Moods earns its place for its heads-up display approach to color correction, which the developer describes as the only color correction plug-in to sport such an interface, paired with GPU-accelerated grading and support for 8-to-16-bit depths.
Yanobox Moods is a color correction plugin from Yanobox that brings a heads-up display interface to After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. Grading HD footage happens in full screen. Move horizontally to set black and white levels, drag up or down to desaturate or create silver colors, and combine silver with contrast for a bleach bypass look. Separate exposure and gamma controls handle white levels and color cast.
Three-way color balance provides shadow, mid tone and highlight wheels, ranging from subtle adjustments to crushed colors, with punchy or classic modes that boost or preserve luminance. A Wash Shadow control blends shadows with pure colors for classic vintage looks. Moods adapts to the rendering quality and works with bit depths from 8 to 16 bits, preserving the integrity of the video signal and raw gradients.
With GPU acceleration, color grading stays interactive on modern laptop and desktop computers. Presets are included as starting points for your own looks, while a help card reminds you of each wheel's function and a compare handle splits the screen to show before and after.
Yanobox Moods is best for colorists and editors grading HD footage in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro who want on-screen, heads-up controls for correction and stylized looks.
Yanobox Moods is completely free to download and use.
Yanobox Moods works in After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and also runs in Final Cut Pro X and Motion. All of these operate through Noise Industries FxFactory, which the plugin requires to run. Because host support can change as those applications update, check the FxFactory page linked from the developer's page for the most current list of supported application versions before you commit to a specific host.
Yanobox Moods requires Noise Industries FxFactory to run, which is available as a free download. FxFactory serves as the host environment for the plugin across the supported applications, including After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. There is also FxFactory Pro, a paid version that carries the same system requirements as the free version. For updated system requirements, refer to the FxFactory page linked from the developer's page.
Yanobox Moods runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors, working in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. It requires FxFactory to run, so its system requirements match those of FxFactory rather than being listed separately. For the current specifications on either processor type, refer to the FxFactory page linked from the developer's page, since those requirements can be updated over time.
Yanobox Moods is listed as free in this catalog. It does require Noise Industries FxFactory to run, which is itself a free download, while FxFactory Pro is a paid version that carries the same system requirements as the free one. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for current details before you rely on any particular arrangement for your projects.
Yanobox Moods operates with bit depths from 8 to 16 bits, adapting to the quality of the rendering and preserving the integrity of the video signal and raw gradients. It also uses GPU acceleration so that color grading stays interactive on modern laptop and desktop computers. Together these mean the plugin can handle footage of differing quality while keeping the signal intact during grading.
