Installation of Color Finesse for CS5 is a mystery

Hello:

I just install CS5 Master Collection, and I have a serial number of remains of for Color Finesse.  After having posted to Adobe support, responsible for searching the contents of my "Content" drive and issues about all the rest, I do not yet see how to install the plugin Color Finesse in After Effects.  Does anyone do this?  Where the installation of the software?  I looked on each of my CDs (all 4 of them). At least, I think that Adobe should provide written instructions or a Read Me with this information, but I have yet to find it.

Thank you

Rich Locus

Color Finesse is installed automatically by the installer for CS5, so you have all ready to use.

Within EI, select a layer, and go to the menu effects. You will find only a menu item for Synthetic Aperture and that is 'SA Color Finesse 3 '. To apply it to the selected layer, choose just as you would for any other effect.

The first time you apply you will be asked for this 'extra' serial number you have. Don't forget to use the serial number labeled as "Color Finesse CS5" because it is the one for Color Finesse 3.

Once you have applied Color Finesse to a layer, you can twirl open the simplified Interface to display the controls, or click on the button "Complete Interface" to display the full user interface. In this complete user interface, a link to the Color Finesse User Guide in the Help menu.

Hope this gets you operational.

  • Installation in silent mode for CS5.5?

    I was able to get a silent installation for the DPS tools work very well for CS6 (v27), but I did find a method effective for CS5.5 (v27), set apart from the use of JAMF to perform monitoring of file system.

    The commands I tried:

    sudo /Adobe/DPS/r27/cs5.5fp/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install--mode = Silent

    Starting the installer...

    In silent mode.

    Successful installation.

    Leave the installer with the Code: 0

    &

    sudo /Adobe/DPS/r27/cs5.5fb/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install--mode = Silent

    Starting the installer...

    In silent mode.

    Successful installation.

    Leave the installer with the Code: 0

    They always communicate that they are running properly, but do not actually seem to install anything. If I remove the silent flag, the Setup program runs successfully, but with the intervention of the user, which is not desirable. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or have a good way around it?

    Even if I have already provided the private solution I post here as well in case other users are facing the same problem.

    The correct syntax for silent deployment is:

    sudo. / Install - mode = silent - DeploymentFiles = "path".

    Thus, for example:

    sudo./Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install--mode silent =--deploymentFile=deploy/AdobeDigitalPublishing-mul.install.xml

    (here, the assumption is that the user is in the directory where is Install.app.

    The command line, you should see "successful Installation. Leave the installer with the code: 0.

  • Cannot find HIS Color Finesse 3 serial key

    In Adobe CC, there is a plugin called HIS Color Finesse 3 delivered AE. I had problems to open the plugin, so I decided to delete all the related files and to download the installer from the site of synthesis. I'm running the installation program now and cannot find my serial number for the plugin. I have been troubleshooting the web and found a lot of discussions related to this problem, but does not understand where this serial key again. There is even a page on the site of the SA to this topic: http://www.synthetic-ap.com/support/kb/420124.html

    I remember in earlier versions of AE, after installation is complete I never needed to use this plugin, a serial number. Since I am reinstalling this plugin, I wonder if I really need the serial key (to access the full version) and I need, where to find?

    It was not a sticker with the serial number printed for Color Finesse since CS5.5. The serialization is done 'automatically' the first time you apply Color Finesse to a layer.

    This first time you will be asked a name/organization and you need to enter something here and click OK to create the serialization occurs. If you click Cancel instead you end up in trial with the pink lines mode. Which is OK, like all what you need to do in this case is to restart AE and apply Color Finesse to a layer to get prompted for name/org.

    Once you have done that you are running with Color Finesse, no lines of pink demo. At this point, you can click the Color Finesse on and see your serial number in the upper right of the About dialog box. You want the serial number if you want to update or use an installer from our website.

    Now in your case, if you have already uninstalled Color Finesse and run a Setup program that is downloaded without ever having raced through the 'automagic' serialization process, you end up with no serial number and no plugin who knows how to serialize itself. The best way to the situation is in the United Nations-installl Color Finesse manually, then un-install/reinstall AE. You can then apply it to a layer, enter your name/org and you will be running.

