I believe it leans more towards advanced colorists where shot matching and grouping are less emphasized. Currently only available in Final Cut Pro.Ĭolor Finale 2 Review Final Verdict – 8.5/10įor someone that leans towards Adobe Premiere Suite when it comes to production, I found Color Finale to be extremely easy and effective.Instead, it is a window accessed through a button in the Corrections dropdown. That’s because it doesn’t appear in the initial drop downs. But for someone just trying to get a nice color grade quickly they may skip over this portion entirely. These tools generally perform the same function just in different ways. On a layout note, I found the “Edit Layers” panel to be a tad overwhelming.Certain basic tools also have slightly better presentation in the native FCP functionality. And they’re oriented opposite of the built-in color tools within FCP which can cause confusion. The Edit Layers controls options are labeled differently (lift, gamma, gain).And there is a picture preview of that LUT applied to the shot in question. In the EDIT LAYERS panel, you are able to view all the LUTS in your computer AUTOMATICALLY.A minor but much appreciated improvement is the sharpening in the corrections panel.This feature is not available in most color grading plugins. When doing secondary color adjustments and masking, the blur slider gives the user a smooth adjustment and avoids artifacts.
This means there’s no leaving the program’s built-in windows and no further clutter of the workspace.
