I use linear color space for 3D, and would never have thought to use it to discriminate what contrast areas actually receive Halation . Genius application and excellent use case!
FYI Dehancer lets you limit the halation to just highlights. That “wash” of red glow across midtone areas has its own control sliders so you can turn it off if you want. It DOES show up on real film in some shots, so it’s helpful to have.
@@JooWorks by "super white", are you talking about the bright areas that clipped ? or the areas that do not clip until the conversion to rec709 is done ?
This is absolutely incredible! Great work. Physically accurate film looks are the way forward, will definitely be doing this. Thanks for making it free and sharing the knowledge!
This is fantastic. I’ve always been hesitant to use Halation because of the problems you described from DaVinci or Dehancer, but this looks worth a try. Thank you.
This was really good information. Inspired by this, i tried the same principle with a slightly different approach. Log video in - (node1) Highlights up +2.4 -- (node2) film look Creator halation -- (node3) Highlights back down -2.4 -- (node4) Color space transform. It also worked better than traditionally implemented. You just select the highlight area where you want halation.
Subscribed. Love the general vibe, the way you explain things and exert knowledge. And I love love the aesthetic of your video, in total contradiction with what other 'UA-camrs' tend to do.
wow this is incredible. Very informative video and also very generous of you to give it for free. Hope life pays you back good in other ways. Much love
This is such an amazing and intuitive look into how this effect works physically and how to translate that into the digital space. I love the passion, thank you so much for putting this out into the world!
After download the file it seems to not recognize super whites. Concrete has same halation as almost burned sun marks. Hmm. The nodes also are different. Maybe I do something wrong 🤔
What timeline color space might you be using? If you use it on rec709 and transform it to linear, try to use the "Custom max output." slider to affect the strenght.
this is absolutely fantastic, I’ve been using this on a music video this week, looks so natural and beautiful. thank you for such a lovely free thing 🔥
Just the explanation of how Halation works finally made it click in my brain. The nodes on top of that is insane. Although I guess the Resolve node and Dehancer effect are designed to be useful on non-Log footage as well?
I rebuild it node by node in fusion so I can use it in my linear 3D workflow before the image gets to the color tab. It looks so good!! Thank you so much
One thing I didn't mention in the video is that each blur node is set to "lighten" blend mode, so it doesn't bleed blacks to whites, but only whites to blacks. So I recommend doing that in Fusion as well.
@JooWorks I love this effect. You absolutely nailed it! I would definitely appreciate a premiere version in addition to anyone else who has requested it. From your explanation, I think I might be able to figure out how to recreate the effect in premiere but it would take a bit of time. Either way, thank you so much for the video!
This is very interesting, I have used my own node tree for a while now, which has a qualifier before halation, working as a high pass filter, basically sending only superwhites, then there's a glow after the halation, to help and mitigate the weird roll-off of resolve's native halation. I have been getting good results, although I use this effect in great moderation. Anyways, great work, I'm very glad to have stumbled upon your channel, cheers!
It would make sense to add a high pass filter to the front... Agree. This effect actually modifies the shadows as well, but just so little that it's not really visible.
One thing to note, in order to have proper light scattering within your emulated film color layers, you need to use a blurring algorithm that blurs quadratically, this is known as the "inverse square law", I know that resolves normal "Gaussian" Blur does NOT follow the curve that would be associated with light falloff. This is nitpicking, but it would be SLIGHTLY more physically accurate (despite probably only changing very subtly) to somehow blur quadratically, someone may correct me if I'm wrong though!
Your effect looks miles better than both dehancer and resolve 19, but i'm lazy and stupid so I'll stick with what I know. Really insightful and informative video.
Wow very well done and very well explained. And for someone that usually uses dehancer after the cst for grain bloom and halation, it made me realize how stupid it is to do so. But I would have assumed that dehancer was indeed working in linear when used before the cst in a wide color space. I have to try your compound node now!
You are a Hero! Thank you so much you are so generous! I hope you make more videos! I have subscribed I cant wait to watch yuor catalog and I would love to see more! Youve earned a loyal subscriber!
I think the unknown film at 2:18 is Looper (2012) :) it was shot on Kodak Vision3 500T (famously what Cinestill sell as 800T rolls of 36-frame 35mm for film photography! they remove the ramjet layer which makes halation more likely!)

GREAT video, thanks for the work you are sharing here, and for the free effect. Do you have any tutorials on how to get a subtle but accurate film emulation/look in lightroom? Or perhaps some presets/profiles that you recommend to get a nice soft natural film look like you grade yourself with in these videos?
Thanks. I'm personally do my raw photos in DaVinci Resolve now days if I want a film look for them. DaVinci is not really a photo editing software, but I figured out a way to use it as one and I really like the color out of Davinci than Adobe + Film emulation is so easy in DaVinci.
@@JooWorks You aren't the first person I've seen do that! Do you use Resolve's film look creator tool for the photos, or your own custom settings? Also I really love the way you grade the shots of yourself, looking for something that gets closer to that soft feel. I know there's a million tutorials on various film styles, but if there's anything you could share about how you get your look, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Really like this halation effect, and I've tried a lot of them! One tip: To lower the sensitivity of the effect (not the intensity) - if it affects faces for example, just lower the Lift of the three nodes (Red, Red S Blur and Green). :) This can break the effect if taken too far, and you can use the Offset wheel as well for more subtle control. Not a perfect fix, but it helps control parts of the effect.
I'll test your idea. That should work as each node is set to lighten mode, so lowering the gamma for example should lower it in midtones, without affecting exposure. Thanks.
@@alexisj-l5291 After playing around with the gradient PNG I found that using Curves and only moving the Blacks point horizontally gives a bit of a better transition and more control - in my opinion. :)

how to learn colour grading? sounds like you know your stuff

I think we can all agree though spectrally pure green light shouldn't produce a yellow glow.
same with davinci's
This works in rec709, where there is no super whites, but in log it still ignores super whites.
@@JooWorks I'm not sure what you mean by "super whites" ? i've never heard that term before. Where can I read more about this ?
@@JooWorks by "super white", are you talking about the bright areas that clipped ? or the areas that do not clip until the conversion to rec709 is done ?

me too man
this saves me so much time and less resources as well, thank you so much!! dehancer is so expensive and at the same time, very resource hungry.
Just used this on one of my projects. It looks so nice and natural ! Thanks for just giving it to us for free.

The main issue is that there is no "To linear" color space options in Premiere, or is there? (I have not used Premeire for a long time)
@@JooWorks I’m unfamiliar with a linear workflow in general so I’m unsure if there’s anything like that in premiere
