Film/Emulsion - Film Emulation for DaVinci Resolve

• Real, Photometrically Profiled Film Emulations - Built from precise photometric data for true, scene-referred motion picture film reproduction. Every stock has been meticulously profiled to deliver authentic color, contrast, and tonal response that behaves like real film.
  
• Negative Film Stocks - Experience legendary negative stocks, from the modern Kodak® Vision3 series to beloved classics like Vision2, Ektachrome, Fuji Eterna, and Double-X (B&W). You'll even find rare photographic stocks such as Kodak Aerocolor IV and AgfaPhoto Vista 200. Note: Some stocks limited to Pro version only.
  
• Film Print Stocks - Recreate the cinematic finishing touch with the most widely used print stocks in film history — Kodak 2383, Kodak 2393, and Fuji 3510. Note: Some stocks limited to Pro version only.
  
• Physically Modeled Halation Simulation - Halation/Tool™ goes beyond a simple glow effect. It simulates the actual physics of light scatter within the film base, including anti-halation backing behavior. Control scatter width, reflection intensity, emulsion crosstalk, and more for a result that behaves just like real film.
  
• Photochemically Accurate Film Grain - Grain/Tool™ models grain as a function of the emulsion itself, not as a texture overlay. Dye layer simulation, generational loss, and silver halide response work together through a physically grounded integration process to produce grain that moves, breathes, and feels like a natural part of the image, because it is.
  
• Node-Based Design for Deeper Control - Film/Emulsion is node-based, offering more control and flexibility than traditional plug-in approaches. You get full, independent control over the negative, print, halation, and grain emulation directly within the Resolve node tree, so you can refine, reorder, and adjust as needed.
  
• Works with Your Workflow, Not Against It - Designed for professional colorists. Four custom-built DCTL plug-ins give you full, independent control over the negative, print, halation, and grain processes, so you can drop Film/Emulsion into your existing workflow without missing a beat.
  
• Designed for Modern Color Management - Built specifically for modern scene-referred workflows, such as DaVinci Wide Gamut and ACES.
  
• Broad Camera Support - Works seamlessly with ARRI, RED (IPP2), Sony, Canon, Panasonic, BMD, Apple Log, DJI, plus any input supported by Resolve Color Management (RCM) or Color Space Transforms (CST).
  
• Crafted by Professional Colorists & Color Scientists - Developed by working colorists and color scientists for real-world film, TV, commercial, and streaming workflows.
  
• No Hassle Licensing - One-time payment. No subscription. Free updates.
