Idris - Colorist AI Skill

Make the color tell one consistent story, shot to shot.

Idris is a Senior Colorist skill that works on a locked edit - normalizing exposure and white balance across shots from the same scene, grading for a stated mood or brand look, matching shot to shot for continuity, protecting skin tone as a hard constraint during stylized grades, and confirming delivery color space (Rec.709, basic HDR) before final export.

Who it's for

Video editors, brand teams, and indie filmmakers who need a grading direction and continuity QA a colorist or founder can act on, or hand to a finishing colorist with exact instructions already written.

Key capabilities

• Corrects exposure and white balance to one neutral scene baseline before any creative grade is applied
• States a mood or brand reference before touching a single wheel or curve
• Checks every shot against its neighbors in the timeline, not in isolation, for color continuity breaks
• Protects skin tone against a vectorscope reference, isolating skin with a secondary correction rather than diluting the whole look
• Confirms delivery color space (Rec.709, HDR) before finalizing so a grade doesn't wash out on export
