Alight Motion CC Preset: 32 Best Colour Grade Settings

Alight Motion CC preset searches are huge among mobile editors. CC means colour correction, and it is the secret behind those sharp, glowing, HDR-looking edits you see on Instagram. Many people download XML preset files, but those files can break, show errors or come from unsafe sources. A better way is to understand the colour values and set them yourself. Once you save them, they work just like a preset.

How to Apply an Alight Motion CC Preset

Step 1: Open Your Project

Open Alight Motion, create a new project in 9:16 and import your video clip.

Step 2: Select the Clip

Tap the clip on the timeline so it is selected.

Step 3: Open Effects

Tap Effects, then tap Add Effect. Search for each effect named in the box, like Contrast, Saturation or Color Tune.

Step 4: Set the Values

Open each effect and enter the values from the box. Small changes make a big difference, so type exact numbers where possible.

Step 5: Check on Different Clips

Play the clip and check faces, skies and dark areas. Adjust slightly if your footage is brighter or darker than average.

Step 6: Save as Your Own Preset

Select the clip with all effects, tap the menu and choose to save as a preset or element. Give it a clear name like “My HDR CC”.

Applying Your Saved Preset Later

In future projects, open your saved presets or elements, tap your CC preset and apply it to a new clip in one tap.

Use an Adjustment Layer

For multi-clip edits, add a colour effect to an adjustment layer placed above all clips. One set of values then grades the whole video.

Matching Effect Names

Different versions of Alight Motion may name effects slightly differently, such as Color Tune, Colour Balance or Hue/Saturation. Pick the closest match and use the same values.

Values May Need Small Changes

If an effect uses a different range, use roughly the same direction and strength rather than the exact number.

Alight Motion CC Looks Compared

Look	Best For	Key Effects	Mood
HDR and sharp	Faces, travel, cars	Contrast, Saturation, Sharpen	Clear and bright
Cinematic	Storytelling, travel	Color Tune, Hue/Saturation, Vignette	Film-like
Moody and dark	Sad, night, attitude	Exposure, Saturation, Vignette	Emotional
Warm and festive	Aesthetic, festivals	Color Tune, Glow	Cozy and joyful

Why Set Values Instead of Downloading XML Files

XML preset files are popular, but they come with risks. Some websites hide XML downloads behind fake buttons, pop-ups and suspicious apps. Some XML files only work on certain app versions and show errors. Others ask you to install modified apps, which can harm your phone and your accounts.

Values Always Work

Typing the values yourself works on any version that has the same effects.

You Learn the Skill

Once you understand how contrast, saturation and temperature work together, you can create your own looks.

Safer for Your Phone

You avoid unknown downloads and modified apps completely.

Easy to Share

You can share your values in a caption or story, and anyone can recreate your look.

Tips for Clean Alight Motion Colour

Fix Exposure First

Set brightness and exposure before adding saturation and colour. Colour looks different at different brightness levels.

Protect Skin Tones

If faces look orange or red, lower orange saturation or temperature slightly.

Do Not Overdo Sharpen

Too much sharpen creates harsh edges and noise. Keep it between 15 and 40.

Check on Another Screen

Phone screens vary. Check your edit on another phone before posting.

Keep Clips Consistent

Use the same preset across all clips in one edit so the colour does not jump between shots.

Export in High Quality

Export at 1080p or higher with a high bitrate so the colours stay clean after upload.

How to Create Your Own Alight Motion CC Preset

Start With a Mood

Decide the feeling first: bright and happy, dark and moody or warm and cozy.

Set Contrast

More contrast feels dramatic, less contrast feels soft.

Set Saturation

Raise it for happy, festive edits and lower it for sad or vintage edits.

Set Temperature and Tint

Warm temperature feels cozy and joyful. Cool temperature feels calm or sad. Tint adds pink or green.

Finish With Effects

Add vignette, glow, grain or sharpen lightly to complete the look.

Keep a Preset Library

Save each look with a clear name, like “Sad Blue” or “Festive Gold”. Over time, you will build a personal library of CC presets.

