Show HN: An AI Color Grader – Pico
TL;DR
I'm a filmmaker, and have been pretty frustrated by AI video editors that are focused on automating editing instead of helping artists produce their visions. Recently got curious about whether Claude could color grade my footage, and built Pico. Turns out Claude can (sometimes! ) Please feel free to ask questions, try it on your own footage, or contribute to the project!
Nauti's Take
The angle is smart: instead of automating the edit, Pico targets color grading, where creatives lose the most time and where the look is actually made. The limit is reliability, since the builder admits it only works sometimes, and a Show HN project with no traction does not replace a DaVinci pipeline.
Hobby filmmakers get a useful first pass, while professional colorists should treat it as an idea generator rather than a finished tool.
