Apple Color For Mac

Apple Color is the Apple vetted color grading application that enables you to create adjustments on your Final Cut Pro projects. The utility is able to perform color correction tasks on standard definition, high definition, or 2K videos.

What’s more, Apple Color integrates perfectly with the Final Cut Pro application, which means that you can easily send a recording from Final Cut to Color for color grading, and then send the output back to the video editor.

Apple Color is part of the Final Cut Pro Studio, and as a result, it will be installed on your Mac when you deploy the suite. However, the Pro Application Update contains the patch that upgrades the Apple Color app to the latest version.

The updater package comes with its own installer which means that the whole process is greatly simplified. However, keep in mind that other utilities will also be patched: Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Apple Qmaster, and Cinema Tools.

Apple Color can be employed to color correct your videos image by adjusting various controls that will change the contrast, shadow, midtone, highlights, the color channel, and so on. The utility can also deal with secondary color corrections, which involves user shapes, vignettes, HSL qualifiers, and more.

Apple Color can deal with Pan and Scan effects, integrates motion tracking capabilities, and makes sure the output matches quality control standards. Accessing all these tools proves to be fairly intuitive, thanks to the intuitive and streamlined user interface.

If you have the Apple Final Cut Pro Studio installed on your Mac, running the Pro Application Update is highly recommended: the installer will patch, among other utilities, the Apple Color app, which is developed by Apple to help you deal with color grading tasks.
