Basecut
Log footage, handled

Auto color correction
for log footage.

Real output from the Basecut pipeline. Drag the handle.

No card, no account. Correct and grade your whole shoot free; pay only when you export.

Log to graded, automatically. Cut by @sotoxvisuals, Basecut beta tester.

One folder in. A corrected, graded shoot out.

1

Drop your shoot in

Point Basecut at a folder of log footage. It detects the camera and log profile per clip: S-Log3, C-Log, V-Log, F-Log, D-Log, Apple Log and more.

2

It corrects every clip

Log to Rec.709, then a closed-loop pass that measures, corrects, and verifies white balance and exposure per clip, expands the flat range, and matches color across all your cameras.

3

Add a look, ship it

Drop a graded look on the whole run (or import your own LUT), then export LUTs, baked video, or hand the grade straight to DaVinci Resolve.

Sony · Canon · Fujifilm · Panasonic · DJI · GoPro · Insta360 · Apple Log · ARRI ProRes · ProRes RAW · BRAW (Mac) · 16 log profiles

Fair questions.

Is it really local?

Yes. The color pipeline runs entirely on your machine: nothing uploads, nothing trains on your footage. On Mac even the AI analysis runs fully on-device; on Windows local AI needs an NVIDIA GPU, or you can bring your own cloud key.

What cameras and formats?

ProRes (including ARRI ALEXA ProRes), ProRes RAW, and BRAW on Mac, plus standard mp4/mov/mxf from Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, DJI, GoPro, Insta360, and iPhone. Sixteen log profiles are auto-detected. Native ARRIRAW and REDCODE R3D aren't supported yet.

What's free, exactly?

Everything except output. Import any size shoot, run the full correction, preview with scopes, grade with looks: all free for 14 days with 5 free exports, no card. You pay only when you keep exporting.

Does it replace my grade?

No. It does the correction a colorist does before the creative work: white balance, exposure, range, cross-camera match. The look on top is optional and adjustable, and everything is inspectable and reversible. Your creative grade stays yours.

Does it work with DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. The Basecut Grade OFX plugin applies your per-clip grades live on the Resolve color page (works in free Resolve), and with Resolve Studio, one click builds a full graded project: bins, timelines, grades applied. ALE and FCPXML exports cover any other NLE.

Prove it on your own shoot.

No card, no account. Correct and grade your whole shoot free; pay only when you export.
