Unlike Movie Looks, Looks Suite presets can be tailored to your individual needs. In fact you can even create and save your own preset to achieve a certain individual look or try and mimic the latest hollywood release. Looks suite works just like any other video effect by being dragged and dropped to clips on the timeline, but at first glance the list of options in the effects window can seem daunting:

But after spending a few minutes reading the manual and experimenting with the settings, you'll be creating new effects with ease. You can, of course, take a look at some of the existing presets to get an idea of how each of the setting adjust the picture, but it's quicker and easier to start with a blank canvas. Here's a quick explanation of the effects:

The looks suite effect contains four separate categories: subject, grade, camera and post. There's a "do" tick box which turns each category on and of, and as effects within a category are only applied when the box is ticked, it's a great way of finding out how one set of effects changes the look of your video.

1) Subject: with basic effects controlling the characteristics of your video, this is the foundation of any look you're aiming for. The emphasis here is on colour correction to achieve a blank canvas ready for the business end of Looks Suite. Tools here include gamma correction and saturation adjustment.

2) Lens: these effects aim to mimic the look created by commonly used lens filters. Diffusion filters soften the harsh look of digital video, whilst the gradient filter adds more tint to the top than bottom - great for getting those blue skys!

3) Camera: this is how the camera itself treats the captured image after filtered by the lens.

4) Post: this mimics film processing and where you'll see a lot of changes to any preset by changing levels.
