AI Color Match for Video — Color Grade Any Footage in One Click


Transfer the color palette of any photo, film still, or preset to your video automatically. Evoto Video's AI Color Match analyzes your reference, detects subjects in the frame. No color wheels, no nodes, no complex manual grading — just pick a reference and let the AI match it.

From Reference to Graded Footage in One Click

Evoto's acclaimed AI Color Match, rebuilt for video — match any reference, keep color consistent across shots, and grade like a pro without one.

Match Color from Any Reference

Upload any photo or film still and Evoto Video reads its tone, brightness, contrast, and hue, then maps them onto your whole clip. Want a blockbuster teal-orange look or golden-hour warmth? Drop in the reference and AI Color Match recreates it instantly.

Smart Detection for Natural Skin Tones

This takes video color correction beyond a blanket filter. The AI detects subjects — skin, hair, sky, background — and maps the reference colors to each corresponding area. Skin tones stay natural while the background takes on the mood you want. The result is a unified, professional AI color grading video look that respects the people in your shot.

A Preset Style Library for Every Mood

No reference on hand? Browse Evoto Video's built-in style library — from cinematic color grading to vintage, warm, and moody looks — and apply one in a click. Each preset acts like a smart reference, adapting to your footage instead of being forced on like a fixed LUT. Then drag a single slider to dial the color match intensity up or down until it feels right.
