AI color grading
match grades across clips and timelines
Match colour grades automatically across clips, scenes, and episodes. EditAssist analyses reference stills, applies LUTs and CDLs, converts log to Rec.709, and exports graded masters. Works in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut.
Workflow
Provide a reference still or a graded hero shot and the agent matches the colour science across the entire timeline. It handles log conversion, LUT application, CDL parsing, white-balance matching, and exposure normalisation. For multi-camera shoots, it matches the A-cam grade to the B-cam and GoPro footage.
The agent can generate LUTs from hero grades, apply film-grain overlays, create side-by-side comparison renders for client approval, and export graded masters with baked-in colour metadata. All processing is local and preserves your original camera files.

Features
Reference grade matching
Analyses a reference still or hero shot and applies the same colour science across the entire timeline or series.
Log & LUT handling
Converts log footage to Rec.709, applies official camera LUTs, parses CDL values, and generates custom LUTs from grades.
Multi-camera match
Matches colour and exposure between A-cam, B-cam, GoPro, drone, and phone footage so everything cuts together.
Local non-destructive
Grades are applied as metadata or baked into exports. Original camera files are never altered.
Local-first
All transcription, vision analysis, semantic search, and clustering run on your own GPU. Nothing about your footage is uploaded. The only data that leaves is the text of your conversation with the agent. It's free to download, local models are free, and a new account starts with £15 of credit and no card. For long-running cloud work, pay as you go, or choose £20/mo Starter or £100/mo Pro.
