![]() ![]() This created opportunities for third party plugins, and they’ve taken advantage of these glorious days: Color Finale, Colorista, and more recently Chromatic, to name a few. If they didn’t like it, there was simply no other legacy color tools shipping with FCPX: no color wheels, no curves. For users, the problem wasn’t just to adapt and make the most of the Color Board. Gone were the Apple Color and 3-Way Color Wheels replaced by the “Color Board”. One of the main complaints was the built-in color toolset. FCPX 10.4: Is All Forgiven?īack in 2011, when Final Cut Pro X first shipped, there was a YUGE amount of complaints: every basic task for importing, editing, grading, monitoring and delivering was tossed aside. Also, notice that the latest Mac OS version (High Sierra) is needed to take advantage of some of the new features (H265 export and 360 VR tools, for example). You need to be running Mac OS 10.12.4 (Sierra) or later to update to FCPX 10.4. FCPX 10.4 New Features: mainly color correction enhancements This means that two-thirds of the enhancements added in this update are aimed at Final Cut Pro X color toolset. This new update is packed with many new features, but the highlights are 360 VR editing, advanced color grading, and high dynamic range videos. In Mid-December of 2017, Apple updated Final Cut Pro X to version 10.4. Hawaiki Analyzer is a separate purchase from Hawaiki Color and not in contention for the Desert Island Challenge – but it takes a very interesting approach to analyze the colors of our pixels… so I decided to take a few minutes at the end of this Insight and show it to you.Tutorials / FCPX 10.4 Update : Evaluating The New Color Correction Features Day 6: 24 Insights in 24 Days 2018 New Year Marathon Moving Towards A Better Color Grading Experience The Hawaiki Analyzer is also explored in this Video Insight As you’ll see in this Video Insight, the developers recognize this reaction and have given you options to minimize the UI’s impact on viewing your images as you color correct. If you don’t like the UI overlays from the product shots, I say: Give it a shot and play with the customization options. But once I personally loaded it up and saw the additional options for minimizing those controls, my opinion has softened considerably-to the point I consider this plug-in a viable contender in the FCPX Desert Island Challenge. When seeing YouTube demos of this plug-in – I hated the UI. In truth, at first, I was hostile to Hawaiki Color’s User Interface Its User Interface is very customizable and can be changed as you gain expertise in the filter to make it less obtrusive while putting the controls in the direct context of your image. The Hawaiki Color filter takes a completely different approach than the Color Finale and Colorista III filters we’ve previously looked at in this series. ![]() We start by looking at the Hawaiki Color and Hawaiki Analyzer filters Of those, I’ll be doing overviews of those filters I think are strong contenders to be ‘The One’ I select as the MVP for adding value to the base FCPX filter set. Kindly, Niclas Bahn (FX Factory creator) gave me licenses for all the color correction filters I thought looked interesting for the Desert Island Challenge. FX Factory has a range of color-related filters for us to explore The vast majority sit between the $49 and $99 price-point, making them appropriately affordable as overall prices for NLE and motion graphics software has dropped significantly over the years. Prices for FX Factory filters range from the ever-popular Free to $299. The FX Factory app allows you to download Trials, buy filters, activate and deactivate filters and also ships with a set of free plugins. They are a clearinghouse for over 20 different plug-in developers. FX Factory works with FCPX, Motion, After Effects and Premiere Pro. They have a free app that you download and it’ll manage all the plug-ins they deliver to you from a single interface. And if you don’t, consider yourself ‘clued in’ from this moment on. To paraphrase the FX Factory website they are: “The Plug-in App store for post-production software.” An App Store for filters is a good description of FX Factory If you work heavily in FCPX or Premiere Pro then you should know about FX Factory.
