SUMMARY
Imagen Video, an AI-powered software, aims to automate the color correction process for video editors, a task often more time-consuming than creative grading. Unlike traditional LUTs that apply a blanket look, Imagen analyzes each clip individually to correct exposure, white balance, and continuity before applying a creative style. Fstoppers tested Imagen Video on a complex commercial project shot on multiple camera types and varying lighting conditions, finding that the AI-generated corrections often surpassed manual efforts, though some specific shots required further manual adjustment.
TAKEAWAYS
Imagen Video automates color correction for video footage, addressing issues like exposure and white balance.
The software generates unique LUTs per clip, unlike single LUTs that can yield inconsistent results.
Testing on a multi-camera commercial project showed AI grading often improved upon manual work.
Imagen Video's process involves server-side processing and returns corrected footage to editing software like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
