Color grading with Imagine agent: one-shot clips, Grok grid previews and previz workflow
Kyrannio · x · 2026-09-03
The author shares a hands-on workflow for color grading short video with xAI's Imagine agent:
- One shot at a time: generate a single clip per run, with several variations, angles and inserts.
- Grid comparison: ask Grok to append the outputs into a grid afterwards, making it easy to compare how dark or light each clip feels and spot which ones just don't work.
- Iterative grading: realizing their existing footage was graded too bright, the author dialed the grade darker step by step until landing on a good middle ground.
- Crude previz: after finishing a few clips, have Grok stitch them together roughly to preview the piece, which helped cut heavily and narrow focus.
They recommend Imagine agent for workflows needing freeform experimentation and content organization, and praise the Imagine team's color grading work.
