July includes two separate updates: one for Color Finale 2 Pro and one for Color Finale Transcoder 2. Color Finale 2 Pro receives new features focused on expanding color correction and image refinement, and Transcoder 2 now supports an additional raw video format for direct editing on the timeline without transcoding.

Color Finale 2 Pro 2.12

The 2.12 update for Color Finale 2 Pro includes a new skin tone hue option in the 6 Vectors tool. This addition allows for more targeted adjustments of skin tones, joining the existing primary and secondary color vectors. It enables finer hue corrections without impacting the rest of the image.

We’ve also introduced the all-new Texture Equalizer tool. Inspired by frequency separation techniques, it lets you selectively blur or sharpen different levels of texture in your footage. Whether you’re enhancing fine details or retouching skin, this tool opens up a powerful new layer of creative control.

This is a free update for users with active support. Download directly or ‘Check for Updates’ from the Color Finale app in the Applications folder.

If you haven’t tried Color Finale 2 Pro yet, it’s available as a 7-day free trial. The plugin is currently offered at a limited-time price of $149.

Color Finale Transcoder 2

The latest version of Color Finale Transcoder 2 (2.2.0) now supports Canon raw video (.CRM) files. This new format joins Blackmagic BRAW and Nikon N-RAW in the list of raw codecs compatible with editing directly on the Final Cut Pro timeline.

Unlike Final Cut Pro’s built-in Canon raw support, Transcoder 2.2 includes essential raw controls including ISO, white balance, exposure, and debayer quality — giving you greater control and image fidelity right on the timeline.

More information on Transcoder 2 is available on the Transcoder 2 homepage. Buy it from our store.

Whether you’re about to start a new color grading project or shooting content in raw formats, we hope these updates help you get the best end result possible. Thank you for your support!
