CyberLink ColorDirector Ultra is a specialized, standalone color grading software and the perfect companion to PowerDirector for serious color work. The “Ultra” version provides the complete toolkit for achieving professional color results, from basic white balance correction to complex secondary grading and HDR finishing. It features AI-powered tools, LUT support, and precise color wheels/scopes, making high-end color grading accessible outside of expensive DaVinci Resolve or Adobe suites.
CyberLink ColorDirector Ultra is developed for colorists, video editors, filmmakers, and content creators. It is specifically designed for professionals and enthusiasts who require dedicated, advanced tools for color correction, grading, and stylistic look creation, transforming raw or flat footage into cinematic visuals.
AI-Powered Color Tools: AI Sky Replacement (with automatic scene relighting), AI Style Transfer (apply color looks from photos/videos), and AI Color Match (match color between different shots/cameras).
Professional Color Grading Workspace: Full-featured color wheels (shadows, midtones, highlights), curves (RGB, HSL), and advanced sliders for precise adjustments.
Video Scopes & HDR Support: Built-in waveform, vectorscope, and histogram for accurate color analysis. Full support for HDR10 and HLG grading and output.
LUT (Look-Up Table) Management: Import, apply, and create custom 3D LUTs. Includes a library of cinematic and creative LUTs.
Selective & Secondary Color Correction: Use masks, color ranges, and motion tracking to apply grading to specific areas of the frame (e.g., making a subject’s eyes pop, adjusting a sky).
Seamless Integration with PowerDirector: Round-trip editing allows sending clips from PowerDirector to ColorDirector for grading and back without re-rendering intermediate files.
Color Presets & Batch Processing: Save custom looks as presets and apply them to multiple clips or entire projects for consistent styling.
The 2026 release introduces enhanced AI precision, new creative tools, and performance upgrades:
AI Skin Tone Protection: New intelligent algorithm that applies color grades while preserving natural skin tones, preventing faces from looking unnatural.
Enhanced AI Sky Replacement 2.0: More realistic lighting interaction and reflection matching when replacing skies, with improved handling of complex objects like trees and buildings.
Color Grading Preset Marketplace (New): Access to a new online marketplace where users can download and share custom color grading LUTs and presets created by professionals.
Improved Performance with GPU Acceleration: Better utilization of OpenCL and modern GPU architectures for faster rendering of effects, especially when using AI tools and 4K/HDR footage.
Streamlined UI & Workflow: Redesigned adjustment panel and keyframe controls for a more intuitive and efficient grading process.
