Color Grade Prompter sits in the toolfarm library as one of Blace Plugins' color tools. It stands out for pairing an AI grading workflow with direct LUT export and CPU or GPU processing, and its changelog shows steady maintenance through mid-2026.
Color Grade Prompter is a color grading plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro, developed by Blace Plugins. It uses an AI backend to process footage and can export LUTs directly.
The plugin runs in CPU mode on all supported systems and adds hardware acceleration on Windows with an NVIDIA GPU and on MacOS 12.3 or later with M1/M2 or Intel-plus-AMD hardware. Hardware acceleration runs orders of magnitude faster than CPU mode. A CUDA Memory Sharing option speeds up rendering of resolutions above 4K on CUDA, and a Stop Processing button cancels long-running computations immediately.
It supports After Effects 2026 through 2023 and Premiere Pro 2024 and 2023, with 16-bit composition support. A free trial covers 50 frames per session and one LUT export, and a demo video is available. Recent releases centered on out-of-memory feedback, stability and performance across models.
Color Grade Prompter is best for aI-based color grading and LUT export inside After Effects and Premiere Pro on Windows or MacOS.
Color Grade Prompter is completely free to download and use.
Color Grade Prompter supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023, along with Premiere Pro 2024 and 2023. The developer recommends testing your configuration with the free trial before purchasing, since results depend on your host version and hardware. The trial lets you process 50 frames during a single session and try one LUT export, which is a practical way to confirm compatibility on your own setup before committing to a full license.
Color Grade Prompter runs in CPU mode on all supported systems, but hardware acceleration availability depends on your GPU. On Windows, hardware acceleration works with an NVIDIA GPU, while Windows machines with other GPUs are limited to CPU mode. On MacOS 12.3 or later with M1/M2, or an Intel machine with an AMD GPU, hardware acceleration is supported; MacOS 11.5 and above runs CPU mode only. Hardware acceleration runs orders of magnitude faster than CPU mode.
Color Grade Prompter includes a CUDA Memory Sharing option that accelerates rendering of big resolutions above 4K on CUDA. For long-running computations, a Stop Processing button lets you cancel immediately rather than waiting for a job to finish. The plugin also supports 16-bit compositions. Recent updates focused on out-of-memory feedback and memory consumption across its models, so checking the developer's page for the latest version is worthwhile if you regularly work with high-resolution footage.
Color Grade Prompter is listed as free in this catalog. A trial version is also available that can be tested for 50 frames during one session, with one LUT export allowed. For current licensing terms and any details beyond the trial, check the developer's page. The licensing framework was updated in a past release, so the developer's page is the most reliable source for how licensing works today.
