Hollywood-Level Color Grading

A full creative finishing surface — layers, primaries, look controls, tone curve, secondaries, and scopes — so AI and camera clips earn a real grade before they ever hit the timeline.

Build a look in layers — every tool stays editable

Stack like a suite: isolate a sky, protect a face, push a look — disable or reorder any layer without baking the shot.

Lift Gamma Gain Offset Per-channel RGB

Shadow lift Highlight rolloff Tone curve Blend Masks Scopes

The toolset is complete for finishing footage — balance, look, tonal shape, curve, secondary isolation, and monitoring in one place.

Tone curve and vectorscope live beside this dock — same layer, same undo stack.

Creative finishing, not a toy filter. When generators spit out clips that almost match — or a multi-cam day drifts — you need the same language a colourist expects: lift / gamma / gain, look controls, a real curve, secondaries that hold, and scopes that tell you the truth. Transduce puts that kit on every clip before export, so the timeline inherits footage that already carries intention.

Work non-destructively. Put balance on one layer, a warmer look on another, a skin qualifier on a third. Compare Active Layer views, dial opacity, undo freely. Hand a clean, editable-looking conform to Resolve or your suite of record when you want full DI tools — keyframing and LUT factories stay there by design.

The complete grading kit

Everything you reach for while building a look — organised the way finishing suites think.

Surface What you get Creative use
Primaries Lift · Gamma · Gain · Offset + RGB Balance exposure and cast; master wheels plus per-channel for intentional colour
Look controls Brightness · Contrast · Saturation · Hue Push density, pivot contrast, vivify or mute, shift the palette
Tonal shaping Shadow lift · Highlight rolloff · Blend Open deep toes, tame bright skies, wet/dry mix the finish
Tone curve Bezier control points S-curves, soft roll-off, custom contrast without baking the stack
Secondaries Qualifiers on any layer Isolate skin, sky, product — analytical masks that stay stable frame to frame · Masking
Layer stack Opacity · order · enable Separate balance from look from local work — Layers
Monitoring Waveform · Vectorscope Watch blacks, mids, skin line while you grade · Waveform & Vectorscope
Scene helpers Match · Auto Normalize Pull siblings into the hero look as editable layers · Color Match

How colourists work here

A short creative path — same beats you’d use in any finishing bay, adapted to Transduce’s Scene workflow.

Beat What you do
1 · Balance Get exposure and white point honest with LGGO / Auto Normalize — primaries first, always
2 · Look Build intention on a new layer: contrast, sat, hue, tonal shape, curve
3 · Isolate Qualifier a skin or window layer when the global grade shouldn’t touch everything
4 · Unify Match siblings to the hero for Scene consistency, then fine-tune each Match layer
5 · Confirm Read waveform and vectorscope; export a finished-looking clip set into editorial

Professional foundation

Reference — The Colour Science Behind Transduce ACEScg working space, matrices, round-trip fidelity, and ACES scope. The deep tech that proves the grade is trustworthy.
Open colour science

Grading happens in ACEScg — the Academy’s published scene-linear working space — so balances, looks, and AI resize all operate in honest light. Enough said here: the colour science reference carries the matrices and measurements.
