Film emulation isn't perfect . . .
But it should be. You should be able to get the look you want every time.
Too many struggle with landing the right look and usually end up destroying a great video with film emulation that does not look real.
Just add grain and save, right?
PixelTools Film Lab for DaVinci Resolve is film emulation simplified. It allows artists to easily apply the unique halation, grain, and color response of motion picture film to digital captured footage using *only* the tools natively available within DaVinci Resolve.
These tools are going to change how you work in Davinci Resolve for the better!
As with all PowerGrades, every aspect of the look can be adjusted to taste for the project.
Fabulous & one of the essentials even for junior colorists! Took me more than months to test tons of presets. Being a junior colorist their presets helped me a lot to cut down the extra time to create look, elements manually. Even some of the presets like emulations are equivalent to some of the 3rd party plugins that cost way more than the complete package sold by pixel tools. Needless to say, the complete non-destructive workflow & ready-made node tree I can't compare with any other similar product available on market.
A must-have for serious colorists!
PixelTools is a must-have utility anywhere I work. It’s among the first group of PowerGrades I reach for when a client demands something unique and interesting.
Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
What can I say… It’s really easy to apply & very flexible. I love the fact that you don’t need any plug ins.
And if you take a look under the hood ( node tree construction… application of the different tools of DaVinci and so on)…
which is something you can not do with plug ins. ( I mean how they actually work under the surface). I, for my part, have gained a lot of insight from it.. Again thanks for doing this stuff!
Wonderful tool! This tool is such a great starting point for a grade. It gives you so much more flexibility than a lut, and I love being able to explore the structure and the content of the nodes.
What is a PowerGrade preset?
PowerGrades are pre-created looks saved for DaVinci Resolve, similar to a presets in other applications. They contain everything we carefully designed to create a unique look or tool.
After you apply a PowerGrade, you can view every adjustment the makes up the effect and customize accordingly. PowerGrades offer you maximum flexibility within your color grading workflow, especially when compared to LUTs or plug-ins.
What are the benefits of PowerGrades over LUTs?
PowerGrade presets allow you full artistic control over your color grade. You can see exactly what happening through each step of the workflow - every tool, every adjustment, and most importantly - the ability to toggle everything on/off. Furthermore, you can change the intensity of each effect to suit the taste of the project.
With legacy "creative look" tools such as OFX plug-ins or look-up tables, the contrast and colorimetry characteristics are locked in place, behind a metaphorical wall, with little control provided to the end user. Sure, with enough knowledge you can reverse engineer them, but isn't that time better spent?
Our tools place a priority on organization, reusability, and an easy end-user experience for artists: approachable yet infinitely customizable. Every single PowerGrade preset has been meticulously labelled, organized and compounded, which makes using, modifying, and combining them a fun and creative process.
