tools tested with Final Cut Studio 2 and 3 (Final Cut Pro 6 and; 7, Color 1 and 1.5, xml version 4 and 5)
- Charbon-Studio Profiles to make Color faster
- luts to improve the handling of dpxs files on Color
- batch modify the shots of a Color project
- gather the dpxs rendered out of Color
- repair the looping bug with spanned r3d files
- batch transfer the grades from one Color project to the other (aka start new without starting from scratch, do not lose your grades)
- update an fcp timeline so as to use the very last renders from a Color project
- inside a Color project
- solve the crash on save bug of Color
introduction
- Color versions 1.5 thru 1.5.3 (perhaps others, untested), display the DPXs and TIFFs with a gamma shift.
- There are two ways to correct this.
- put a 1.8/2.2 (=0.818181818181818) gamma setting to your shot inside Color
- use this custom-made LUT make_color_see_correctly_dpxs.mga (© Charbon-Studio sprl)
- How to use it
- The LUT should be ON when you grade TIFFs or DPXs.
- The LUT should be OFF when you render.
- Color renders correctly dpxs and tiffs, the problem is just that it displays them too bright.
- The LUT is not perfect but quite close.
- Do you have this gamma shift ?
- Look at how to verify the monitoring
