Filmbox Looks
Filmbox Pro
3.3.0
29 October 2025
Looks Library
- Access a library of 100+ presets that configure Filmbox Pro’s many parameters to deliver a wide range of commonly needed or hard-to-implement aesthetics - ideal for look development. Apply them as starting points and customize freely.
- This same Looks library powers the new “Filmbox Looks” edition of the plugin. Filmbox Pro contains all the functionality of Looks and can open grades created by Looks.
- Click “Switch to Filmbox Looks” at the bottom of the plugin to open the Looks interface. Select a look and click “Apply to Filmbox Pro” to apply its configuration to Pro for advanced customization. You can also click “Switch to Filmbox Pro” and you’ll return to your previous Pro configuration without changing anything.
8mm
- Set Negative -> Gauge to 8mm for a faithful emulation of shooting on 8mm
- Updated Grain, Halation, Dust, Gate Weave, and (new!) Flicker with 8mm assets
Simple Telecine Curve
- An alternative to the Cinema print system that uses a simple tone curve to prepare the negative scan for display and entirely lacks a color transformation or print color emulation
- Can be customized with Highlight Rolloff, Print-Like Color, and Black Point parameters
- Even more basic than the Extended (Telecine) option in the Cinema print system.
- Produces looks that feel more “dry,” similar to some indie films or older HDTV telecine film transfers, and can be tuned to produce interesting results.
Flicker
- Added Flicker in the Negative module
- Reproduces subtle changes in exposure between frames most prevalent in 8mm cameras
Richness
- Added a new Lab control, “Richness”
- Positive values make muted colors more colorful and skin tones more rich and red.
- Negative values desaturate muted colors.
- Has little influence on already saturated colors.
- Pair with “Vibrance” for especially interesting saturation effects
User Presets
- Import and export the current settings of Filmbox Pro to a “.filmbox” preset file
- Useful for moving plugin settings between Baselight, Resolve, and Adobe products
- Selectively bypass Source, Camera Settings, and Display Colorspace on import
Action Required for Adobe Users
- We had to make a change to our Adobe plugins that unfortunately is not backwards compatible. We do not believe this will ever need to happen again - thanks for bearing with us as we continue to learn about the Adobe plugin ecosystem!
- Replace Filmbox Pro in any existing Premiere or AE projects with this new version. Filmbox Pro 3.2.6 for Adobe will continue to be available for users that need access to it. Just open the Video Village Plugins app, select “Adobe” and click Settings -> Install Other Version -> 3.2.6
2.5.2
26 September 2025
- (Baselight, macOS) Fixed memory leak issue that could occur in certain scenarios
- (Baselight) Fixed an issue where after using “Reset Operator Entry” on Filmbox, a new grain frame would be selected anytime a parameter changed
- (macOS) Metal 4 / macOS 26 support
- Better log file organization especially in multi-host situations
3.2.4
26 September 2025
- Dust is now (correctly) blurred to match the grain’s softness setting
- (Baselight, macOS) Fixed memory leak issue that could occur in certain scenarios
- (Baselight) Fixed an issue where after using “Reset Operator Entry” on Filmbox, a new grain frame would be selected anytime a parameter changed
- (macOS) Metal 4 / macOS 26 support
- Better log file organization especially in multi-host situations
3.2.2
3 September 2025
- Added 65mm presets for Halation, Grain, and Gate Weave.
- ACES linear input spaces now support more highlight headroom (up to LogC4).
- (Baselight) Changed the working space from “LogC4 / Arri Wide Gamut 4” to “Linear / Arri Wide Gamut 4” to prevent banding caused by LogC4 conversions. The banding was only noticeable using (very) extreme color grading operations. This change does not affect the look of existing grades, except removing unnecessary banding artifacts.
3.2.0
25 August 2025
- Added a brand new user guide for Filmbox Pro! Access it from the plugin directly by clicking Filmbox -> Utility -> View User Guide or from our website.
