Before QazVerse, building a look meant assembling node trees from scratch and jumping between nodes every time I wanted to try a different direction. Exploring options was slow, so I'd usually settle on one look early and stay with it. Now I can test different directions quickly and show clients a few options instead of just one. RapidGrade covers enough in one place that I'm not bouncing around the node tree anymore, and my node trees are much simpler than what I used to build.

I learned color correction by following various things I’m glad it became a little easier It’s good because it makes me feel like I can do it, not like I’m hopeless

I've been using Waqas Qazi's DCTL color grading plugin, and it's been a great addition to my workflow. The three one-click looks provide an excellent starting point, especially when working on wedding films where speed and consistency matter. They preserve natural skin tones while giving footage a polished, cinematic feel, saving me time without sacrificing quality. If you're looking to speed up your color grading process and still achieve professional-looking results, this plugin is definitely worth checking out.

I graded a music videos and concerts for a few days or a week. Now I can really grade a video in 5 hours. It surely is a big money and time saver.

Lots of trial and error and lame grades that took way too long. Now I’m getting there faster and seeing behind the curtain - how the sausage is made.

efore QazVerse, I spent hours trying to get the right cinematic look for every project. I was constantly tweaking nodes, LUTs, and colors, and I wasn't always happy with the final result. It slowed down my workflow, especially during busy wedding seasons. Now, with QazVerse, I can achieve a professional cinematic look much faster and with much more consistency. My editing time has been reduced significantly, my work looks cleaner and more polished, and I have more confidence delivering projects to clients. The biggest difference is that I can Btake on more work without sacrificing quality, and my clients have definitely noticed the improvement.

Been grading for a few years now and always had a hard time with different look creations. But now it has become so much easier with Rapid Grade! Love it! Highly suggest

There was a specific client where i graded his video for a whole day and a half - it's a lot for a music video, normally it should take a few hours even without RapidGrade, but it is definitely much easier and quicker to do so using this tool. The looks are really good! Although it would be great to have more looks and some more instruments like false colour, exposure map and skin checker.

It was taking me double if not triple the time to grade before using QazVerse as a resource. I feel I can get to the end result and feel confident and be thankful that it didn't take me days upon days to get the right look.

After starting with QazVerse, my workflow became much more structured and predictable. I could move from idea to final output faster, with less trial and error, and my results started looking more consistent and polished. The biggest change was not just speed—it was confidence. I could take on more work without feeling overwhelmed, and spend more time on creativity instead of fixing technical inconsistencies.

Before, I've watched dozens of YouTube videos about how to color grade and tried to do what they were showing in the video. But I had no idea what I was doing! Everybody shared and told me something different to do in each video. I'm obsessed with cinematic content and I wanted to learn color grading so bad! Since joining Qazverse, I've got clarity, structure and progress that I've never would have had if I continued following the rabbit hole on YouTube.

My grading has finally turned the corner for the better once I started using The QazVerse products. I look forward to to working with new videos and projects.

Before QazVerse, my grading process felt inconsistent and time-consuming. I was experimenting a lot without a clear structure, spending many hours trying to build looks from scratch and still feeling uncertain about achieving a consistent cinematic result across projects. Now, after starting QazVerse, I’m in the learning and exploration phase. I’m studying the course daily, experimenting with the tools, and gradually understanding the workflow, node structure, and look development system. Even at this stage, I can already see more clarity in my process and better direction when approaching a grade. The impact so far is confidence and growth. I’m developing a stronger foundation, refining my eye, and building a workflow that will allow me to work faster and more consistently as I continue progressing through the course.

Before QazVerse, I was constantly juggling strategy, content creation, and campaign management on my own. I was building brands, running Meta Ads, writing copy, creating visuals, and optimizing performance, but everything depended on my time and energy. If I slowed down, growth slowed down. I was working long hours, testing manually, and overthinking every creative decision. Now, I operate with more structure and clarity. My workflows are sharper, my creative decisions are faster, and I execute campaigns with stronger positioning from the start. Instead of spending days refining direction, I can move from idea to launch much quicker. A specific win: I’m able to launch high-converting campaigns faster and with more confidence, without burning out or second-guessing every step. The biggest impact is scalability. I can take on more projects, maintain performance quality, and still protect my time and energy.

