# Correct Video Color ## Catalog - Display name: Correct Video Color - Category: Video and audio - Status: Ready - Route label: Measured deterministic grade; MiniMax H3 only when temporal rewriting is required - Tone: orange - Short description: Correct white balance, exposure and shot-to-shot consistency without changing content or creative look. ## What this skill does - Restores plausible neutrals, skin tones, highlight detail and shadow separation over time. - Distinguishes technical correction from an optional creative grade. ## How to use Provide footage, lighting issue, neutral or skin references, protected brand colors and delivery space. #### Example ```text Correct the mixed green fluorescent and daylight cast; keep skin natural and preserve the blue jacket exactly. ``` ## Workflow 1. Preserve the source and inspect representative frames across every shot for exposure, white balance, contrast, saturation, clipping, noise, and temporal shifts. 2. Determine the input transfer/color space from metadata and measurements. If log versus display-referred is ambiguous, ask; never fit Rec.709 black, midpoint, or highlight targets directly to unidentified log footage. 3. Define neutral, skin, reference-shot, and protected brand-color anchors. Treat skin loci and histogram targets as diagnostic evidence, not universal aesthetic truth. Separate technical correction from any optional creative look. 4. Prefer a deterministic correction chain or generated .cube LUT when
