What It Does
ColorX handles color grading with simultaneous control over hue, saturation, lightness, and density on specific color ranges. It works in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, GPU-accelerated for real-time performance.
Key Features
Five operational modes. Hue mode adjusts parameters individually for red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Hue Custom mode lets you pick three colors with an eyedropper and modify those specific ranges. Saturation mode targets adjustments within regions defined by the original saturation values. Lightness mode works based on luminance ranges, letting you lift shadows and pull down highlights simultaneously without crushing details. Advanced mode combines hue, saturation, and luminance masking with refinement and inversion controls.
Subtractive saturation control. This increases saturation without making pixels brighter, which keeps results looking natural instead of overcooked.
Density adjustment. Adds filmic color qualities to your footage, either globally or within specific color ranges.
Who It’s For
Colorists working in After Effects or Premiere Pro who need precise control over specific color ranges. Particularly useful for matching shots, creating stylized looks, or fixing problem colors without affecting the entire image. The combination of multiple parameters in one interface speeds up grading workflows that would otherwise require stacking multiple effects.
Pricing
ColorX costs $69.99 for a single user license. Trial version available.
