Cool Night
A cooler, slightly moodier read for low-light scenes.

What this look actually does
- Lowers exposure slightly and cools the whole image, then adds contrast back so shadows keep detail.
- Adds a small blue lift to the shadows only, which keeps night footage from turning flat black.
- It is a colour look, not a scene converter. A daylight street still looks like a daylight street at night.
Best for
Night exteriors, blue-hour footage and dim interiors that need a cooler read.
Watch out for
It cannot turn daylight into night. If you need a real night look, shoot or render that instead.
How to use it
- Exported as a Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 creative look.
- Raise exposure before applying if the footage is genuinely underexposed.
