DaVinci Resolve: AI color grading with Higgsfield Latch

Demo summary

The user demonstrates the 'Latch' tool by uploading a reference photo of a New York taxi and applying its color profile to a video clip, then refining the AI-generated color channels manually.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the Latch tool within the Higgsfield plugin
  2. Upload a reference image to serve as the color grade source
  3. Set the strength slider to approximately 85%
  4. Click Generate to apply the color profile to the video clip
  5. Review the AI-generated adjustments for exposure, shadows, highlights, and color channels
  6. Manually nudge individual color channels to refine the final look

Options

  • Adjust exposure, shadows, and highlights individually after the AI generation
  • Modify individual color channels to match specific elements of the reference

Tips

  • Use a reference photo you have previously color graded to achieve a specific 'moody' look
  • Take the AI's output as a starting point and refine it manually for better accuracy

Highlights

this process is much faster than the full video edits
