SCENE 01 / COLOR CORRECTION
Color Correction in Saudi Arabia
Professional color correction services ensuring technical accuracy and visual consistency across your entire production.
Color fix is the tech step that balances your footage. It sets steady exposure, white balance, and tonal range across all shots. This base step fixes gaps from shifting light, mixed cameras, or varied shoot sites across the production.
We link you with colorists and grading suites for your project. They deliver pro color fix. Our team sets up media prep, books the sessions, and runs quality checks. Your footage gets steady, tech-true color. That forms a solid base for creative grading.

DaVinci Resolve color correction across MBC Studios Riyadh, Telfaz11, and Pixomondo Riyadh — Rec.709 broadcast normalisation for MBC and Saudi Broadcasting Corporation, P3 D65 cinema for AMC and RSIFF, ACES pipelines for Netflix MENA and Amazon Prime Video Arabia.
We book color fix sessions on DaVinci Resolve Studio at MBC Studios Riyadh, Telfaz11's grading suite, Pixomondo Riyadh, Big Time Studios Riyadh, and Spider Eye Studios. Resolve is the top tool across Saudi facilities. Baselight FilmLight sits in premium MBC and Image Production House Dubai rooms. Colorists handle ARRIRAW (Alexa 35, Alexa Mini LF — the go-to cameras for AlUla features), RED R3D, Sony Venice, Blackmagic 12K, and Canon Cinema RAW from typical Saudi camera packages. They even out shot-to-shot shifts across long desert magic-hour days, where the sun moves fast over Hegra and Sharaan rock formations. ACES color pipelines are standard on global shoots wrapping at AlUla and NEOM XR Lab. Each camera gets an IDT setup, and each output target gets an ODT delivery (Rec.709 broadcast, P3 D65 cinema, Rec.2020 PQ for Dolby Vision HDR, Rec.2020 HLG for broadcast HDR). Reference monitors are the Sony BVM-HX310 and Flanders Scientific XM310K for 1000-nit HDR key work.
Saudi Arabia's correction work has grown fast since the 2018 cinema reopening. The Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF, since 2021) and the Saudi Film Festival Dhahran at Ithra King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture drive cinema-grade deliverables. We correct DCI-P3 theatrical releases for AMC Saudi Arabia, VOX Cinemas, Muvi Cinemas, and Empire Cinemas. We cut AS-11 broadcast deliverables for MBC, Al Arabiya, and Saudi Broadcasting Corporation. We build IMF wraps for Shahid VIP originals, StarzPlay Arabia, OSN+, Netflix MENA, Amazon Prime Video Arabia, Apple TV+ Arabic, and Disney+ MENA. CST broadcast spec compliance is checked at QC. GCAM type (G, PG, PG12, PG15, R15, R18) at times needs alternate color cuts. There, censored frames are swapped out, not blurred. Global features shot at AlUla. These include Kandahar (2023), Desert Warrior (2024), Cherry, and Hellraiser plates. They mostly finish overseas at ARRI Rental, Firm 3, or Goldcrest. But we deliver clean LMT and CDL exchange data. We price at SAR 3.75:1 USD, add 15% VAT, and run a Sunday-Thursday workweek.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between color correction and color grading?
Color fix is the tech step. It balances exposure, clears color casts, and keeps shots steady. Grading is the creative step that comes after. There we build set looks and styles. We do the fix first. That sets a clean base before we apply creative grades.
Can you match footage from different cameras?
Yes. We match footage from many camera systems with different color science. You might mix ARRI, RED, Sony, or Canon footage. We balance each source. Scenes then match smoothly across your whole project.
How do you ensure broadcast compliance?
We use pro scopes (waveform, vectorscope, histogram) and auto QC tools. They check that all footage meets broadcast-safe levels for your target platform. This covers luminance, chrominance, and gamut for specs like EBU R128, SMPTE, and each platform's needs.
What formats and resolutions do you support?
We handle all pro formats. These include ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony RAW, ProRes, DNxHD, and more, in sizes from HD through 8K. Our color-managed pipeline keeps color true no matter the source format or delivery spec.
