The original purpose of [Filmbox](https://videovillage.com/filmbox) was to bring extremely accurate and complete film emulation to high-end cinema production.

Today it’s trusted on the biggest shows and movies, and with our [recent launch of Filmbox Pro](https://videovillage.com/blog/2025/08/18/filmbox-pro) it has given professional colorists and filmmakers an even deeper toolset for crafting photochemical color, texture, and behavior.

But! Since the beginning, people have managed to use Filmbox on music videos, weddings, reels, home movies - anywhere there’s a moving image.

There are indeed no small projects, only small budgets.

With that in mind, we’ve been working on a streamlined way to bring the same photochemical fidelity to more sets, more timelines, and more creators of every kind.

## Meet _Filmbox Looks_

Filmbox Looks is centered around a library of 101 genuinely useful presets, built on real stocks and tuned for specific aesthetics and purposes. Simple controls let you adapt each look to your needs.

Under the hood it runs the same ultra-organic spatial, textural, and photometric processing as Filmbox Pro. It’s also fully compatible with Pro for advanced customization and high-end post.

**If you already have Filmbox Pro, simply update to 3.3 or above to get access to all the Filmbox Looks features! When using Filmbox Pro, click “Switch to Filmbox Looks” to choose a look, and “Apply to Filmbox Pro” to bring all those settings into Filmbox Pro.**

## The Looks

The Looks Library is organized into 11 families of looks with specific purposes.

The core families are arranged _from least-filmy to most-filmy_ to give a lot of choice to the workhorse aesthetics that anchor most work:

- **Clean & Commercial**
 A hint of filmic-ness with natural color, neutral whites, and minimal grain/halation; great for product and brand work. _(Includes Pop and Beauty spatial-processing variants.)_
- **Idealized 35mm**
 Film-like color and tonality with more controlled characteristics.
- **Full 35mm**
 Maximum authenticity: full photochemical color response, gate weave, grain, halation, and the occasional speck of dust.

Then, for stronger vibes and nostalgia:

- **16mm**
 Gritty indie energy, bigger grain, dreamy halation, strong weave.
- **8mm**
 Nostalgic charm with dramatic halation, gritty grain, smudgy dust, and flicker.

The remaining six families are built around specific _aesthetics_:

- **Pastel & Low-Contrast**
 soft, airy palettes
- **Photography**
 popular still-photo negatives, including CineStill variants
- **Iconic**
 homages to distinctive movie looks
- **Vintage Cinema**
 period-evocative stocks
- **Black & White**
 monochrome imaging across eras
- **Extreme**
 bold, unconventional emulsions with wild character

## Controls

Balance the image with scene-referred **Exposure** , **Color Temp** , and **Tint**.

Shape it with **Contrast** and **Vibrance**.

Then fine-tune spatial traits of the Look with **Grain Amount** , **Halation Radius** , **Gate Weave Intensity** , **Dust Intensity** , and **Flicker Intensity** (when present).

## Platforms

Filmbox Looks and Filmbox Pro now support **Adobe Premiere Pro** and **After Effects** , in addition to **DaVinci Resolve** and **Baselight**.

You can also export plugin configurations as **.filmbox** files that travel across platforms. An editor using Filmbox Looks in Premiere could send a grade directly to a colorist using Filmbox Pro in Resolve or Baselight.

## Seamless path to Filmbox Pro

**Projects created in Filmbox Looks open directly in Filmbox Pro -** no conversion required. And the full purchase price of Filmbox Looks can be credited toward Filmbox Pro.

We’re so excited to share Filmbox Looks with you, and we hope you like it!
