Video Finesse is a software tool that allows users to take control of their video signal. With this program, users can manipulate and adjust video footage to meet their specific needs and preferences.
One of the standout features of Video Finesse is its nuanced controls. It allows you to squeeze the highest quality image from your video. You can easily see the controls at work via resizeable picture monitors, waveform monitors, and vectorscope displays. With Video Finesse being an Adobe Premiere plug-in, all its features are accessible when using Premiere as your editing package.
The traditional analog solutions to video signal processing, such as proc amps, are no longer viable. The increasing use of fully digital cameras and editing systems requires more nuanced control over adjustments, which the standard Premiere filters cannot provide. Video Finesse comes in handy in these cases.
With Video Finesse, each filter provides full control over its settings, rather than simply being on or off. The picture monitor supports zooming, panning, and can be expanded to a floating window, which allows you to see what to expect from the filter without rendering. It also comes with several other features such as overlaying with a zebra pattern, pattern indication of colors that are out-of-gamut, horizontal or vertical split of the picture monitor displays, and a resizable, floating waveform monitor and vectorscope display.
Video Finesse comes with features only found in high-end cameras, such as adjustable knee, black stretch, and skin detail. These features can be used in post-production with prosumer and consumer level cameras.
The demo version of Video Finesse comes with red lines through the output image. To use Video Finesse, you need Adobe Premiere 5 or later.
In conclusion, Video Finesse is an excellent software for videographers and video editors who seek full control over their video signal. With its nuanced controls and post-production features, it is an excellent investment for professionals seeking higher-quality video images.
