Slider-by-Slider – Using Resolve’s New ‘Film Look Creator’ ResolveFX

September 5, 2024

Learn to use Resolve's 'Film Look Creator' plugin, slider-by-slider, with tips & advice. Does it compete with Dehancer Pro-style alternatives?


Plus: How Film Look Creator differs from Dehancer Pro and other film emulation plugins

In DaVinci Resolve 19, Blackmagic introduced a film emulation ResolveFX called the Film Look Creator (FLC). This effect is designed as a one-stop-shop for creating a “film” style look, including adjustments for properties like:

  • Grain
  • Blur
  • Halation
  • Vignettes

This Insight explores how to use this ResolveFX, slider-by-slider, and compares it to the widely used third-party film emulation OFX plug-in Dehancer Pro.

Along the way, I’ll share my thoughts on best practices, how to decide if Film Look Creator is right for a particular project, and why you may want to avoid a few of its sliders and instead add them in their own separate nodes.
