Technicolor Enhances
Color Assist
Technicolor has announced version
1.5 of Technicolor Color Assist, the
company’s video color correction and grading software package.
Key improvements of version 1.5
include compatibility with Adobe After
Effects and support for AVCHD video and
still images. Color Assist 1.5 draws on Technicolor’s deep heritage in color science to
bring powerful studio color grading and
color correction to users who want professional-quality results.
“The professional postproduction
tools Adobe offers enable our customers to
create high-quality productions,” says
Simon Williams, director of strategic relations at Adobe. “Color Assist 1.5 builds on
its existing support for Adobe Premiere Pro
by adding compatibility with Adobe After
Effects, therefore giving the postproduction
community more choices in the tools they
use in their workflow. Creative professionals
are always squeezed for time, and Color
Assist 1.5 is quick and powerful.”
Version 1.5 also includes important
workflow improvements — such as Pixelmeter, improved bin and browser navigation, and workspace customization — that
make the software easier than ever to learn
and use. Color Assist is currently available
for both Mac and PC users and supports a
growing list of video production suites,
including Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X,
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and higher, and
