Cineform "First Light" Press Release

Tim Bickford · April 4th, 2009, 10:51 AM

Will there be a Waveform monitor & Vectorscope included similar to the way Color Finesse does it?

David Newman · April 4th, 2009, 11:02 AM

Maybe in time, histograms first. First Light doesn't quite sit in the traditional color correction realm, we will be adding more of those classic displays over time.

I have 2 Neo HDV licenses, and I have to say First Light may induce me to upgrade one or both to Neo HD. Will the white balance adjustment give you something comparable to the on-camera white balance? In other words would this be a little like Raw file exposure adjustment for a DSLR in post-processing?

Yes, that is the goal. First Light will linearize your source enabling you to do white balance and other RAW style corrections.

Thanks, David, that's fantastic.

David, would you be able to post a screen shot of First Light for those of us who will not be able to make it out to NAB?

David Taylor · April 7th, 2009, 05:49 PM

Brian, take a look here: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/cineform-...a-testers.html. Granted, there are some controls below the Window on the right side as the image has been cut, but you get the gist from the photo. We can post another with the uncut bottom controls when Tim releases the next Alpha in the next day or so.

Thank you David. Looking forward to seeing this in action!
