``Filmbox Lite'' review that allows you to create professional-quality film-like movies for free
By applying film-like processing to a movie shot with a camera, you can create a movie with a different atmosphere or a movie that emphasizes retro feeling. ' Filmbox Lite ', which is a simplified version of the film-like processing plug-in 'Filmbox' for professionals costing over 100,000 yen, is free but can create film-like movies with the same quality as the paid version. I was wondering what kind of movie it would be, so I actually installed it and tried using it.
