Product Overview FilmLight Baselight 6.0

Premier colour correction directly within your workflow

Redefining the possibilities for professional colourists
Baselight 6.0 extends the palette of creative colour grading. Go beyond traditional tools with revolutionary takes on primary grading, look generation, tracking and much more.

These features coupled with Baselight’s unique and flexible layer architecture – now enhanced with implicit alpha handling and expanded into a multitrack timeline – give you the creativity, confidence and control to handle even the most complex of projects.

Grade without secondaries
Grade is a revolutionary new primary colour correction tool which saves colourists valuable time when working on image reshaping. It allows colourists to make multiple localised and complex corrections in a single layer – without having to create a key or matte.

Grade works with images gently and sympathetically and, unlike other tools on the market, ensures that corrections do not result in folds in the colour space, meaning they can be safely copied to shots with a completely different colour palette.

Chromogen brings look development to the modern age

Look development is not grading. It’s more like engineering a new camera film stock. Traditional grading tools, no matter how good they are, are just not designed for this work. And LUT generators are for the bygone age of limited dynamic range and restricted deliverables.

Chromogen is designed from the ground up to produce scene-referred looks, and has been specifically developed to meet the challenges of modern wide-dynamic-range camera data. It combines advanced colour sector manipulation with stages – addressing characteristics such as Colour Saturation, Colour Crosstalk, Highlight
Bleaching, Brilliance Reduction and more – that can be easily reordered.

FilmLight has recreated existing looks using Chromogen to act as a guide to build your own, as well as allowing you to make nuanced edits to your established favourites.

Accelerate beauty work with Face Track

Using an underlying machine learning model, Face Track finds and tracks faces in a scene, adjusting smoothly as each face moves and turns. It attaches a polygon mesh to each face, which allows perspective-aware tools such as Paint and Shapes to distort with the mesh.

The colourist’s productivity is further boosted by the ability to copy corrections and enhancements made in Face Track to the entire timeline – with a simple copy and paste, these previously repetitive corrections can be applied to the same face across an entire sequence or episode.

A new vision for the Baselight timeline

With Baselight 6.0, colourists can find a completely re-envisioned Baselight timeline. While still retaining a familiar look and feel, the timeline now boosts a much cleaner and more modern user interface.

It also integrates a host of handy new functionality, such as track support and a new ‘processing tree overlay’ to provide a clearer view on the underlying node tree that it represents, plus much more.

Baselight OpenFX plugin support

Baselight supports a range of OFX plugins, including alternative tools for adding grain, grain management, print and film emulation, retiming and upscaling, as well as tools with a wide range of creative effects.
