Apple's color grading software is a professional-grade tool for anyone who needs to adjust colors in photos and videos. It is easy to use, and offers a range of features that make it ideal for professionals who want to create high-quality, visually stunning content.
Apple's newly released professional color grading application, Color is a must-have for all editors. With its intuitive interface, users can quickly and easily experiment with primary and secondary color grade adjustments for their SD, HD, and even 2K projects. The best part is, you can preview the results in real-time, regardless of the resolution you are working in.
Utilizing GPU-accelerated processing, Color is capable of producing RGB output in resolutions up to 4:4:4 with 32-bit float processing; delivering the best quality and stunning speeds for rendering. From short video pieces to full-length theatrical films, users can create signature looks for their projects.
The task-based workflow in Color is organized in eight different rooms, which are designed to streamline access to the necessary tools. With the accessible toolset, from color wheels to 3D Color Space scope, editors will find it easy to use Color because of their experience with Final Cut Pro.
The application also features 35 professional effects and more than 20 looks built into Color. To apply advanced effects, users can quickly create custom mattes to isolate objects or areas in the frame for additional enhancements or effects. They can even combine these effects in a variety of ways to create completely custom effects.
Color lets its users experiment freely with up to four "live" grades at a time and saves the ones they like the best. They can even import and use grades created by professional colorists or other editors. With the ability to send a project round-trip between Final Cut Pro and Color, video layers, effects, titles, and all of the other XML metadata from Final Cut Pro are preserved when you return for finishing and final output.
Overall, Color is a comprehensive software designed for professional usage, making it an incredible addition to your editing toolkit. However, keep in mind that in order to download the application update, you need to have an Apple ID and a Final Cut Studio serial number.
