Thank you guys!

I have tried all that you suggested, I guess it seems fake because of the was the eagle in the stock footage is flying and probably because there are no reflections in the windows?

Attached you can download the stock footage of the eagle and the orignal file. If anyone wants to try I really appreciate it.
I guess some sort of reflections or anything (except contrast adjustments) that will make it look like its flying with a bit distance from the window would probably help.
It is suppose to fly from right to left on the right window in the first two couple of second in the clip.

Hi,

Im feeding QT, but it doesnt matter as long as it is reading RGB levels. On the preview window in Media Encoder its also showing RGB levels.

Exporting h264 mpeg-4 main concept.

Mike,

Is it possible to come closer or to create this look without the use of parallel nodes? In Davinci.

Hi Alan,

In some grading tools you have a channel control that consist of master, reds, yellows, greens, cyans, blues and magentas. They come with an separate lightness controller that can boost the lightness.

The lightness controller works different that what you will think. It does not boost the red color, but the luma and create a pale face (if that is what you want) if its mixed with the orange slider.

With the hue vs lum, I have never managed to boost the “lightness” with separate colors. It is also destroying / cracking the picture. Despite of having soft and bezier curves. It doesnt matter if I work with Alexa og Red footage in 4,5K.

I wonder if you can manage to get this effect with other methods.
Maybe the channel mixer is useful for something like this?

Write “creamy skin tone” and select images in google – and you will se what I mean.

Thanks for you help.

Same problem, but for some reason the old 9.0 beta version didnt crash so I reinstalled for this particular case.

Hi Sascha,

I just did a commercial with a lot of animated masks last month. I had so much trouble that I simple re-installed the old 9.0 beta version.
That is the last version I can remember that had no big issues with this.

Hi Sascha,

I agree, but I am not talking about silk smoothing techniques, but basically having the possibility to make luma adjustments on separate channels and separate colors. Like red and yellow in this case. I think that should be possible, and I dont find lum vs hue to be appropriate for that task. Its a common way and a good tool when adjusting skin tones.

Hi Juan,

The hue vs lum would probably solve it, but this tool need some extra attention from the developers I think. I have never managed to make clean luma adjustments from individual colors with this tool.

Most softwares do have a lightness option next to each channel (or colors). My workaround for now is to boost the red in both the red, green and blue channel equally in the channel mixer. When preserve luminance is off it takes me closer. But not there.

Robin, the creamy skin tones is a technique that is heavily used in commercials.
Do a google search and there is a lot of examples.
