Red Giant Colorista II Review
by: 
 3/15/2011 12:20 PM
Red Giant was gracious enough to allow me to test-drive Colorista II. Building and improving on the original in every way, Colorista II is ac color grading plug-in for Final Cut Pro users. Colorista II also supports Adobe After Effects and Premier.

Colorista II gives you the ability to grade with Primary, Secondary, HSL, and Master Controls using color wheels all within the Final Cut Pro. This provides you with an unprecedented amount of control from a plug-in, rather than jumping back and Read More

In the Studio: Magic Bullet Colorista II
by: 
 1/14/2011 12:50 PM
Most editors know how to correct the color and brightness in their videos to have them match the reality of the shoot, or what they wish was the reality of the shoot. The next level is using color and brightness adjustments to create a certain look or feel, or to enhance the footage in different ways. If your focus is solely matching reality, and you're working with decently shot footage or better, you're likely in good hands with the various color and brightness adjustments available in your NL Read More

COLORISTA 2: FEEL THE POWER
by: 
 1/03/2011 9:50 AM
When I first started color correcting in FCP I used the built in 3-way color corrector. When it first was introduced in FCP 3, it is what first drew me to FCP. And I have been able to do quite a bit with it. But when Magic Bullet Colorista by Red Giant Software came out, and I was able to push the colors further than the 3-way…take things more to the extreme. And lately, while I have been glued to COLOR, there are many instances when I can’t use it. Such as times when I have projects with m Read More

REVIEW: Magic Bullet Colorista II
by: 
 10/07/2010 1:23 PM
If there’s one thing that really makes my blood boil it’s seeing poorly graded programmes on the telly. There is really no excuse for it, particularly if you have any of Magic Bullet’s fabulous colour correction plug-ins for FCP. Probably the best known is Magic Bullet Looks, which is justifiably well regarded, but sometimes a more traditional approach to grading works better, and that’s where Colorista II comes in. Read More

Magic Bullet Colorista II
by: 
 7/29/2010 10:31 AM
Red Giant Software’s engineers have been busy this year expanding the Magic Bullet franchise. Products have included versions for Photoshop and the iPhone, as well as variations of the ever-popular Looks. This line of innovative color correction tools got its start with Colorista, a custom 3-way color correction plug-in for Apple Final Cut Pro, Motion and Adobe After Effects. Colorista is a deceptively simple grading tool, used by many editors who like the added power over other built-in correct Read More

Creatvie Cow tries out the new MC Color controller from Euphonix

In this article Walter Biscardi, Jr. tries out the new MC Color controller from Euphonix.

Apple Color has brought a powerful color enhancement tool to the masses much like Final Cut Pro did for editing when it was released. What was once possible with only a high end hardware based system, like daVinci, was now in the hands of anyone with $999 who purchases Final Cut Studio. What has finally started to appear on the landscape are reasonably priced hardware controllers that emulates the same Read More

First impressions of the Euphonix MC Color
by: 
 2/22/2010 10:20 AM
The delivery guy walked in the door just over a week ago with a box containing a sparking, new, fresh off the assembly line MC Color control surface from Euphonix. For those who aren’t familiar with this unit, it’s a brand new entry into the affordable (relatively speaking at $1,499) trackball based hardware support for Apple Color. The Euphonix unit has the Tangent Wave square in its sights with a similar price point and similar functionality. In fact it’s hard to talk about one without compari Read More
