Give any video a cinematic look
A cinematic look comes from a graded palette, deeper contrast and a wider frame. Filmina does all three live on the video you're watching: free looks like Cinema Warm and Contrast Boost, Pro grades like Magic Hour and Neon Noir, and the free Cinema Bars for the 2.39:1 widescreen frame big films are shown in.
Free to start. No account, nothing uploaded. Chrome, Edge and Brave; Firefox in beta.

What makes video look cinematic
Films are graded: their colors are pushed toward a palette, often warm skin against cooler shadows. Their contrast runs deeper than most video, and the frame is wider, 2.39:1 against a TV's 16:9. A look does the first two; Cinema Bars does the third.
Make it yours
Every look has an Amount, and the Tune sliders sit on top of it. Save look in the rail keeps the combination under its own name, and hearting a look puts it on Alt+Shift+1 to 9.
On Netflix
Looks and Cinema Bars work on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and HBO Max. The glow in Magic Hour and the color fringes in Neon Noir have to read the picture, so they sit out there.
Free and Pro
Cinema Warm, Contrast Boost and Cinema Bars are free. Magic Hour, Neon Noir and the rest of the cinematic set are part of Pro. On the free plan you can apply 3 Pro looks or effects a week at no cost, and hover any of them in the rail to preview it on your video as often as you like.
