CINEFORM PowerGrade
Professional DaVinci Resolve node tree for fast, flexible cinematic grading.
CINEFORM PowerGrade is my signature DaVinci Resolve grading workflow, built from the exact node structure I use across my films and commercial work.Unlike a LUT, this PowerGrade gives you full control over every stage of the color process. Exposure, contrast, color balance, skin tones, and the final cinematic look are separated into clean, organized nodes so you can refine your image with precision without breaking the grade.The workflow includes a complete pipeline, from noise cleanup and highlight recovery to color separation, tonal shaping, and my signature CINEFORM look. Each stage is modular, allowing you to adapt the grade to different cameras, lighting conditions, and shooting environments while maintaining maximum image quality.Designed for real-world production, it creates a refined, filmic foundation that stays consistent across travel, documentary, and commercial projects. This is the system I rely on to move quickly in post while maintaining a clean, cinematic result and a consistent professional look across every project.

What's included?
Your download includes the CINEFORM PowerGrade .DRX. file for DaVinci Resolve, featuring a complete, professionally organized node tree.

After downloading the file, open DaVinci Resolve and go to the Color page. In the Gallery panel, right-click and select Import, then choose the CINEFORM PowerGrade file. Once imported, it will appear in your Gallery and can be applied to any clip by right-clicking and selecting Apply Grade.
What software is this compatible with?
CINEFORM PowerGrade is designed for DaVinci Resolve and works with both the Free and Studio versions, making it accessible for beginners and professionals alike.
Does it work with LOG footage?
Yes. The PowerGrade includes Color Space Transform nodes, allowing you to work with both LOG and Rec.709 footage. Simply adjust the input settings in the CST node to match your camera profile for accurate conversion.
Which cameras are supported?
The workflow has been tested across major camera systems including Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, ARRI, and RED. It is built to adapt easily to most modern cameras that shoot LOG or Rec.709.
Can I adjust the look?
Yes. The PowerGrade is fully modular, allowing you to fine-tune exposure, contrast, skin tones, color balance, and the overall look intensity while maintaining image quality and a consistent cinematic result.
Do I need advanced color grading experience?
The node structure is clean, organized, and clearly labeled, making it easy to understand and use even if you’re new to color grading, while still offering the depth and flexibility needed for professional workflows. Each stage of the process is separated logically so you can see exactly how the image is built from technical correction through to the final cinematic look. To help you get the most out of the workflow, the PowerGrade also includes a one-hour step-by-step grading tutorial where I walk you through the entire system, explaining what each node does and how to use it in real-world situations. By the end of the tutorial, you’ll understand not just how to apply the PowerGrade, but how to confidently adjust and shape your image for any project.
Will this slow down my computer?
The workflow is optimized for performance, but certain nodes such as noise reduction, grain, or glow may require more processing depending on your system. These adjustments can be easily turned off if needed.
Can I use this for commercial work?
Yes. CINEFORM PowerGrade is built for professional use and is suitable for commercial projects, client work, branded content, social media, travel, and documentary production.
Is this a LUT?
No. This is a full PowerGrade workflow rather than a LUT, giving you far greater control and flexibility while preserving maximum image quality throughout your grading process.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about what’s included, compatibility, installation, and support.
What's included?
Inside your download, you’ll receive the complete CINEFORM LUT Collection (.cube files), a detailed setup guide, End-User License Agreement, and a full installation and workflow tutorial.
What cameras are supported?
The full CINEFORM collection is optimized for professional workflows across ARRI, RED, Sony, Blackmagic, Canon, DJI, Fujifilm, Nikon, and Panasonic cameras.
What picture profile should I use when shooting?
For Sony cameras, we recommend shooting in S-Log2 or S-Log3 for maximum dynamic range. If your camera doesn't support LOG profiles, use the flattest profile available with reduced contrast and saturation for best results with our LUTs.
How do I install and use these LUTs in my editing software?
Our LUTs come in .cube format compatible with most editing software. For Premiere Pro, add them via Lumetri Color panel. In DaVinci Resolve, import them to the Color page. Final Cut Pro X users can install them as custom LUTs. Detailed installation guides are included with your purchase.
Do these LUTs work for both video and photos?
Yes, our LUTs work for both video and photos. For photos, you'll need software that supports LUTs like Photoshop, Lightroom (with plugins), or Capture One. The results may vary slightly between video and photo applications.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the digital nature of CINEFORM, all sales are final. If you experience any issues with your purchase or payment, please contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.
Do you offer custom LUTs for specific projects?
Yes, we offer custom LUT development services for specific projects or brands. We can create a unique look based on your reference images or videos, ensuring consistency across your entire production. Contact us for custom LUT pricing and details.
What support do you offer after purchase?
All LUT purchases include lifetime access to updates, detailed installation guides, and email support. We also provide video tutorials showing how to get the best results with different footage types and lighting conditions. Our support team is available to help with any technical issues.