Understanding Each Colour Effect

Knowing what each effect does helps you adjust any alight motion cc preset for your own clips.

Contrast

Contrast controls the gap between bright and dark areas. Higher contrast looks punchy and cinematic. Lower contrast looks soft and faded.

Saturation

Saturation controls how strong colours are. Raise it for festivals and nature. Lower it for sad, vintage or calm looks.

Exposure

Exposure brightens or darkens the whole clip, especially the bright parts. Small changes are usually enough.

Color Tune and Temperature

Temperature shifts colours between blue and yellow. Warm feels happy and cozy, cool feels calm or sad. Tint shifts between green and pink.

Hue/Saturation

This effect lets you change one colour at a time. You can make skies bluer, greens softer or oranges warmer without changing everything.

Glow

Glow adds a soft light around bright areas. A little glow feels dreamy, too much looks blurry.

Sharpen

Sharpen makes edges crisp. It helps HDR looks but can add noise if pushed too far.

Vignette and Grain

Vignette darkens the edges to focus attention on the centre. Grain adds a film texture for a vintage or cinematic feel.

Order of Effects

Add exposure and contrast first, then colour effects, then glow, vignette, grain and sharpen at the end. This order keeps results predictable.

Shooting Clips That Grade Well

Good colour starts with good footage. Record in daylight or bright indoor light whenever possible. Lock exposure by tapping and holding on your subject before recording. Turn off phone beauty modes so skin keeps its natural texture. Record at 1080p or 4K at 30 or 60 fps. Keep the camera steady, because shaky clips look noisy after sharpening. With clean footage, every alight motion cc preset on this page will look even better.

Common Mistakes and Fixes

Clip Looks Too Dark

Raise exposure slightly or reduce vignette strength.

Skin Looks Orange

Lower temperature and orange saturation a little.

Colours Look Fake

Reduce saturation and contrast by a few points.

Video Looks Noisy

Lower sharpen and avoid very dark settings on low-light clips.

XML File Shows an Error

Skip the file and use the values from this page instead.

Picking a CC Look for Your Content

Not every look suits every edit. Use this guide to choose the right alight motion cc preset.

For Attitude and Bike Edits

Dark Film Look, Deep Shadow Attitude CC and Crisp Car HDR add strong contrast and deep shadows.

For Couple and Romantic Edits

Warm Cinema Glow, Sunset Warmth CC and Shaadi Warm Film CC add warmth and closeness.

For Sad and Emotional Edits

Sad Blue Mood, Rain Glass CC and Monochrome Drama CC bring quiet emotion.

For Aesthetic Girls’ Edits

Peach Aesthetic, Creamy Beige Soft and Pink Dream keep skin soft and colours gentle.

For Festival Edits

Diwali Warm Glow, Holi Vivid CC and Temple Gold CC bring festive richness without fake skin.

Keep One Signature Look

Use one or two looks across most of your edits. A steady colour style helps people recognise your page, just like the vikas edit style is recognised by its clean colour.

CC for Different Phone Cameras

Different phones capture colour differently. Some phones make clips very warm, while others look cool or very saturated. If your clips already look warm, reduce temperature in the preset by a few points. If they already look very colourful, lower saturation. Test each preset on a few clips from your own phone and save a slightly adjusted version that suits your camera.

Pair CC With Templates and Captions

Colour works best with good timing and words. For reel templates, see our [link to: Template by Vikas Video CapCut post]. For CapCut colour settings, check our [link to: Filter by Vikas Editing post], and for captions, the [link to: Vikas Edit Caption post].

Sharing Your Own CC Values

Once you create a look you love, share it with your followers. Post a before-and-after reel and write the values in your caption or pin them in the comments. People love learning how a look was made, and sharing values builds trust and loyal followers. Many editing pages grew by sharing their own alight motion cc preset settings openly instead of hiding them behind download links.

Show Before and After

A quick split screen of the original and graded clip makes your values easy to understand and fun to watch.
