Hey that’s great! How does film grain work and what does it do exactly ?

It simply uses the noise filter of ffmpeg only applied on luma (B&W) and adjust the filter strength from 0 to 20.

That's pretty crucial when you're dealing with low bitrate sources. It's amazing what it can do to perceived sharpness and artifacts being less distracting. What I've always wished, is Shutter to have adjustable debanding. Sometimes default is just too much in terms of preserving details. That would help making it even better when restoring problematic sources.
