The picture quality of digital cameras as gotten so good that they look really sharp, really clinical, almost to the point of looking sterile.
There's something gravitating about film grain when you see it. The texture, the finish, it really makes you think of something classic, something timeless.
Film grain as opposed to the signal "noise" from digital sensors is organic and beautiful.
But there's no way to replicate this any longer in camera as we have switched from analog to digital.
There is a trick however.
You see if you capture an 18% gray card (or middle gray) on motion picture film you're able to capture the grain texture inherent in the process of shooting on celluloid.
In post this recorded video file can then be overlaid over top of your digital footage and then set the composite/blending/transfer mode of the footage with the recorded film grain to "screen" or "overlay."
This allows you to effectively imitate the look of film grain on your digital video.
What's awesome is we have prepared for you 5 different film grain files from real 35mm film scans to use on your footage.
You can screen record them from the video.

You can download them for free in 4K by:
1. Visiting colorgradingcentral.com/free-film-grain-overlay-4k
2. Clicking 'Download' on the page and entering a valid email address
3. Then watch the entire video looking for a 4-digit "unlock" code in 2 different parts of the video (in the upper right-hand corner of the video)
Example: 1st part: 12**
2nd part: **34
So the complete code would be 1234 [ Not actual passcode; just an example ]
4. Visit the download link in your email
5. Enter 4-digit passcode from the video on the download page to unlock the 4K film grain

I began my career in wedding videography as I loved to chase the cinematic craft.
It gave me lots of great opportunities to experiment and make mistakes. At first I was just obsessed with capturing in HD.
Later I realized that brides didn't care about this and were more concerned about the way they looked and capturing their memories...
...I shifted focus and instead concentrated on how I could make their video look timeless like a movie instead of captured by their uncle or cousin with a camera.
The capturing tools were certainly helpful and did give me an advantage but there was always this gap between what I was trying to create and the movies we know and love.
Fortunately I stumbled into the answer being color grading...
...the final steps in the post production process that would yield the beautiful cinematic video I was after 🙌🏼
The results were stunning. More compliments, more referrals and more I could charge for, for this unique craft.
Well I don't know who you are or where you're at on your journey but I do know that having the right knowledge and presets were a leg up.
They allowed me to explore different moods and develop my taste for what looked good much quicker.
I want to give you the advantage I didn't have with looks that I've been creating over the course of my career (I even created the video filters for Instagram).

What if the way we've been doing color grading is leading to "muddy looking" video?
You see the truth is there's no set pattern or "workflow" for grading using the built-in tools.
You kind of just make it up as you go along and this leads to frustration when shots don't match after a LUT is applied.
The difference with this plugin is you're guided step-by-step from one page to the next:
1. Correcting shots
2. Matching shots together
3. Applying an overall LUT or look to "grouped" shots
By following this proven (colorist approved) workflow you're able to grade 3X faster and get better quality results.

The time it takes to grade each shot individually is a chore. 90% of the work of color grading is balancing and matching shots.
This is where dedicated control panels come in with grading functions mapped, to buttons, knobs and wheels.
While I won't dismiss their merit and speed, however a tool you're already expert at using is being overlooked.
What if there was a grading tool with hotkeys (similar to Photoshop) that enables you to switch tools...
...and a grading interface that lets you grade in the viewer with simple point and click dragging up and down on a trackpad/mouse?
That tools exists as a plugin for Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
While simplicity was the foremost goal when we set out to create the Cinema Grade plugin, we realized that it is optimized for speed and it ended up being faster than we ever could have imagined.
In fact personally I have found I can balance and match shots faster with a keyboard/trackpad than with a dedicated control surface.
Now that's not to say it's a replacement for those high end tools for those with dedicated needs...
...but it will get you better looking video in minutes instead of hours with an easy to use intuitive interface with built-in looks and LUT previews.

What if there was a tool that could enhance old VHS or SD footage to FULL HD?
If you've seen ads for such software as Topaz Video Enhance AI and want to know if it can actually make a difference without shelling out $300 you came to the right video.
The challenge with upscaling video is by enlarging the pixels it makes for blocky video.
So what needs to happen is that missing information needs to be filled in with some kind of intelligence.
This is where Topaz comes in and it uses artificial intelligence or machine learning to fill in the missing information.
This video isn't sponsored but we were curious to see how well it would perform in tests on old family footage.
You can learn more about Topaz Enhance Ai here:
topazlabs.com/video-enhance-ai
Restoring the resolution is one aspect of improving the look of old footage, but what about the color?
This is where Cinema Grade can make it easier to enhance the colors of archive footage by improving the exposure and contrast.

