What It Does
ft-Color and Channel Bundle groups four focused plugins from François Tarlier (reduxFX) into a single purchase. Each one targets a specific color or channel task that Premiere Pro’s built-in tools handle poorly or not at all. The bundle works in both Premiere Pro and After Effects, and all four plugins support 32-bit processing with Apple Silicon compatibility.
Key Features
ft-Brightness Check. Works like zebra-striping on a digital camera. It highlights pixels that fall outside a set brightness range by marking them directly on the footage, making it easy to spot blown highlights or crushed shadows without switching to a separate scope.
ft-Clamp. Keeps color values within a defined range by clamping anything above or below your set white and black points. Useful when footage from HDR sources or effects generates out-of-range values that cause downstream problems.
ft-Color Gray. Takes the grayscale of a source image and uses a gradient from a second input as a lookup table to colorize it. This gives you a quick way to apply stylized color maps to footage or graphic elements without building a complex effect stack.
ft-CombineRGA. Lets you shift or swap color channels and pull channel data from a second source. Unlike the native channel mixer tools, it runs in 32-bit and has a straightforward interface that makes multi-source channel operations much less tedious.
Who It’s For
Colorists and compositors who work in HDR or wide-gamut pipelines will get the most use out of ft-Clamp and ft-Brightness Check. ft-CombineRGA is particularly handy for anyone working with render passes or multi-layer composites where channel routing is a regular task. ft-Color Gray suits editors or motion designers looking to apply gradient-based color effects without manual LUT building.
Pricing
The bundle is a one-time purchase at $49.99. A free trial is available. Upgrade discounts apply if you previously purchased any of the individual plugins sold before the bundle launched in December 2023.
