Filmic Legacy Reference Guide

Filmic Legacy is a copy of v6.19.15 of Filmic Pro, the last version we released before our major update to v7. While we will be maintaining Filmic Legacy through iOS updates, all future development will be made to Filmic Pro v7—Filmic Legacy will remain as is, the final form of our v6 version of Filmic Pro. Over the years that filmmakers, journalists, and hobbyists have used Filmic Pro v6 a substantial number of tutorials and helpful reference has been created, and for those people who prefer to stick with the Filmic Legacy they know and love, here is a collection of some of the most helpful reference we've created and the best found on the web.
