Procolorist - Genesis 1.2.2 for DaVinci (Mac)

Genesis 1.2.2 by Procolorist is a premium-grade film emulation plugin for DaVinci Resolve (Mac) that allows filmmakers and colorists to replicate the cinematic look of legendary films with unmatched realism. Inspired by the color science behind iconic titles like Joker, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Knives Out, Genesis is built to deliver the genuine photochemical character of film—without the need for excessive tweaking.

Unlike standard plugins that simulate film effects with overlays or LUTs, Genesis models the actual behavior of film stocks, emulating the chemical process that creates film grain, color shifts, and tonal response. The result is a powerful toolkit for anyone seeking a true celluloid aesthetic in their digital workflow.

Genesis features 55 film stocks, including:

42 negative film stocks from Kodak and Fuji

13 print stocks developed for photochemical accuracy

Detailed “Tasting Notes” for each stock to guide creative decision-making

These film stocks are crafted to deliver the authentic color rendering, dynamic range, and texture you’d expect from traditional film workflows, making Genesis a must-have for narrative filmmakers, cinematographers, and post-production artists.
