Installing Baselight was extremely simple, and the Baselight tool is accessible in the Media Composer Effect Palette as a filter that you can drag and drop onto a clip like any other effect tool. Making color for recurring locations match (shot on different days) was a big thing for this project, so where I would normally have waited until the roundtrip into Resolve to address color issues, I instead used the Baselight color tool to do a temp grade in Avid and fix some problems early on.īaselight was an incredibly useful tool for client screenings and test screeningsalready having a color grade smoothed out so that I was only getting editorial notes, and not questions about whether or not a sequence is working because the color difference is so drastic. As the editor of the final episode of a first season, I was tasked with presenting a coherent episode that stylistically and aesthetically matched the previous episodes, which were much further along in editorial when I got started. On a recent project editing the final episode in a television series, I used the Baselight plugin from an early stage in my edit until picture lock. During my time within the Baselight plugin, I mainly tested out applying base color correction for individual shots, applying LUTs to a timeline, and then customizing color per shot, custom curves, and temporal noise reduction/ degrain for dark, noisy shots.
With a complete color grading suite, Baselight Editions V5 is a dynamic tool to use within Media Composer, allowing you to ditch the roundtrip for your color grade. Filmlight recently released Baselight Editions V5 for Avid Media Composer: a powerful color tool in an AVX plugin.
