Introduction to NeuralToneAI – your virtual colorist assistant
In the video titled ‘Introduction to NeuralToneAI – your virtual colorist assistant’ on the fylm YouTube channel, the host introduces NeuralToneAI, a virtual colorist assistant designed to produce cinematic color grades using eight neural network-trained AI models. Each image processed through NeuralToneAI receives eight color grading suggestions based on its context. Users can either use these suggestions as-is or as a starting point for further customization.
NeuralToneAI stands out from traditional presets by analyzing each image individually and applying unique color grades, much like a human colorist would. Each AI model within NeuralToneAI has its own style and preferences, offering a variety of grades to fit different creative directions. To use NeuralToneAI, users must be on the Pro Plan of film AI. The tool can be added to images via the controls tab or invoked from the contextual menu under the media tab.
The video demonstrates how to set up and use NeuralToneAI, including adding it as a tool, generating and saving grades, and batch processing multiple assets. Users can adjust various parameters to customize the grades further. The video also covers how to save and export grades as LUTs, XMP profiles, or Capture One Styles.
Key points include:
1. **Introduction to NeuralToneAI**: Overview of its capabilities and unique approach to color grading.
2. **Setup and Usage**: Step-by-step guide on setting up an account, obtaining an API key, and using NeuralToneAI within the film AI app.
3. **Customization and Batch Processing**: Demonstrates how to customize grades, batch process multiple assets, and save/export grades.
4. **Practical Application**: Example of using NeuralToneAI to establish a look for a photoshoot and adjusting white balance to maintain grade characteristics.
The video provides a comprehensive guide to leveraging NeuralToneAI for professional and creative color grading tasks, making it a valuable tool for photographers and videographers.
