Film Glow
One of my favourite plug-ins I have used for years in SpeedRazor and in PremierePro 1.5 is FilmFX from BigFX.
They haven’t been returning emails or phone calls for a long time so I am assuming they are out of business even though their website still works.
This hasn’t been a huge problem until now but I just installed Premiere2 on my system and then FilmFX. FilmFX killed Premiere. I had to uninstall and reinstall Premiere.
Does anyone know of a good film look plugin for Premiere. I am mostly interested in the “film glow” part of it at the moment.

Digital Film Tools has an excellent plug-in called 55mm. I does glows and a whole lot more and works well in PPro 2 – highly recommended. https://www.digitalfilmtools.com/55mm/

thanks Lance
this is just what I am looking for.
I notice that there is no plug-in listed for PPro2
Is it the After Effects one that you have used?Ken Adolph

Yes. You can load it for both AE and PPro. You’re really gonna like all the features it has.

Thanks Lance,
I downloaded the trial of 55mm & Digital Film Lab and they are awesome.
I just placed my order for the bundle including both plug-ins.
This is one of the best filter packages I have ever seen.Ken Adolph

Yeah I also have Digital Film Lab and highly recommend it. It takes a different approach than 55mm and gives you every possible control over every aspect of the picture vs. 55mm’s presets (which of course are completely customizable).

Sapphire has a film-look plugin which works with Premiere Pro 1.51, (don’t know about PP 2.0) and AE/Combustion.
It’s nice, and very fast. Has a nice glow.
It’s probably not as nice as the aforementioned, but it’s good for quick jobs. Sapphire also has many other plug-ins, some I find indispensable. (Edge Rays, matte tools, et al.)

Yes they are great plugins and work well in PPro2, but they render INCREDIBLY slowly. The exact opposite of Magic Bullet.

Sapphire works great in 2.0 and you can watch them in near realtime (depending on your system) after applying the effect. They are available in 4 modules – the only reason I didn’t mentio them is they cost far more than 55mm and you need the entire collection to surpass 55mm in features. The Sapphire FilmEffect is also outstanding (part of Box 2 – Stylize).

They do render very slow and even slower if you check the force 16 bit rendering option – but worth the wait.
