Adding Grain: Question For Current Resolve Users

That’s a bit out of my price range on top of requiring a Windows turn key system. If I need hardcore tools I’ll just use Furnace.

I finally understand how you think this will work, with the “monochrome” example. From my comprehension of the matte /alpha creating a qualification area, you aren’t actually compositing the grain itself into the image, you would be “correcting-in” a grain cutout. That’s not exactly how film grain works, but for a very low budget simulation, it might be close enough. If you were attempting to match emulsions or grade-in a digital image within a film-originated sequence (or vice versa), you’d never be able to mimic the chromatic range of halide clouds for specific emulsions. Creative, though.

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

“correcting-in” is a really good way of putting it. As far as complex grain goes, yeah, I think it would be very difficult to pull off. I’ll probably waste a lot of time trying to though.
