Colorist Juan Melara – Three free film print emulation LUTS for Fuji Film 3510, Kodak 2383 and 2393. 3D LUTs or Look Up Tables are nothing more than a table of numbers that apply a color transform to an image.What makes cinematic LUTs unique however is their ability to apply complex color grades that can imitate the look of major motion picture films. Koji Color offers tutorials and user guides for each of their Film Color LUTS & Plugins.
Do you want your project to have that “classic cinema” analog look to it? Then check out these options for film emulation LUTs.
- Koji Color recently announced their Koji LUT Suite aimed at digital filmmakers. Lead by a veteran Hollywood colorist Dale Grahn, who color timed movies for Stephen Spielberg (an avid film preservationist and supporter), Wes Anderson, Ridley Scott and many others, the team at Koji Color aimed at producing 'accurate motion picture film color' for digital filmmakers.
- The collection prepared by FixThePhoto includes 20 Film LUTs in a.CUBE format, which are perfectly suitable for fast video color grading. They have been carefully developed by professionals and can be used by experienced videographers, beginners, bloggers, filmmakers, photographers, travelers – basically everyone, who deals with video editing.
No matter what project you’re working on, at some point you or your client is going to want that production to have more of a “film” look to it. It’s hard to get away from this because the “film” look is engrained within us. Unfortunately, using an actual 35mm cinema camera just isn’t cost effective. That’s why many professionals use digital cameras. But other than the ARRI ALEXA, no digital camera is going to effectively recreate that film look. At least not without help.
Enter: film emulation. During the post-production process, colorists can use film emulation plugins or LUTs to enhance the source footage. Then once this is applied, the final grade process is completed. The end result gives your project the look and feel of classic film stock from Kodak or Fuji.
Let’s check out the three best options available for applying film emulation.
Koji Color
Is there any better source of film emulation than Dale Grahn? Dale is a legendary color timer who has worked on some of the biggest films in the history of cinema. You can see Dale’s color work in Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, Field of Dreams, Toy Story and many more. Dale has worked closely with Koji to develop the Koji Advance software plugin for Premiere Pro CC, Final Cut Pro X, and After Effects CC. Let’s take a look at what Koji Advance really is from Dale Grahn himself.
- Koji Advance: $199
- Koji Studio: $799
Works With: Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, and Final Cut Pro X

VisionColor ImpulZ
The next film emulation tool on our list might be the most flexible in terms of use. Impulz works with nearly every single NLE system on the market, and much like Koji, it simulates classic film stocks from Kodak and Fuji for those softwares. Another attractive aspect of ImpulZ is its list of clientele. This list includes Discovery Channel, NBC, MTV and HBO.
Finally, one thing we can’t ignore: the price. With introductory and pro level price points that aren’t outrageous, ImpulZ may be a quality solution for many professionals.
- Basic: $42
- Pro: $58
- Ultimate: $106
Works With: Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, Speedgrade CC, Photoshop CC, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and DaVinci Resolve
FilmConvert
Last, but definitely not least — FilmConvert. Out of all the film emulation options, FilmConvert gives you the most bang for your buck, as it has an ultimate bundle for $299 that’s compatible with just about every NLE software out there.
The really interesting part about FilmConvert is that it can be used as a standalone software or as a plugin to your current NLE. Let’s take a look at what FilmConvert can do.
- Individual NLE Bundle: $199
- The Ultimate Bundle: $299
Works With: Standalone Software, After Effects CC, Premiere Pro CC, Photoshop CC, Final Cut Pro X, Final Cut Pro 7, Apple Motion, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer.
One Thing to Keep in Mind
Layers Of Color Film
When you want to add film emulation to your arsenal, be sure that your source footage is flat. You want to start from a very generic, level playing field and then let the emulation do a lot of the heavy lifting. If you’re using a DSLR, you may find that your camera is going to give you a very high-contrast look to begin with, so using a film emulation on top of that could make your images look off balance.

Film LUT Pack
It is recommended to apply a LUT film effect to the footage shot outdoors, in daylight, for instance, wedding, beach, fashion, landscape and backlit close-up clips. These effects are also suitable for videos taken indoors, especially if the colors are too cool and blue, and you need to make them warmer.
Our film LUTs will work best for the videos recorded in bright sunlight for the cases when you want to make the footage darker or slightly blur the objects in the background. However, you shouldn’t apply these filters to the videos that are already dark, for instance, shot at night, otherwise, they will look unappealing.
