Freelance colorist Andreas Brueckl has some great tutorials for colour grading using Assimilate Scratch. This whirlwind tutorial reveals the process he used for a TV commercial which involved a lot of complex alpha matte based grades. This tutorial gives you some idea of the power and simplicity that Scratch can provide.

Creating a film look…
If that’s not enough, why not check out this great 70 minute webinar, presented by Jerome Thelia about creating a film look without shooting film. This webinar looks at footage that was shot on RED MX, digitally graded in Scratch and recorded to film stock to finish. Jerome covers the use of log scans, LUTs, anamorphic resizing, histograms, and split screens for color matching/comparison.
