    Introducing Red Giant Retrograde

    by

    For the past few months, we’ve been working with the incredible team at Red Giant to help create new tools and effects for Final Cut Pro X. Today we’re excited to announce Red Giant Retrograde.

    Retrograde features 12 different 8mm and 16mm film looks. Created from real analog source material, Retrograde emulates the color, grain and dammage from 60s and 70s era films and home movies. Retrograde allows you to completely customize your look, from the amount of individual film artifacts to the style of grain. Simply drag and drop Retrograde on to your clip to see the results.

    We hope you enjoy Red Giant Retrograde.

    You can download a free trial version of Red Giant Retrograde here.

    Introducing Grain35

    by



    We’re excited to announce that we’ve launched a Kickstarter for our latest project Grain35.

    Grain35 is a set of 35mm and 16mm film grain scans that you can use inside FCP 6, 7, and X, Adobe Premier and Avid Media Composer. There are a bunch of fantastic film grain sets online but many of them are outside the budget of many film makers. We want to create a comprehensive set of film grain scans in both 1080p and 4k. They’ll work with many frame rates. We’re offering 6 different Kodak and Fuji film stocks in both ProRes and h.264.

    We’ve run a bunch of tests and we are more than able to do this, but we do need help with the upfront costs. By supporting our Kickstarter project you’re helping us pay for much of the upfront fees to make this available. If we reach our goal we should be able to get everything to you very quickly.

    We have even more info over at our Kickstarter, so take a look. If you’re interested in Grain35 let people know! We’d love to be able to offer an affordable film grain set!
