gloss highlight

[Kevin Cannon]

Not sure if it’s exactly the look you’re going for, but I occasionally do a qualification that selects just the highlights, then grow that key larger than the highlight, soften the key, and lift up the shadows/midtones within, which gives a kind of hazy glow to light sources… it’s a little too uniform sometimes (highlights far away will glow with the same size as highlights close) so splitting it out into several sizes…

Select the highlights and instead of blur use mist. It’s a bit tricky to set up, but the look is definitely what you describing.

This, combined with the key mixer node, has gotten me there for those glow looks. That said, I do wish there was a way of blurring a key more or having a blur affect rbga instead of just rbg.

But the director of my current feature is raving so I’m a happy camper.

Jake, would you mind sharing your settings for this mist highlights effect? I’ve done this in After Effects and Resolve doesn’t seem to yield the same gauzy look.
