Print films

Four prints. One click.

Same frame, same grain and halation — only the print film changes. Each print is built from the film's published technical data. Plus Linear and Cineon Film Log for your own print workflow, and Print Tone to win back exposure, midtones, shadows and highlights after the print.

Monitor

Expose skin where it belongs.

False Color paints exposure in bands, with a SKIN marker on the legend so you can place faces before you add the film. Clipping shows what's lost; Show Skin shows what's protected.

Questions

Good to know

When is the full version out?

Soon. Until then the DEMO has every feature, with a watermark. Follow @av_filmmakerr for the launch.

Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio?

No. AVF FilmLook works in DaVinci Resolve 18 or later, free or Studio.

Can I use it with AVF FilmGrade?

Yes — that's how it's meant to be used. Put AVF FilmGrade first for the colour and AVF FilmLook after it for the print film and texture.

Which versions are there?

The FilmLook DEMO is available for DaVinci Resolve and for Premiere Pro & After Effects, each on Mac and Windows. The Premiere Pro & After Effects version is one effect for both apps.

Is it affiliated with Kodak or Fujifilm?

No. The print films are emulations made from each film's published technical data. Kodak and Cineon are trademarks of Eastman Kodak Company; Fujifilm is a trademark of FUJIFILM Corporation.

Start with the colour

Grade first, then add the film.

AVF FilmGrade puts the picture in place: Grade, Hue and Density pages in one node.
