Color 1.5

Progress made beautiful.

Color 1.5 puts the power of high-end grading in your hands. Thanks to intuitive tools and deeper round-trip integration with Final Cut Pro, you can quickly improve a single scene or create a signature look for an entire sequence. Now with native workflows in high-quality formats up to 4K, Color is the ultimate finishing tool for music videos, commercials, broadcast post and feature films.

Intuitive task-based interface

Color is organised into eight workspaces, or “rooms”, that are designed for specific tasks. Start with the Primary In room for basic grading, then use any other room in any order for more advanced corrections. When you’re done, output at pristine quality — now up to 4K — through the Render Queue room. Learn more

Accessible toolset

Work quickly using familiar tools, including a Timeline, colour wheels and standard scopes. Then tap into easy-to-use, specialised colour grading tools, such as the interactive 3D Color Space scope, keyframe and curve controls, custom shapes, and more. You have everything you need for a full range of professional colour grading tasks. Learn more

Seamless integration with
Final Cut Pro 7

Color 1.5 also supports RED, DPX and Cineon files at full 4K quality, making it ideal for digital cinema workflows. Learn more
