<\/a><\/p>\nWhat is FilmConvert?<\/h2>\n
Film responds to colors differently than video, and FilmConvert lets you pick specific film stocks to emulate. It feels more like a system than an add-on plugin, in that it reacts to what you choose as your “source camera”. This means that you get a specific response to your source footage.<\/p>\n FilmConvert supports most digital camera formats<\/a> (Arri, RED, Black Magic, DSLR’s, Go Pro) including the Blackmagic Pocket Camera Film setting.<\/p>\n If \u00a0you are using DSLRs, there are several third parties that make Picture Styles so you can have more control over your image in Post and they work hand in hand with FilmConvert (VisionColor<\/a>, Marvels<\/a>\u00a0and Technicolor<\/a> for Canon, Flaat <\/a>for Nikon).<\/p>\n FilmConvert works in Premiere Pro, FCP, Motion, Resolve, After Effects, Photoshop and Sony Vegas<\/strong>. That it works in so many apps makes it very useful for freelancers like myself. The job I’m on generally determines what software I use, so it is nice to have the flexibility \u00a0to use FilmConvert in any of those for one price ($299). Additionally, it now works in DaVinci Resolve 10 Lite (which added OFX support that FilmConvert uses), which is very cool as it is a popular and free color grading app.<\/p>\n Whether or not the $299 price tag is worth it for you definetly depends on the type of work that you’re doing. Obviously not all projects require or benefit from a film look, but for indie filmmakers looking to give digital video that organic effect, FilmCovert is a worthwhile option.<\/p>\nFIlmConvert<\/a> is a Film Emulation plug-in and stand alone app. It is designed to emulate the color and grain of popular film stocks from Kodak and Fuji.<\/strong><\/p>\n
