I one tried colourlab.ai for automatic color correction in FCPx, and while it could save me some time, I had to abandon it because the roundtripping didnt really work and destroyed all my audio work when reimporting the timeline..
Now version 3 came out and I was wondering if someone uses colourlab.ai with premiere and could share some experience. Auto-matching cameras worked quite well then and it has scene detection for auto color, so it does keep colors consistens over multiple shots while adobe premieres auto color doesnt.
I tried to install it on premiere and could send the timeline to colourlab but couldnt send it back, so I am waiting for a fix but wanted to know if its woth the hassle.

As noted elsewhere, I've talked with Dado about that at NAB, and it's pretty interesting. But I've not used it, so I'll be fascinated for any replies or discussions here on this thread!

Its not doing much magic, but it certanly helps speed up things a little. Unfortunately it often wasnt worth the hassle of the roundrtip workflow - and there were numerous issues by roundtripping.

Ja couldn't get it to work with premiere. I can send the timeline to colorant but cannot bring the corrected timeline back. Even a simple ProRes timeline does not work.

Colourlab V3 has already come out and in the next days it will support premiere as well. Maybe this one will work. But it seems as if it will destroy most audio effects and transitions already applied to your sequence. So its not a flawless workflow as they claim. You can do it the old school way and wait for picturelock until you start grading and then just replace the video track (plus add effects like zoom or denoise again), or you grade on an early stage and then apply all transitions and so on to your timeline..

Can confirm this is still the case with Premiere - grades will not push back to the premiere timeline they came from. Fetching from premiere works just fine. Unfortunate. Will let you know if I can code a workaround, otherwise, I'll probably cancel Colourlab
