  1. Command J
  2. Make it anamorphic
  3. Go Ahead
  4. Apply the Portra look
  5. Compare

Describe the feeling. J.A.R.E.D. is the cinemaOS assistant: you ask for a look in a sentence, review what it proposes and approve it. This tutorial asks for two looks on one shot.

Steps

  1. Open J.A.R.E.D. Press Command J and type your request in English.
  2. Ask for a look. For this shot, ask: Make it anamorphic. Review the proposed treatment before applying it.
  3. Approve and try another. Approve with Go Ahead. You can also ask: Apply the Portra look. Treat each response as a starting point for your own judgement.
  4. Compare with the original. Keep the elements that suit the scene and adjust anything that feels too strong. Describe the direction, then make it yours.

Notes

  • The recording uses two real prompts and real Go Ahead approvals. The anamorphic treatment is set to 70 percent and the Portra request applies the Kodak Portra 400 legacy look.
  • With Always ask enabled, J.A.R.E.D. proposes and nothing is applied until you approve it.
