of their plugin so it's hard to use for me til I get a better computer haha

[@etiennevogelproductions]

Do you have a link for the “Tetra black point” tool you talk about in minute 5 ?

[@Owlbot]

I wanna say it's this one? github.com/hotgluebanjo/TetraInterp-DCTL/blob/master/TetraInterpBlackpoint.dctl

[@OfficialDavidGarduno]

But I am using Canon 😅

[@smartideas-pedro1690]

Way overkill imo. Just get an fpe or film stock emu at the end and correct white balance and exposure prior to that.

[@Owlbot]

I disagree, also that'd pigeonhole you, whereas this method lets you tweak everything. Doesn't have to be film emulation, I often just use it as my stock node tree.

[@tommyzimmerman2081]

but i am shooting canon 🤣

[@Owlbot]

There are, in fact, dozens of us. Be ready for something on the 17th by the way
