What It Does
This bundle packages three plugins aimed at speeding up color grading with filmic, vintage, and corrective looks. ft-Filmic Contrast Pro adds moody, contrasty grading with channel-specific controls. ft-Technicolor recreates the 2-strip and 3-strip Technicolor styles from films like The Aviator, based on code from VFXTalk and Blender. ft-Auto White Balance corrects white balance by selecting a mid-tone color.
All three work in After Effects and Premiere Pro, letting you apply these grades quickly instead of building them from scratch.
Key Features
ft-Filmic Contrast Pro is the bundle’s main tool. It builds on the Lite version with a faster algorithm, per-channel contrast adjustments, and HSV tweaking. You get direct control over how shadows and highlights respond, making it easier to dial in specific moods without multiple adjustment layers.
ft-Technicolor mimics the color palette of early Technicolor processes. You can choose between 2-strip and 3-strip modes to match different eras of film history. It’s useful for period pieces, music videos, or anything needing that saturated, slightly unreal vintage look.
ft-Auto White Balance offers two methods for correction: Von Kries and Scale RGB. You select a mid-tone color, and the plugin adjusts the rest of the image accordingly. This is helpful when dealing with footage shot without proper white balance settings, where you need to normalize a batch before grading.
Who It’s For
Colorists working on projects with tight deadlines will find the one-click presets save time. Editors looking to add vintage film aesthetics without using LUTs or heavy color correction layers can use ft-Technicolor directly. Anyone dealing with poorly white-balanced footage can use ft-Auto White Balance as a first pass before fine-tuning.
