Light, with shape.
Warm halation and source-colored bloom, with separate controls for each.
Two tools. One finishing workflow.
More character.
More clarity.
Film-inspired finishing. Local video restoration.
Two tools for the footage you care about.

01 / The finishing tool
by b2studio
Give light a little character.
Shape highlight glow, grain, and print-inspired contrast. An original film engine in development for Adobe Premiere Pro.
Premiere Pro effect · In development
Actual Film Engine renders on an already graded frame. Presets add processing; they do not reproduce a measured film stock. sRGB interpretation assumed. Source & credits ↗
Texture, in balance.
Procedural grain with independent amount, size, and chroma controls.
A print-inspired finish.
Shape contrast and highlights. Start subtly, then make the image your own.
02 / The cleanup tool
by b2studio
A cleaner starting point.
Reduce noise and upscale footage on your Apple Silicon Mac. Keep control of the detail, then take the result back into your edit.
Standalone macOS app · Apple Silicon
Controlled still-image test: a 1920 × 800 source was intentionally reduced to 768 × 320, then enlarged. Compare bicubic resizing with actual Clearframe neural output at 25% denoise and 35% detail. This is not a motion-quality test. Source & credits ↗
See it before you commit.
Scrub to any moment and drag the divider between source and processed. The frame you inspect is the frame the export writes.
Less noise. Your call.
Denoise, Detail, and Sharpness adjust separately, so cleanup and reconstruction stay under your control.
Keep the proportions, and the edit.
Resize toward UHD preserving aspect ratio and the original frame rate, then export ProRes 422 LT, H.264, or HEVC.
Inside the app
Built to be judged, not just run.
Compare, on the frame you care about.
Scrub to a moment and drag the divider. The processed half comes from the same code path as the export, so the frame you judge here is the frame the file will contain.
Four controls, no presets to fight.
Denoise, Detail, Sharpness and Face recovery move independently. Each track carries a suggested starting range and names what either direction costs you.
Queue it and walk away.
Line up several clips, apply editor settings to a whole selection, and leave it running. Every state carries a symbol as well as a colour, and finished jobs keep a link to the file.
Judge it at 100%.
A fit-to-window view flatters everything. At actual pixels the difference between an ordinary enlargement and the neural reconstruction is the thing worth deciding on.
Screens from the current Clearframe development build on Apple Silicon. The interface is still changing, and no public installer is available yet.
The workflow
From cleanup
to the final grade.
Clean what needs cleaning.
Start in Clearframe when footage needs noise reduction or a larger frame. Preview first, then export.
Bring it into your timeline.
Work with the exported media in your editor. Keep your source files alongside the new versions.
Make the look yours.
Film Engine’s planned Premiere effect will bring its grain, glow, and print controls into the finishing pass.

Development status
Both tools are in active development. Installers and release notes will appear here when the first public builds are ready.

Film Engine is a working product name.

Apple Silicon development build.
Public packaging and validation in progress.
A few practical details.
Do these tools work inside Premiere Pro?
Film Engine is being developed as a Premiere Pro effect; native integration and playback/export validation are still pending. Clearframe currently runs as a separate Mac app and exports media for your editing workflow.
What footage does Clearframe support?
The current development build focuses on progressive SDR video. It preserves aspect ratio and constant source frame rate. HDR, camera RAW, log, and interlaced workflows are not supported in this version. Internal processing is 8-bit SDR, even when exporting a 10-bit ProRes file.
Can I download either app now?
Not yet. The local prototypes are being tested before they become distributable installers. Release dates, pricing, and Windows availability have not been announced.
