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.

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. Professional color grading in Final Cut Pro & tools for Apple Mac. 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. The control panel includes Tracking commands and the viewer also displays an overlay for tracking keyframes. Clips can be tracked forwards or backwards. 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. Color Finale 2 is a powerful plugin that transforms Final Cut Pro into a complete color grading solution. Color Finale and Color Finale Pro from Color Grading Central (/colorfinale/) are outstanding plugins that include a LUT. Color Finale 2 includes high-quality area tracking. 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. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again. The application will start in a default state, and open an 'Untitled' library.

Then double-click the icon in the window to install Color Finale Transcoder. To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences. To start, download the Color Final Transcoder disk image installer file. 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. Color Finale Transcoder can be used on computers running macOS Catalina, and Big Sur. I was a strong Chromatic supporter for many years, but have recently defected to Color Finale.

Shots (Log) that I thought were great in Chromatic now look a lot better with Finale.

Skin tones, greens for foliage, taming the reds, sharpness control, tracked masks. I miss the group settings on Chromatic, they saved me loads of time. Finale does not, for some reason, allow you to ripple easily across multiple clips in a group.
