AVF FilmLook 5.2.6 — Mac & Windows — DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro & After Effects

Print film, film texture and lens optics in one node for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and After Effects on Mac and Windows, by Anurag — A Video Productionz (@av_filmmakerr).

FilmLook is the texture half of the pair: grade your colour with AVF FilmGrade, then put FilmLook last for the film itself. This is the full version — no watermark.

• 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.

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.

YOUR LICENCE

Your purchase comes with a licence key, emailed with your receipt. Click License at the top of AVF FilmLook's controls, paste the key and click Activate. It needs the internet once and takes a second or two.

• One licence works on 2 computers in any mix of Mac and Windows, and covers the Resolve and the Premiere / After Effects builds.

• License → Deactivate This Mac (This PC on Windows) frees a place for another computer.

• License → Manage My Macs… (Manage My PCs… on Windows) opens your licence page, where you can see your computers and remove one.

• Offline it keeps working for 60 days after its last check, then comes back by itself when the computer is online again.

REQUIREMENTS

• DaVinci Resolve 18 or later (free or Studio), or Premiere Pro / After Effects 2023 or later

• Mac: macOS 11 Big Sur or later — one build for Apple Silicon and Intel, with a Metal-capable GPU

• Windows: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), with an NVIDIA (CUDA), AMD or Intel (OpenCL) graphics card

INSTALLING

No installer in any kit, so nothing has to be allowed in System Settings or SmartScreen: your Mac simply asks for its password, and Windows asks you to click Continue.

• Mac, DaVinci Resolve: copy AVF_FilmLook.ofx.bundle into /Library/OFX/Plugins. It appears under OpenFX → AVP Tools → AVF FilmLook 5.2.6.

• Mac, Premiere Pro & After Effects: copy AVF FilmLook.plugin into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore. It appears under Video Effects → AVP Tools.

• Windows, DaVinci Resolve: copy the AVF_FilmLook.ofx.bundle folder into C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins.

• Windows, Premiere Pro & After Effects: copy AVF FilmLook.aex into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore.

Each kit has two short install documents — one for copy and paste (in the Finder or File Explorer), one with a single line to paste into Terminal (Mac) or PowerShell (Windows).
