Re: feature request: Hue and Sat curves

It's funny, I thought you were the arrogant one! : )

I'm going to be honest, I'd rather you stay with Color than DaVInci, less competition for us.
Having say that, I don't know if I have 10 reasons, but this place I work they own Apple Color for low budget projects, and they're not buying DaVinci (they're very cheap, and they think they are all the same)
But I have a DaVinci myslef, so I took one reel in 2K DPX to try it out, I was able to finish the grading three times faster than in Color (I'm using the Waves panel), not only that, I was able to play full 2K (2048 X 1556) DPX, with 3 power windows in real time, and sound. I cannot do that even on some six figure systems, and I didn't try more power windows, but I think I could have RT performance with even more.

In Color in 2K plays maybe at 15 fps with no sound.

Now sound makes a huge difference in a color corrected session with a client, because they take sound and picture as a whole, whereas if it's just picture, they get confused about what they want, that's my experience.

Then I rendered them out, as 2K DPXs, and as ProRes HQ, it took 10 minutes for DPX (reel was 10 minute long), and 8 minutes for ProRes, Color took 45 minutes to render.

But again, if you render overnight maybe it's not important how long it takes as long as it is done in the morning, but when I compared what I color timed with the DaVinci against what I did in Color, DaVinci looks so much better, skin tones look phenomenal, it looked like a real movie, there's a depth in Color that exceeds any other platform I've seen so far, and I've seen many.

And I realized something I never paid attention to, I think the common knowledge in color correction is that all color programs do the same, you throw red, green, they all can do it, but, for example, guitars can play all the same chords, however, a Gibson Les Paul will sound different than Fender Stratocaster, so is the same with Color software, how it interprets and add the color is an art into the software itself, and I feel for the first time, that this tool can help transform into reality what I want the picture to look like, I was never 100 % satisfied, and now I'm a DaVinci converted advocate.
