A little clarity.
A better start.
Will this work with different cameras?+
Yes, when the footage is correctly brought into the required working color space. Follow the tutorial’s Resolve color-management setup or the appropriate input transformation for your camera.
Is this a Lightroom preset or a LUT pack?+
This is a PowerGrade collection for DaVinci Resolve. It uses Resolve’s grading workflow and is not a Lightroom preset pack.
What is a PowerGrade?+
A PowerGrade is a saved DaVinci Resolve grade. DRX files carry the grading settings, including the node structure, so you can inspect and adjust the look. Keep any supplied stills and supporting files together when importing.
How is a PowerGrade different from a LUT?+
A LUT maps color values. A PowerGrade carries an editable Resolve grading setup. It can also use LUTs or other tools within its nodes, so follow the installation instructions for the pack.
Will it work in the free version of Resolve?+
Compatibility depends on the nodes, effects, and source formats used by the grade. Studio-only features require Resolve Studio. Check the pack tutorial or ask me about your setup before purchasing.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE TOOLS
I followed
the curiosity.
I’m Sidney, a photographer, cinematographer, colorist, and pilot. I found Lightroom through a friend and started photographing everything that caught my eye. Long before clients or algorithms, there was the joy of making something.
That curiosity took me into filmmaking and DaVinci Resolve. I started sharing color-grading tutorials, built a community, and had the opportunity to partner with Nikon. These tools are part of that same creative life.
I want you to understand the process, find what works for you, and enjoy making the work.
