Color Grading

A grade that looked at your footage first

A preset does the same thing to a sunlit kitchen and a lamp-lit bedroom. This reads frames off your own timeline before it decides anything, so the look starts from the room you actually shot in — then four sliders take it the rest of the way.

Color Grading showing a before-and-after compare slider on the editor's own frame, with the Lumetri values it derived and the intensity, warmth, contrast and saturation controls.
How it works

What actually happens

  • Samples real stills off your sequence and adapts the grade to what it finds
  • Two starting points: Long Form, or a punchier Vertical look built for short-form feeds
  • Intensity, warmth, contrast and saturation, with the preview moving as you do
  • Compare flips between the graded and ungraded frame
  • Lands on its own adjustment layer across the sequence — added for you, in its own bin
  • Grading a second time re-grades that same layer instead of stacking another on top
