Preparing your footage for color grading isn't always easy. In most cases it can be quite time-consuming. CineMatch will help you color-correct your footage accurately, in just a few easy clicks.
If you shoot with multiple cameras, you can match footage from multiple sources using CineMatch’s unique Sensor Matching technology. Our technology combines our knowledge of your cameras sensor data and Color Space Transform to ensure extremely accurate match results.
If you are working in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, CineMatch can provide you with HDR supported color management, so your footage can look consistent across different devices and monitors. You can choose the color space you want for your project from Rec.709, Rec.2100 HLG, or Rec.2100 PQ for more control over your project's colors.
If your exposure or white balance was off during shooting, you can easily correct it with CineMatch’s controls. Our sliders mimic the controls in your camera, meaning you have more control over each part of your image. Easily adjust the white balance, exposure, temperature and tint of your footage, or apply a Rec. 709 transform
Our False Color views provide a visual guide for adjusting your exposure and white balance. Select between the Middle Grey or Skinstones false colors for any exposure adjustments, or the Temperature and Tint false colors for white balance controls. Those areas of your image will be illuminated, to which you can adjust using CineMatch’s controls to get the perfect exposure and white balance for your shot.
If you plan to unify your footage to a particular camera look, use the 3D LUT generator tool for the best exposure and white balance results. You can set your exposure and white balance accordingly with your preferred camera sensor, and export the LUT to use on a monitor on set, rather than struggling with it in post production.
Finish the correction with the HUE if needed. Use the source and target color pickers to quickly change hue, saturation or lightness of any color in your footage.

The "look" of a camera has two ingredients: the light-sensing characteristics of the sensor, and the color science created by the camera manufacturer. The color science is tailored to the performance of the sensor, and will only reproduce the correct colors when paired with the right sensor.
When you add a Color Space Transform to convert, say, Canon footage to Sony's color science, all you're doing is applying the color science from one camera to a sensor it wasn't designed for. To get truly matched colors, you need to go a step further, by first aligning sensor data from your source to your target, and that's what makes CineMatch different.
With CineMatch, we profile each camera individually under identical shooting conditions, so when a camera records a color, we know exactly how every other sensor reproduces that same color. After adjusting the colors recorded by the sensor so they align, we then reapply the target camera's color science, so it matches the sensor output it's designed for.
This means that you can not only correct your footage using controls that mimic your in-camera controls, but also seamlessly match footage from two different cameras.
