The best software for you to use also depends on your personal style of working.
There’s a tradeoff between the time you’ll spend learning to use an expanded set of tools before applying them, but in theory, you’ll get all that time back working more efficiently. One of the chief differentiating factors between today’s generation of color grading environments is the number of tools available to help you make focused adjustments, work more specifically, and hopefully more quickly.
Along these lines, I have four metrics you should consider when choosing a grading environment: I’m not going to take any sides here, because the price/performance/efficiency dial has many positions, and you can do well with any combination of apps and plugins you like providing you have the time and expertise for that solution. That said, not all apps are created equally in terms of the efficiency of working your way through a project as a colorist, and everyone has their own opinion about what software they prefer to use in that regard. All modern software that I’ve seen has perfectly good image processing, and each application I mentioned can boast of projects in cinemas, on television, and winning awards in high-profile film festivals proof that nobody is getting fired because of what they’re using. But, minutiae aside, I honestly think that when comparing the basic image processing features that comprise the bulk of one’s day to day adjustments, you can get where you need to go in ANY of the above solutions and produce a high-quality image. In terms of image quality, one could certainly choose to nitpick the quality and/or feature-richness of a particular operation in one application versus that in another comparing implementations of curves, or noise reduction features, or qualifiers.

I was wondering if you could answer a question that I’ve been wrestling with… Is any one software better in terms of QUALITY for color correction? …For instance, if I were to use a curves adjustment and then a three way color corrector theoretically using the exact same settings, would quality degradation be more or less prevalent in after effects, premiere, colorista, resolve, or speedgrade?Įveryone knows that I consult for DaVinci, and that Resolve is the software I use for both my client and personal work. That said, I’ve used many apps, have written about several, and as far as I’ve seen, you can do high quality work with the current version of just about every image-processing postproduction application on the market, be it Resolve, Baselight, Rio, Nucoda, SpeedGrade, Scratch, After Effects, Nuke, Symphony, Smoke, Flame, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, or plugins such as Magic Bullet, Colorista, what have you. I received a question from Anthony that reflects similar questions I’ve gotten from other folks around the world, paraphrased here:
