Colourlab Ai

What is Colourlab Ai?

Colourlab Ai is colour-grading software for editors and colourists that uses an AI colour agent. In version 4 you can supply a reference image, or put the look you want into words, and the app builds and matches grades across the timeline. The vendor says analysis, matching and grading run on the device, while the cloud is used only for licence sign-in and for in-depth cinematography analysis of references, which consumes credits. Auto-reference lets the AI pick a match per clip from a bin of references. The family also includes Look Designer for authoring looks, Cine IS for input, look and output nodes, Astra Film profiles, and Filmlab Ai, which is licensed by application. Colourlab Ai 4 costs $49/month or $399/year, with a $799 perpetual licence. Look Designer 4 is $299/year or $399 perpetual, Cine IS is $199/year or $399 perpetual, and a 14-day trial is offered through the Houston installer.
