After going the traditional route...
...and stumbling for years trying to realize the high-end cinema look in post with confusing dated color controls, I realized there's an easier way. The quest would eventually lead me down the path of UX design. After creating the video filters for Instagram and launching software featured on the Apple website, we took all our best ideas and launched Cinema Grade in 2018. Since then thousands of filmmakers and top media companies from around the world are using the modern color grading plugin to get cinema quality results on their projects faster and easier in just minutes.

I bought Cinema Grade and holy crap it's been amazing! I'm only shooting SLog and I'm getting everything I've always had in my head. The first time I used it I had someone comment how well my video looked, and that for me is worth every penny.

I have never found such intuitive software for video colorimetry. I come from the world of photography and the possibility of working directly with a pointer on the image allows me to concentrate more on my creativity than on the technique side of the process.
