Eyeon Software Inc. announces that it has added
support for the IRIDAS .Look file format in its award-winning Fusion 5.2
compositing application. Visual effects artists can now load non-destructive
looks created with the SpeedGrade applications in Fusion, ensuring color
accuracy when assembling composites - and an unbroken color pipeline from
production to film finishing.
Fusion 5.2, now available, includes numerous enhancements designed to
improve workflow efficiency for the artist. Among compositing tools, Fusion
offers the broadest selection of third party plug-in functionality. The
IRIDAS .Look file format provides a simple means for creating, storing, and
sharing color information as editable metadata. The .Look file format is
supported by a growing list of camera, hardware, and software vendors.
With the new Fusion integration, compositors will be able to import .Looks
and apply them as nodes within Fusion. "This takes the guess work out of
color," said IRIDAS COO Patrick Palmer. "Color certainty means a more
efficient workflow for the artist and for the production as a whole."
"The SpeedGrade .Look format is one of the few open file formats out there,"
said Isaac Guenard, Senior Product Manager at eyeon. "Interoperability
between applications is so important for real world production and that is
why we value what IRIDAS is doing."
See Fusion 5.2 at IBC at the Eyeon booth (7.320). Meet IRIDAS and see
SpeedGrade during IBC at the Ciprico booth (7.709). IBC will take place at
the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam, September 7 through 11.
