Simple colorGHear today!

@psywhisper Wow!

@shian Any update on CGT for PP CS6?

AE CS6 is still missing integrated scope viewing of waveform and vector. Launching Color Finesse 3 feels so awkward after learning how FCPX and PP CS6 handle the secondary color correction.

@psywhisper Very, very cool! Were those lanterns actually different colours near the beginning or where they treated in post? Anyway, loved it!

@psywhisper Those awesome cuts from 0:34 - 0:38 totally sold it! Really nice camera movement and editing.

@kazuo I like the humour. and it was also a good "watch" from beginning to end. Nice sound levels and easy to listen to, in what must have been difficult acoustics. This sort of film is REALLY difficult to do well, and I'm sure it will do the job for the client and target audience. Thanks for posting!

@kazuo that's awesome, dude. Excellent work. Very proud to have been involved, even if indirectly.

I don't know if you guys can understand how it feels to create something that is being used all over the world like this - I've seen videos graded with CGT from France, Turkey, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Amsterdam, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Germany, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, UK, USA, Argentina, and Brazil (and I'm sure I missed a few). It's quite humbling. It never occurred to me that something like this would happen. I never even dreamed that CGT would have this kind of an impact.

If we consider that ColorGHear is my little brainchild, then thank you, all of you for giving me an amazing Father's Day Gift.

(I now have to go share this on fb)

@shian I tried to mimic a couple of simple presets from CGT, but PP can't save a preset for multiple effects. Arrrrrgggg

For simple grading, I'd use PP. Change curve, level, 3-way color corrector on adjustment layer. Export. Done. PP renders much faster than AE.

For more complex grading, I'd edit in PP without any color effect, import the project from AE, and use CGT. My impression is that CGT can't be a final product. Just initial settings. Basically... it's about using AE as color grading tool regardless of CGT. AE is a pretty cool tool... except the aging Color Finesse 3.

When importing PP project from AE fails, I guess I must export from PP then import the file from AE. Can you please recommend export setting from PP for the case? Thanks.

@IndianaPete Yes, but that doesn't take advantage of adjustment layers and pre-compositions.

@shian, hey thanks for the generous comments. Thanks so much for your inspired product, and the great tutorials that you lovingly placed online week in week out! I know the amount of time you have put in, we all only have 24 hrs a day, so hats off to you!

Some pp have written to me asking if they should consider buying ColorGHear. Let me say here, that it is a powerful software, and it can do ALOT if you understand the basics of colour grading. I highly recommend it!

@Mark_the_Harp Thanks dude for the comments. Yeah, as with all location shoots, the conditions were less than ideal. But luckily, the guys working on set have done broadcast and film for many years, so they really helped circumvent those tricky bits.

@peternap

Thanks for the comment. Hope to work on long form now, hopefully using the same tools to finish a feature

@shian I expect you already knew this about GHears, but I'm working on a particularly long Doc that's been 2 years in the works. I have a lot of cameras involved including GoPro's.

The GP's are great little cameras as long as there's plenty of light and I don't expect much in the way of color depth, Etc.

I used GHears on a clip that was shot in the rain, hidden from a TSA Agent, and was pretty dull and lifeless. GHears turned it into usable, decent video. The Spectral Enhancer is magic.

I'm loving this more all the time!

Just a curiosity i think many of you, could find it intresting.
