I tried it in all three supported hosts (Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve) with success in each. There is no shortage of ways to change the look of your footage these days. Move over to Adobe Premiere Pro and both Colorista and Magic Bullet Looks are long-standing options if you don’t want to use Lumetri.Īnd I didn’t even get into the hordes of LUT tools, look suites and color filters that clutter up your Facebook feed with sponsored ads. There’s also Chromatic for that platform. Third-party plug-ins are also in abundance. Even Media Composer will get its old color tools updated a bit soon. Adobe Premiere Pro is getting advanced curves in its Fall 2018 release.
#Cinema grade plugin update#
Final Cut Pro X added advanced grading tools in its last update (negating the need for Cinema Grade creator’s own Color Finale). We live in a world where one of the most powerful and advanced grading applications, DaVinci Resolve, is free! But it has a steep learning curve and unless you attempt your creative edit in Resolve you’ve got to get your edit actually into Resolve to do your grade, which isn’t always the easiest process.Īll of the major NLEs have pretty advanced grading tools built right in these days. On the surface, the answer is probably no. But then that begs another question: Do we really need another color grading tool? While I don’t think it can achieve those lofty Marvel heights there’s enough power in there to make it a quite useful tool in an editor’s color grading arsenal. But if you watch some of the teaser videos building up to the release you’d think it can be implemented in Marvel Studios and grade the next big superhero blockbuster. Just kicking the tires on Cinema Grade for a few hours it feels powerful enough to get a lot of work done relatively quickly. RUN UPDATE! New real-time video scopes in the 'Base Correction' and 'Final Grading' pages of Cinema Grade v.1.0.12 (298) #cinemagrade /cpWX9SMohY UPDATE 10/2/18: It looks like one of my big cons has been added … video scopes on the main Base Correction page. But as I played around with it I ended up with a few more questions than answers. It’s a cool tool that does take a unique, why-didn’t-I-think-of-that approach to grading.
I was curious enough about it that I took some time today to kick the tires a bit on Cinema Grade. This application, according to the developers, is a logical next step beyond Color Finale since that Final Cut Pro X grading tool was pretty much Sherlocked with the 10.4 FCPX update. It comes from the team that created Color Finale and runs the Color Grading Central web portal. I’ve been watching the teaser videos as Cinema Grade launch day neared and it looked like an intriguing tool. The tagline for Cinema Grade is this: Get cinema-quality results without the pain and frustration of traditional grading tools. Cinema Grade is a new color grading plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X and DaVinci Resolve that utilizes a unique, direct on image, workflow to make your footage look beautiful.
