RE:Vision Effects is pleased to announce ARRI Film Lab, the plugin that gives digital images the life and soul of analog film. As exclusive distributor, we are offering ARRI Film Lab through our web store and reseller network.

Key features:

• Provides digital productions of any scale and budget with an authentic celluloid aesthetic
• Based on decades of ARRI expertise in film/digital workflows
• Real-time processing of LogC3/LogC4 RGB images from any camera
• Unique on-set preview simulations coming soon for ARRI cameras
• License-based OpenFX plugin for leading post-production software

ARRI Film Lab is a new software product for post-production that enriches digital images with the look and feel of analog film. ARRI Film Lab draws on the company’s unrivalled expertise to provide easy creative control of the grain, color, halation, and gate weave associated with analog film stocks and post processes. Compatible with RGB images from any camera brought into an ARRI pipeline, Film Lab will soon be complemented by on-set preview capabilities in the latest ARRI cameras.

Built on ARRI’s legacy of film and digital image processing—from the ARRILASER and ARRISCAN to the latest REVEAL Color Science—ARRI Film Lab translates decades of research into a powerful, real-time plugin for today’s post tools. Whether for a high-end movie, streaming series, commercial, corporate project, or low-budget indie, ARRI Film Lab breathes analog life into digital images while maximizing creative control, consistency, and ease of use.

The adjustable settings within ARRI Film Lab comprise the key
characteristics of analog footage processed in a traditional photochemical laboratory. Grain can be set to the equivalent of a 50D, 200T, or 500T negative stock, and color settings encompass different print stocks and processes such as reversal and bleach bypass. The intensity of color and grain can be adjusted incrementally, as can the halation setting—which emulates the red/orange halo around highlights and high-contrast edges caused by light reflecting through film layers—and the gate weave setting, which simulates the slight unsteadiness sometimes seen in film footage.

What makes ARRI Film Lab so user-friendly is the fact that any combination of the plug-in’s settings, at any intensity level, will result in an authentic and pleasing analog feel. Whatever looks have been developed and used on a project—whether LUTs in prep or color grades in post—ARRI Film Lab will respect and complement them. The results will be consistent even if material from different cameras is being mixed, including with latest Panasonic cameras’ optional add-on to support ARRI LogC3.

ARRI Film Lab is available as an OpenFX plugin and is compatible with leading color grading and effects environments including Resolve, Baselight, Scratch, Nuke, Flame and more. Delivering real-time 4K processing of RGB images from ARRI and third-party cameras, ARRI Film Lab supports LogC3 (AWG3) and LogC4 (AWG4) workflows, as well as linear wide-gamut video properly converted on import. It can be used whether the acquisition format was ARRICORE, ARRIRAW, ProRes, or a third-party codec. And as with all ARRI offerings, future-proofing is a priority; Film Lab support for ACES 2.0 is already planned and in the works.

A unique aspect of ARRI Film Lab is that, following an upcoming camera firmware update, non-destructive previews will be viewable on set when recording ARRICORE or ARRIRAW with ALEXA 35 Xtreme or ALEXA 35 cameras. A simulation of the desired film look is achieved in-camera through a combination of ARRI Textures and 3D LUTs, delivering viewfinder and monitor images that give a strong sense of the intended grain and color attributes. No additional hardware is required, and nothing is baked in, so total creative freedom is retained at every stage. Later, in post, the plugin provides even more powerful look refinement options with grain and texture abilities, as well as halation and gate weave.

Bundled with ARRI Film Lab is a special plugin version of the well-established ARRI Look Library, allowing users to explore its diverse range of LUTs in a plugin environment. This provides a new way to access the library’s pre-defined looks, developed by ARRI to suit different environments and production types.

ARRI Film Lab is available now via RE:Vision Effects (revisionfx.com/products/arrifilmlab) and their resellers. Cost-effective licenses for individuals can be purchased on a monthly, annual or permanent basis. Floating licenses for companies with many user seats are priced according to the number of users, with special rates for educational purposes. Contact sales@revisionfx.com for info. The preview function will be enabled in a camera software update released during Q1, 2026.
