TOOLS & EQUIPMENT

Work With Tools Used in Professional Post-Production

FilmLight Baselight - Professional colour-grading and DI software

Baselight is considered widely used for high-end colour grading and DI workflows for high-end color grading and DI work, built on strong color science alongside its grading toolset. It's used for raw format handling across Sony, RED, ARRI, Blackmagic cameras, and both manual/automatic conform via EDL and XML. This is what is used in professional feature-film finishing workflows.

Autodesk Lustre - legacy/high-end finishing

Still listed among the core toolset in professional DI studios alongside DaVinci Resolve, Baselight, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro X.

Assimilate Scratch

Not directly quoted above, but referenced by the same industry veteran as a serious competitor: its XML architecture is considered particularly powerful, making it a common choice where flexible metadata/conform handling matters.