    And just to be clear, Color Finesse 3 provided with AE is a fully functional/all the plugin features. The only restriction is that it works only in After Effects. If you also want to use Color Finesse in Premiere Pro, you will have to pay to upgrade to the version "PI".

  • Color Finesse 3 serial number?

    Hi Bob,

    I use after effects in CC 2014 and I thought that the smoothness of color provided with the download for free but the mode of trial is everything I see and when I download the installer it wants a serial number that I don't have. Any suggestions to fix this?

    You have no need to download an installer. Color Finesse is installed automatically by the installation program Adobe AE. It is automatically serialized (CS5.5 and later, including CC 2014) the first time you apply Color Finesse to a layer.

    At this point, the best approach is to uninstall and reinstall After Effects. Then, open a project, apply Color Finesse to a layer, enter your name and you will be running.

  • Adobe Color Finesse vs FCP color - mask location capability

    I just came back from the expo of HD in New York and one of the speakers/presenters there is a colorist.  He showed an advertisement it was colored using Application color of the PCF.  I came home to discover Adobe Color Finesse for comparison and noticed that he didn't some of the characteristics of the color of the PCF, the ability to create a mask for the purposes of secondary color correction work and be able to follow this mask to the object being corrected.  Is there a way to do in color or outside Finesse even Finesse.  If this isn't the case, which would be a Color Correction request you could recommend which is as strong or better than the color of the PCF.

    Thank you

    Yes, you are.

    It is one of the reasons for the secondary color correction of Color Finesse is based on color (chroma) instead of geometric masks. Assuming your footage to select color, then there is no need of follow-up/animation, it is managed by the secondary Manipulator.

    Of course, that won't work in all cases, that is why the desire for geometric shape masks, with some kind of follow-up. We understand this desire.

    But the existing secondary color correction can be quite powerful, so I hope that people gave him a test rather than just assuming that a mask is always required.

  • Color Finesse CS5 organization?

    CS5 Production Premium comes with a plugin version of Color Finesse, and on my system, I see that it is installed in AE, but I can't find it in the body, or find an obvious way to install it on the body. I see no option to install on the CS5 install disks.


    It is no longer available for PPro CS5, or am I missing something?


    Thank you

    It is only available for AE. If you want a version for AE and PR, you must upgrade to the version PE of Color Finesse. See their Web site.

  • Serial number CS5 Color Finesse attention

    Adobe has provided me with the wrong serial number for Color Finesse 3 in CS5.

    I started a case with Technical Support, but after exchanges of emails this weekend, then an hour and a half phone conversation with 2 representatives today, they were unable to help me. In fact, neither representative knew what Color Finesse.

    I contacted synthesis through their website of the forum and they said that I had received a serial number of the PC that does not work on a Mac.

    Today at noon, technology Adobe said they would call back within 2 hours with a solution, its now been 5 hours and no appeal. I'm not impressed.

    In case someone else has this problem the PC serial numbers start with CFLEP and Mac those SLTC. I tried to change the prefix of the letter and it seemed to work, however while he has done through the registration synthesis process, I now have the pink grid feared on the layers that have applied CF, indicating he is not registered... Synthesis says that I have to reinstall After Effects yet. Oh joy ;/

    CF Trial.png

    You must also remove the Color Finesse prefs.

    This is the "Finesse 3 UI Preferences.plist ~/Library/Preferences/Color" file. Just drag to the trash, restart AE and apply Color Finesse to a layer and you will be prompted for the serial number.

    I just tested the whole process here with the CS5 DVD and it works fine. Sorry for forgetting this step.

  • After Effects for color instead of Color Finesse

    I'm new to After Effects, from Final Cut Studio with extensive experience in Apple Color.

    I was just looking for opinions on what everyone thought about the difference between staining using After Effects plugins instead of using Color Finesse.

    In addition, any use AE and Apple Color? Opinions?

    Thank you!

