Color grading is an essential part of every project and Apple Color brings you the toolset to give your footage the final shine.  You deserve more than "button pushing" training, so Creative Color Grading with Apple Color takes you beyond the basics of "how" and into the "what" and the "why" of color grading.

The aim of this course is to take you through the process of problem-solving and designing various grades that match the issues people face when working with Apple Color.  These include working with difficult footage, matching the narrative needs of the footage with color design and mastery of the ColorFX Room and LUTs.

Film Wash Color Effects - Full Creative Color Grades for Busy People

Color grading is the final touch you give to your footage, and it can completely transform the look and emotional impact of your video.  We like to think of it as the final loving kiss for your projects.  Film Wash Color Effects is a set of filters designed with one purpose - to take your footage from the ordinary to the unique.  We're not talking about regular, simple color correction presets  - Film Wash works in specific ways to give the video a deep, textured rinse.

Ready for Action - A Source of Inspiration

All the Film Wash looks are ready to use, straight out of the box.  We know that not all footage reacts in the same way to a color grade, so everything is still fully customisable.  Make quick tweaks if you need to, and the included video tutorial will guide you through the most effective ways to do that.

Compatible with After Effects CS5

Film Wash Color Effects for After Effects works perfectly on adjustment layers.  This is important.  It means you can dial back the effect to the strength you need, and even better, you can mix Looks together to create extra depth to your picture with infinite possibilities.
