Eyeon Announces Fusion Support for SpeedGrade .Look
Format
IRIDAS’ Color Pipeline Extended to Award-Winning
Compositing Application
Toronto: August 23, 2007 ... 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."
