About Sheffield Softworks Cinemage

Cinemage is a color‑correction plug‑in that works inside After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X and Motion on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). It relies on Noise Industries FxFactory, which is available as a free download; a paid FxFactory Pro version shares the same system requirements. The plug‑in centres on paired tints whose hue, intensity and relationship are controlled by a double hue ring and a pairing slider. Moving a tint ring outward raises its intensity, while the slider aligns the two hues, defaulting to 180° apart for a neutral average. Users can preview the uncorrected image with a peek button, dim or hide onscreen guides, and apply masks based on luminance or saturation. Advanced controls include strength, balance, mix, soften/sharpen, blend modes, and options to retain luma or colour. Tint 1 can smooth by reducing local contrast, and Tint 2 can sharpen by increasing contrast.
