Film Grain, Light Leaks & Vignettes — 1080p to 8K

Why Cinematic Texture Still Matters

We're shooting in 4K, grading with LUTs, delivering in HDR — and still, some of the most beloved visual content has grain on it. Because digital perfection is sterile. The human eye has been trained by decades of film to find slight imperfection beautiful.

The problem has always been sourcing overlays that don't fall apart at higher resolutions. Most packs top out at 1080p and look awful on a 4K timeline. Filmit's Cinematic Overlays are built for modern resolutions.

What's in the Pack

🎥

Film Grain

Natural-feeling grain at multiple intensities. Fine grain for subtle texture, heavy for a pushed, high-ASA look. Doesn't tile obviously.

Light Leaks

Vintage light leak effects — edge bleeds, central washes, corner flares. Blend mode-ready for natural compositing.

👀

Vignettes

Center-weighted and edge-burn styles. Soft falloff that doesn't look like a bad Photoshop filter.

💻

1080p to 8K

Everything available from 1080p through 4K to 8K. Your overlays won't go soft when your timeline doesn't.

📈

Stackable

Layer grain + vignette + light leak for custom looks. Each overlay is separate for full control.

🔧

No Setup

Import, drop above footage, set blend mode, adjust opacity. No plugins, no panel needed.
