AVF FilmGrade 5.1.6 DEMO — DaVinci Resolve — Windows (free)

The free demo of AVF FilmGrade 5.1.6 for DaVinci Resolve on Windows — try the whole grade on your own footage before you buy.

AVF FilmGrade is a complete cinematic colour grade in a single node, by Anurag — A Video Productionz (@av_filmmakerr): three grading engines in one plugin, applied in order, so you get the whole look from one control panel instead of a stack of nodes.

EVERY GRADING CONTROL WORKS

• 1 · GRADE — Exposure, Highlights, Blacks, Temperature, Contrast, Pivot, Midtones, Film Look tints with Split, Clean Whites & Blacks.

• 2 · HUE — hue and amount for Shadows, Midtones and Highlights, plus all eight colours, each with a Show view.

• 3 · DENSITY — Colour Density per channel, Richness, Film Contrast, Gamma, Print Density, Shadow Toe, Highlight Rolloff.

• Skin Tone — the full measured skin selection with Show Skin, Skin Tone Target, Skin Range, Skin Blur, Skin Hue, Skin Saturation and Skin Exposure.

• Input and Output Colour Space, Tone Mapping, and My Presets with the three starter looks.

THE TWO LIMITS

• A watermark of plus signs over the picture, in the viewer and in renders.

• No Export LUT.

Nothing else is held back. The demo installs beside the full version, so your test grades carry straight over when you buy.

REQUIREMENTS

• DaVinci Resolve 18 or later — free or Studio

• Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit

• An NVIDIA (CUDA), AMD or Intel (OpenCL) graphics card

INSTALLING

Copy the plugin folder into C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins. Two short install documents are in the kit — one for copy and paste in File Explorer, one with a single line to paste into PowerShell — plus a GPU check tool and the Install & User Guide PDF. Windows asks you to click Continue; there is no installer to allow.

In Resolve it appears under OpenFX → AVP Tools → AVF FilmGrade 5.1.6 DEMO.

TESTED ON

Built from the same code as the Mac version, which is tested and plays back in real time on the GPU. The Windows build has not yet been verified on a retail PC — run the included GPU check first, and tell me if anything does not work.

This is the Windows demo for DaVinci Resolve. The Mac demo and the Premiere Pro & After Effects demos are separate free downloads. Ready for the real thing? The full version removes the watermark and adds Export LUT, with no licence keys and no activation.
