Retrofi Film Emulation PowerGrades

Retrofi Film Emulation PowerGrades are a sophisticated film emulation toolkit designed specifically for DaVinci Resolve to revive the timeless soul of analog cinema in today’s digital workflows. Unlike generic LUTs or complicated node setups, Retrofi is a comprehensive system built from the ground up by filmmakers passionate about authentic film aesthetics.

This collection pays homage to legendary film stocks such as Kodak 500T and Portra 400, available in both 16mm and 35mm formats. The PowerGrades include finely tuned cinematic adjustments like accurate skin tone rendering, balanced shadow detail, and contour curves that bring richness and emotional depth to your footage.

A standout feature of Retrofi is its genuine 16mm and 35mm dynamic grain overlays, which move and shift naturally with changing light—unlike static digital noise—adding authentic texture and tactile quality to each frame. Additionally, the toolkit integrates a highlight bloom and halation simulation engine that replicates the iconic glowing highlights and natural color response of real film stock, delivering a warm and organic glow.

Retrofi also offers on-set monitoring Look Up Tables (LUTs), allowing filmmakers to preview and finalize their film looks in real-time during shooting, significantly reducing post-production time and guesswork. This makes Retrofi ideal for a range of projects including music videos, documentaries, and narrative films seeking an emotional and vintage film look without sacrificing speed or flexibility.

Compatible with all footage types—including Log, Rec709, and RAW—Retrofi requires no extra plugins and works seamlessly on both macOS and Windows platforms. The detailed user guide included ensures filmmakers of all experience levels can achieve professional-grade cinematic results effortlessly.

Retrofi Film Emulation PowerGrades is perfect for filmmakers looking to add nostalgic film character and soul to their digital projects, capturing the essence of analog cinema with modern convenience and precision.
