Video color grading in action
Compare four grades on the same source clips, then try the footage in the editor.
Warm portrait
Give a window-lit portrait a warmer tone.
City in daylight
Bring more vivid color to a daylight street scene.
Studio in black & white
Explore shape and contrast in a monochrome studio scene.
Color grading controls
Correct the basics
Balance exposure, white balance and color intensity.
Shape the curves
Control contrast and individual RGB channels.
Grade with color wheels
Tint shadows, midtones and highlights separately.
Apply a LUT
Import a .cube look and set its strength.
Begin with a balanced image, then build the look. Check several moments in the clip: skin, skies and moving subjects can respond differently to the same settings.
Use exposure and tonal controls to balance the image, then temperature and tint to reduce a color cast. Check neutral objects and skin before increasing saturation. These adjustments work with recorded detail; they cannot recover highlights or shadows that are already clipped.
The master curve shapes all three color channels together; red, green and blue curves adjust each channel separately. Start with small changes. Use the waveform to inspect displayed brightness across the frame and the RGB parade to compare channel levels. These scopes sample the SDR preview; they are not HDR mastering instruments.
Use the three wheels to shift color in overlapping tonal ranges. Try cooler shadows with warmer highlights, then adjust luminance to keep the balance. A tonal range affects matching pixels throughout the frame; it is not a tracked face or object mask.
Choose a LUT made for the SDR footage you are editing. Balance the source first and reduce LUT strength if the look becomes too strong. A LUT maps colors; it does not add moving grain, rebuild missing detail or automatically normalize camera Log footage.
How to color correct a video
Open your clip
Choose an SDR video from your device or try a sample. Your local file stays on your device while you edit.
Balance and grade
Start with a look, refine exposure and white balance, then shape curves, color wheels or LUT strength. Play and compare several moments.
Export your video
Choose MP4 or WebM, an available resolution and whether to keep audio. Download the result and check the picture and sound.
Video color grading: common questions
Color correction balances exposure, white balance and color so the footage looks natural. Color grading adds a deliberate mood or style. Start with correction, then use curves, wheels or a LUT to build the look. These are manual color adjustments, not AI scene generation or automatic shot matching.
Use temperature for the cool-to-warm balance and tint for green-to-magenta balance. Check an object that should be neutral, then inspect skin and other parts of the shot. The RGB parade helps compare channel levels. Mixed lighting can need different corrections in different areas; this tool applies one grade across the clip.
Yes. Import a supported .cube file and adjust its strength. Use a creative LUT intended for SDR input and check it on your footage. This tool does not convert HDR or camera Log footage to SDR. A LUT made for a different input color space can produce an unexpected result.
Opening a local file, grading it and downloading the result are free and require no account or AI generation credits. The video is processed on your device. If you choose an existing YouArt asset while signed in, it is fetched to your device. The finished video downloads locally; saving it to your YouArt assets is not available here.
Open one SDR MP4, MOV or WebM up to 60 seconds and 200 MiB. Your browser must support the file’s codecs, WebGL 2 graphics acceleration and WebCodecs. Available exports are H.264 MP4 or VP9/VP8 WebM at up to 1080p or 720p, without enlarging the source. HDR, camera Log, wide-gamut and transparent footage are outside this tool’s scope.
Choose Keep audio to include compatible source tracks or convert them when supported. If the audio cannot be preserved, the tool reports it so you can change format or choose Remove audio. Muting the preview only changes playback while editing. Check the downloaded video for sound and synchronization.
Preview and export use the same color settings and processing. The preview may be smaller, and video encoding can slightly change color, gradients and edges. Export is not lossless. Judge the downloaded clip at its intended viewing size; your screen and player can also affect how it looks.
No. The tool creates a separate download and leaves the source file unchanged. Reset all clears the current grade so you can start again. It cannot reliably undo color treatments or filters already baked into the source video. Keep the unedited original for future versions.
