![]() ![]() 'Native' in Premiere 6.5 nothing happens, drop the plug onto a file and.nothing. Load up the Color Finesse plug and RedGL crashes. I also tried it 'native' with RedGL - same thing. ) Beyond that - In testing it with RedGL in VV - all it does is crash VV before anything can happen. Having said that - Color Finesse - it has some 35mm Kodak film presets. I would recomend it, however it is not available for VV so it is sort of a mute point. keep in mind I have an older version than what is available now so there is bound to be some improvment in some areas. And because it sort of has this suite feel to it there are individual plugs for things such as a skin softener. I find it extremely easy to "white balance" with it. I really like Video Finesse, I guess you could call it the 'other' SA tool for color correction. On the Mac, it claims to do live preview in connection with Echo Fire from the same company, which, of course, you'd have to buy separately.Īctually it is not "just" an After Effects plug-in - the plug-in claims to support Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Discreet Combustion, Boris Red and Pinnacle Commotion. Another serious problem with CF is that you can't see the result of your correction on your TV monitor until you close the plugin window, at least on Windows. I won't try to give another example (better be safe), but I guess one can imagine that with a plugin interface that takes over the screen (to the point where if you minimise the CF window, the window of the original application behind it does not update at all, it just stays white), doing something that requires switching between the application and the plugin a lot can be cumbersome, especially for someone used to the Vegas interface. However, even though six correctors should be enough for most things, I find interfaces that restrict you in this way problematic. The example of two secondary colour correctors is bad, since CF does allow you to have six secondary correctors between which you can switch via tabs. Although it offers more than the standard tools in most applications (including Vegas), the user interface is not very innovative and far from perfect. This means you can work quickly with it, but it can be cumbersome if you try to do things like use two secondary colour correctors. You can get good and clean results from its primary and secondary colour correction tools.ĬF gives you a more extensive set of colour correction tools which are all combined in its user interface. You also can't play your video from within CF. This means that you get a modal user interface, which is not great. To get back to the underlying application, you have to close the window. Instead, it opens its own window which takes over the screen. To work around this, CF does not use the common AE user interface (where you can mainly set values with sliders). My opinion on Color Finesse is that for a start it's severly hampered by the AE plugin architecture. If you have a software that is compatible with After Effects plugins, you can try Color Finesse yourself - there's a fully-featured demo that you can get from Synthetic Aperture's web site.
