Show HN: An AI Color Grader – Pico
Pico is a tool that uses Claude to assist with color correction for video footage. It focuses on standardizing footage from S-Log3 to Rec.709 rather than providing full AI-driven video editing or grading. The project is presented as a way to reduce repetitive tasks while preserving creative control for users.
- ▪Pico leverages the Claude language model to perform color correction on video clips.
- ▪The tool specifically converts footage from S-Log3 to the Rec.709 color space.
- ▪Pico is positioned as a utility rather than an AI video editor, leaving artistic grading decisions to the user.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
← BackPicoPico is a Claude harness for color correction.Instead of empowering creators to realize their visions, most AI tools focus on automating production end-to-end.The creative act is not something to be automated away. It is a moment of expression, where artists move from an idea in their heads to a story on a screen. Instead of automating away their agency, we should build tools to empower creators.Pico is one opinionated example. Pico is not an AI video editor. Pico is a color corrector. Pico does not grade — you do.Pico merely removes the tedium of standardizing your footage from S-Log3 to a Rec.709 color space.Pico is for you. Try it here.
Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Perbhat.
