Color grade a shot
Film editor·3 min read·Updated 2 months ago
The Color tab in shot tools is where you set the look of a shot. Palette, contrast, warmth, tint, saturation, and grain are all adjustable per shot, with a live before-and-after so you can compare instantly.

The controls
- Exposure: overall brightness.
- Contrast: the range between darks and brights.
- Warmth: cool to warm, blue to amber.
- Tint: green to magenta, for correcting or stylizing.
- Saturation: how much color, from grayscale to vivid.
- Grain: a texture layer for film feel.
- Look presets: one-tap starting points like noir, sunset, polaroid.
Compare before and after
The before-and-after control lets you swipe between the original and your graded version. Use it to make sure the grade is doing what you intend, and not eroding detail you wanted to keep.
Per shot, not per production
Grades are per shot. Adjust one shot and nothing else moves. If you want a consistent look across a whole scene, apply the same preset to each shot. The preset is a name you can recall.
Grade after generation, not during
Let Voysey generate the shot first, then grade. Trying to bake the grade into the generation prompt gives you less control than adjusting it on the finished shot.
