The Tao of Color Grading Seminar
Colorist/Finisher/Trainer Patrick Inhofer will teach the simple fundamental Truths that affect anyone trying to evaluate, improve, and add emotional impact to moving images. These Truths can be applied across different software packages - whether just a simple contrast filter in a non-linear editor or a complex grade in a dedicated color grading app (such as Apple's Color or BlackMagic's DaVinci Resolve). In this newly updated version of the popular, The Tao of Color Grading Presentation, Patrick uses Final Cut Pro and Color, to help you:
- Understand the physical truths about the human vision system – that your eyes and brain conspire to work against your ability to really ‘see’ the images you are capturing and creating.
- Become enlightened about how to combat the aggressive manner in which our eyes lie to us.
- Learn how the underlying methods used to digitally compress and process video can be leveraged to your advantage in the color grading process.
- Walk away with a simple workflow which you can immediately employ for quick, efficient grading.
- Learn how to use powerful image evaluation tools that are already built into the software you’re using.
- Discover the one color correction filter you probably never use – but should, and is an essential tool in Patrick’s bag of tricks.
If time allows:
- You'll see a demonstration of the benefits of working with a control surface. Using the affordable and powerful Euphonix MC Color, Patrick will show how a control surface results in faster grading sessions while increasing the quality of the finished product.
About Patrick:

Guess who's seen the NEW VERSION of Final Cut Pro!!!...
I’ve Seen The New Version of Final Cut Pro…
Posted by Larry on February 23, 2011
… and it’s a jaw-dropper.
Last week, Apple invited a few folks, including me, to a short meeting in Cupertino where they previewed the up-coming version of Final Cut Pro.
While I am under NDA and can’t talk about what I saw, I CAN tell you the meeting happened and that it showcased the new Final Cut Pro.
While the invited crowd was small, it was a Who’s Who of leaders in the post-production community. I felt like I was standing on the red carpet at an awards show, watching all the stars walk past.
There will be LOTS to talk about as this project gets closer. For now, I recommend you subscribe to my monthly Final Cut Studio newsletter – because I’ll share all the news that I’m allowed to share in there first.
Tell your friends … its gonna be a great year.
Larry
P.S. If you feel the urge to email me for more information, keep in mind that Apple’s lawyers are bigger than your lawyers. So, until Apple lifts the NDA, I’m telling you all I can … for now.
Rod says: If that's not enough, wait till Thursday when Apple and Intel release new optical technology up to 100 Gigabit for your Mac!
