Dehancer — Analog Film for Digital Creators
The professional film emulation plugin used by over 1.4 million creators worldwide. 60+ authentic film stocks, cinematic grain, halation and colour science — built directly into DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Final Cut Pro.
"I've spent years chasing the film look in my digital work. Dehancer is the closest I've ever come to actually achieving it."
Gear and Tech is a platform built by a professional photographer and filmmaker — someone who creates content for a living and has tested the tools that genuinely make a difference to the quality of that output.
This hub exists for one reason: if you're a content creator, videographer, or filmmaker who shoots digital and wants your footage to carry the weight and warmth of real film — Dehancer is the software that makes that happen. I use it in my own workflow. It has replaced my entire LUT pipeline.

Dehancer doesn't apply a colour preset — it scientifically emulates the full photochemical behaviour of real film. Every feature is built from actual densitometry and colorimetry research on genuine film stocks.
From Kodak Vision3 250D to Fuji Eterna 500T — each profile is scientifically modelled from real film. Select a stock and your footage responds the way that film actually responds to light.
Grain profiles for 8mm, 16mm, 35mm and 65mm formats at ISO 50, 250 and 500. Grain interacts with the luminance and colour of your image — not a static overlay. It breathes like real film.
The warm red-orange halo around bright light sources that defines cinematic footage. Dehancer models both optical bloom and emulsion halation — 8 profiles covering every major film format.
Preserves highlight gradation the way real film does — gentle rolloff instead of hard clipping. Blown-out skies become recoverable. Transforms how S-Log and LOG footage looks after grade.
Simulate the authentic artefacts of physical film — dust, hair, scratches, gate weave and film breath. Four film format profiles covering the imperfections that make archival footage feel alive.
Apply print stocks Kodak 2383 and Fujifilm 3513 to complete the theatrical pipeline. Export the entire look as a LUT for use anywhere in your workflow or client deliveries.
Dehancer fits directly into your existing editing pipeline. No external app, no export roundtrip — install, apply, and grade.
Head to dehancer.com and download the correct installer for your host — DaVinci Resolve OFX, Premiere Pro / After Effects, or Final Cut Pro. A free trial with watermark is available before you buy. Use code GEARANDTECH at checkout for 10% off.
In DaVinci Resolve, drag Dehancer onto a colour node in the OFX panel. In Premiere Pro, place it on an adjustment layer spanning your timeline. In Final Cut Pro, apply it as an effect. One application transforms the entire sequence.
Browse 60+ profiles from iconic cinema and photography emulsions. Each has its own colour signature, contrast curve, and grain structure — Kodak Vision3 500T for moody interiors, Fuji Eterna 250D for daylight, Kodak Portra 400 for warm portrait and wedding work.
Adjust grain intensity, halation radius, bloom softness, film compression, overscan, and gate weave. Every control is non-destructive and adjustable at any point — subtle and refined or full analogue texture depending on your creative intent.
Render your project with the film look baked in, or use Dehancer's LUT Generator to export the complete grade for use in other applications or client deliveries. Your work looks like it was shot on film — because the science behind it is real.
Everything from honest reviews and platform tutorials to buyer guides and film stock breakdowns — all with your exclusive discount code GEARANDTECH.
