Thanks for this detailed video! I have the lite version and quite like how it treats the colors of the footage. I'm wondering if there's a setting in the full version where you can just use film box as a color grade tool (having the ability to turn off the grain), because for many of my projects, I can benefit from having the filmbox emulated color, but not the heavy grain.
Filmbox lite - help me, i am trying to understand the benefits of the push/pull process for creative reasons? It looks like a simple contrast slider???
Hi, I’m editing on a M1 Max MacBook Pro and I downloaded the trial version of film box and it won’t play back in real time after a simple film effect on one node. Is that normal? What playback are you getting with all those layers?
That's crazy! It works without any issues and in real time on my MacPro (even with more then one node of Filmbox), but my machine is way more powerful than a MacBook obviously and it's Intel based. You could try to reach out to the team of Filmbox via e-mail. They are usually very responsive and happy to help. My guess would be that the plugin isn't optimized for M1 just yet. But maybe that's also just true for the free version.
@@demystifycolor hi thanks for the reply. I tired it again today and it was playing back a lot better! I have been having all kinds of inconsistencies with the M1 so far
@@TheHitchcockBlues It sucks that you're facing inconsistencies, but I'm happy that it is running perfectly fine now! Enjoy playing around. It's a great piece of software 🙂
this is mind blowing rel good job man question do mind linking the two music videos you graded using film box just those little clips you showed it looks amazing
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it :-) You can watch the mentioned music promos here: ua-cam.com/video/xjjiOvOpbVA/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/OCNbXFljgD4/v-deo.html
Considering Filmbox is much more expensive than Dehancer, do you consider it far better or are they similar? On a budget, would Dehancer be worth it or is it best to just aim for Filmbox? I would love a comparison
Hey! actually this is really hard to answer as they are both pretty different even though they may sound the same according to their promos. First off: Filmbox has some options for ACEScct, but you have to use a custom pipeline and use their plugin as ODT. You can't use it in a project level based ACES workflow with the standard ACES ODT. Also I think if you want to emulate Kodak Vision3 250D stock Filmbox will give you the best results (very subjective, of course). Furthermore Filmbox has the best Halation model at the time being. Dehancer on the other side definitely is the best price/performance wise. They have a unique approach to their profiles which can give really pleasing results, but they are more like "looks" and not "real" film emulation (at least with all the motion picture stocks) if you ask me. That being said, I get really great results out of them anyways. I also prefer the grain of Dehancer over Filmbox. Last but not least I'm not sure if you can build a pipeline for HDR workflows with Dehancer. There are definitely options for it at Filmbox. I hope this helps you. There's also a review of Dehancer on my channel, just in case you haven't seen it yet. You'll also find a discount code there, if you want to go for Dehancer :-)
@@demystifycolor I'm currently working with dehancer and you're absolutely right, dehancer isn't really a film, in my opinion it's just a cheap simulation. Filmbox is very good like real film
@@fashion.photographer I agree with your comment. I've been trying Dehancer, Filmbox, and Look Designer. The only one that stands out, and by far, is Filmbox. I am sticking to it 100%. Wins hands down.

@@loveinthelandfill1124 Hey! Actually this is really hard to answer as they are pretty different even though they may sound similar/the same according to their promos. First off: Filmbox works scene referred and I really love this. Also I think if you want to emulate Kodak Vision3 250D stock as close as possible, Filmbox will give you the best results (very subjective, of course). Furthermore Filmbox has the best halation model at the time being. Dehancer on the other side definitely is the best price/performance wise. You get lots of features which you can all tweak a lot for just 1/3 of the price of Filmbox. They have an unique approach to their profiles which can give really pleasing results, but they are more like "looks" and they do not try to replicate motion picture film negative 1:1. But there's an update with a 2383 print stock profile coming soon. That sounds really interesting! I also prefer the grain of Dehancer over Filmbox. They grain model of Dehancer is just outstanding and probably the best one in a plugin at the time. I'd say that Dehancer is more a "look" plugin where Filmbox actually tried to archive a very scientific replicate of film stock with all their aesthetics. That being said, I get really great results out of both of them and I'd recommend that you get a trial of both and decide on your own. What perfectly fits one may is not the best for another person and vice versa. It all boils down to personal taste and workflow. And it also depends on your projects. Hope this helps you! :-)
That's a bummer! Unfortunately this is just an independent review and I'm not from the VideoVillage team. I'd suggest to reach out to the VideoVillage support. I'm sure they're happy to help😊The only thing that comes to my mind is that you can go into your "Preferences --> Video Plugins" and see if Filmbox is listed there and checked. If it's listed but unchecked just tick it, hit save and restart Resolve. Maybe this does the trick. I hope this helps! Cheers, Nico
Man ist definitiv um einiges mehr eingeschränkt als mit der Vollversion, nichts desto trotzt kann sie aber für manche Projekte funktionieren und völlig ausreichend sein. Für meinen Workflow würde die kostenlose Version nicht wirklich passen, da ich gerne mehr Kontrolle über die verschiedenen Parameter habe, aber vielleicht stört dich das ja gar nicht. Probier's doch einfach mal aus - kostet ja nichts! :-)
I'm not familiar with Cinema Grade, sorry. But Filmbox did a superbe job of profiling actual real motion picture film and made it available for a scene referred workflow. So just by looking at the homepage of Cinema Grade it doesn't seem to be a professional tool, but more like a rip-off gimmick. Filmbox on the other hand is a tool for professional workflows that leads to lovely results.
Amazing tools: filmbox, scatter, screen, lattice …🔥

You're welcome! And yes - that's possible in the paid (full) version. You have way more flexibility with the full version overall :)
