Color Grading and Correction

You can choose one of more than 20 looks provided as custom effects in the Color FX Binx, modify and save it for later use, and even reuse it on other projects. Experiment with and save variations of the four “live” grades available to you and even import grades pre-created by professional colorists and editors.

Intuitive Task-Based Workflow

Editors will find Color easy to use as it combines familiar features with intuitive new 3D Color Space. In order to access the tools you need, Color utilizes a task-based workflow prearranged into eight "rooms," or workspaces ranging from the simple “Primary In,” to the more advanced "Render Queue."
