Film Damage
Found in the ResolveFX Texture category. After you’ve used the new ResolveFX Revival
plug-ins to fix damage in archival footage, you can turn around and use the Film Damage
plug-in to make brand new digital clips look worn, dirty, and scratched instead. When used in
conjunction with the Film Grain and Flicker Addition plug-ins, you can convincingly recreate the
feel of poorly kept vintage archival footage.

Blur and Shift Controls
The three parameters at the top let you alter the foundation of the image to begin creating the
look of an older film.
 Film Blur: Adds just a bit of targeted defocusing to knock the digital sharpness out of
the image.
 Temp Shift: Defaults to warming the image just a bit to simulate the warmer bulb of a
film projector, although you can use it to cool or warm the image in varying amounts.
 Tint Shift: Defaults to yellowing the image to simulate damage to the film dyes, but
you could move the slider in the other direction to add a bit of magenta, simulating a
different kind of dye failure.
Add Vignetting
These parameters simulate lens vignetting darkening the edges of the image.
 Focal Factor: Adjusts how far the vignetting extends into the image.
 Geometry Factor: Affects how dark the vignetting is and how pronounced the edges are.
 Tilt Amount: Affects how balanced the vignetting at the top of the image is versus the
bottom of the image.
 Tilt Angle: Affects how balanced the vignetting left of the image is versus the right, but
only when Tilt Amount is set to something other than 0.
