FilmLight develops unique color grading systems, image processing applications, and workflow tools that are transforming film and video post-production and setting new standards for quality, reliability and performance. They will unveil Baselight 5.0 at NAB 2016.
Baselight 5.0 is the new version of FilmLight’s high-performance flagship color finishing system. Baselight 5.0 introduces a radical step change in the way that professional colorists and other creative artists across the production process can add value and quality to productions – all boosted with over 50 new features.
The most notable new concept to improve color grading techniques is Base Grade. To give colorists natural, instinctual access to subtle grading, this creative tool moves away from the traditional lift/gamma/gain approach, to a set of controls which mimic the way the eye appreciates color: via exposure, temperature and balance. It gives the grading controls a more natural feel and results in smooth, consistent changes.
Baselight 5.0 also provides added HDR capabilities through color space ‘families’ – which hugely simplify the deliverables process for distinct viewing environments such as television, 4k projection and handheld devices. Baselight 5.0 also added gamut optimization to provide natural gamut mapping deliverables and avoid clipping when captured colors can’t be displayed on a cinema or television screen.
Baselight 5.0 streamlines workflows even further by introducing a completely new approach to remote grading, whereby Baselight workstations in different locations can collaborate. New software release Baselight 5.0 will be available for all BLG-enabled products from FilmLight, including the Daylight dailies and media management platform, as well as Baselight for Avid and Baselight for NUKE in the Baselight Editions range.
