Color Grading

	Re: Color Grading by walter biscardi on Oct 21, 2009 at 7:15:53 pm [Miguel Mendoza] "What about Blackmagic DaVinci? Seems really high-end. " to put it mildly. If you have some seriously deep pockets, it's not a bad little tool. :-) Scratch is one that's used a lot Quantel Pablo. There's a bunch out there. If you've done any research at all on Color Grading, you'll find lots of options readily available to meet any budget. Walter Biscardi, Jr. Editor, Colorist, Director, Writer, Consultant, Author.

" Yep and those who paid $20k or more for their solutions need to protect their investment by trying to dumb down the cheaper solutions and insist that they are "lower quality," "Lower end," etc.... Of course most folks seem to forget (or they didn't know) that Final Touch 2k was $25,000 just a few years ago and that's the same software we all run today as Color.....

	Re: Color Grading by Loren White on Oct 22, 2009 at 6:58:27 pm By "Lower End" I meant price. I'm pro Apple Color. which got me thinking, It'd be nice if Color was built into FCP and FCP got better compositing tools. then it'd be.. Final Cut Super Pro? (competitor to Avid DS) I understand you can bounce around between the FCS app's but it'd be nice to just do it in one application. www.lorenwhite.com Colorist/Finishing Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

" I'll disagree with you there too. Color is such a deep application it's best to keep it stand alone. Same with Motion. You could bring some elements of the apps into FCP, but to incorporate everything into one large application will yield a bloated and probably slow running app that won't do everything well and would most likely be unstable. Can't imagine cutting a documentary with the 200+ hours of material that we have in a Final Cut Color Motion SoundTrack Pro application. Would probably take 20 minutes just open the application and load all the footage. Look at Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects. There's a reason Adobe keeps them separated. They run best as individual apps that are tightly integrated. That's what Apple has to do, get better integration between the apps.

	Re: Color Grading by Loren White on Oct 23, 2009 at 10:50:22 pm Yeah, as long as the computer power is there, (as it is in the DS box) it could work. Would be a huge undertaking but would be great for finishing work.. www.lorenwhite.com Colorist/Finishing Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
