Genesis is a film emulation plugin from Cullen Kelly Color, built for DaVinci Resolve colorists. Instead of acting like a simple preset pack, Genesis models the behavior of real film, with negative and print stock choices, development controls, printer points, halation and grain. It responds to exposure and color changes naturally, so you can build a custom film look and keep it consistent across a timeline. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

FAQs

Which host app does Genesis work with?

Genesis is designed for DaVinci Resolve and is used as a plugin on the Color page, inside your normal node based grading workflow.

Is Genesis just a set of LUTs?

No. It is a full grading system with adjustable controls, and you can export a LUT from any look you build.

Do I need to be an expert colorist to use it?

The defaults already give a strong film look, so beginners can start there and explore deeper controls over time.
