Color Finesse Description

Above and Beyond Built-in Color Correction

Now you can have telecine-style color correction that fits your workflow rather than imposing a new one. Color Finesse gives you the high-end color correction and enhancement tools you need both as a plug-in for your favorite application—including After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Premiere Pro—and as a standalone application. Because the standalone Color Finesse is not limited by restrictions imposed by a host application, it offers improved workflow, video handling, and project management.

Color Finesse is cross-platform and works on systems from laptops to multi-processor workstations, without the need for specific video cards or multiple monitors. Settings move smoothly from plug-in to standalone so you can work the way you want to.

Color Finesse gives you full creative control over the color, mood, and look of your images quickly, easily, and accurately. The difference is visible when you use the best tool for the job.

The Color Finesse PI plug-in works directly in After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, and other hosts. You get simple access to color correction directly in the host application as well as via the specialized Color Finesse user interface.

Most video editing software now has its own built-in color correction, but it's often limited in capability, accuracy, and performance. Often you'll need to combine several color correction filters to perform even simple correction. Each filter you add increases rounding error and image degradation. Color Finesse does all its color correction operations without needing to constantly convert formats and round, reducing errors and creating a pristine image.

Color Finesse offers more correction tools—including secondary color correction and curves—than are found in most built-in correctors.

Three-point color correction is a powerful tool, but not when you're stuck with fixed definitions of what a highlight, midtone, and shadow is. Those definitions need to change from scene to scene, so Color Finesse gives you a simple tool to let you decide on the definitions, making three-point correction more intuitive and more effective.

And Color Finesse is a true 32-bit floating point color corrector, not just "floating point capable" and not in only a few correction tools.

Color Finesse as a Standalone Application - Color Correction Without Limits

The Color Finesse standalone application focuses on just one thing: being the best color correction tool possible. Create your own projects or import one from Final Cut Pro via XML. Perform your color correction and output your final footage, or export it back to Final Cut.

Color Finesse plays well with others. It handles QuickTime movies as well as image sequences. It supports image types from JPEG to BMP to TIFF to Targa to Cineon to DPX. It can import and export settings in ASC CDL, Photoshop, Discreet, and Quantel formats. It can preview footage via video cards from AJA, Blackmagic, and others.

Color Finesse HD+ handles footage of all sizes, from standard def to HD to film.

* Automatic color matching and black, white, and gray balance.
* Auto-Color and Auto-Exposure buttons give one-click access to your creative color grading starting point.
* Custom correction curves in both RGB and HSL formats.
* Vibrance control gives refined control over image saturation.
* Six channel secondary color correction for selecting and correcting individual color vectors.
* Reference images and split-screen wipe facilitate accurate color grading and matching.
* Smart chroma and luma limiting ensures that even extreme color changes stay within "legal" limits without harsh clipping.
* Highlight Recovery tools provides a visually-pleasing way to recover overbright areas of the image which would normally be clipped.
* Waveform monitor, vectorscope, histogram, and correction curve displays give full visibility into the correction process.
* Export color correction settings as 3D LUTs in a variety of formats, including Autodesk Lustre and Smoke, Academy LUT, Assimilate Scratch, Pogle, Truelight, Cine-tal, and LUTher.
* Fully optimized for multiple processors and SSE/SSE2 on Intel processors and AltiVec (Velocity Engine) on PowerPC.
* The plug-in has a simplified interface giving you access to the most commonly used color correction controls directly in the host application.
* Scrub through the clip you're correcting and preview your work with realtime playback.
* Direct communication with video preview hardware without additional software. Supported hardware includes FireWire/DV (Mac), Blackmagic (Mac/Windows) and AJA (Mac).