I can take on more clients without burning out

I was spending so much time on one video but now I spend less time on grading and I am opening up in taking much more clients.

In the turn and burn world of live television, it's amazing to have tools available like this to speed up the coloring process whilst not sacrificing quality.

I was struggling trying to sift through hours of YouTube videos trying to find a way to make my videos look more "cinematic' and professional. Qazverse puts everything in one place and provides great value.

When editing my videos, I would usually make small adjustments to the colours and then throw a LUT on and call it done. Now, I feel more confident making changes to the image so it fits the feeling I am aiming for, as well as being able to more accurately match clips that were recorded across multiple different cameras or in different lighting conditions.

Before QazVerse it used to take me hours getting the right look. Now with easy I can get a look within a few minutes stress free

As an independent filmmaker, I tend to do everything myself from production to post production. I do enjoy the color grading aspect of post production and I am able to get my content out there faster.

Before QazVerse Before using QazVerse, color grading was slow and confusing for me. I spent a lot of time testing looks, adjusting nodes, and second-guessing myself. As a beginner, I wasn’t sure if my colors looked cinematic or just “okay”. Color grading was a hobby, but progress felt random and frustrating. After QazVerse After QazVerse, everything became clearer and faster. I can build a clean cinematic look much quicker. I understand contrast, color balance, and mood much better now. My videos look more consistent and professional. Color grading is still a hobby, but now it feels controlled, not chaotic. I spend less time fixing mistakes and more time creating atmosphere.

Before using QazVerse, color grading was hands-down the slowest part of my workflow. Between fast-turnaround edits for the Portland Thorns and branded content jobs, I was constantly juggling deadlines, and grading always ended up being the part that ate the most time. I’d spend hours trying to get shots to match or get the look I had in my head. After switching to QazVerse, that stress basically disappeared. RapidGrade gave me a clean starting point instantly, and it cut my grading time down by more than half on most projects. Instead of fighting with color, I’m spending that time refining story and pacing where my energy actually matters. The quality of my grades has gone up, and I’m able to take on more work without burning myself out.

I’ve literally changed my entire workflow thanks to these incredibly valuable tools! What used to take hours now gets done with just a few clicks. Highly recommended, always!!! 🔥

It is superfast to try different high quality looks, and present look options to clients. Love being able to store a library of looks for quick loading and sharing with the Qazverse crew.

Before I was struggling handling premium clients. Now, I can manage them with ease.

I was spending way too much time to grade my work, mostly experimenting and barely making extra money of it. Now what took me 2 days, take me half a day with serious crispy looking footage to be proud of. I can now delivery a way quick result saving me time and energy and I can do the grading myself in-house instant of hiring an extra colourist most of my projects.

I was spendining about 3-5 days a week grading interview projects and barely breaking even. The amount of time I was spending editing and grading didnt allow me to to grow. Using the tools in the QazVerse has allowed me to grade interview projects in less than 3 days. This helped me stream line my process and turn around a better Interview projects faster. I have been able to take on more free lance projects with high profile Universities, Nonprofit Organizations and Corporate clients. The time I save has allowed me to take on more clients.

I went from trying to duplicate what I saw on youtube with unreliable results to confidently applying what I have learned and grading any footage that comes my way in the exact way I want it to look so quickly I feel bad charging for how little time it takes to grade. The one click looks are so easy to use and I love "retrochrome" it suits my style so well. I have now been able to do the epic aerial landscape and cityscape shots justice and it's reinvigorated me to shoot more just so I can grade it.

I used to spend 1 hour color grading one clip, with RapidGrade I now take 20 min. This is a hobby of mine and I like to make Instagram reels, I can now delivery in quicker, and can focus more on recording more content.

Gets me out of tough last min jams with clients

Before QazVerse, I was spending up to a week grading music videos and not getting the results I was looking for. I just recently graded a promo video in under 3 hours using the one-click look system. Total Game Changer!! Using RapidGrade, and being apart of QazVerse has helped me make my work more cinematic. The response so far from my clients has been extremely positive.

Amazing being able to save your own as well to pop up in a click on one node. Time is money

I had difficulties using all the tools in DaVinci Resolve, and thanks to RapidGrade, I now have an all-in-one solution at my fingertips with just one click. Color grading is now much faster.

