Alight Motion CC XML Pack Download: HDR & Aesthetic (2025)

Why Your Edits Look Low Quality (And How CC Fixes It)

Many new editors think that “Quality” comes from the export settings (e.g., selecting 4K export). While that helps, perceived quality actually comes from contrast and color depth.

The “4K Trick”: It’s Not Resolution, It’s Coloring

The “4K Quality” edits you see on TikTok often aren’t actually 4K. They use a specific Alight Motion CC stack that tricks the eye:

1. Sharpening: Using the Sharpen effect (Radius 2.0+) to fake higher resolution.
2. Channel Remapping: Swapping RGB channels to make skin tones pop.
3. Exposure/Gamma: Lowering the gamma to make blacks “true black,” removing the gray wash out of mobile footage.

By downloading the XMLs below, you get this exact “stack” instantly.

The “Quality Enhancer” Pack (HDR & 4K)

These presets are designed to be “transparent.” They don’t drastically change the colors; they just make the footage look expensive, crisp, and high-definition.

1. Ultimate HDR CC (High Dynamic Range)

This is the essential Alight Motion CC for every editor. It mimics the HDR effect seen on iPhones by boosting the highlights and crushing the shadows.

• Effect Stack: Highlights and Shadows, Saturation, Vignette.
• Best For: Real-life footage, vlogs, and dance videos.
• [Download HDR CC XML]

2. 4K Sharpen + Denoise XML

Does your footage look grainy or blurry? This XML applies a “Denoise” logic to smooth out the skin while aggressively sharpening edges (hair, eyes, text).

• Technical: Uses Sharpen mixed with a slight Gaussian Blur overlay set to “Overlay” blending mode.
• Best For: Fixing low-quality WhatsApp or downloaded clips.

3. “Fake” 60FPS Smooth CC

This CC includes a Motion Blur layer optimized for “Optical Flow.” While it technically affects motion, it is often grouped with CC packs because it gives the video that “soap opera” smooth look.

• Best For: Slow-motion edits (Twixtor).
• [Download Smooth CC XML]

The “Aesthetic” Vibe Pack (Instagram/Reels)

If you are editing for Instagram Reels or TikTok lifestyle content, you need “Vibe” coloring. These Alight Motion CC XML presets focus on mood rather than clarity.

4. Brown Aesthetic CC (The Viral Insta Look)

You’ve seen this everywhere. It desaturates the blues and greens and boosts the browns and oranges. It gives a warm, “coffee shop” vintage feel.

• Best For: Travel vlogs, outfit checks, and “sad vibe” reels.
• [Download Brown Aesthetic XML]

5. Soft Pink / Coquette CC

A bright, dreamy CC that pushes the whites towards pink/magenta. It adds a soft “Glow Scan” to make highlights look angelic.

• Best For: Cute edits, K-pop fan cams, and beauty tutorials.
• [Download Soft Pink XML]

6. Minimalist Grey CC

This preset desaturates almost everything except skin tones and red. It creates a clean, modern, and slightly “cold” look.

• Best For: Tech reviews, car edits, or “Sigma” style content.
• [Download Minimalist Grey XML]

The “Anime & AMV” Pack (Intense Colors)

Anime Music Videos (AMVs) require a completely different approach. Here, we want saturation and contrast to be maxed out.

7. Candy Glow CC (Saturated)

This Alight Motion CC makes colors explode. It uses the Spectral Map effect to turn bright areas into neon rainbows.

• Best For: Upbeat anime edits (One Piece, Naruto).
• [Download Candy Glow XML]

8. Dark Horror / Villain CC

Perfect for “Villain Arc” edits. It crushes the blacks heavily, adds a dark red tint, and increases the Vignette to create a claustrophobic feeling.

• Best For: Horror movies, Jujutsu Kaisen (Sukuna) edits.
• [Download Dark Horror XML]

9. Blue Lock “Ego” CC (High Contrast Blue)

Inspired by the Blue Lock anime. It tints the shadows deep blue and makes the highlights stark white. It feels cold, calculated, and intense.

• Best For: Sports edits or intense action synchronization.
• [Download Blue Lock XML]

10. Cyberpunk Neon CC

A complex XML that shifts purples and cyans to be fluorescent. It works best on footage that already has night lights or cityscapes.

• Best For: Night city drives, gaming highlights (Valorant/Cyberpunk).
• [Download Cyberpunk XML]

How to Import & Adjust CC XMLs Correctly

Importing a Color Grading XML is slightly different from a Shake preset because it sits on top of your video.

The “Rectangle Rule”: Fixing Screen Ratio Issues

Most CC XMLs are built using a “Rectangle Shape” that covers the screen.

• The Problem: If you import a 9:16 (TikTok) XML into a 16:9 (YouTube) project, the coloring will only cover the center strip.
• The Fix: Select the CC Layers (usually named “Rectangle 1” or “Color Group”) > Tap Edit Shape > Manually stretch the Width and Height points until they cover your entire view.

Layer Stacking: Why CC Must Be on Top

For Alight Motion CC to work, it must be the topmost layer in your timeline.

• If you place it under your video, nothing will happen.
• Tip: Group your CC layers into a single folder (Select layers > Tap Group button). This keeps your timeline clean and lets you toggle the coloring on/off with one click.

Troubleshooting: Why Does CC Make My Video Lag?

Color Grading is mathematically expensive for your phone’s GPU.

The “Gaussian Blur” GPU Drain

Many “Glow” effects use Gaussian Blur. This is the #1 cause of lag.

• Solution: If your phone freezes while editing with CC on, simply hide the CC layer (tap the Eye icon) while you do your cuts and shakes. Only unhide it right before you export.
• Export Crash: If it crashes at 99%, try disabling the “Sharpen” effect inside the XML group, as this consumes huge amounts of RAM on 4K exports.
