So I'm just barely scratching the surface of what is possible but this is equally as powerful (in my mind and hands) if not more so than many other programs I've used. I initially was grading this short in Color Finesse which was a little clunky for my taste. Moved to DaVinci Resolve which, on my 2009 17" MacBook Pro was fairly sluggish, and then finally settled on Speedgrade. Speedgrade was great but I was disappointed that, to do what I wanted, I would have to lose a generation of quality by exporting from Speedgrade and back to After Effects for final titles, noise reduction, etc. Nothing was used on this clip except for ColorGHears and Neat Video Noise Reduction. Hope to have a comparison video up soon.

gotcha! Thanks!

Function? You mean AE? I've used it to a small degree...

Here's a weird thing. I have no AE folder in my documents. I opened up adobe folder in apps and found a presets folder there. Does this do the same thing? Pardon my ignorance.

Yes, please. I can't wait to see what you guys can do with it. Please post examples. I realize it's only been a day, so it may take some time to get up to speed, and the 'GHrain Killer' and 'Working with Scenes' tutorials aren't up yet (working on 'em right now) but there's plenty of "right-out-of-the-box" stuff you guys can do, especially if you've watched the ColorFist tutorial and have started playing with it.

@kholi - no offense taken. There is no anger in my tone. (unfortunately tone doesn't carry on the web, and can be misconstrued as a flame war) I just wanted to be clear that ColorGHear isn't a look suite, it's something rather different. And this kind of discussion is good, others that come to this thread will be able to get some of their questions answered just by reading through the thread.

I can't download anything it says that the link has been closed because it was used too many times. Can you please provide an alternative??

@kholi I hesistate to call them "looks". Looks are pretty much singular. You drag and drop them, and you're done. These operate more as nodes. And if you've ever worked in a node based environment you know that each node has a function, but rarely does one node alone create the desired effect. These nodes or GHears are designed to interact with each other in nearly the same way as the nodes on a Davinci or in Color, or Nuke. Some of them are simply looks...maybe a 3rd of them, the rest are nodes that perform a specific function beyond what any single effect in AE can provide. But to be most accurate it is very much like turning AE into SpeedGrade. Not many outside the color world have ever heard of SpeedGrade. Until I was trained on it, i'd never heard of it, but it is layer based - exactly like AE, but with lateral connectivity as well is vertical, which as those who have made it through the first round of tutorials can attest is something I've already begun talking about. I've basically turned AE into SpeedGrade and saved you $34,975.

I have recieved the Download link.

@kholi the presets are essentially a backdoor way of programming into After Effects the same tools I have at my disposal at work when I'm grading in SpeedGrade and Davinci. I don't use them as layers, but more like nodes. And then in the tutorials I teach you how to use them to get the kind of results I get. What you're really paying for is the tutorials, and my experience as a Professional Colorist. The main difference between this collection and the others you might have seen, is that I have fine-tuned the toolkit for cleaning and punching up DSLR footage, but if you feel its not for you, don't buy it. I'm sure @jobless felt the same way, but he very quickly learned that ColorGhear is much more than a set of looks.

It's the exact same set of tools I used on "The Cell 2" - Yes, I did the grading for all the FX scenes as well as the compositing in CS3 because the producers wanted something more interesting to look at while doing QC. I removed them for the Digital Intermediate, but when Fotokem couldn't reproduce my results in Davinci I was asked to put the looks back in. So every scene in that movie that contains a visual effect was color graded with a very primitive version of ColorGHear, it wasn't even called ColorGHear yet, it was just a folder full of AE presets I had created over the years that allowed me to work very quickly. I also used it on my award winning short film: "Singularity".

@artiswar

user presets for windows 7, vista, are C:\Users\username\Documents\Adobe\After Effects CS5.5\User Presets. You can also put them in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5.5\Support Files\Presets and browse presets in ae to find them.

Alright. Could you clarify what you mean by adding a "layers adjustment" to the adjustment layer.
