About Sheffield Softworks Movie Color

Movie Color applies stylized, cinematic looks to footage in After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. It includes more than 50 preset looks and a custom‑look editor that saves user‑defined settings. Each look can be fine‑tuned per scene or used as a foundation for a new style. The plugin builds two tinted versions of the image and blends them back into the original using adjustable masks that act as stencils. A pre‑processing section provides saturation, brightness, contrast controls, and a Bleach Bypass option. Movie Color runs inside Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, but requires the Noise Industries FxFactory host, which is available as a free download. The last catalog update was 2026‑01‑26.
