Firefly Cinema recently announced V6 of its colour grading software suite which includes: FirePlay (for playback), FireDay (for digital dailies) and FirePost (for colour finishing). Used on hundreds of feature films (Planetarium, The History of Love, Belle and Sebastien), FireFly Cinema solutions provide an integrated and production-wide approach to managing colour workflows on-set, through dailies and postproduction. Unlike other solutions, the FireFly Cinema applications are built to be faster, less complicated, and more affordable for independent filmmakers as well as big budget features.

Thanks to FireFly Cinema’s unique SaaS licensing model, productions pay only for what they need when they need it. For V6, an enhanced graphical interface has been developed to make the product suite even more intuitive for new and existing users alike.

FirePlay is a free on-set playback and previewing tool that can handle almost any camera format and provides simple professional colour grading. It’s the starting point of the FireFly set-to-finishing workflow. The Live Grading option enables live viewing of colour decisions on a professional monitoring setup. Colour grading settings are sent automatically to an external LUT box, which provides real-time previews on a calibrated monitor. For V6, FireFly expanded support for the latest LUT hardware from Teradek COLR, FSI’s monitors and BoxIO devices, Off Hollywood’s OMOD, and Panasonic’s VariCam. Users can now perform real-time colour grading and can read any type of RAW file in a calibrated environment. FireDay is a digital dailies management tool that handles any camera format, provides live grading, offers professional colour grading, manages all sync, backup, versioning and rendering, and generates helpful colour metadata throughout the workflow.

With FireDay Studio and the Live Grading option, users have an all-in-one solution at an affordable price point. In V6, FireDay added support for Teradek COLR, FSI’s monitors and BoxIO devices, and Off Hollywood’s OMOD, plus support for ACES v1.0.3, and Aspera integration. FirePost is for colourists working in finishing suites and colour laboratories, who need a powerful colouring tool that offers unlimited creative primary and secondary grading, great-looking colour effects, wide compatibility, managed rendering and collaborative workflow support for larger teams. In V6, FirePost added GLSL shader support. When working with full resolution images, Pixelspan’s Bit Exact Round Trip compression format is now supported with the addition of a Pixspan license.

“What sets FireFly Cinema apart for me is the all-in-one solution it provides. Optimised for professional lab environments with colour management deeply embedded in all aspects of the software, it is a fully scalable solution that allows us to service anything from a single feature to several episodic TV shows in parallel.” says Dado Valentic, an award winning colour grading artist and founder of Mytherapy, a creative studio for digital colour correction and motion picture retouching. “With FireFly Cinema, ACES support is integral as well as all variants of HDR. We have been able to customise our workflows and easily respond to client special requests.” Additional New Features in FireFly Cinema Version 6:. ALF-2 ARRI Look File support. Red R3D SDK 6.2 support (8k). Custom adjustable ODT (Output Device Transform) in the project.

RAW format support for Sony X-OCN. Avid DNX HR codec support. Tangent Ripple control panel support. Newly redesigned user interface targeted at new users. To improve production workflows to and from other systems, export options have been revamped and improved for V6. It is now possible to export directly from the gallery, the timeline, or pool media. Additionally, 3D LUTs can be exported in the most commonly used industry formats.

The FirePlay application is free and can be.
