Colorfinale vs mlut skin#

Finale does not, for some reason, allow you to ripple easily across multiple clips in a group. I miss the group settings on Chromatic, they saved me loads of time.

Colorfinale vs mlut skin#

Skin tones, greens for foliage, taming the reds, sharpness control, tracked masks. Shots (Log) that I thought were great in Chromatic now look a lot better with Finale. I was a strong Chromatic supporter for many years, but have recently defected to Color Finale. Also, even though Cinema Grade has only been out a few weeks, they've already had several big feature updates as they take in feedback from the community (they're very active in the facebook group), so it's only going to get better.Ģ022 update. On the whole, I love Chromatic the most as it's the most powerful of the bunch, but Cinema Grade is so damn fast to get a decent looking shot, and to do it across multiple shot groupings in the project, that I'll probably be using that more and more. It's tools look like Color Finale or the now built-in FCPX tools, but in addition, you can track masks using it's built-in Mocha tracker and also do direct-on-image click-adjusting (which is also what CinemaGrade is built around) for both adjustments and for selecting ranges, be they chroma or luma based. At the very least it can make for a good first pass and then you could clean up trouble shots with the built in tools.Īnother option that I really like is CoreMelt's Chromatic, which is where I turn for the heavy lifting. I've played around with it and while it's not going to work in every situation (masking and keyframing are two notable shortcomings I've noticed at the moment) it's super intuitive and it's color-matching and shot-grouping tools are amazing. That said, the makers of Color Finale (Denver Riddle and his Color Grading Central site) have just released a new, interesting tool called Cinema Grade which is a pretty neat and novel way to accomplish quick grades. As others are saying Color Finale itself has been rendered a bit redundant with the new built-in FCPX tools.
