Color Finale Pro 1.8.1 Upgrade Path For

Heres one of them: Most companies that fail spend 80 of their time and resources chasing new customers, and 20 on keeping the ones they have.

See screenshot. Error produced when CF Pro is put onto clip: A Fatal OpenCL Error has occurred and Color Finale is being disabled.

Error: setting argument for sop failed (-38) Anybody else experienced this.

You would think they would be part of the developer program and would have this all tested and worked out before they launch new versions.

Their latest release did work perfectly in the 10.4.3 version of FCPX and they never launched any new version since.

They did email all registered users and notified them that Color Finale would not work in the latest 10.4.4 release of FCPX and to wait before updating until an updated Color Finale is shortly released (if their app is essential to your workflow).

They were proactive about this and should be fixing the issue soon.

Unless theyre expanding their development resources, as a small company, theyd be stretched otherwise.

I own CFP, but Cinema Grade looks like the evolved version of it.

They want 150 for CG, and there is no upgrade path for Color Finale.

Hopefully that wont happen and hopefully they offer some kind of upgrade path for existing loyal users, especially if CFP is not going to be supported.

I do think Cinema Grade has a somewhat different target market.

Whereas, over time, theres more duplication between Color Finale and FCPXs own grading tools, Cinema Grade offers a very different approach.

I do think improvements in FCPX has impacted Color Finale and maybe Coremelts Chromatic as well.

Chromatic still has a built in tracker but I cant help but think that will be inn FCPX 10.5.

I think FCPX is evolving in color grading much as Resolve is evolving as an editor.

They have some philosophical differences in approach but I think Apple has good motive to advance the grading features in FCPX and the Comparison Viewer is good step forward.

Add tracking and a visual display of LUTS (both Color Finale and Chromatic do that) seems to be the next logical step forward in FCPX.

Adding built in Video Noise Reduction is also in that category as Resolve has that feature.

All that said, it would be nice if ColorGradingCentral had a customer loyalty reward for those who may want to consider Cinema Grade.

Not trying to be argumentative, but there is a big splash on the main page that says: Cinema Grade Plugin.

I guess I just feel like this is a very similar product to color Finale, and should have just been an upgrade.

Its their business and they can set the model they want to follow.

But for me this is just Color Finale II with a new name and rebranding it as Cinema Grade and not offering some kind of loyalty incentive to color finale customers is bad PR and bad CRM.
