About Frischluft Fresh Curves
Frischluft Fresh Curves provides a curves‑based color correction tool for After Effects and Premiere Pro. In addition to the standard RGBA channels it includes brightness, saturation and hue channels, allowing more direct adjustments. Relative Curves let one attribute be driven by another and include optional pre‑blur and post‑blur stages. The plugin uses Bezier cubic splines with tangent handles and offers interpolation modes similar to the After Effects graph editor. Invert Curves enable custom gamma work in a user‑defined color space. Integrated histograms give visual feedback on changes, and the large, resizable interface includes zoom tools for out‑of‑range float colors and fine detail work. Version 1.14 is a maintenance update; M1‑Mac support was introduced in version 1.16.

Frequently asked questions
Does Frischluft Fresh Curves work with Premiere Pro as well as After Effects?
Yes. Frischluft Fresh Curves is listed as compatible with both After Effects and Premiere Pro, supporting CS5 and 64‑bit hosts. The plugin applies its curve‑based correction features in each application.
Does Frischluft Fresh Curves run on Apple M1 Macs?
M1‑Mac support was added in version 1.16. The catalog entry documents version 1.14, which does not include native M1 compatibility, so you will need version 1.16 or later for Apple Silicon.
Is Frischluft Fresh Curves free?
The catalog marks the plugin as free, but it also references a paid license and a free trial download. The free status should be verified against the developer’s current licensing terms.
How is Frischluft Fresh Curves different from the native After Effects curves?
Fresh Curves adds brightness, saturation and hue channels beyond the native RGBA, offers relative curves with pre‑ and post‑blur, provides Bezier cubic spline control with tangent handles, includes invert‑curve processing, and supplies integrated histograms and a large resizable UI, features not available in the native After Effects curves.
