colour changing and manipulation
Hi all,
Hope someone can help. I wondered what the best program is for changing colours, hue’s etc… I ideally want a program that can do anything from crazy psychadelic colour schemes to suttle effects. Ideally I want to try and get hold of a broadcast package that colourists use.I currently use adobe after effects, is there a better application?

Ahem, I suggest buying lustre* in the 4K version. I think it costs just 2 million bucks. Or how about a Quantel eQ with advanced color option for a similar price? Or an inferno*, Avid DS, Da Vinci or other highend system? Sorry, couldn’t help the sarcasm, but you have to be more specific about your requirements. Neither of the systems I mentioned does anything more than you can achieve with AE but all of them with much more streamlined workflow and mostly in realtime of course.

Technically Curves and hue/sat using good hardware at high bit depth can get you a lot of options when just doing primary color correction. But it’s amazingly unintuitive and not technically precise.
For now you are looking at Color Finesse used inside of AE. Although it lacks presets, power windows, layers, and a real time output to monitor without a workaround.
I personally use Shake for CC. You can build custom CC nodes and the color stays as error free as possible since certain functions concatenate.
I dream that Adobe will realize that ppl use AE with VIDEO and not still photos and build a decent color correcter into the app. One that is DaVinci inspired like the Avid|DS or Combustion (to a certain extent).
