AI Color Match Pro lets you color-match clips instantly in Premiere Pro and After Effects. It’s fast, accurate, and powered by AI.

Color matching is one of those time-consuming parts of the editing process that often separates amateurs from professionals. You’ve probably been there. Two clips that are supposed to flow together look completely different.

One looks warm, cinematic, and rich, while the other looks flat and ungraded. Trying to manually match colors using curves, color wheels, and saturation adjustments can be time-consuming, and it requires advanced color grading skills.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do that anymore. Thanks to AI Color Match Pro, you can now match the colors of two clips with just one click.

What Is AI Color Match Pro?

AI Color Match Pro is a powerful plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects that uses Artificial Intelligence to analyze and replicate the color tone, lighting, and overall mood of one clip onto another.

In simple terms, you select a reference clip (the look you want to match) and a target clip (the one you want to correct), and the plugin automatically transfers the color style.

Also, the AI model runs locally on your computer. That means it doesn’t need an internet connection to work. It’s a huge advantage if you work under NDAs or handle confidential footage.

How AI Color Match Pro Works

Let’s take a quick look at how this plugin performs inside After Effects (the same workflow applies in Premiere Pro).

  1. Add your clips: Place your reference and target clips on the timeline.
  2. Apply the plugin: Go to the Effects & Presets panel and search for AI Color Match. Drag and drop it onto your target clip.
  3. Select reference: In the Effect Controls panel, under AI Color Match, click Color Style Image and choose your reference clip.
  4. Click “Match Here”: The AI instantly analyzes your reference and applies its tone, lighting, and color palette to your target clip.

That’s it! Within seconds, your clips will look like they were shot on the same camera, under the same lighting conditions. The plugin doesn’t overdo contrast or saturation like many automatic tools do. The results look natural, cinematic, and consistent.

Another useful feature is the ability to export your color match as a LUT (Lookup Table).

This LUT can be imported into:

  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • After Effects
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • Final Cut Pro
  • Or any other NLE that supports LUTs

This is especially handy if you want to apply the same look across multiple clips or projects.

Pricing

AI Color Match is available in two versions – Standard and Pro.

The Standard version supports 8-bit per channel processing and doesn’t include the option to export LUT files. It’s ideal for casual editors who just want quick, consistent color matching without worrying too much about depth or advanced workflows.

On the other hand, the Pro version supports 16-bit and 32-bit per channel processing, resulting in far more accurate and detailed color reproduction. It also allows you to export your color match as a LUT, making it much more versatile for professional work.

While the Pro version costs $349 USD and the Standard version costs $129 USD, the time it saves easily makes it worth the investment, especially if you handle multi-camera projects or need consistent color across various clips.

Final Thoughts

AI Color Match Pro is one of the most practical AI tools I’ve tested for video editors. It’s fast, accurate, and actually saves time, unlike many “AI gimmick” tools that overpromise and underdeliver.

If you often work with footage from different cameras or lighting environments and want a consistent color grade across your edits, this plugin is absolutely worth checking out.