It's hard to put your finger on that certain film quality.
The way the highlights have a nice soft creamy look.
As it turns out a lot of top cinematographers use lens filters that are either screw-in or loaded into a matte box.
The most famous of these would be the pro mist filter.
While these can be expensive and cumbersome what would it be like if you could experience the same effect in post with the option to change it?
What if you had the flexibility to try out different effects and strengths until you got the look you want?
Here's how to create 5 lens filter effects in Premiere Pro:
#1 - Glow Effect 1:27
#2 - Lens Distortion Effect 2:26
#3 - Pro Mist Filter Effect 3:28

Boy what would I give to shoot a video and put it together in Final Cut Pro X and then have it look the way that I had envisioned it.
A clean professional look that makes me feel proud to put it out there for the world to see.
It can be frustrating when the video looks muddy and not cinematic.
I'm no stranger to muddy looking video and that was me cutting my teeth in videography in 2007.
No matter what I did I didn't get any closer to getting a cinematic look until I discovered color grading.
By the next year people began to take notice and I landed in a career traveling to far away places.
I was hired based on my ability to shoot and bring back cinematic looking video.
I know color grading can seem like a special or advanced skillset...
...but it doesn't have to be.
Just like with anything else it helps to have the right guide and mentor to save you time.
This is that video and by the end you'll have a good understanding of what to do to get a clean professional look that makes you feel proud of your video.
Color grading Final Cut Pro X can be the difference between getting passed over and being set apart.

Things are a lot different these days am I right?
Getting a film education at a university was the acceptable path to making it in a film career.
Here’s why that may not work.
I am not an overachiever by any stretch (I graduated high school with a 1.8 GPA) but when I finally decided I was going to go all in and find a way to make a living in a creative career I applied myself.
This thinking is what allowed me to excel in my film program.
Most people did the bare minimum on assignments but I went above and beyond what was expected of me.
I went in search of information OUTSIDE of the classroom and looked for any tip or trick that would gain me the advantage.
I would then apply this to get practical experience.
This paid off as I worked on and produced the best projects in my various classes.
I count myself very fortunate I was able to land a film job fresh out of college but I know it was only because I did things different than the status quo.
This point was driven home when one day when I was out picking up supplies at a Lowe’s to build my own camera slider (I was then working in a film role) I ran into a guy in my film program.
He had graduated but couldn’t get hired on any film jobs so he accepted a position at Lowe’s.
I felt so bad for this guy, my heart really went out to him.
So, I’m going to be honest and up front with you.
If you want to stand out, you must be willing to be different and approach things in an unconventional way.
The 5DayDeal Video Creator’s bundle represent industry leaders who have ALL done this.
Pay only $89 for over $2,000 in film resources here:
colorgradingcentral.com/5dd-yt
What’s more they have extended the things they have gained from blood sweat and tears to you!
I am pleased to be apart of the bundle for the 5th year running.
It is an honor to contribute our ‘Color Grading Secrets Pro’ valued at $147.
If you already are an Academy member you already have a portion of this training.
But I hope that you understand the bundle expands beyond what I’m offering.
Not everything in here is relevant to you, but the things that I’m betting big on are:
- Learn Filmmaking from Jakob Owens (normally $299)
- Learning to Light Night Exteriors from Shane Hurlbut (normally $199)
- Premiere Pro Editing Workflow from Full Time Filmmaker (normally $129) *
*requires Pro bundle
I have gone through the information and training… and I just wish that I had this when I was in college.
So should you go to college?
The contacts I made there and the experiences I had were worth it!
However a resource like this I can easily see supplanting that or at the very least enhancing that learning experience.
Whatever you decide, you have my personal assurance that if the bundle doesn’t work for you and you don’t see it’s value let me know and I will give you a full refund.
Out of my own pocket!
That’s how much I believe in this cause.
So take a shot on this bundle and be different.

Also 10% is donated to charity which makes a lot of people happy :)
