CineMatch earns its place in the toolfarm library for its Sensor Match approach, which profiles the camera's sensor before applying a color science transform rather than relying on color science alone.
FilmConvert CineMatch brings camera-based color grading to DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. Its Sensor Matching technology profiles a camera's sensor to compensate for the differences between each supported model, then applies a color science transform to match footage across over 70 camera makes and models. You can apply a REC.709 transform with a single click.
Using dedicated camera packs, CineMatch converts footage from one Log picture style to another, letting you mix and match between SLog2/3, CLog, BRaw, V-Log/L, RED IPP2 and more. Because it understands how a sensor responds to light, the controls are tailored to your camera and feel like RAW-like adjustments. Built-in False Color guides help you set exposure and white balance to reach a neutral starting point for creative grading.
CineMatch also color manages your LUTs, so you can use LUTs from a favorite creator even if you don't own the camera they were designed for. It transforms your footage to the correct sensor and color space for any LUT, or converts your camera's footage to match the color response and color science of a high-end Hollywood cinema camera.
FilmConvert CineMatch is best for beginner filmmakers, expert color graders and everyone in between who want to match, correct and color-manage footage from many different cameras.
FilmConvert CineMatch is completely free to download and use.
FilmConvert CineMatch supports DaVinci Resolve 16 and 17. On macOS it requires version 10.15 or later with Metal or OpenCL, and on Windows it requires Windows 10 with OpenCL 1.1 or CUDA 10.1.
