About FilmConvert Halation (Standalone)

FilmConvert Halation reproduces the red glow that appears around bright parts of an image when footage is shot on film. The effect is caused by light refracting off the film’s anti‑halation backing and back into the red channel, most commonly on bright sources such as lamps, car headlights and neon signs. The plugin can be used as a standalone effect in any workflow and is also offered as an add‑on to FilmConvert Nitrate. View Halation Alone controls let you preview where the effect is applied, and all parameters are fully adjustable. Compatibility includes Adobe CC 2018 and later, DaVinci Resolve 16 and later, and Final Cut Pro 10.6.1 and later. Supported operating systems are macOS 10.15+ (including Apple Silicon) and Windows 10 or 11.
