**Cinema Grade is a powerful color grading solution from Denver Riddle and Color Grading Central. You can make adjustments directly in the viewer in supported NLEs. It's a simple yet powerful solution. But has been only available for Macs — until now.**

The company announced Cinema Grade for Windows recently, and launched a Kickstarter to help out, and it was funded nearly four times over.

[I reviewed Cinema Grade](https://www.redsharknews.com/post-vfx/item/6973-cinema-grade-is-this-as-easy-as-grading-can-get) earlier this year, and loved how I could literally reach into the viewer to make my adjustments, rather than using traditional tools to color grade. According to Denver Riddle, editors using Windows-based NLEs have been asking him for a version since Cinema Grade launched two years ago.

Denver and his team are working on creating a version of Cinema Grade for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve on Windows, and launched a Kickstarter to help with development.

How big is the demand for Cinema Grade for Windows? When the Kickstarter was launched they crushed their $20,000 goal in just 24 hours, and Kickstarter featured them on their "Projects We Like" section. They were able to hit 377% funding by early November when the campaign ended.

Denver is promising all the same great Cinema Grade features, including making on-screen grading in the viewer, color matching, 90-plus professional look presets based on popular movies (with great organization to find the perfect look), and much more.

If you're a Windows-based Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve editor, Cinema Grade is the perfect color grading solution to really dial in a professional and creative look for your project, no matter if you're a filmmaker, YouTuber, etc.

The Kickstarter featured several different tiers, including one for a $119 or more pledge for the Early Bird Filmmaker package, which includes Cinema Grade Pro, 90 Colorist looks, bonus film add-on's, and the Color Grading Academy training for Cinema Grade.

Denver provided an update on what's next for them [here](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/colorgrading/cinema-grade-evolutionary-color-grading-on-windows/posts/3012059). If you didn't back it on Kickstarter, you'll have the opportunity to purchase Cinema Grade for Windows once it's ported over. He'll continue giving [updates](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/colorgrading/cinema-grade-evolutionary-color-grading-on-windows/posts) as they work through the project road map. He also confirmed there are beta users.
