How you look on camera · Cinemac Help

Open the Camera tab and use How you look. Click a look such as Natural or Studio to set light, touch up and colour together, then change any part of it. Fine-tune holds the colour grades and every slider.

Your camera is recorded clean, and the look is added afterwards, so you can change or remove it at any time. Nothing is baked into the recording.

Pick a look

Open the Camera tab on the right.
Under How you look, click a look. Each tile shows you, at the playhead, in that look. Hover a tile to see it on the video first.

Look	What it does
Original	Your camera as it recorded you.
Natural	Light and colour fixed, nothing else. New recordings start here.
Studio	A soft key light, a light touch up and a little depth.
Warm	Golden light and a light touch up.
Crisp	Cool, sharp and clear.
Soft	Gentle skin, a soft glow and open shadows.
Film	A cinema grade with grain and a vignette.
Mono	Black and white with a little grain.

A look sets light, touch up and colour together. Change any part of it afterwards and the look becomes your own: the line under the tiles says which look it started from and how many settings you changed. Back to in Fine-tune puts that look back.

Looks only change your camera, not your screen. The background, shape and framing stay as they are.

Touch up

Touch up smooths your skin while keeping its texture, so you still look like you. It works only where your skin is: eyes, brows, lips, beard and hair stay sharp. Drag it to set how much.

Once it is on, two more switches show:

Even out skin tone: blotches and redness drift toward your skin's own colour.
Reduce shine: tones down shiny spots on the forehead and nose.

Your skin colour is measured from your own face, so Touch up works the same on every skin tone. It never reshapes your face or lightens your skin.

Light

Fix my lighting sets brightness and colour from your face and the room, and changes slowly so it never flickers. With a window behind you it lifts you, not the window. It never makes skin lighter than the light it is in. New recordings have it on.
Key light adds a soft pool of light on your face, as from a lamp beside the camera. From picks the side: Left, Front or Right.

Fix my lighting and Touch up use what Cinemac learns about your face after recording. They show once that is done for the part you are looking at, usually within seconds.

Dim the room

Set Background to Dim to darken the room behind you and keep you bright, so you stand out without blurring anything. Dim sets how much darker. See Camera background for blur, a colour or a picture.

Fine-tune

Fine-tune, under How you look, holds the colour grades and every slider. Its header says how many you changed from the look.

Colour: click a grade: Warm, Cool, Film, Cinema, Vivid, Matte, Vintage, Mono or Noir. None shows the camera's own colours. Drag Strength to make it subtler.

Setting	What it does
Exposure	Brighter or darker, in stops.
Shadows	Open up or deepen the dark parts.
Highlights	Bring back or brighten the bright parts.
Contrast	More or less difference between light and dark.
Warmth	Warmer (orange) or cooler (blue).
Tint	Greener or more magenta.
Saturation	Stronger or paler colour.
Sharpen	Crisper detail.
Clean up noise	Smooths away the grain a camera makes in low light.
Glow	A soft bloom around the bright parts.
Vignette	Darkens the edges of the picture.
Grain	A little film grain.

Use your own LUT

If you grade video in another app, bring its look in as a 3D LUT in .cube format.

Click Import .cube… in Fine-tune and choose the file. It shows up with the other grades.
Click LUT studio… to compare grades on a large preview. Drag across the preview to see the original beside the grade. Show library opens the folder where your .cube files are kept. Every .cube file in it shows in the studio.

The AI presenter

An AI presenter takes your colour grade and the Fine-tune sliders, so it matches the rest of your video. Touch up and Fix my lighting are never applied to it.
