Color Grading Demo... click the WATCH IN HD button

Featuring Norops Sagrei the world famous lounge lizard. Coloring done in Apple Color with a custom keyframed vignette for secondary grading. Primary grading was just a boost in saturation and contrast in the RED tab plugin. Editing in FCP and audio from Soundtrack Pro loops. Footage shot on RED 4k camera.

hey is color better than ae for color correcting

[trancepriest]

Yes, Color is most definitely better than AE for grading. AE is good for motion graphics but can't touch the grading features of Color.

Those were some awesome greens.... Great work...

[trancepriest]

Thank you!

[jfitzy]

that green looked amazing, i'm trying to get something like this myself, do you have to use plugins? or can it all be done purely through final cut pro?

[trancepriest]

This was done in Color mainly by adjusting saturation and contrast. The source material makes a major difference in how much you can push the footage. Since I was working with RED RAW footage it was a lot easier to boost it.

@trancepriest Not at all true.. Color is a noob program for introduction to grading. Load after effects up with Magic bullet Colorista, or even just play with Looks, and you'll see Apple color fall to the floor.

If only the rest of us could shoot in RAW...