I'm coming from a photography background and this format seems so much at home.

Before QazVerse, I struggled to find all the right tools and information in one place. My workflow was scattered, and I spent too much time hunting for resources and solutions, which slowed me down. My grading was taking longer than it should, and I couldn’t scale my projects without sacrificing quality. Since using QazVerse, Qazi Toolkit and RapidGrade, everything is streamlined. All the tools, presets, and resources I need are now in one place, saving me hours of searching. RapidGrade allows me to apply cinematic looks with just one click, and the toolkit helps me fine-tune everything quickly. My workflow is faster, my work looks more professional, and I can now take on more clients without burning out.

Ive spent 4-5h a day color grading 4-5 reels a day for clients, but now with the one-click system I get done i 15 min. Now I can take on more clients, delivere waaay before deadline and get a good repurtation with my clients!

I'm Rainhard, a freelance Film Maker in Vienna Austria I want to get the next level with my Color Just Started, but impressed

It's the perfect tool to reduce your work time and get beautiful color reproduction.

I can say that with the tools and courses that one has access to, it is a goldmine of information in Qazverse. I am now more confident of grading a project in lesser amount of time and at the same time maintain quality of the entire project.

I learn from Qazi now since more than five years and he opened my eyes for how easy it can be to grade and get professional results. The latest improvements with Qazverse let me save so much time and give me all the artistic freedom I need.

Adding RapidGrade to my workflow has been a complete game changer. It helps me move from point A to point B with speed and precision, and keeps my grades consistently dialed in.

With RapidGrade, I can easily see how bad is my previous color works, skins are too green, not popped out. It's not just a new tool, it helps me think that way and it forces me to check, how's the sky, how I'm gonna do with foliage, how about skin, how about bleach bypass, it's just the next level beyond the Qazi's toolkit before, so before, I really love QT skin juice, but when I change something, everything will be changed, it's good sometimes because it's based on RGB mixer, but for most of the time, I just need to change one quadrant. Now with RapidGrade, it's so much easier, and it behaviors like client, client just want skin to be popping out, don't mess with my blue my cyan. single slider, done.

"I work much faster without damaging the image."

I was always struggling with the creative aspect of coloring. "What look should go here? What fits here? I don't know how to build this look." etc. etc. With the one=click look system in RapidGrade, it made my job so much easier to just flip through many looks to see what vibe felt right and then build off of that. Not to mention, as a DIT, I no loner have to tell the director/dp/producer to come back in 5 minutes because now I can just pop on a look in seconds, and then adjust contrast/exposure and its ready for viewing.

Grading sometimes can be tricky and frustrating trying to get the right look but with this new toll I have been able to achieve looks that for me where almost impossible and in the matter of minutes my footage has been looking like chiefs kiss. I think this tool will help me be noticed and be able to book more work soon. Thx Qazi!

It used to take me forever to adjust, correct and giving the shots the look I wanted, but with the help of the tools and information on QazVerse, I do this in no time, delivering products ahead of schedule.

This is the plugin that makes so much easier to grade

I was struggling with the looks and how my projects were feeling because I just knew it was something bigger and better for me and yeah, I was not making a lot of money off of it which I wasn’t really charging because I really didn’t no what I was doing And I felt like I wanted to be a pro and not a amateur anymore. The hardest things for me was watching all these videos and spending all this time on YouTube and other platforms downloading luts and still not being able to understand the color science, and the power of daVinci that I really had at my hands . Another thing is that when you feel like you were getting better and then you go to export your file and you see that it looks horrible, real muddy, gunky, and just bad

I was spending far too long on each project, constantly second-guessing my looks, because my grades lacked consistency. I knew I had the passion, but I didn’t have a clear system. I wanted to understand the science behind great color, build looks with confidence, and deliver results that felt truly professional. That’s exactly what I was hoping to fix when I joined QazVerse.

When I had to rate my videos, it took forever, and that time I should have been spending earning money was being wasted because I didn't have an easy way to do it. I needed a quick and efficient way to get ahead and produce professional-looking results without sacrificing quality, and with these tools, I've achieved just that. My clients kept asking for changes; they were never satisfied with the results. But all that has changed! Thanks to Qazi! 😎
