AVF FilmGrade 5.1.6 DEMO — Premiere Pro & After Effects — Mac (free)

The free demo of AVF FilmGrade 5.1.6 for Premiere Pro and After Effects on macOS — try the whole grade on your own footage before you buy.

One effect that works in both apps. AVF FilmGrade is a complete cinematic colour grade, 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 adjustment layers.

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

• Premiere Pro or After Effects 2023 or later

• macOS 11 Big Sur or later — Apple Silicon and Intel

• A Metal-capable GPU

INSTALLING

Copy the effect into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore. Two short install documents are in the kit — one for copy and paste in the Finder, one with a single line to paste into Terminal — along with the Install & User Guide PDF. There is no installer, so nothing has to be allowed in System Settings.

It appears under Video Effects → AVP Tools.

TESTED ON

Premiere Pro 2026 on macOS (Apple Silicon): the same picture as the DaVinci Resolve edition, playing back in real time on the GPU. Not yet tested in After Effects.

This is the Mac demo for Premiere Pro and After Effects. The Windows demo and the DaVinci Resolve 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.
