- Price
- From $45.00 per finished minute
- Free trial
- A 30-second cut from your own footage, no card, no commitment.
What to send us
The digital footage, any older material it will be cut with, the film stock or texture you want to suggest, and the delivery resolution and platform.
What you get back
Film grain and texture added at a consistent size and strength across the edit, matched to archival footage where needed, and checked after compression.
What to check before you sign off
Watch the video after it has been uploaded to your real platform. Streaming compression can smear grain into blocky noise if it is too fine or too strong.
