Once corrected, I go into the ‘Shot Matching’ panel, establishing a ‘Hero’ shot of each set, then grouping all the shots into relevant groups. Or things such as desaturating certain colours in the scene is so simple. This is where the click and drag approach of grading really comes into play, being able to click a slightly overexposed sky and dropping exposure down with a little drag is so good.
Generally speaking, I import all of my footage into FCPX, use Cinema Grade to colour correct the shots in the ‘Base Correction’ panel, so correcting any tint or WB issues, as well as lightening / darkening shots if I missed exposure slightly to match.
#CINEMA GRADE SUPPORT FULL#
If you incorporate one of the Xrite ColorChecker Video charts as apart of your video production let Cinema Grade perform auto exposure and colour balance corrections.Īs you can see, Cinema Grade is the full package, pretty much every feature you could ever need for grading and achieving your Hollywood look on a budget. Let’s go over the features one by one and see what they can do, then I’ll tell you about my general workflow and how I feel about the plugin. Ofcourse you always have the option of using sliders and scopes within CG to fine tune, but it’s nice not having to ONLY rely on them, feels a little archaic in comparison. It’s so simple but so powerful being able to see exactly what is being changed and then tweaking it. It’s honestly a revelation and makes you think about why it hasn’t been done before. Generally you would have to focus on dials or sliders, trying to isolate the colours you want to change, then carefully adjust them without messing up other areas.Ĭinema Grade lets you instead directly pick them ON THE IMAGE and simply drag them to where you want them to be. It works as a plugin for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro X on the Mac. So Cinema Grade is a direct image based colour grading tool that lets you grade right within your viewer in a far simpler and intuitive way than current tools.
