Baselight for macOS is a complete grading and finishing solution providing powerful, fully-featured Baselight on the Apple macOS platform.

It offers the same advanced features as high-end Baselight Linux systems yet is optimised for the latest Apple Silicon macOS platforms. Available through two flexible subscription options, it addresses the current needs of modern workflows.

There are two Baselight for macOS products.

Baselight S is a budget-friendly option for the single freelancer, with full grading features but without advanced collaboration tools.

Baselight M is designed for facilities that require multi-user interconnectivity, such as with Baselight CONFORM and Baselight ASSIST.

If your job requirements grow, you can easily upgrade from Baselight S to Baselight M.

Download a 14-day free trial of Baselight M now, or contact your local Baselight sales representative to make an enquiry.
