HyColour Pro Key Features

All your core exposure and colour tools in one placeW

Whilst FCPX is cool, the colour correction interface can seem clumsy and unfamiliar to new users. With HyColour you have access to all the core colour correction tools in one place. And if you’re a Lightroom or Aperture user, you’ll feel right at home.

Featuring:

• White Balance with auto exposure compensation
• Fine tune white balance with Warm Hue and Cool Hue
• Overall Exposure control
• Individual control over Highlights, Mid Tones and Shadows
• Saturation Control
• Change the overall bias of the image with Green-Magenta and Yellow-Blue
  (great for matching footage from different cameras after a multi-camera shoot)
• Smooth controls. All of the sliders operate within real world limits.

The incredible one-click green cast removal tool

Shooting under fluorescent light? It often leaves a green cast that can be hard to get rid of. HyColour’s one click removal tool works like magic!

Circular Masks

Isolate part of your image with a circular mask, stretch and pull it’s shape and scale with the on-screen controls. Keyframe it’s properties. A dimming background helps you to position it precisely and a handy bright green border reminds you to turn it off before you render.

8 Point Freeform Masks

As an alternative, isolate your image using an 8 point freeform mask. Push and pull each point to fit your image. Keyframe it’s position, rotation and scale. It’s easy with HyColour PRO.

Compare Modes

You can view your grade in 6 different ways, and with the new Compare with Reference Mode, you can compare your current edit with any clip in the timeline or event library. Great for keeping consistency between shots.
