How to get the best exposure in the color grade with free LUT. cinemagrade.com I remember the first time I attempted to open the video scopes... I promptly closed the window deciding they were too difficult for me to understand. Little did I know how useful they would become in improving the look of my films and helping my color grading to stand out. I recall having to force myself to learn and try to understand what they were showing me. It took some time but I eventually began to grasp what they were revealing to me about my images. And then this one day early in my career I was using a Marshall monitor on set and I discovered that it had a special function button that turned on the "False Colors." I thought what the hell is this? Pasted on one side of the monitor was a sticker guide showing various colors with numerical values and I soon came to realize that what I was actually seeing was my exposure levels represented as colors!!! e.g. red for clipped or "blown-out" highlights, purple for crushed blacks and skin tones in the green and pink areas. I was like, "what!?!" How simple is this that I can use this feature as a part of my cinematography to improve the look of my films by getting the proper brightness and contrast in my films? From then I was really hooked and the quality of my films took off. I came to love this feature so much so and based on popular opinion we introduced False Color into our popular plugin for Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve 16 and Final Cut Pro X on the Mac.
