OpenEmulsion’s first public release: free, open-source film emulation for DaVinci Resolve.

Features

  • Independently enabled Film Color, Film Development, Print, Halation, Aura, Bloom, and Grain modules.
  • Six creative negative families, including monochrome.
  • Full, Standard, Extended, and Custom print styles.
  • Adjustable procedural grain, film-gauge presets, and channel intensity controls.
  • Smooth halation, independent Aura, and linear-light Bloom.
  • Push/Pull, Color Richness, and Split Tone.
  • Common camera and working color spaces, including ARRI Alexa LogC3 / Wide Gamut 3 (EI 800).
  • OpenCL acceleration with a multithreaded CPU fallback.

Installation

  1. Close DaVinci Resolve and extract the ZIP.
  2. Copy the entire OpenEmulsion.ofx.bundle folder into:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins
  3. Restart Resolve and find OpenFX > OpenEmulsion > OpenEmulsion.

See the included INSTALL.md for setup, updates, and troubleshooting. No compiler or DCTL is required.

Requirements and Limitations

  • Windows x64 only. No macOS or Linux binaries.
  • Tested with Resolve 21.1.1 and AMD OpenCL.
  • OpenCL acceleration requires host-provided OpenCL buffers; CUDA and Metal are not implemented.
  • Other Resolve versions and NVIDIA/Intel GPU paths need community testing.
  • This is an unsigned, experimental build. Test on non-critical projects and keep backups.
  • Film profiles are original creative approximations, not measured film-stock calibrations.

Package Contents

The ZIP includes the built plugin, documentation, matching project source, and license notices.

OpenEmulsion is licensed under MPL-2.0.

Please report reproducible issues with your Resolve version, GPU/driver, color-space settings, and steps to reproduce.
