👉 Try the free CineDream beta for color grading in Final Cut Pro: cinedream.io/fcp-color
It’s fully functional with a small watermark until you license it.
I want to get the kind of color grading I see people getting in DaVinci Resolve.
So what does Resolve have that Final Cut Pro is missing?
We wanted to find out if a real color-managed pipeline could live natively inside Final Cut.
So we built one.
In this video, I show you the new native FxPlug effects we built for real color space transforms using ACES 2 color science.
Plus, you get on-image grading, false color and skin-tone overlays, and the film-emulation tools CineDream users have come to know and love.
Install the beta, drop the Base Correction onto a clip you’ve been struggling with, choose your camera profile, and watch what happens 👌🏼
Launch offer: save 20% on a CineDream license through Tuesday, June 30:
