TOOLS FOR FILMMAKERS
Film Style
The Film Stocks filter includes almost 300 fully-customizable presets that transform your videos or still images from digital to the beauty of analog film.
Based on actual film scans from the world’s leading developers including Agfa, Fuji, Kodak, Ilford, Polaroid, Rolei, and more. Whether you want the look of a Kodachrome 35mm film shoot or a Polaroid process print you'll find all that and more in this comprehensive package of film stock emulators.
Set the desired film stock, control the film processing, and finish your look by setting the final print stock.
Looks Development
Love the greenish hue of Aliens, faded warmth of The Godfather II, or the golden tones that defined Titanic? The Grade filter gives you access to presets developed by some of the world’s leading colorists. Apply the same color grades from beloved Academy Award-nominated films with just one click. Featuring 100 film-named presets and full customization with the FX Editor.
The Looks filter provides additional color grading options including controls for grain generation, color correction, diffused lighting, gradient tints, gel overlays, lab processing emulation, and more.
Optical Filter Emulators
Avoid potentially expensive reshoots by applying in-camera lens effects in post.
Digital optical filter emulators allow you to quickly add a glass optical filter look to projects without needing to commit on set. Change filters with a single click to quickly test out different looks without needing to rent more equipment.
The Optical Diffusion filters give you tons of ways to control light and color, add soft-focus blur to the foreground in a scene, simulate rack focus, add fog, and more. Includes over 110 unique customizable holdback mattes that allow the diffused or color-corrected light to push through user-defined areas to deliver added depth to shots.
Lights and Gobos
The Lights filter includes 750+ professional digital gobos that you can add to a shot, alter, and quickly swap out to achieve your desired final results. You can also create a custom gobo by using any image on your system to build your very own gobo light filter.
Includes photographic gels, an array of composite blending modes, corner pin and transform tools to position and scale the projected light, an integrated luma matte option, motion blur with shutter angle and phase controls, gobo blur, light displacement that uses the filtered source as a physical displacement map to warp the gobo, and shadow brightness control.
Lens Flares
The Lens Flare filter includes 300+ professionally-designed customizable flares. Includes options like edge trigger that allows the flares to react to scene edges just as it does in the real world, integrated apply modes to blend lens flares naturally, occlusion to automatically hide lens flares behind objects in a scene, and a flicker option to mimic the way light interacts with atmosphere elements.
Want to create your own lens flare? Use the custom Flare Editor that allows you to add or remove elements, build your flare, and save it for future use.
Light Rays & Glows
The Light Rays filter allows you to add heavenly sunbeams/God rays without waiting for the natural phenomena to appear during your shoot. Mimic the look of physical light passing through atmospheric elements like particles, water droplets, and clouds with a user-defined light source positioned anywhere in the frame. Includes integrated shimmer and texture options to generate auto-animating organic-looking light rays.
The Glow filter augments natural light in the filtered source to add just the right amount of glow to the image. Elevate flat or mundane shots to gorgeously deep glowing scenes.
Photographic Gels
The Photographic filter is the exact digital equivalent of the Kodak® Wratten photographic lens gel system beloved by cinematographers around the globe. Features over 200 lighting gels and 95 photographic filters with the same industry-standard names used in production.
Easily warm up a shot with a 22 Deep Orange or 23A Light Red glass filter emulator, cool a scene with L725 Old Steel Blue, isolate the effect to the foreground or background, and carefully control the light exposure.
