In this one I want to look at the new Film Look Creator effect in DaVinci Resolve 19 vs Dehancer Pro and talk about whether I think Dehancer is still worth it.

George, thanks for your feedback! We are happy to answer any questions 😃

Thanks for your job !!! "Movie look" is a metaphor, it's not real. That simple. I am a professional photographer and I have used emblematic films depending on the type of report and that was my color palette/characteristics. Since digitalization appeared, this concept was sold as something ideal and the reality is that digital results, film recreations and all types of processes are a "color" in themselves, useful and that they can coexist. It's funny that those who want to get that look have never used film. When CDs came out there was another controversy with vinyl or tube amplifiers. Everything is valid creatively and I think we have to maintain objectivity about fashions.

I agree with your first point. If you never studied film than you won’t know the characteristics of each individual film stock to dial in a specific look.

@georgekamenov_ 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, you're just hit with a list of film stock names and it's up to you to experiment with all of them to see what they do. I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't have the patience for that and just write it off as something they don't want to deal with haha

It should probably also be mentioned that nearly all of the film stocks and prints in Dehancer are photography stocks. Only a handful of the options are film stocks for motion picture film and all of those are the modern Vision 3 stocks from Kodak. You don't get any classic motion picture film stocks from the 70s and 80s etc.

I've seen some comparisons and reviews of Film Look Creator vs. Dehancer, but not a single one of them mentions the fact that Resolve comes with film print LUTs that you can combine their FLC plug-in with. I think any review of FLC is incomplete without exploring how using the LUTs influence the final result.

@georgekamenov_ 2 ай бұрын

Fair enough. Might be something that's worth looking into, yeah.

Great video George! I'm curious how you graded the talking head portions of this video. Is it just converted to rec709 or did you use dehancer for that as well? Thanks for the help!

@georgekamenov_ Ай бұрын

Didn't use dehancer for the talking head. Though I do have a video exactly about how I grade my KZfaq videos. Honestly pretty simple: just convert to Rec709 with Phantom LUTs and then bring down exposure a touch and slightly adjust skin tone to make it look right 🙂

what you are thinks about the dehancer lite version...because the pro version is a little bit to expensive for me :(

@Metalsaber 3 ай бұрын

Can you comment on the peformance of the new Film Look Creator vs Dehancer? My biggest gripe with Dehancer is that once you add a few effects (film grain and something else) the performance tanks. If FLC doesn't tank performance, then I'd say it's got a great boost over Dehancer. Be interested in your feedback.

@georgekamenov_ 3 ай бұрын

In my experience so far the Film Look Creator might run a bit better than Dehancer. But that could be because Dehancer handles the effects in a different way. From what I understand, the math behind how Dehancer processes things is more complicated. Could be wrong about that though. But yeah, the FLC does seem to be slightly less taxing, at least on my PC, which is pretty old at this point 😅

Hii, i have a request. Can you make a video on how to use dehancer properly. When i use it and apply vision 250d and 2383 print, everything looks bad i mean very bad. Can you teach us how to make the image look great using dehancer .

Are you over-cranking your saturation on purpose? I was looking at your vector scope?

@georgekamenov_ 2 ай бұрын

Nah, I just zoom into the vectorscope itself sometimes and it makes it look like that 😅

@@georgekamenov_ lol ok, I was like, wow, but the footage doesn't look over-saturated. Great content, by the way.

@Endimione17 3 ай бұрын

In my opinion it's quiet impossible deliver the same look of film with any kind of plug-in film emulation. Results are always similar but absolutely not the same. You should have to shot same take with both digital cinema cameras paired with real emulsion (same exposure, same ISO, same angle, same filter, same ND etc) and compare (when applied the film emulation on Resolve) side by side and in this case too, you'll get similar but not the SAME look. So I guess Dehancer but also other emulators are too expensive for the goal

@georgekamenov_ 3 ай бұрын

Well yeah, you obviously won't be able to get footage to look 100% like it was shot on film, unless it was shot on real film. That's why it's called emulation. You're trying to replicate that short of look with the tools you have. As far as being too expensive, like I mentioned in the video, it really depends how someone is going to use it and if it's a tool that will be used all the time or just once and never touched again.

@Endimione17 3 ай бұрын

@@georgekamenov_ Yeah, I agree... obviously... but I think there's too much misconception about film emulsions. Let's be clear: I appreciate the long, dedicated work of Dehancer's crew and so on, don't want absolutely underestimate their contribution. I cannot otherwise bear the hype about creators that claim the 'Kodak' look or anything else... Fuji, Velvia etc... maybe in one touch ;-) It's a kind of paranoic nerd breakdown ;-). I guess FLC in Resolve performs a great job: it allows to get very close to film curves (and that's what really matters in my opinion with the 'film look'); take for instance the bleach bypass and will see.

@theowlfromduolingo7982 3 ай бұрын

The only negative points about dehancer are - imo opinion very expensive, even more expensive than Davinci Resolve Studio itself - the update process is still unnecessarily frustrating and unprofessional - imo some of the film stocks don't look like the original film stocks - too contrasty imo

@georgekamenov_ 3 ай бұрын

Agree about the price, it's definitely on the expensive side. About the updates, I don't actually do it that often, but I guess it can be a little slow, yeah. About the film stocks, can't really comment there because I haven't had the chance to actually shoot with any of the real ones, all I've seen are references for what they're supposed to look like 😅

@theowlfromduolingo7982 3 ай бұрын

@georgekamenov_ Regarding the update process, I was told it only works if you deactivate dehancer inside Davinci Resolve itself and download the latest version and then active it again. Otherwise you loose one out of ten activation keys each time.

Wait, really? Damn, gotta keep that in mind...

I have not had any problems with the updates, when they arrive I install them without doing anything and watch the new version on DVR and I do speak from experience.

Cmon bro to be really unbiased you can’t be saying “I can say whatever I want but I have an affiliate code for you that will give me benefits” makes it really hard to trust what you’re saying if you’re affiliated in anyway

@georgekamenov_ 3 ай бұрын

I understand that, however if you watched through the entire video you'd hear I said a bunch of things in favor of not actually buying Dehancer. And beyond that, if you watched the video all the way through you'd have heard I said you shouldn't buy something because I, or anyone else, told you to. Buy it if you need it, don't if you don't. Some people might have decided to pick up Dehancer already and this video might help to confirm that it is something that would fit their workflow. Therefore, they can use my code to get a discount and help the channel out. But again, the entire video is full of points that say Dehancer might not be worth it for a lot of people.
