Colourlab

Colourlab is an AI assisted colour grading and film emulation suite for post production. Colourlab Ai 4 automates balancing and shot matching, Astra Film handles film looks, and Cine IS provides colour management, with integrations for Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Avid.

Colourlab is a set of AI driven image processing tools built for colorists and editors who need to move quickly without losing control of the final look. At the centre is Colourlab Ai 4, which automates balancing and shot matching by analysing each image and connecting separate moments into one visual language. The software adjusts luminance, colour and saturation so that cuts feel continuous, but the colourist still makes the last call on every grade. A reference frame can be chosen to guide the match, and the result can be refined by hand before it goes back to the timeline. The broader ecosystem covers film appearance and colour management as separate products. Astra Film offers a free entry point into film emulation, Look Designer 4 lets users author their own profiles, and Filmlab Ai handles specialist finishing. Cine IS sits underneath as the colour management foundation, connecting source interpretation, working spaces and display output. For teams that want conversational control, a Claude and MCP integration lets natural language requests drive supported workflows, with the on-device tools doing the actual analysis and processing. Colourlab is aimed at working professionals in scripted and commercial post, plus editors who grade their own projects and want AI assistance without leaving their NLE. It plugs into DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer, so the grade can be pushed back to the host timeline rather than living in a separate silo. The company behind it, Color Intelligence, has built neural networks for image processing since 2018, and its AI Color Engine also ships inside HONOR smartphones, which says something about how the technology is positioned: production grade, but designed to run on device rather than in a distant cloud. Among alternatives, Colourlab sits closer to dedicated grading software than to one click LUT apps. The emphasis on film science, colour management and round trip workflows puts it in the same conversation as established grading suites, while the AI matching and conversational layer are the differentiators. It will not replace a colourist's judgement, and it does not try to.