    I'm biased as to what should be your choice, but an important thing to keep in mind is the basic difference between a dedicated as Apple Color application of color correction and color correction plug-ins like Color Finesse/Magic Bullet in the workflow.

    Color is designed to work similarly to a traditional band-to-band color correction workflow. In other words, complete you your package, block all along, then go to the color correction. Make additional editing after the color correction is difficult. The advantage is that you get to work in an environment dedicated to the color correction, and the corrector 'knows' about the whole project, facilitating global operations. But the integration between editing app (FCP) and the color Checker (Color) is limited.

    With a plug-in, you have you color correction in your editor/motion graphics app so that revisions are easy to make, without the need of what either lock or flatten change them or effects. Integration between the app (AE/Agency) and the plug-in may be extremely tight. The downside is that the plug-in is applied to individual clips/layers so that the plug-in only 'knows' about this element further complicates global operations.

    We try to split the difference with Color Finesse, giving you an environment dedicated to the color correction, as well as a plug-in. Of course, we also offer our standalone version for Mac users.

    Neither approach is necessarily "better" than the other, they are just different. It depends largely on your own workflow preferences.

  • Color Finesse?

    I just bought Adobe Production Premium CS5.5.  On the case containing the installation DVD, there is a serial number for Color Finesse.  After you install the full package, I see no Color Finesse as a program or a plugin in first or After Effects.  The fineness of the color had to be installed with everything else?

    I tried to download the program on the website of Color Finesse, but the serial number I have does not work with it.

    J. D.

    Color Finesse is a plug-in for After Effects.

    You can find maybe in subfolder "Synthetic Aperture" where «Effects & presets»

    When you apply this effect first, you will be asked a serial number...

  • Color Finesse Presets

    Hi guys

    I use AE CS6 (including a part of the Master Collection) on Win7 64 bit. I was going to experiment with Color Finesse presets, but when I click on the preset button after loading of CF, I am taken to my my documents"" folder. I tried to open the CF THE full interface, but which does not include a memory button. I thought it had presets with glimpses of the Gallery to see what effect could apply? I'm doing something wrong?

    Kind regards

    Graham

    You should be able to select the Gallery tab in the full UI, then twirl open the system Presets folder there and see the presets that we provide. If this does not work for you, you need to update to Color Finesse 3.0.8 which should solve this problem.

    You can download the installer Color Finesse of our Web site. Be sure to specify that you want to install the version 'THE' when the installation program asks you, and you want to install in AE CS6. Other than simply accept all the defects of the installer and you should be good. Sorry for the bug.

  • where can I download Color Finesse and how I can install their Premier Pro or after affect?

    I recently bought master collection 5 DVD version. CD/DVD box I have three serial numbers: Master collection, organization/AE CS4 32 Bit and Color Finesse. I used the Master collection serial to activate my product. I have a 64 bit os, so I did not use body/AE CS4 32 Bit serial.  My question is about Color Finesse Serial. I searched this topic and considered as a plug-in for Premiere Pro or after affect. Now, where can I download Color Finesse and how I can install their Premier Pro or after affect?

    This series is only required for the CS4 version. The CS5 version does not require an additional set. Both versions are installed automatically with the main programs. Nothing more to do.

  • Panel of reference color Finesse

    Hi, I am currently working with Color Finesse and want to use the Panel refers to try to match film shot with two different cameras.  I've lived the manual to see how to load an image in the Gallery, but I think I'm missing something.

    I can't find an option to load all the images in the Gallery; If you take a look at the attached screenshot it seems to miss all of the buttons included in the manual (although the manual looks like its been taken on a MAC).

    ref.png

    Is this a limitation with the Group AE plugin or am I missing something else?

    I think you are looking for the Gallery tab. It has buttons at the bottom of loading/selection of reference images.

    Once an image is loaded into the Gallery, you can select it as the reference image by double-clicking the item in the list of contents of Gallery.

    You don't say what version of Color Finesse you use. There were a few problems with reference images in earlier versions, so you can upgrade to the latest version of Color Finesse, which is 3.0.4. The installer for the latest version is available on our website and can be installed using your current Color Finesse serial number.
