Color Correction
Professional color correction services ensuring technical accuracy and visual consistency across your entire production.
Here is how this works in practice. Color fix is the tech process of normalizing and balancing footage to achieve steady exposure, white balance, and tonal range across all shots. This foundational step corrects inconsistencies introduced by changing lighting conditions, different cameras, or differing shooting environments across production.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with colorists and grading suites equipped to deliver pro color fix for your project. Our team sets up media preparation, session scheduling, and quality control to make sure your footage achieves steady, in tech accurate color that forms a solid foundation for creative grading.

Color correction on Resolve and Baselight rigs across São Paulo and Rio
Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian color fix runs primarily through DaVinci Resolve Studio (Black Magic Design has deep penetration here at Quanta Pós-Produção, O2 Filmes, and Globo PROJAC) with Baselight from FilmLight at the top-finishing tier including Vermes Vermelhos and Casablanca São Paulo. We set up correction passes across these houses with full ACES color running, calibrated reference tracking, scope-based broadcast-safe checks, primary balance and exposure normalisation, secondary skin-tone and sky isolation, shot-matching across multi-camera Padilha-style verité material, and broadcast gamut compliance for Globo, Band, SBT, Record, RedeTV!, and Globoplay under Rec.709. Brazilian source coverage spans ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony VENICE, Blackmagic URSA, ProRes, and DNxHR formats. Examples have dailies workflows for telenovela production at Globo PROJAC running 24/7 since 1965.
Here is the layout. Brazilian color heritage is anchored by Cesar Charlone, ASC, whose City of God favela natural-light palette and handheld digital aesthetic redefined the global perception of Latin American cinema and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography in 2003. Charlone also shot The Two Popes for Meirelles in 2019. Walter Salles's Central Station, Motorcycle Diaries, and I'm Still Here, Padilha's Tropa de Elite franchise, Mendonça Filho's Bacurau (Cannes Jury Prize 2019) and Aquarius all moved through Brazilian correction rooms.
Here is how the work shapes up. On the ground, Output paths cover Rec.709 for terrestrial ISDB-Tb broadcast, DCI-P3 for Festival do Rio, Mostra Internacional de São Paulo, Festival de Brasília, and the Kikito-awarding Festival de Gramado. Plus HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision (Apple TV+ Brasil, Netflix Brasil), and HLG paths for SVOD. ANCINE sign-ups, ANATEL compliance, LGPD residency on AWS São Paulo or Azure Brazil South, and IMF master delivery for Netflix Brasil, Disney+ Brasil, Amazon Prime Video Brasil, HBO Max Brasil, and Paramount+ Brasil are handled inside the workflow.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between color correction and color grading?
Here is the breakdown. Color fix is the tech process of balancing exposure, neutralizing color casts, and making sure consistency across shots. Grading is the creative process that comes after, where we develop specific looks and styles. We mostly complete correction first to set up a clean foundation before applying creative grades.
Can you match footage from different cameras?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, we specialize in matching footage from many camera systems with different color science. Whether you're combining ARRI, RED, Sony, or Canon footage, we balance each source to create seamless scene matching across your entire project.
How do you ensure broadcast compliance?
Here is how the picture comes together. We use pro scopes (waveform, vectorscope, histogram) and automated QC tools to check all footage meets broadcast-safe levels for your target platform. This has luminance, chrominance, and gamut compliance for specs like EBU R128, SMPTE, and platform-specific needs.
What formats and resolutions do you support?
Here is what we have to work with. We handle all pro formats including ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony RAW, ProRes, DNxHD, and more in resolutions from HD through 8K. Our color-managed pipeline makes sure accurate reproduction no matter source format or delivery specs.
