Baselight for FCP

[Michael Gissing]

[Jeremy Garcho] “This, to me, represents awesome ideas and a new spin on when, where, and how colorists and editors can collaborate. Hopefully these ideas won’t go to waste.”

Indeed. That is what Walter was enthusiastic about.

My bad, I must have missed that one.

We appreciate everyone’s response and agree that there are many colour applications on the market but you will find that there are post production companies, professional editors and other FCP users who wish to maximise the longevity they have of FCP7 and to use an alternative highly refined grading option such as Baselight. One of the main benefits of using BL FCP is that you avoid any round tripping from FCP into other colour apps which has been described as time consuming and clunky.

FilmLight have developed the Baselight plug-in as part of an ongoing development programme in which Baselight Editions will be available for other platforms – for example Baselight for Nuke will be available in the Summer followed by other popular NLE platforms.

$1000 for an FCP 7 plugin? I hope their guys are working on MC and PP versions.

Thanks for posting.
It might be very important to discuss how you might handle moving the license to other NLEs. Today’s FCP7 user may well be an Avid, PremierePro, FCPX user within the year. People might buy with more confidence if they knew development as going to happen for the NLE they may move to and whether there would be an additional cost in moving the license. If you don’t plan on supporting a specific NLE it would be good for us to know as well.

An After Effects version would be good for various workflows.
