RGrain 2.0 review
A focused library of scanned film overlays with 4K delivery and ProRes formats.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RGrain 2.0 is a downloadable overlay library for filmmakers, editors, colorists, and visual-effects artists. Its materials cover scanned film grain from 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm stocks, along with film damage, dust, leaders, flash cuts, splices, flicker, registration plates, motion plates, overscan borders, and perforations. The collection is designed for professional editing, compositing, and color workflows, with video overlays delivered primarily in ProRes formats.
Pricing is organized as one-time purchases rather than recurring plans. Artifacts and Formats each cost $35 and focus on film damage, motion plates, borders, perforations, and related format elements. Legacy 4K costs $65 for 16 film-grain overlays, DCI 4K material, one 6K overlay, and ProRes 422 HQ. Stocks also costs $65 and includes over 20 fresh and expired film-stock overlays in DCI 4K. The Complete Bundle costs $150 and combines all four packages, with over 100 film overlays. The published packages show a clear path from a narrow visual need to a broader collection.
RGrain 2.0 stands out through its depth in film-specific texture work rather than broad asset coverage. Trackable and loopable film-motion plates, artifact elements, overscan treatments, and multiple gauge formats give editors several ways to shape a film aesthetic. ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes 4444 support its stated video-overlay focus, while custom encoding and custom film-grain services extend the offering beyond the standard library. Choose it when scanned film character and format detail are central to the project. Choose another texture library when you need a wider range of asset types or a free starting option.
