NODE TREE
SOFT 2 STRIP
This is the fixed Node Tree for ALL films in the “Soft 2 Strip” series. The “Soft 2 Strip” pack comes with an additional 28 pages PDF User Guide that explains every single Node in detail.
FIRST 12
Here are some Details behind “Offset”, “Contrast”, “Saturation”, “LGG”:
Offset = Offset / Printer Lights
Contrast = Contrast / Pivot
Saturation = Sat
LGG = Lift / Gamma / Gain
If you see a Node labeled as “Green”, “Blue-Yacht”, “Green-Jacket” or something similar, check the Curves for “Hue vs. Hue”, “Hue vs. Sat”, “Hue vs. Lum”:
If you see a Node labeled as “LOG” & “LOG-Highlights”, “LOG -Blue” check the Log Wheels:
If you see a Node labeled as “Desaturation” or “Desat” check the Curves “Lum Vs Sat”. I try to avoid desaturation node. It is always better to balance the shadows / highlights using LGG or Log. There is nothing wrong with using “Lum Vs Sat”, but it should be used carefully and subtly.
For “Grain” I use the Open FX Filter by Davinci Resolve.
“Vignette” is Vignette (Power Mask & Shadows / Midtone)
