Color uses the “rooms” metaphor with Primary In, Secondaries and Primary Out as it’s three main working rooms. This new 3-tiered Colorista is a bit like Apple’s Color in that regard. Each control has subtle differences depending on the control like Secondary having a keyer and Master having curves control. There’s Primary, Secondary and Master controls built in each time you apply the effect. Colorista II, full of features, is basically three copies of the tool in one. With Magic Bullet Colorista II, from Red Giant Software, that wish has been answered … in a big way.Ĭolorista version 1, while a quality color correction tool, was just one instance of the grader with the option to apply a mask via the Power Mask controls. But one thing that has always been missing from Colorista is secondaries, something you’d often find yourself wishing for. And Colorista has always worked in your other host applications as well (Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Avid Media Composer) so that rounds out its usefulness. If you’re color correcting and finishing in your FCP box then the built-in 3-Way Color Corrector becomes merely adequate in comparison to the image quality you can crank out of Colorista. It’s one of those indispensable tools for those doing serious Final Cut Pro work.
