Auto Balancer earns its place in the toolfarm library by pairing automatic and manual white balance, temperature, and tint controls with AI-assisted reference point selection, all inside the free FxFactory platform.
Auto Balancer is a color-balancing plug-in from Noise Industries that runs across Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. It focuses on removing unwanted color casts and simulating different lighting conditions, offering white point, color temperature, and tint adjustments within a user-friendly interface.
Corrections can be applied automatically or by hand, and secondary controls for Vibrance, Exposure, and Gamma let you fine-tune the result. The plug-in also includes AI-assisted reference point selection for targeted color balancing, so adjustments can be directed toward a specific point in the frame.
Auto Balancer requires Noise Industries FxFactory 8.0.13 or later to run, available as a free download, and works on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. A demo video is available, and current system requirements are listed on the FxFactory page.
FxFactory Auto Balancer is best for editors who need to remove color casts, correct white balance, and simulate different lighting conditions across Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
FxFactory Auto Balancer is completely free to download and use.
Auto Balancer works in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. It runs as an FxFactory product, so it needs Noise Industries FxFactory installed alongside your editing app. Because it covers several major platforms, the same white balance, temperature, and tint controls are available whether you edit in Resolve, Premiere Pro, or After Effects. For the most current list of supported application versions and system requirements, check the FxFactory page on the developer's site.
Auto Balancer requires Noise Industries FxFactory version 8.0.13 or later, and FxFactory is available as a free download. FxFactory is the platform that hosts the plug-in inside supported editors. There is also FxFactory Pro, a paid version that shares the same system requirements as the free version. If you already use other FxFactory products, Auto Balancer installs into that same environment. For updated system requirements and installation details, refer to the FxFactory page on the developer's site.
Auto Balancer includes both automatic and manual adjustments, so you can let it set the balance or dial in values yourself. The core tools cover white point, color temperature, and tint, and secondary corrections add Vibrance, Exposure, and Gamma for finer control. It also offers AI-assisted reference point selection for targeted color balancing, letting you point the tool at a specific area of the frame. That gives you automatic, manual, and reference-based ways to approach a correction within one plug-in.
Auto Balancer is listed as free in this catalog. It runs on Noise Industries FxFactory, which is itself a free download, though an FxFactory Pro paid version exists with the same system requirements. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for the current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly. There you'll also find the free FxFactory download needed to run the plug-in inside Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
