The Best Film Emulation | Color.io

I have been using Color.io for my film emulation workflow for over 6 months now and I absolutely love it. Colours are spot on and there is zero lag when using the application. There are so many different film emulations built in color.io.

Do you think the film industry uses this for Hollywood films or they just grade from scratch.

[@PeterDiBussolo]

Absolutely, most of the times they will use a real film camera tho.

[@VicerFx]

Nope, they use to hire color scientists to develop luts and tools for them

[@nicholasbrecken7357]

​@@VicerFxtrue, but this tool is going to help a lot of people understand the look Dev phase. I still like doing it in resolve with a color chart. Definitely gonna test this out

[@geothearchitect]

When I export the lut with halation and grain added, it doesn't get applied to the lut for some reason. Why is that? Also, I tried exporting the video with them on, and it doesnt export the video at all.

[@Colorio]

LUTs can only encode color transforms. Halation, Grain and other effects can not be shared across applications with LUTs but have to be implemented directly by an application. What browser are you trying to export the video from? It's still an experimental feature but should work in Google Chrome on desktop devices.

[@geothearchitect]

@Colorio Yea I figured. I use Google Chrome I believe but I'll double check.

[@timmylima]

Great info thanks!Can you share what are the project settings in terms of color management?Does this function with an IDT and ODT and how?Tried this with F-log but didn't really get good results :/ thanks again

[@timmylima]

*I mean with resolve

[@user-ok8xx8wf2c]

it is impossible to emulate film with 3DLUTs

[@liamb2064]

I see the colors change. But does it also add halation and grain ??

[@PeterDiBussolo]

Yes I just don’t use them

[@liamb2064]

@@PeterDiBussolo yes it adds halation and grain? do you manually turn it off or something?

[@PeterDiBussolo]

@liamb2064 I turn it off in color.io

[@user-wq8hr4rw3w]

I see the colors and just bought it and have followed the steps exactly from site and also here. I am also using Davinci resolve and my lut when exported does not look like the one I did in color io and def no hallation came with it. I been trying for two hrs now . If you can please help me

[@PeterDiBussolo]

@@user-wq8hr4rw3w are you using color.io in a web browser or in the app

[@VicerFx]

Is there any comparison between this and real film?

[@PeterDiBussolo]

Not that I know about
