Dre, if you are planning to make some improvements… a way to batch jobs would be really useful. For example, if we could select a test folder (instead of just a file) and a reference folder then have it cycle through, taking the first file in the test folder, matching it to the first file in the reference folder and generate a LUT for each pair before moving on the the next pair.

Sure, it could take hours to run, but you could color match every shot in a reel automatically, and not have to sit there watching it, waiting to select the next pair of files. Just run it before you go to bed, and apply the LUTs in the morning.

I came here to ask for nearly the same thing and see that it was already posted. I would love to be able to set up two folders with perfectly aligned and cropped frames to figure out the color correction and a third folder with the frames to apply the color correction to. I have a 4:3 source and a 16:9 source that I will use a photoshop script to align and crop into two folders for the color correction program. Having to manually color correct each frame would take forever, but currently due to the dynamic color, doing only a few frames at a time produces good results. Having a way to set up three folders (color reference frame, color target frame, frame to apply it to) with filenames that match would be great (0001.bmp, 0002.bmp, etc.) and a fourth corrected output folder. A whole movie could be automated with perfect color correction if the frames were always aligned the same way.

If you could create this, it would be great! Thanks for your consideration.
