LONDON — FilmLight (www.filmlight.ltd.uk) has introduced affordable and accessible software-only subscription versions of its Baselight grading solution, running on the Apple macOS platform. Baselight S and Baselight M offer the same advanced features as high-end Baselight Linux systems and come with FilmLight’s 24/7 user support.
Baselight S is a budget-friendly option for the independent, freelance colorist, providing sophisticated grading features without advanced collaboration tools. Baselight M is designed for facilities that require multi-user interconnectivity, such as with Baselight Conform and Baselight Assist. It's designed to allow facilities and smaller shops to ramp up their grading and finishing capabilities, while providing the same workflow and color pipeline used in high-end suites. The release also gives assistant colorists the opportunity to advance their skills.
Both are available as three-month and 12-month licenses. Baselight for macOS is also compatible with FilmLight’s Slate control surface, as well as external control panels, such as the Tangent Wave and Element panels. Additionally, Baselight M supports Blackboard Classic. FilmLight will continue to offer its turnkey solutions.
