Film grain for Resolve??
Using Red or Cannon footage, I’m always asked to place film grain on top of the color correction, like Apple Color’s effects. Does Davinci have this option, 3rd party or otherwise, or am I stuck rerendering through FCP filters?

at the moment not inside Resolve. Its a huge request of mine and I know others here have mentioned it. I’ve been creating grain in After effects and then compositing in Resolve but it does take a while to get out of AE and plus you need to know specific lengths etc.
My hope is that this is a feature we’ll see soon

So you create a loop of grain material from AE, then you place it on a top video track somehow?

I did a similar thing to Robbie. I created film grain in After Effects on a 50% grey layer. I rendered out a 30 second chunk. Then I brought that in to a top video track in Resolve and set the blending mode to “overlay” – i was able to control grain intensity by adding contrast to the grain layer.

I did the same thing as you Vlad, but instead of using AE I bought the grain stock from cinegrain and use the three luminance only knobs to control the contrast. It looks more organic to me.
I also hope DaVinci guys will add this feature on the next update.
Best,

If you think about it, that would an awesome feature !
Having like 10 frames of 10 different stocks built into Resolve and use that luma blend technik to keep it real time . That would be a feature weeeell received by users 🙂A slice of color…

wow really surprised it doesn’t have this feature but COLOR does?

In AE is it a plugin or just the built in grain effects. What is the process of getting it out properly with transparency and setting right? I am curious to give it a try in Resolve – would i just keep pasting it over footage on track 2 wherever there are shots that need grain on them?
thanks

Colors take on it is creating the grain in a software module.
If you ok with crunch time and want better results, there is of course Furnace which is better in quality and control.
But the philosophy on Resolve is “Keep it Real time” And I like that.
So having the grain as a video track or memory film and blend it it, based on luma values in the footage will do exactly that.A slice of color…

I wonder if someone could just make lets say 5 versions of some film stock and share.
That would make it eazy for everyone to get nice grains to start with?

I use the samples from the foundry. Theyre great and free: https://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke/assets/
