film grain

[beaker]

There is not much to it. Just add fillmgrain node/effect and pick the film stock you want to emulate.

There is more to it than that, but usually only when your dealing with putting cgi elements into a shot and your matching grain.

I kind of already figured this part out, but thanks anyway. I was just wondering if there was more to it, like "oh, you got to think about this and that, and you canät use this filmstock, or that amount of grain" and I don't know what. pointers and stuff.

ok, so I'll stop being a chicken and shot from the hip.
thx.

Generally your blue channel has more grain (noise) in live action footage, so consider that when matching. If possible always shoot test wedges (extra tape) for grain analysis, best over black to white color chip gradient. Try to match size of grain per channel as well.
