In the Media sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Color Grading delivers measurable results that transform how media professionals communicate with their audience.
Media companies are both producers and subjects of video content, creating a layered production dynamic. Traditional media outlets need video to maintain relevance in a digital-first landscape where text articles alone no longer drive sufficient engagement. Video journalism, live news coverage, and documentary production require different skill sets and equipment from entertainment or marketing content. The constant pressure of news cycles means production workflows must be measured in hours, not days. Meanwhile, media brands themselves need promotional content — show trailers, behind-the-scenes features, and cross-platform teasers — to compete for audience attention in an increasingly fragmented viewing landscape.
82% of internet traffic is now video content. Media companies must produce broadcast-quality video at editorial speed and scale. The shift from text-first to video-first newsrooms demands new workflows, skills, and equipment — while maintaining journalistic standards and editorial integrity.
Digital media competes for attention in 15-second increments. Content must hook viewers instantly, work silently with captions, and adapt to multiple platform formats. Traditional media must reinvent itself while digital-native outlets raise production quality expectations.
A digital news outlet pivoted to video-first content strategy. Their audience tripled in 18 months, advertising revenue grew 230%, and they secured a distribution deal with a major streaming platform based on the quality of their documentary content.
Media video drives sustainable growth: video news content generates 6x more social shares than text, multi-format repurposing extends content lifespan 5x, and video-first newsrooms see 65% higher audience engagement. Media brands with strong video presence command 3x higher CPM rates from advertisers.
1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.
2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.
3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.
4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.
Color grading is the creative process of establishing the visual mood and tone of your film through deliberate color manipulation. Working in DaVinci Resolve's node-based pipeline, we shape skin tones, push shadows toward specific hues, control highlight rolloff, and create a look that supports your story — warm and nostalgic, cold and clinical, or desaturated and gritty. This goes beyond technical correction (which we handle separately): grading is an artistic choice. A 5-minute project takes 2-3 days; feature-length work takes 1-2 weeks. We deliver graded masters in ProRes 4444 or DNxHR and can export matching stills for marketing use.
You receive: color-graded master in ProRes/DPX, custom LUT package, before/after comparison frames, HDR and SDR versions, and color-consistent stills for marketing.
