Baselight innovation streamlines collaborative creativity at IBC2018

New tools designed to meet the real needs of creative colourists

FilmLight is to demonstrate remarkably powerful new functionality for its colour grading and management platform Baselight at IBC2018 (Amsterdam, 14-18 September, stand 7.B26). The latest software will be shown on Baselight grading stations, and also implemented across FilmLight's product range, which includes Prelight for on-set visualisation, the Daylight dailies system and the expanding Baselight Editions range for editing and VFX.

Baselight's compelling new features help to streamline the most complex and time-consuming workflows both within the colour grading suite and in collaboration with editing, VFX and 360 VR.

From multi-national facilities to independent colourists, Baselight users are at the cutting edge of colour grading, said Martin Tlaskal, Lead Developer at FilmLight. With their feedback and ideas, we've examined the content creation pipeline to find ways to make a tangible difference.

Spearheading the drive to greater efficiency, intelligent branching means that different operators can now work on the same scene simultaneously with ease, either to perform specific tasks or to create multiple deliverables.

This new feature means that different versions of a scene, called branches, can be produced and assigned to different operators for specific jobs, such as rotoscoping or fixing metadata in the timeline. When that task has been completed, the branch can be merged back into the main timeline easily and efficiently via the new Merge View, which also displays conflicts so that they can be resolved. This eliminates the error-prone and manual process of copying and pasting operations from multiple timelines back into the master timeline.
