Grain effect in Resolve Studio 14?

PostSat Feb 24, 2018 10:09 am

Despite much searching I haven't found an answer to this Question:
What is/are the best way/s to add "film grain" in Resolve Studio 14? Via an OFX plugin perhaps?
I've watched a few tutorials [for older versions of Resolve] in which they added grain by layering and changing blending modes, but the result didn't look very convincing to me.

Hi,

In the studio version, there is an OFX Film Grain for that and quite effective. :)

I rather like the Grain component of the FilmConvert plug-in.

Jim,

I deliberately exaggerated to see this frightful grain. We must test. :)

Scanned grain footage on the top layer, set blend mode to Overlay and adjust opacity to taste. Looks fine. Or, as suggested above, use the built-in plugin for grain on a global node.

Thank you, Jean and others who replied to my question. I don't know why I haven't been able to find any info on the included plugin.
