Leumos AI - An AI tool to fix the $300/hr color grading bottleneck

Every indie filmmaker, creator, and video editor faces the exact same problem: You shoot great footage, but it looks like a home video until it is color graded.

The problem? Professional color grading requires years of color science mastery, specialized hardware, and tools like DaVinci Resolve. Hiring a professional colorist easily costs $100 to $350+ per hour.

Because of this, independent creators are forced to rely on generic 3D LUTs or one-click filters. But static LUTs are mathematically blind:

They do not know if your shot is overexposed or underexposed.

They apply the exact same color shift regardless of lighting.

They regularly crush shadow detail into solid black and turn skin tones unnaturally orange.

I spent years seeing incredible indie projects released far below their visual potential simply because the creators could not afford a dedicated color budget.

So, I built Leumos AI (https://yourwebsite.com) to solve this.

What is Leumos AI?

Instead of applying a static filter over your video, Leumos AI analyzes footage shot-by-shot. It looks at luminosity data, spatial structures, and color distribution to perform real-time, non-destructive normalization before any aesthetic style is applied.

Key Capabilities:

Shot-by-Shot Normalization: Automatically balances exposure, contrast, white balance, and saturation while protecting skin tones.

Reference Image Grading Engine: Upload any still image—from Blade Runner 2049 to a film scan—and the AI extracts its color DNA (palette, tone curve, shadow tint) to replicate the look onto your footage with a simple intensity slider.

Timeline Shot Matching: Automatically matches shot-reverse-shot dialogue cuts across a scene so your sequence feels seamless, even if lighting shifted while filming.

Pro Camera Support: Handles native LOG profiles (Sony S-Log, Canon C-Log, ARRI LogC) and converts them cleanly into Rec.709 color spaces.

How It Works Under the Hood:

Raw / LOG Footage -> Automated Scene & Cut Detection -> Shot-Aware Normalization -> Style Transfer via Reference Image Engine -> Timeline Continuity Matching & Export

By decoupling image normalization from artistic style transfer, the AI ensures your clips do not suffer from digital clipping or artifacting.

Built for Everyone (Zero Color Science Required):

You do not need to know what vectorscopes, lift/gamma/gain, or nodes are to use it.

Whether you are a video editor who wants to speed up client turnarounds, an indie filmmaker submitting to festivals, or a content creator dropping daily YouTube videos, Leumos AI automates the tedious technical fixes so you can focus entirely on storytelling.
