For over a decade, Color Finale has been empowering Final Cut Pro users with advanced, intuitive, and professional-grade color grading tools. With the launch of Color Finale 2 Pro, we introduced a simple, transparent licensing system that remains true to its roots: when you buy Color Finale 2 Pro, the license is yours forever.
Yet since the introduction of our Annual Software Support Program, we’ve noticed some confusion. Some users mistakenly think Color Finale has switched to a subscription model. Let’s clear the air.
One-time purchase, lifetime license: When you purchase Color Finale 2 Pro, you receive a permanent license. That means you own the software outright. It will continue working for you indefinitely - whether you choose to renew support or not.
One year of support and updates included: Every new purchase comes with 12 months of free support and updates. This ensures you get the latest tools, bug fixes, and improvements during your first year.
The Color Finale Annual Software Support Program is an optional renewal after your first year. It gives you continued access to:
Regular feature updates – We’ve rolled out numerous new tools and improvements over the past year, all designed to make your color grading workflow faster, more creative, and more powerful.
Ongoing compatibility – Stay fully compatible with the latest versions of macOS and Final Cut Pro.
Priority support – Direct access to our expert support team whenever you need help.
If you decide not to renew, your copy of Color Finale 2 Pro will still work exactly as it did on the day your support expired - you don’t lose your license or access to the software.
Our users tell us again and again how much they value the continuous flow of features we’ve added since launching the program (view the release notes here). From workflow refinements to entirely new tools, these updates are inspired by the real challenges and creative desires of our community while staying true to the familiar and intuitive interface you love inside Final Cut Pro.
With more updates already in development, renewing support ensures you don’t miss out on what’s next.
Color Finale 2 Pro is not a subscription. It’s a perpetual license. Once you own it, it’s yours for life. The annual support program is simply your ticket to stay at the cutting edge: new features, compatibility updates, and professional support.
In short:
Buy once, own forever.
1 year of updates and support included.
Option to renew support annually for continued updates and assistance.
Keep using Color Finale 2 Pro indefinitely, even without renewing.
Color Finale 2 Pro is here to stay - helping you achieve stunning results in Final Cut Pro, now and for the future.
