Nicolas Hanson April 18, 2017 Share April 18, 2017 FilmLight announces free Baselight STUDENT At NAB2017, FilmLight will preview their latest product, Baselight STUDENT, a software-only macOS application that answers the call from a growing number of facilities for trained Baselight colourists and assistants. The new offering allows experienced or future talent to move up to Baselight with support from FilmLight. https://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/store/press_releases/filmlight-announces-free-baselight-student/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Bader April 20, 2017 Share April 20, 2017 I hope to see a wave of new Baselight users, and I think they are on the right track with this release. It's a shame it's only available on the sinking ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the beginning of the year, it definitely looked as if many had decided to switch to PC for their high-end workstations. Then Apple announce their intention to produce a new Mac Pro (sometime in the future), and now Baselight tease them with their student version, but only on the Mac OS! Seems like a slightly curious decision on Filmlight's part - I wonder if they intend to release a PC version in the future? I'm guessing there's a few more people taking another look at the possibilities of a Hackintosh. Edited April 21, 2017 by Bruno Mansi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Hanson April 21, 2017 Author Share April 21, 2017 Do you have any plans on releasing a win version @Daniele Siragusano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Serrano April 22, 2017 Share April 22, 2017 Filmlight has always had a mac version for macbooks. Now they have a conform and assist version, not to mention Daylight as well, all running on Macs. It´s not like they spent several years developing this student version. Also, do not forget, mac osx is based on unix. It´s certainly hard to be a mac user nowadays but it is a tad less hard because of the recent annoucements. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Bader April 22, 2017 Share April 22, 2017 You are probably right that this was an easy customization, but no software developer today should ignore the fact that OSX is loosing customers to Windows users. I'm looking forward to hear what they have in mind for that potential user base as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniele Siragusano April 28, 2017 Share April 28, 2017 To this time Baselight Student is macOS only. We understand that for some users this is unideal, but there are no plans at this point to port the Baselight app to Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
