I have never heard of Sapphire. I will give it a trial and if it works it would be worth it as I dont have to rent a Red so it would be a good investment. I find the Marvel settings really a good combo to at least color correct in the Avid. Philip Blooms setting are not as good as the Marvel. I also work in government video but I am trying to branch out to features. Thanks for your help

BCC film process is not bad. The mist filter is good with close ups of women. How do you really know what a film look is. I have tried several and they all have their own look. I guess it depends on the scene and what you are trying to make. Saphire is a pile of cash!

Yep. I warned you up front it was not cheap. But if you're using Avid to earn a full time living, and effects work is a critical part of your workflow, it's well worth the money, and will amortize itself pretty *** fast. While it and BCC share what appear to be a lot of the same effects, I have found that the Sapphire "look" is always superior to the equivalent effect in BCC - my opinion. If you explore the Sapphire film effect in detail, you'll be amazed at how deep just that one effect is and how many different options you have. In addition to film looks, you have a very robust color correction and shading engine as well.
So you have to decide whether your workflow justifies the expense.

Thanks Larry, it looks like Saphire is the Ferrari of film looks as it is used in many Hollywood films that are shot on Red or Canon DSLR. BCC seems not very deep in changing the Marvel look setting but it's seems ok. It seems that the film look is kind of like art, one persons art is anothers junk.
