The story
The color grade I use on my own commercial work.
Film Core is not a filter. It is the color grading bundle I reach for on real client work, packed so you can drop it onto your own footage and get the same base in seconds.
Both PowerGrades are full node trees inside DaVinci Resolve. Nothing is baked in that you cannot reach, so you can shift warmth, grain or contrast to taste and see exactly how the look is made.

FAQ
What is included in the Film Core bundle?
One purchase gives you two PowerGrades, Film Core Pro and Film Core Basic, plus a DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate LUT and a standard Rec.709 film emulation LUT, an installation guide, Academy access and workflow tutorials. Everything ships in a single download, and every future update is free. The LUTs are part of the bundle, not separate products.
What is the difference between Film Core Basic and Pro?
They are not separate products. Both PowerGrades come inside the same bundle. Film Core Basic is optimized for DaVinci Resolve Free, stays lightweight, uses no Resolve FX and is perfect for quick edits. Film Core Pro is the full cinematic film emulation with an advanced node tree, grain and halation. It uses DaVinci Resolve Studio features for maximum image quality. You get both, so you can start today and grow into Pro.
Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio?
Not for Film Core Basic. It is built to run fully inside the free version of DaVinci Resolve, so you can grade today at no extra cost. Film Core Pro uses Resolve FX such as film grain and halation, which require DaVinci Resolve Studio. Since both PowerGrades are in the bundle, the choice is yours and nothing is locked away behind a second purchase.
Which cameras does Film Core work with?
Any camera whose footage can be transformed into DaVinci Wide Gamut. That includes Sony S-Log3, Canon C-Log, DJI D-Log, Panasonic V-Log, ARRI LogC, RED Log3G10, Blackmagic Film Gen5, Fujifilm F-Log and more. You set your camera color space once at the first node and the grade follows, so the same look holds across every camera on a project.
Can I use the LUTs in Premiere Pro or Final Cut?
Yes. The standard Rec.709 LUT works in any software that supports LUTs, including Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and CapCut. It usually looks best at around 50 percent intensity, which keeps skin tones natural, and you can push or pull it however you like from there. The Wide Gamut Intermediate LUT is there for a full DaVinci Resolve workflow.
Is it just a LUT?
No. The heart of the bundle is two full PowerGrades, the complete node trees I build in DaVinci Resolve, with every step exposed and editable. A LUT is a single fixed conversion, so the LUTs are included as a convenient way to carry a version of the look into other editors, but the PowerGrade is where the real, adjustable grade lives.
Does the Academy come with it?
Yes, Academy access is part of every purchase. It covers the installation walkthrough, the complete grading workflow, color management setup, adapting the grade to different cameras, fixing difficult footage and the thinking behind the look. New lessons are added over time and appear in your access automatically.
Do I get updates?
Yes. When the grade or the LUTs are refined, you get the updated files at no additional cost, and new Academy lessons show up in your access. Buy once and the bundle keeps getting better.
