- What is color grading?
- Color grading adjusts the color, tone, and mood of your footage. Cinematic presets apply popular film looks — like the teal-and-orange blockbuster look or the faded vintage film aesthetic.
- Can I combine a preset with manual adjustments?
- Yes — pick a preset as a starting point, then fine-tune with the temperature, exposure, contrast, and saturation sliders. Adjustments are applied on top of the preset.
- What's the Teal & Orange look?
- The most popular cinematic color grade — warm orange skin tones against cool blue-teal shadows. Used extensively in Hollywood blockbusters.
- What's the difference between Color Grade and Color Effects?
- Color Grade applies subtle, professional film looks (Teal & Orange, Film Noir, Vintage) with fine-tuning controls. Color Effects applies dramatic transformations (Thermal Vision, X-Ray, Solarize) and AI-powered background effects.
