Pick a look for the shot

Made for grading suites and one-person edits

Matching shots is the slowest, most repetitive part of a grade. AI Color Match does it with one click per shot, and the time it saves goes where the job needs it.

In the grading suite

Colorists use the match as a first pass: two cameras balanced, a pickup that came back warmer, the director's reference roughed in before the client arrives. It hands back a LUT you keep grading on top of, and Pro renders at 32-bit and exports the match as a .cube for the rest of the pipeline.

On a one-person edit

Corporate pieces, weddings, music videos and channel edits rarely have a grading budget. Load the client's reference or pick a look, match at the playhead, and the whole cut leaves with one consistent, professional look. Intensity and Preserve Luminance bring it back where it goes too far.

A colorist still makes the final call on work that needs one. A lot of work never gets that far, and there the match is often the finished grade.

A neural network compares your shot with the reference and writes the grade as a LUT .

Where the colors go

The LUT matches exposure, contrast, white balance and color. The plugin writes it as a 32 × 32 × 32 cube of 32,768 points.

These are 8,000 pixels of the shot, graded with Sand Dunes. Each one sits at its color: brightness up the middle, saturation out from it, hue around it, like a vectorscope you can turn. Pick another look above and every pixel moves to its color in that grade.

The AI runs once per match. From then on the shot plays back and renders as fast as any other LUT. It all happens on your own machine, on the GPU (CUDA on Windows, Metal on Mac) or on the CPU, so your footage stays on your drive.

A 3D vectorscope of 8,000 pixels from the shot, each placed by its brightness, saturation and hue in the selected look.

Choose a color model

AI Color Match 2 comes with three color models. They read the same reference in different ways, so when one grade doesn't sit right on a shot, another often does. Pick one in the Model menu and the match updates right away, with the same reference.

Same shot, same look (Plastic Dreamhouse), graded by each model.

A library of 150 looks

Browse Looks opens the library of 150 film-inspired looks inside your editor. Search it by name, color or mood, or narrow it down by tag.

Picking a look matches your shot to it the same way it matches to any other frame. Your own stills and saved matches go in My Looks, with Pro.

The Browse Looks gallery in AI Color Match: a search box, the Library and My Looks tabs, color filter chips with counts, and a grid of looks with Armenian Tableau selected

Load Reference Image Any still from disk, or another shot from your timeline under Use a Layer Instead.

Matching The reference, laid over the frame the match was made on.

Model Lumen, Ember or Prism. Switching re-matches.

Match at Playhead Runs the network once on that frame and writes the LUT.

Intensity Dials the match from 0 to 200%.

Preserve Luminance Keeps the shot's own exposure and takes only the color.

The cyclists graded with Orange Haze 2050 at Preserve Luminance 0%: dark, deep gold The same grade at Preserve Luminance 50%: brighter, still gold The same grade at Preserve Luminance 100%: the original brightness with the look's color

Preserve Luminance

Some looks change exposure as much as color. This slider sets how much of that exposure change your shot takes, here with Orange Haze 2050.

The cyclists graded with Orange Haze 2050 at Preserve Luminance 0%: dark, deep gold

At 0%

The full match. Orange Haze 2050 brings its low exposure with it, and the shot goes dark and gold.

The same grade at Preserve Luminance 50%: brighter, still gold

At 50%

The exposure lands halfway between the shot's and the look's, with all of the look's color.

The same grade at Preserve Luminance 100%: the original brightness with the look's color

At 100%

The shot keeps the exposure it was lit with and takes only the color of the look.
