Perfect for Free DaVinci Users

If you're using DaVinci Resolve Free, you may have noticed that our PowerGrades won’t function properly unless you delete the grain node — that’s because the Studio version is required for native film grain effects. These overlays are the perfect solution. Just drop them on top of your footage, set your blend mode to Overlay or Soft Light, and you’re instantly back in the filmic zone — no color node editing required.

Why It’s Different:

This isn’t synthetic grain or a plugin — this is real. Captured directly from motion picture film and curated for modern workflows, these overlays retain every subtle weave, pulse, and imperfection that defines analog. It's the same texture you'd get in-camera… if your camera loaded Kodak.
