Here’s a video from Apple showing the only truly new application introduced as part of Apple’s Final Cut Studio 2 rollout yesterday: Color. This sophisticated color correction tool looks like a $100K tool, but everyone gasped when the Applians said it was included with the software suite. It’s rather derivative of many other color correction tools for pros, but still, that price is right.
Okay, I hear you asking: To recap that pricing, the full price of the whole suite will be $1299, available next month. To upgrade from Final Cut Studio 1 will be $499, and an upgrade from any version of Final Cut Pro since its beginning (1999) is $699. – Charlie White
Apple’s Final Cut Studio 2 only has one actually, totally, new program. It’s called “Color”. Essentially described as advanced colour correction, I was confused as to why what sounded to be a pack of professional filters were being touted as their own program. Then I checked out the video on Apple’s site.
I grabbed a bunch of screencaps and posted them after the jump. The multi-pane interface allows for multiple colour graphs/scopes, along with what appear to be a multitude of timeline formatting options. I’m very interested in the ability to colour correct only parts of the image and sharing colour profiles among users with ease. Anyone spot interesting stuff?
