Created by Liam Berell
A filmmaker and creative director with a passion for craft and storytelling.
I’ve worked with many different brands and individuals, and what I specialise in is quality. I’ve always cared more about the craft than about virality or catching attention. To me, the value is in the quality of the work.
This PowerGrade comes from that. Everything in it is what I’ve learned from other filmmakers and professional colourists, combined with my own taste, and it has been developed and changed over many years.
I care about taste, and about getting the details right. I’ve done everything I can to make this as simple as possible, while keeping it as effective as possible.

Resolve, footage, delivery, refunds
Before you buy.
What do I need to run CineGrade?
DaVinci Resolve. The PowerGrade imports straight into your PowerGrade gallery on the Color page, no conversion needed.
Does it work in any other editing software, like Premiere Pro, Final Cut or CapCut?
CineGrade is built for DaVinci Resolve, which is free to download and runs on Mac and Windows. If you edit in another program, you can still use it.
In Premiere Pro or Final Cut, export your timeline as an XML file and import it into Resolve (File, Import, Timeline). Your cuts come across with it. In CapCut, or if you'd rather start fresh, bring your footage straight into Resolve.
Grade it there with CineGrade, then export the finished video.
Which versions of DaVinci Resolve does it work with? Free or Studio?
It works in the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Two optional parts, film grain and noise reduction, need Resolve Studio. They're switched off by default, so you can ignore them if you're on the free version.
Will it work with my camera and footage?
Yes. CineGrade works on any camera and any footage, and it's built and demonstrated across a range of cameras, lighting conditions and subjects. Results still depend on your source footage, and every clip needs its own adjustment.
Does it work with log and non-log footage?
Yes, it works with any picture profile. We suggest using a log picture profile to get the most out of the PowerGrade.
How much adjusting does my footage actually need?
CineGrade does most of the work for you. Most of the values are already set, so you won't need to make many changes. Every clip differs in lighting, sensor and exposure, so you'll still fine-tune white balance, exposure and contrast on each shot. The setup guide and tutorial walk you through exactly how.
How do I get it after I buy?
After you buy, you download two zip files from your Lemon Squeezy order: one with the PowerGrade and the PDF setup guide, and one with the four practice clips. You also get a link to the step-by-step tutorial video.
Can I use it for client and commercial work?
Yes. You can use CineGrade on any project you want, personal or commercial, including client work. Read the full terms on the licence and refunds page.
What's the refund policy?
If you were charged twice for the same purchase, or the product is faulty or not as described, email support@itsbyliam.com and we'll sort it out. Refunds are processed through Lemon Squeezy. Full details are on the licence and refunds page. Nothing there limits the rights the law gives you.
