Nope, that’s simply not acceptable. Prepping of any sort has to go. “Baking in” should be reserved for agoraphobic cooks. And, I can’t be persuaded otherwise, so don’t bother trying.

I wouldn’t bother trying to convince you. People keep asking me how I keep growing my business while so many people seem to be having a slow time. This is one way. I accept that not everything is going to be as easy as pushing a button. Sometimes you actually have to work a bit to make a product better or to please a client or to create new job opportunities where you didn’t have any. Color enhancement is one job opportunity that has opened up thanks to Final Touch / Color.
I find it completely acceptable to have a company that grows in business by 200 to 400% each year and accepting the workaround needed for Final Touch / Color is one way we’ve done that.

None of this is germane to this discussion, which is about what needs to be fixed in Color.
I happen to like Color, a lot even, but the XML or other file transfer protocol it uses needs to be made completely seamless. When that happens Color will be light years of where it is today.

More formats, Stills and if possible, speed changes. That’s what needs to be fixed in Color.

“Bingo!!! Now we’re talking… I have no problem with making it perfect, and that’s essentially all it would take.

Sure few little things could be improved in the Color’s interface, but no may. I think is very good.
But what I dream is with Color working inside FC. As Color-Finesse can do.
Another think that could be improved is being able to alter the pipeline. Some times would be interesting apply certain effects before the CC.
And the last thing I want ask Apple is, please, support third part codecs.
I want Color ingests and exports Sheer.

The would just dilute it to a plug-in. Don’t see how you can pack a Primary In, 8 secondaries, Color FX, Geometry, Primary Out rooms into a plug-in. Looks is as close as you can get and it’s just too limiting.
Of course you can do a primary grade using the 3 Way CC tool and Color will pick it up. What I would expect is that the 3 Way CC tool will get a facelift, or we’ll see a Color type of plug-in added so you can do quick and easy CC or do a “primary color grade” in FCP which will then be completed in Color.
[Rafael Amador] “And the last thing I want ask Apple is, please, support third part codecs.

I small request would be an “in use” tick column in the browser window for clips that are being used in a sequence. It’s a minor addition, but it would save me some time.
-
Used in which sequence? What if it’s more than one sequence? What if you nest sequences?
All the best,
