Issue with Technicolor Color Assist Plugin

Technicolor Color Assist - Workflow


Screenshot_14_03_2013_08_27
Having used the Technicolor Cinestyle profile in the Canon 7D, I was very interested in the release of Color Assist by Technicolor as a grading tool. Color Assist is a low cost grading tool that fits easily into an editing workflow and provides real time performance. Although it is a low cost solution ($99) like with any software that offers a trial copy, I downloaded the trial to kick the tyres and see what it can offer, where it would fit in my workflow, and whether it would fit it. Bearing in mind that I have access to Apple Color, Adobe SpeedGrade, Magic Bullet, and of course the built in tools found in FCP and Adobe Premiere. What I have come up with is a list of small enhancements and modifications to workflow that will enable:
  • Basic Workflow
  • Multiple secondaries in Color Assist.
  • Compound looks
  • Organising your saved ‘looks’ on a per project basis
  • Using Color Assist with read only media sources.