Acutance
- Added “Halo” controls to Increase or decrease the halo / “Mackie lines” around high-contrast features, low values focus the fine detail boost on subtle tonal variations, high values let high contrast features get spicy.
- Added Fine Size control
- Added a “Neutralize Balance” control that removes the tonal color bias (like cold shadows / warm highlights) without altering other aspects of print color rendition.
Grain
- Added RGB “Channel Mix” controls to allow changing the strength of the grain in each color channel separately.
New Lab Controls
- Enhanced Split Tone with controls for Highlight/Shadow Intensity, Pivot, and Deadzone Width
- Added a “Neutralize” parameter for Vision3 stocks (though most are already quite neutral).
- Added an “Invert” checkbox for Printer Lights. Uncheck it for a traditional printer lights experience.
UI Tweaks
- Moved all of the groups in Negative -> Advanced Settings into the top-level Negative group in an effort to reduce clutter.
- Custom Print are now always visible. This will help you see what’s going on under the hood when the Print Style is changed.
- (Resolve) Moved Export LUT and Help groups into a single group at the bottom called “Utility”
- Improved Tool Tips
Bugs
- (Baselight) Fixed an issue that could introduce additional banding in shadows due Filmbox requiring a LogC4 working space. This banding was only visible with extreme color operations. Some banding will still occur due to the working space -> LogC4 conversion. We are working on a more wholistic fix soon!
3.1.0
17 August 2025
- The first public release of Filmbox Pro! Learn more about it in our blog post.
2.3.3
16 May 2025
Features
- (Baselight) Support for rendering thumbnails in Baselight TWO
- (Baselight) Support for generating LUTs in future versions of Baselight
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a rendering issue with old NVIDIA GPUs
- (macOS, Baselight) Fixed issue where the plugins would report incorrect VRAM requirements
- (DaVinci Resolve) Handle rendering errors more gracefully by adding a watermark to signal that the plugin cannot render.
2.0.0
11 September 2023
WARNING: This update may slightly alter existing grades.
Filmbox 2.0 contains important refinements to the color pipeline and “Halation and Grain Only” mode. If you are in the middle of a project you may want to stay on your current version until it’s done. You can roll back to version 1.9.1 at any time by selecting “Install Alternate Version” from the Video Village Plugins app.
Color Pipeline
- Gamut Compression has been added to prevent artifacts that could occur with highly saturated scene values.
Halation & Grain Only mode
- Gamut clipping has been eliminated when working in AWG4 and reduced or eliminated in the other spaces as well.
- Grain chromatic characteristics match the “Full” pipeline more closely.
- Halation is now slightly more saturated and produces slightly smoother results in highlights.
1.8.1
17 July 2023
- New “Extended” Print color science, which you can read about in a post on our blog.
- Faster performance (Windows & Linux)
- Faster load times for newer NVIDIA GPUs (Windows & Linux)
1.5.0
6 May 2022
- Added “(Inaccurate) Rec.709 Gamma 2.4” as a source
- Added ability to export a LUT in “Print Only” mode
- You can now export 33x LUTs
- Added “RCM HDR” and “RCM SDR” output colorspaces to aid in some workflows
- Changed “DaVinci Intermediate” source name to “DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate”
- Updated User Guide
1.4.0
29 May 2021
WARNING: This update may slightly alter existing grades.
Filmbox 1.4.0 contains important refinements to the color pipeline. If you are in the middle of a project you may want to stay on your current version until it’s done. Starting with 1.4.0, Filmbox will track the color pipeline version so that future refinements to the pipeline won’t alter existing grades. Contact us if you need to roll back to 1.3.8.

- Fixed a DaVinci Intermediate inaccuracy
Color Pipeline
- Improved handling of highly saturated values and reduced banding sometimes visible in gradients of bright saturated tones
- Fixed an issue with gamut hard-clipping on some imagery especially in blue tones
ACES
- Fixed an inaccuracy with the ACES SDR outputs
- Added the ability to choose whether or not Filmbox counteracts the dim surround compensation that is part of some ACES ODTs (see ACES section in user guide)
