FilmLight has introduced Baselight S and Baselight M, the software-only subscription versions of its Baselight grading solution running on the Apple macOS platform.
The new solutions offer the same features as high-end Baselight Linux systems and come with FilmLight’s 24/7 user support.
“Since we first launched Baselight over 20 years ago, the industry, the technology, and the role of the colourist have all changed dramatically,” says Wolfgang Lempp, co-founder and director at FilmLight. “What hasn’t changed is FilmLight’s commitment to supporting current and future generations of colourists and facility owners. The introduction of Baselight S and Baselight M is FilmLight’s response to the increasing demand for a more flexible and scalable high-end grading solution.”
Baselight S is a budget-friendly option for independent freelance colourists, providing the grading features of Baselight without advanced collaboration tools.
Baselight M is designed for facilities that require multi-user interconnectivity, such as with Baselight CONFORM and Baselight ASSIST. It allows facilities and smaller shops to ramp up their grading and finishing capability, while enabling the same workflow and colour pipeline used in their high-end suites – also allowing assistant colourists to progress professionally.
Baselight S and Baselight M are both available as a 3-month or 12-month licence.
Ana Escorse, freelance colourist in Toronto, has been part of the Baselight for macOS beta programme.
Baselight for macOS is also compatible with FilmLight’s Slate control surface as well as external control panels such as the Tangent Wave and Element panels; Baselight M also supports Blackboard Classic.
FilmLight will continue to offer its established turnkey solutions.
