Color Grade Prompter

Introduction

Color Grade Prompter is the new way of creating color grades and looks. It’s interactive and easy to use.

General workflow

You create color grades by specifying so-called prompts for the current frame. Prompts can either be points or rectangle masks around an object.

Parameters

Model

Choose the model you want to run for the grading. Both options were trained on different datasets and will therefore give you different looks.

Text Prompts

Describe look you want to achieve by linking in masks and changing the masks name. To grade your footage e.g. with a warm look click “Add Text Input”, change the new masks name to “autumn sunset” and link the mask layer in one of the three slots. Sometimes the prompting requires some trial and error. Using the strenght value allows for weighting and interpolation.

Pin Highlights

If active, the ai won’t change the colors of the highlights in the image.

Highlights Decay

Define how strong the highlight pinning will be.

Overall Strength

The overall strenght of the grading, taking into account all prompt interpolations as well as the pin highlights setting.

Export LUT

This will export the current grading to a .cube file which can be reused in different applications and effects (e.g. Lumetri Color).

Premiere Pro Support

On Premiere Pro the textual input is limited. You can input one prompt by modifying the clips name.

Backend & Performance

Hardware Acceleration (on GPU version of the plugin only)

Run calculations on the GPU. This will give massive speedups compared to CPU mode.

Lower Precision

Compute with reduced precision if possible. This can save up to half of the memory and give you some speedups.

Samples (not available for all settings)

The number of ai samples to calculate. This will improve the models accuracy.

Computation Tiles (not available for all settings)

Split the computation into several tiles. This can help if you run out of memory.
