Hi
The Nucoda FilmMaster & Fuse with all its strength and weaknesses (yes every system has some) is (i think) by far the best grading/finishing system out there. It is my opinion since i evaluated them all. I have worked building Color Grading Tools since 2000, i had plenty of times looking at competition, written countless competitive analysis and sat down and used them all. From Scratch, To Pablo, Baselight, Lustre, Resolve, Mistika, etc.. I made a career out of designing, managing, selling this type of tool.
Example:
Resolve has the best Color merge tool.
Scratch XML architecture is very powerful.
Pablo is the most Integrated (VFX + Grading, Conforming)
Mistika is leading for 3d fixes.
Lustre Integrates with Smoke/Flame better than anybody.
Baselight has the best Control Surface integration.
Anyone of the tools shines in some areas compared to others and is clearly weak in others.
That is the nature of the industry we are in. A very immature industry with lack of standardization.
I.e. What SDK are you on ? Are you rendering in GPU or CPU?
Where we shine is with our Avid Integration, High Dynamic Range Grading, Support a lot more File format I/O than most. Plus we have the best integrated grain/noise management tool and i think that our Control Panel integration is the one of the best in the industry.
However, anyone has to judge on their own. We think we have something worth your while. I swear we won’t only talk about dust busting.
