Color Correcting

Mark Dobson wrote: It's a shame that applications such as Hawaiki Color don't have a white balancing tool.

As you know, Mark, Hawaiki AutoGrade has been available for a few months now, offering very extensive white balance and auto-correction capabilities based on the use of not just one but three pickers (for Global, White and Black).

And now we have just released AutoGrade 2.0 which gives you the ability to correct your shot in one-hit based simply on selecting the skin tones in your shot for some really impressive results. As anyone who has done any color grading knows, getting the skin tone right is the key challenge and AutoGrade now makes that as easy as a single click.

And among many other feature and workflow enhancements, AutoGrade 2.0 is now available across multiple host applications besides FCP X, including Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, as well as Final Cut Pro 7 and Motion 5.

AutoGrade is much more than a white balance plug-in - it's the easiest and quickest way there is to make any shot look great.

See here for a brief overview of what's new in this upgrade.

All the best,

Simon

Recently I bought Auto Grade. On thing that confuses me is when I click on Auto nothing happens what so ever. When I click on Quick fix the clip turns completely dark. I have tried several clips and get the same result

Sorry to hear you are having problems.

AutoGrade requires you to make at least one selection from your image - for simplicity you can start by using the Global picker to select an area of the shot which should be a neutral grey/white and this will give a very good instant, one-hit result. Click the Autobalance enable button to see the correction.

Have a look at this Tutorial for more details, or consult the online Manual .

And here's the Tutorial for using new new feature in AutoGrade 2.0.

If you need any more detailed help please do contact me or Rob direct on Hawaiki support .

All the best,

Simon

Pleased to hear you've got it working

Just a correction from a comment above. I believe the new Davinci Resolve Lite can now do 4k (UHD) output... for free.

If you want the noise reduction and multi-GPU support, you'll have to still use the full version.

I just bought Hawaii Color because it looks promising. After installation I just can't get it to work. When I pick Hawaii Color in the Effects tab and place it in my timeline, all controls show up in the inspector but no matter what I do in terms of making changes, nothing happens and the image remains the same. Does anyone have an idea?
