But why? Most people don’t need the bar set that high. Most people just need B+ writing with half decent conversions.
If you can get 80% of what you want with a cheap or free tool vs 100% with a full-time salaried employee/expensive freelancers, well, most people are going to pick the former.
I do this as a video editor all the time. If I have a fast turnaround often times I will just drop a LUT or use auto color correction in my in NLE. Of course I will sand down the edges afterwards, but it’s not like I’m going to give every single video that crosses my desk the full color grading treatment. Not everything requires that.
