Color Creative Week, the free virtual event organized by Colourlab Ai, is over, but it has left us with plenty of insight and useful material. As the main lecturer and CEO of Colourlab Ai Dado Valentic explains: on average, 40% of the time colorists spend doing tedious, repetitive tasks, could be saved by incorporating machines. In fact, there are already working tools to maximize efficiency in color grading using AI technologies. Let’s take a closer look at the ones presented! For those who are still skeptical about using artificial intelligence in their workflows, even calling it “creativity substitution”, we suggest that you think about these tools as assistants or helpful hands. It can save you time and allow you to go deeper into the creative process, and that’s what we want to focus on anyway, right? Automating color management If you work as a professional colorist or just have to deal with color grading regularly, you most certainly already use color management. But as Dado mentions in his live stream, it can still be a very manual process. In an example of Colourlab Ai, he shows how artificial intelligence can assist you. Imagine importing footage into a project that uses different file formats (for example .mov, .crm, or .braw). A deep-learning function will guess what camera the clips come from and translate them to a common color space for consistent grading. Oh wait, there’s more! In situations when you can’t find out how the video was shot or where the...
