Baselight PLUS

Since the beginning of this month FilmLight is offering its users and post houses Baselight PLUS, a new option that aims to optimize the color correction workflow.

Baselight PLUS is presented as a complete package whose heart would be Baselight‘s own software, capable of real-time 4K image color correction and equipped with the high-performance creative tools that have made it one of the world’s favorite systems.

The software is coupled with the high-performance Supermicro tower, which features 24TB of internal RAID storage and 2TB of SSD for fast non-linear access.

Operation will be via the Slate controller, a version of the Blackboard 2 in a more compact form factor. It provides the same adaptive buttons, screen display and responsive trackball system as the full controller.

Also included are two licenses of Baselight Editions, the color correction plugins that allow you to work within Avid (on Mac and PC) or Final Cut Pro editing systems. Thanks to them you can go back and forth from a complete Baselight system, without the need to render to export the color metadata to the editor and being able to make final adjustments here or return them non-destructively to the color room.

Baselight Editions support all the functionalities of the complete system, including advanced techniques for shape creation, tracking and secondary corrections. To ensure confidence in the display monitor, Truelight calibration and management software is included.

The complete package is priced at $65,000. Also included is the latest Baselight 4.4 upgrade, installation (if required), and one year of both software and hardware support. More information is available at this link.

And if you want to learn how to use this and many other color correction systems, I recommend that you sign up for the Master of Color Correction, where you will practice with all the current color tools for video and DI and learn all the technical concepts necessary to be a colorist.
