Synthetic Aperture has released Video Finesse 1.0, a collection of plug-in filters for Adobe Premiere for Macintosh, and designed to work with digital video camera produced content.

  • Levels Adjustment Filter - provides traditional "proc amp" controls--pedestal, gain, gamma, chroma level, and hue as well as knee control (with adjustable level and slope) and black stretch. It also provides full color correction capability through individual control of the red, green, blue, luma, and chroma channels.
  • Skin Detail Filter - reduces the amount of detail in skin-tone areas
  • Gamut Limit Filter - adjusts "illegal" colors to fit within broadcast specifications.
  • Bandwidth Limit Filter - eliminates high horizontal frequencies from the video image.
  • Dropout Filter - eliminates video artifacts caused by tape dropouts and other impulse noise.
  • Sharpen and Soften Filters

Video levels can be observed via waveform monitor and vectorscope displays. Video levels and out-of-gamut color areas can be overlaid with a "zebra" pattern. Pixel-level samples allow easy observation of filter effects. Filter effects can be seen in a "before and after" split preview window. And all Video Finesse filters process preview images at full resolution, and can display the results within Premiere's preview window.

Video Finesse is compatible with both PowerPC and 68K-based Macintoshes and with Adobe Premiere 4.2.1 and 5.0. List price for Video Finesse is US $195.
