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

The free demo of AVF FilmLook 5.2.6 for Premiere Pro and After Effects on macOS — 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

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

INSTALLING

Copy AVF FilmLook DEMO.plugin into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore. The kit holds two short install documents — one for copy and paste in the Finder, one with a single line to paste into Terminal — plus the Install & User Guide PDF and the licence agreement. There is no installer, so nothing has to be allowed in System Settings: your Mac simply asks for its password.

It appears under Video Effects → AVP Tools.

TESTED ON
