One node for DaVinci Resolve — Free and Studio — with the optical filters Hollywood puts in front of the lens: Black Pro-Mist, halation, anamorphic streak, star filter and eight more, stackable like real glass. Plus film looks for 18 camera log formats. No LUT folders, no color science homework.
Color page → Effects → OpenFX → search "pulse color". That's the whole hunt.
The filters Hollywood screws on the lens. Stackable, like real glass.
Twelve optical FX, each with its own toggle, freely combinable — the way DPs stack filters on set: Black Pro-Mist · White Pro-Mist · Glimmerglass · Skin Diffusion · Halation · Bloom · Anamorphic Streak · Star Filter (4/6/8 pt) · Enhance · Chromatic Aberration · Vignette · Film Grain. Mist sliders are graded like the physical filters: 0.125 = 1/8, 0.25 = 1/4, 0.5 = 1/2, 1 = full.
The mist family
Black Pro-Mist, White Pro-Mist, Glimmerglass, Skin Diffusion — sliders graded like the physical filters: 0.125 = 1/8, 0.25 = 1/4, 0.5 = 1/2, 1 = full.
Light effects
Halation, Bloom, Anamorphic Streak and a 4/6/8-point Star Filter — measured to behave like the real thing.
Finishing touches
Enhance, Chromatic Aberration, Vignette and Film Grain — all opt-in, all independent.
Real-time playback
LUT-accelerated engine on all CPU cores. Full-speed playback on a 25p HD timeline, no GPU requirements.
Made for Resolve Free
One node that works in the Free version — same node, same looks, on macOS and Windows.
Offline-friendly license
Activate once, work offline for 30 days at a time. Same key as Pulse Edit — one license, the whole suite.
Your camera speaks log. Pulse Color is fluent.
Pick your format, pick a look, done. Every profile is built from measured color science — not eyeballed LUTs.
Six looks. Zero fake grain by default.
Nordic · Cinema Print · Midnight · Daylight · Linen · Amber — print-film rendering chains (cross-talk, highlight desaturation, palette shaping), not Instagram filters. A Look Strength dial blends each from subtle to full. Film character comes from curve, color and light — grain is there if you want it, off if you don't.
Ready in one minute
Grade a clip in five moves
Playback stays real-time on an HD timeline — the color pipeline is a pre-computed LUT, the filters run on all CPU cores. No GPU requirements, no proxies needed.
One license. The whole suite.

Quick answers
What is Pulse Color?
An OFX color-grading plugin for DaVinci Resolve — Free and Studio — that takes camera log footage to a finished film look in one node, with stackable emulations of on-set optical filters (Black Pro-Mist, halation, anamorphic streak). Included in the Pulse license together with Pulse Edit.
Does it work on DaVinci Resolve Free?
Yes. Pulse Color is a standard OpenFX plugin, and OFX works in Resolve Free as well as Studio (18.5+), on macOS and Windows. The macOS build is notarized by Apple; the Windows build is Authenticode-signed.
Is it a LUT pack?
No. Every camera profile is generated and verified against the colour-science reference library, the looks are full print-film rendering chains, and the filter FX are spatial effects no .cube file can contain — a LUT cannot do halation or Pro-Mist.
Is there a Black Pro-Mist plugin for Resolve?
Yes — Pulse Color emulates Black Pro-Mist, White Pro-Mist, Glimmerglass and Skin Diffusion as stackable OFX effects, with sliders graded like the physical filters (0.25 = a 1/4 filter). Works in Resolve Free and Studio.
How much does it cost?
Nothing extra: it's included in the Pulse license (€13/month or €130/year) together with Pulse Edit. One key, the whole suite, 14-day money-back guarantee, offline-friendly activation (30 days at a time).
