Here’s a game-changer for video editors: fylm.ai just dropped an update that could revolutionize how you collaborate and grade your projects remotely. Update 2.3 introduces a brand-new Adobe Premiere Pro extension, packed with features that streamline color-managed workflows and enhance remote collaboration. But here's where it gets controversial—will this integration truly replace traditional grading methods, or is it just another tool in the editor’s arsenal? Let’s dive in and explore what’s new.
This update builds on fylm.ai’s commitment to cloud-based, color-managed workflows, now available for Pro and Team plan subscribers. If you’ve been following their journey, you’ll recall that version 2.2 introduced Tetrahedral Interpolation and a dedicated skin tone editor (check it out here: https://www.cined.com/fylm-ai-update-2-2-introduced-tetrahedral-interpolation-dedicated-skin-tone-editor-and-more/), while version 2.1 brought the NeuralFilmAI tool (learn more here: https://www.cined.com/fylm-ai-update-2-1-introduced-neuralfilmai-tool-added/), which analyzes and grades images based on individual content and color data. Now, with 2.3, fylm.ai users can seamlessly integrate these tools directly into Premiere Pro, making color grading more accessible than ever.
Premiere Pro Integration: A Workflow Game-Changer
The standout feature of this update is the Premiere Pro extension, which simplifies collaboration and remote grading. With just one click, users can upload an entire timeline to fylm.ai, eliminating the need for exports or intermediate files. Once a grade is created, it syncs back into Premiere Pro, appearing directly on the timeline. And this is the part most people miss—the extension also supports in-app commenting, allowing collaborators to review notes and feedback alongside the graded material without leaving the editor. Since grading occurs in fylm.ai’s cloud environment, teams can work from anywhere, with updates syncing in real-time.
ACES 2.0 and LUT Enhancements: Precision Meets Flexibility
The update also introduces support for ACES 2.0, aligning fylm.ai with the latest color-management standards and transforms. Meanwhile, the enhanced LUT tool now lets users define both input and output color spaces when creating LUTs. This added control is a boon for editors working with diverse log curves or color-space requirements, making it easier to achieve consistent results across projects.
Pricing and Accessibility
The fylm.ai 2.3 update will automatically install when you reload the app. If you’re new to fylm.ai, you can test it out for free by signing up on their website (https://fylm.ai/extensions/premiere-pro/). For those ready to commit, the Pro plan costs $15/month (billed annually), while the Team plan starts at $30/month (billed annually) for three users.
