When it was first released, Color Finale filled a critical element missing in Final Cut Pro — that of professional color grading features.
We want to thank our users for choosing Color Finale 2 Pro and our other products like LUT Manager and Transcoder 2 for their video projects in 2024.
Over the past year, we’ve been thrilled to see the positive response as we’ve switched to annual updates for our software products. This change means we can work on more frequent, powerful improvements—giving you the tools you need to stay ahead in your post-production and colour grading workflow.
Color Finale 2 Pro continues to stand apart from the built-in color grading tools in Final Cut Pro. Recent updates, including the AI Person Mask for quick and precise masks, and expanded Film Emulation tools further cement it as a one-stop shop for colour grading in Final Cut Pro. Now that Apple have fully transitioned to FxPlug 4, plugins have reliable performance again, including Color Finale 2.
Transcoder 2, our app for preparing raw media for editing, also saw major improvements. With direct N-RAW and BRAW support on the Final Cut Pro timeline, a standalone mode, and the ability to save to anywhere on disk, transcoding is now faster and more flexible than ever. No more back-and-forth between apps—the logistics of shooting in raw have been simplified.
With the recently debuted 2-in-1 LUTs, you can now apply a LUT to manufacturer-specific log footage, converting it to Rec.709, while in the same step adding a color grade. It's a huge time-saver for any editor or creator.
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and 2025 is already looking exciting. Keep your feedback coming—we’re listening. From all of us at Color Finale, happy new year!
