that is a good idea, but i fear avisynth would have to be greatly expanded to be usable as a grading program. bear in mind that in my opinion, not even Apple's Color could be considered a "usable" grading program. i've never said the "c" word more than when using this program.

true enough, avs already supports GPU rendering, 3d LUTs, 2d LUTs, advanced denoising (better than in any grading program), de-spotting, sharpening, etc.

what it lacks is more than 8 bits. we'd need float to make it a really good option, and also need genlock, SDI output and RS232 interface with a variety of tape decks, as well as fast enough processing to do HD in realtime.

there's always the dream though. think what an opensource finishing tool could do to the indie world? i think i'd be out of that much more work though...
