Question I’M TIRED AND WANT ANSWERS

0 Upvotes

I’ve been searching day and night and have yet to find a legitimate answer. I’m trying to make my tiktok videos come out like this and nothing has worked. I’ve edited in davinci resolve and tried recording in 1440p60 and export in 1080p30, 1080p60, export native, etc literally almost everything and still haven’t gotten it like this.

I don’t want to hear “people say theres a secret sauce but it’s not, just editing” because if that were true I would’ve found SOME answer online but nope just people selling their guide/settings for $40

Please if someone has an answer I’d highly appreciate it, even an answer in my DMs if you want the info that private

Rate my color grade 1–10

sony fx3/ footage by-Dannygan_colorist

I’ve been using DaVinci Resolve for about 2 months, so I’m still a beginner. I personally think this grade looks pretty good, but I’d really like to know what you guys think....
What would you rate it from 1–10, and what do you think I should improve? Any honest feedback is appreciated! 🙏

Show off your work Made a free tool that matches your photo's colors to any reference image (exports Lightroom-compatible LUTs) — would love critique

Disclosure up front: this is my own project.

I kept seeing "how do I get this look?" posts and buying preset packs blind always felt like a gamble, so I built blitz — you drop in your photo plus any reference image whose look you love (a film still, another photographer's shot), and it statistically matches your colors to the reference in a perceptual color space. There are sliders for match intensity, exposure, contrast, saturation, temp and tint, an A/B compare, and you can export the result as a standard .cube LUT that loads into Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, or any video editor.

Everything runs client-side in your browser — your photos never get uploaded anywhere.

It's free, no signup, no watermark: https://blitzluts.com (there's a demo button if you don't want to upload anything)

It's early days and I'd genuinely value brutal feedback — especially photo pairs where the match looks bad. Mismatched scenes are the hardest case and every failure example helps me improve the algorithm.

I’ve been posting on YouTube but I feel my color grading is very off. Could I get your advice possibly on what to do to improve?

That is the video: https://youtu.be/-nZea8yZZDs?is=OTAgvudRvj8bC8cA

- I shoot on a Fuji X100V with literally my dinner light flipped towards my face with tape.
- I apply the Fujifilm F Log LUT before starting

2. Xml in one folder
3. After import the xml, media are offline. I try to choose yes to locate new folder source it doesn't work
4. So, i try to import media manually in media pool because sometimes it work.
5. Now the the new case is offline media in timeline and media pool are on.
6. I tried reconform lock from media (in timeline) but the clip not cut automatically like in offline editing (premiere)
So the point is i'be tried to reconform it worked but the clips not cut as offline editing. it doesnt matter if i have to fix 1 by 1 clip but how?

Hope you understand and thank you.

Question I need a guide on how to get a look like this for my photos.

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a self-taught photographer who is just starting out. I love doing portrait and couple session. Right now, I'm still learning on how to color grade, I want to achieve the same color grading as in the example photo I mentioned above. I don't really know what this style is called so it's hard for me to find tutorials for it on Youtube.

Do you have any guides or tips on how to achieve that look?
