Redefining the possibilities for professional colourists

Take a look at the world’s most powerful colour grading and finishing system for film, TV, commercials and broadcast.

Baselight extends the palette of creative colour grading. Its unique and flexible layer architecture – now enhanced with implicit alpha handling and expanded into a multitrack timeline – give you the creativity, confidence and control to handle even the most complex of projects.

X Grade

X Grade allows you to make multiple localised and complex corrections in a single layer – without having to create a key or matte.

It’s a totally new method of creative primary correction, as revolutionary as Base Grade was for HDR grading.

World-class support

We believe in what we do.

Whether you need guidance on a colour pipeline or have a question about the latest colour tools, we’re always available to help. 

Integrated, natural image effects

From Lens Flare, which allows complex flares to be built up in simple individual stages, to Bokeh, which can be combined with a depth matte to produce beautifully natural looking shots with a more filmic depth of field, to Halation, and more…

Baselight makes the most challenging of effects simple to achieve.

Face Track

Using an underlying machine learning model Face Track finds all the faces in a scene and tracks them, adjusting smoothly as each face moves and turns throughout a shot.

And you can copy and paste the correction to the same face across the entire timeline, or to a different face if you need to. 

Chromogen look development

Chromogen has been produced by FilmLight’s image engineers alongside the world’s foremost colour creatives, and is designed from the ground up to produce scene-referred looks.

Not all facilities require the power and functionality of a full Baselight system. That’s why Baselight Editions provides premier colour correction directly within your Avid, NUKE or Flame workflow. 

Deliverables

Need to deliver for Dolby Vision? No problem. DCP? Of course. IMF? Absolutely.

Baselight provides unparalleled support for the very latest in delivery formats. And you can rest assured that as these standards develop and change, we’re ready for it.

Unrivalled colour science

FilmLight is renowned for its expertise in colour science. And Truelight Colour Spaces have brought this into the realm of digital cinematography.

They allow colour space conversions to be performed with the speed, accuracy, and dynamic range permitted by native floating-point GPU functionality. 

Unique, flexible layer architecture

Baselight has a unique and powerful layer compositing timeline that gives you the creativity, confidence and control to handle even the most complex of projects. It provides a clear view on the underlying node tree that it represents, and also provides a shot-aware edit mode, multi-track support, and implicit alpha handling.

What colourists say about Baselight

Don’t just take our word for it.

Baselight runs seamlessly with Apple’s CPU/GPU architecture, making it a real ‘plug and play’ solution.
Being able to work with the system I trust has been empowering and it has allowed me to continue focusing on colour grading as I enter this new chapter of running my own business.

X Grade has refined the process of selective colour work. It has improved my productivity, as it offers a cleaner way of interacting with imagery without the convoluted process of colour space conversions and controls that are not quite optimal.

One of the key benefits is that it is almost impossible to ‘break’ footage with Chromogen. It’s the equivalent of being able to adjust and fix parts of a LUT.
It’s incredibly unique and I believe we will look back on the release of Chromogen as a key moment in the evolution of DI – as the first true look development tool.

The new UI is great, being able to collapse big timeline stacks is a really useful feature, and being able to lock grades to do trim passes is brilliant.

Baselight 6.0 adds great new creative tools - things that make the arduous task of grading actually fun. I don’t think any other software comes close.
