Use Color Grading when an image or video needs correction or a deliberate visual look. It changes that media element only; text, captions, SVG, and normal HTML remain separate layers.
The same presenter frame before and after a restrained natural portrait grade

The same source before and after a restrained natural-portrait grade.

Work in this order

Correct before stylizing. A strong preset cannot rescue clipped highlights, unreadable shadows, or the wrong source.

Grade in Studio

  1. Select an image or video on the canvas, in Layers, or on the timeline.
  2. Open Color grading in Design.
  3. Start with a preset or small corrections.
  4. Use the scopes and compare control to check the result.
  5. Scrub several moments before judging moving footage.
The controls answer different questions: HyperFrames supports up to four ordered HSL selections. They are static pixel-value qualifiers, not object tracking, rotoscoping, or spatial masks. Studio scopes are inspection tools:

​
Give the agent the visible problem

You do not need to prescribe shader values:
The agent can inspect the current capability contract and analyze a local source before changing it:
For source-sensitive prompts and worked A/B examples, continue to Color grading and film effects.

​
Reuse a grade carefully

In Studio, use Copy grade to for other media in the current file or project. Treat the copy as a starting point and inspect each source. Project-wide copy rejects project-relative LUT paths because the same path can resolve differently from another composition. Use a project-root path, a data URL, or copy only within the current file.

​
Use LUTs with known intent

Import a project-local 3D .cube LUT only when you know the look or conversion it expects. HyperFrames does not identify camera profiles or apply an automatic ACES/OCIO workflow. A creative Rec.709 LUT is the safest normal path. LOG or HDR footage requires a known source transform.

​
Current limits

Continue to Media effects for blur, bloom, retro, print, glitch, and art treatments. Use HDR rendering when the final delivery must remain HDR.

Implement a grade in HTML

Persist a grade, animate supported properties, or isolate a graded region.
