Red Giant Offload pretty much works with every camera/memory card system out there, according to Red Giant. Anyways, LUT Buddy is popular industry tool for using LUTs. This is an age old problem for photographers. It’s kind of like when you have a photo that looks good on your screen but when you print it out it’s too dark, etc. Well, when you print it to actual film it may look different due to the color cast, contrast of the film, etc. Let’s say you have color corrected your video project and it looks good on your calibrated monitor. Red Giant LUT Buddy will generate Look Up Tables for use in Adobe After Effects and Premiere. Essentially, Look Up Tables are little formulas for color that help you get your footage to look good in its final medium – which could be actual printed film, for instance. As far as compatibility goes for that sequence exporting feature, PluralEyes does work with the major video editing programs: FCP7, FCPX, Premiere, Avid, and Sony Vegas.Ībove: A detail of the PluralEyes interface Some FCPX users will still use PluralEyes because you can actually still sync inside PluralEyes and then export a sequence for use in FCPX, but I don’t really need to use that step. So for me, I don’t really need PluralEyes. If you use Final Cut Pro X, as I do, you know that there is now a built-in audio sync feature. PluralEyes has always been great and continues to be one of the best in the game. If you learned on Final Cut Pro 7, like I did, you probably learned to use PluralEyes when syncing your DSLR footage with the external audio that you recorded. It was the first Red Giant product that I had ever heard of and has always been a reliable solution for synching audio and video. Red Giant PluralEyes is technically an entire program of its own, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility. Below is a quick breakdown of each of those. I took it for a spin and will explain what’s in the package in case you are shopping around for tools like these. Here’s what you get for $299 ($149 for an academic license): PluralEyes, Offload, Denoiser II, Instant 4K, LUT Buddy, and Frames.
