[Todd Jaspers] "So if you use Apple Color it takes you 3 weeks to grade, finish, fx on a feature. The Pablo did it in 4 days.. All in one box. Kinda no comparison at all, at any price. "
Just a note. I graded a 96 minute feature in 5 days. That included some prep work in FCP the first day and then outputting on the last day. So probably completed the entire grade in just over 4 days. That includes all the rendering. It premiered in Hollywood last week.
[Todd Jaspers] "Do that in COLOR. Seriously try it.. you can't do any of it... "
You do all that extra work either in FCP, After Effects or Motion. Color is not an FX tool, it's a color grading tool. There are some things you could do in Color, but that's why it's Final Cut Studio. It's an entire suite of products that work together.
If Quantel works for you, great. I prefer not to spend the money required to purchase one system and instead have three full edit suites going that earn me more money per hour than a single high end suite.
