Osmo Launches Free Film Emulation Right in Your Browser — Videos Never Leave Your Device

Osmo has released Film Emulation, a free browser-based tool for giving video an analog film look. It offers 126 film stocks, ready-made looks and color grading templates, lets you adjust the image manually and export the result at the original resolution. No registration is required, and the service does not add watermarks to the finished video.

The key feature of Osmo Film Emulation is local processing. According to the developers, the source video never leaves the user’s device and is not uploaded to Osmo’s servers. That solves the privacy question and also lets you work with large files without sending them to the cloud first.

The service supports ProRes, H.264, HEVC, DNxHR, MXF and other common formats. Finished video can be saved as MP4 or ProRes 4444 at the original resolution.

Not Just a Set of LUT Filters

The catalog includes emulations of Vision3 50D, 200T, 250D and 500T, the older Vision and Vision2, EXR, Eterna and Reala, as well as popular photo films such as Portra, Ektar, Gold, UltraMax, Superia, Tri-X, HP5, Velvia and Provia.

But the number 126 should not be read as the count of individual real film stocks. Osmo lumps together emulations of specific stocks as well as ready-made styles and color grading templates — for example, 16mm, Super 8, bleach bypass, day for night, faded print and other options.

The developers stress that this is not an ordinary LUT pack. Users can adjust exposure, temperature, tint, contrast, saturation, lift, gamma and print brightness, while grain and halation — the characteristic glow around bright areas — are generated procedurally.

We built the most physically accurate film emulation available. We’re releasing it for free. 126 stocks modeled on real film. Runs directly in your browser, @osmo_studio, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere. Supports ARRI, Sony, Canon, RED, and more. Here’s what it looks like: https://t.co/nfqA6nq6w1

Log Footage From Cameras and iPhone Is Supported

Film Emulation can automatically detect the color profile from a file’s metadata. It supports ARRI LogC3 and LogC4, Sony S-Log3, Canon Log 2/3, RED Log3G10, Blackmagic Film Gen 5, Panasonic V-Log, Fujifilm F-Log and F-Log2, Nikon N-Log, Leica L-Log, DJI D-Log, Apple Log, ACES and DaVinci Wide Gamut. Regular Rec.709 video works too.

That makes the tool especially useful for footage from modern cameras and iPhones shooting Apple Log: before applying a look, Osmo first converts the source out of the relevant logarithmic space.

For a more familiar editing workflow, the company also offers versions of Film Emulation for DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro.

Osmo notes that it is not affiliated with Kodak, Fujifilm, Ilford or other film manufacturers. Their trademarks are used only to denote the visual style the tool tries to reproduce.
