Digital Diffusion for Resolve
DigiDiff is a DaVinci Resolve plugin engineered to add high-quality diffusion to your footage, all in post.
DigiDiff is engineered to process light using the same mathematical principles that govern real optical systems. This ensures that the image behaves exactly as cinematographers & colorists expect.
Powered by DiffDesigner, DigiDiff gives you precise control over diffusion profile, tint, and more. Save custom presets and reuse them anytime—DigiDiff offers a level of control you won’t find anywhere else.
Introducing DigiDiff v3.0
DigiDiff v3.0 brings powerful new tools to your workflow, including Diffusion Tint for custom hue and CCT-based warmth, DiffBoost for enhanced highlight control, and expanded preset support. It’s our most advanced and flexible version yet.
Diffusion Tint
DiffDesigner now includes DiffTint, letting you emulate the color characteristics of real-world diffusion filters.
Choose from two models—Hue and CCT.
Hue lets you match the tone of colored lights in your scene or create stylized looks, while CCT tints your diffusion along the blackbody radiation curve, enabling precise Kelvin-based adjustments for natural warmth.
Amplify with DiffBoost
DiffBoost lets you amplify the intensity of diffusion in the brightest parts of your image, enhancing diffusion and presence where it matters most.
Use the Boost and Clamp sliders to fine-tune how much diffusion is applied and where—perfect for dialing in the intensity of diffusion in your highlights while preserving midtones and shadows.
Driven by DiffDesigner
DiffDesigner enables custom diffusion filter creation through an intuitive diffusion engine.
DiffDesigner lets you precisely recreate physical filters used on set for seamless integration with footage, or design entirely original diffusion effects with distinctive characteristics. Save, modify, and build your own library of custom presets tailored to your specific creative requirements.
