LASTFX

LASTFX · OpenFX video plug-ins for DaVinci Resolve

Precision for the shot. Texture for the frame.

LUMERIX matches shots and balances color. GRAINOVA adds controlled film texture and optical finishing. FILMCHECK inspects the result. Three focused OpenFX video plug-ins for DaVinci Resolve, built for video editors, colorists and filmmakers - not photo tools.

The product family

Three tools. Three clear jobs.

LUMERIX

Precision Shot Matching & Color Balance

Pick a reference shot and LUMERIX measures the difference in exposure, contrast, white balance, tint, saturation and tonal color balance - then corrects it, with skin and highlight protection. Press Analyze Reference on the reference shot, then Apply Match on one shot, or run the Batch Match script and press Match Selected Shots to match every other shot in one click. It also works across different scenes: the shot takes on the reference's look. Your own nodes are never touched.

  • Reference frame analysis
  • Exposure, contrast, temperature, tint, saturation
  • Shadow, midtone and highlight balance
  • Skin-tone and highlight protection
  • Match strength, before/after, reset

GRAINOVA

Professional Film Texture & Optical Finishing

Film grain that changes every frame, red-orange halation around real highlights, threshold-based bloom and a soft film response - subtle by default and fully controllable.

  • Luma and chroma film grain
  • Halation and bloom
  • Film response
  • Gate weave, flicker, dust (optional)
  • Temporal consistency, before/after, reset

FILMCHECK

Professional Video Quality Control

Choose the kind of video you are making, and FILMCHECK checks the look and quality of a frame or your whole video the way a professional would, then tells you what to raise, lower or fix. It never changes your grade.

  • Exposure, highlight and shadow check
  • RGB, white balance and saturation
  • Skin tone, estimated noise and smoothness
  • Diagnostic overlays and on-screen report
  • Shot consistency against a baseline

The workflow

One workflow: MATCH, GRADE, FINISH, CHECK

LUMERIX, GRAINOVA and FILMCHECK are built to sit around your normal grade, not to replace it - each plug-in does one job, in order.

  1. MATCH — LUMERIX

    Analyze a reference shot and apply the correction to the shot you're cutting against it, so the sequence reads as one scene before you start grading.

  2. GRADE — DaVinci Resolve

    Grade in Resolve's own color page exactly as you already do. LUMERIX hands you a matched starting point; it does not touch your grading tools.

  3. FINISH — GRAINOVA

    Once the grade is locked, add film grain, halation, bloom and film response last, so the finish sits on top of a stable image.

  4. CHECK — FILMCHECK

    Tell FILMCHECK what kind of video you are making, put it last, and check the finished video: exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, colour, saturation, skin and consistency between shots. It tells you in plain words what to raise, lower or fix; you decide.

LUMERIX

How to use LUMERIX

Two ways. Your own nodes are never touched. Deterministic video analysis, not a black box: the same inputs always give the same result.

  1. Match one shot: Analyze, then Apply Match

    On the shot whose look you want, press Analyze Reference. On the shot to fix, press Apply Match. LUMERIX measures the shot after your own nodes and sets the correction. Check Match shows how well it worked.

  2. Match many shots: one click

    Run Workspace > Scripts > LUMERIX Batch Match. Click the reference shot, mark the target shots (or Select All) and press Match Selected Shots. Each target is matched to the reference as a 3D LUT on one free node, and none of your own nodes are touched. Remove Match takes it off.

  3. Fine-tune (optional)

    Set Match Strength, use Show Original for a before/after check, and adjust any value under ADVANCED > Fine Tune.

What sets it apart

Why focused tools instead of one big one

LUMERIX, GRAINOVA and FILMCHECK are narrow on purpose. Each does one job well rather than trying to be a full grading suite.

Focused, not all-in-one

One plug-in matches shots, one adds texture and optical finishing, one checks the result. There is less to learn, and less that can conflict with the rest of your grade.

Automation that assists, not decides

Apply fills in a measured starting correction or a look preset from real numbers. Every value it sets is then a normal, adjustable parameter - it hands you a start, not a final answer.

Local and deterministic

Analysis and rendering happen on your computer. The same footage and settings always produce the same result, and no footage or reference frame is uploaded to run either plug-in.

Professional output from a simple panel

Each plug-in opens with the handful of controls that define the look; the finer, rarely-touched parameters live in a collapsed Advanced section instead of crowding the main panel.

Performance-conscious design

LUMERIX and GRAINOVA render on all CPU cores and also on NVIDIA GPUs through CUDA when Resolve renders on the GPU. In our benchmarks on one RTX 5060 test PC the GPU path was about 70 to 90 times faster than the CPU path, with the same picture to within rounding. GPU rendering was also checked inside DaVinci Resolve: a frame rendered with CUDA matched the CPU frame. FILMCHECK analyses on the CPU.

How this fits alongside other film-look tools

A factual look at where LUMERIX and GRAINOVA sit next to a few other tools editors and colorists use, based on each product's own public information.

Your footage stays on your computer

All plug-ins process your video locally. Video frames, reference frames and projects are never uploaded. The only network traffic is license activation and periodic validation - a device identifier, the plug-in name and version, and your license key.

Privacy Policy

A free trial that is honest

Every plug-in has a genuine 7-day trial with all features. No watermark, no subscription, no automatic charge. When the trial ends the plug-in stops working and shows a LASTFX watermark on your picture (your footage itself is never changed or deleted) until you activate a license.
