Hi.

Is there a way to simulate a graduated filter when using FL and not color correct the all picture?

Thanks!

No there isn't, currently. Gradients and Vignettes are on my list.

Really? All through metadata?
That is really cool

SpeedGrade is my main grading tool. When I safe a .look done with primaries and secondaries (key only, no masks) I can assign this .look to CF footage via metadata. With the above mentioned Gradients and Vignettes I will be able to store masks additionally in this .look file.

If you now find the technology to store keyframes in your metadata we have a grading workflow with all the bells and whistles without the need of rendering. Have you ever thought about this?

We are added key frames. I had not thought of using the extra data in the .look for store gradients, I don't think that matches our workflow (but it might.) To do vignettes correctly, processing should be on linear light, and the current input to the 3D look engine is curved (log/gamma.)
