What it is

Pomfort Livegrade is macOS software for digital imaging technicians and directors of photography who need real-time control of a camera's live image. It provides primary and secondary grading for SDR and HDR displays, with look pipelines supporting ASC-CDL, LUT, ACES, FilmLight, and camera-specific workflows. Live monitoring handles simultaneous feeds, multi-view, tailored output views, and 4K/UHD. A shot library stores media, metadata, and looks as an automatic production shot log. Livegrade packages references, looks, and metadata for downstream departments; paired with Silverstack Lab, it can automate look matching for dailies. Supported look devices include AJA ColorBox, AJA FS-HDR, Flanders Scientific BoxIO, Teradek COLR, and TVLogic IS-mini. Optional modules add synchronized multi-camera playback and audio, extra outputs and streaming, keying and compositing, more I/O, or LED processing and control. Standard supports three individual outputs, extendable to six with Outputs and Streaming. The I/O Pack lists up to 50 input slots. Livegrade Frontier hosts OpenFX 1.5-or-newer plugins. A 10-day trial watermarks created or exported stills and recorded clips.
