AVF FilmLook 5.2.6 DEMO — Premiere Pro & After Effects — Windows (free)

The free demo of AVF FilmLook 5.2.6 for Premiere Pro and After Effects on Windows — print film, film texture and lens optics in one effect, by Anurag — A Video Productionz (@av_filmmakerr).

One effect that works in both apps. FilmLook is the texture half of the pair: grade your colour with AVF FilmGrade, then put FilmLook last for the film itself.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Print — print stock response built from published datasheets: Kodak 2383, Fujifilm 3513, Kodak 2393 and Kodak 5386, plus Linear and Cineon Film Log, with Print White, Exposure, Contrast, Colour Density, Saturation and a Range Limiter.

• Print Tone — Exposure, Midtones, Shadows and Highlights over the print.

• Film Grain — profiles for 8, 16, 35 and 65 mm at ISO 50, 250 and 500; in Custom, Size, Resolution, per-range Shadows / Midtones / Highlights, Chroma, Film Type and Mode.

• Halation — per gauge, each also with a No Backing variant; in Custom, Threshold, Radius, Spread, Strength, Hue and Blue Compensation, with a Show Mask view.

• Bloom — gauge profiles plus Mist Filter Light and Strong; Save Lights, Detail, Saturation and a Show Mask view.

• Film Damage — Super 8, Super 16, Super 35 and 65–70 mm; Dust, Hairs and Scratches with their sizes and lengths, and a Random Amount.

• Film Breath — exposure, contrast and colour drifting as film does, per gauge.

• Gate Weave — horizontal, vertical and rotational weave with Auto Zoom, per gauge.

• Overscan — seven gate formats from Super 8 to 65 mm Anamorphic, four gate shapes, perforations, orientation, scale, offset and gate softness.

• Vignette — Exposure, Size, Feather, Aspect Ratio and Center, with a Show Mask view.

• Monitor — False Color, Show Skin and Clipping views for checking your work.

Every texture section has a Profile and an Enabled switch: pick a film gauge and go, or choose Custom to open the whole section and tune it from that profile's own values. Film Grain and Halation start on at 35 mm; Print is on with no stock chosen, so nothing changes until you pick one.

THE DEMO'S ONE LIMIT

Every control works, with a watermark of plus signs over the picture in the viewer and in renders.

REQUIREMENTS

• Premiere Pro or After Effects 2023 or later

• Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit

• An NVIDIA (CUDA), AMD or Intel (OpenCL) graphics card, with Mercury GPU acceleration on

INSTALLING

Copy AVF FilmLook DEMO.aex into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore. The kit holds two short install documents — 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. There is no installer, so Windows only asks you to click Continue.

It appears under Video Effects → AVP Tools.

TESTED ON

Built from the same code as the Mac version, which is tested in Premiere Pro 2026 and plays back in real time on the GPU. This Windows build has not yet been verified on a retail PC, and After Effects has not been tested on either platform — run the included GPU check first, and tell me if anything does not work.

This is the Windows demo for Premiere Pro and After Effects. The Mac demo and the DaVinci Resolve demos for Mac and Windows are separate free downloads. The full, watermark-free version is coming — follow @av_filmmakerr to hear first.
