FireDay is available in two versions: the standard edition is a powerful digital dailies coloring tool for DPs and DITs offering backups, primary and secondary color correction and basic rendering capabilities. FireDay Studio adds more powerful color space support, audio sync, and multiple output version rendering in many more formats. Either version can support live grading previews on an external reference monitor by adding the Live Grading Option.
