The picture wing

Grades measured. Edits evidenced. Delivery checked.

MaestroGnome reads the footage before it touches a frame—white balance, exposure, scene cuts, dead air—then grades in Blender with ASC-CDL math and an approved look, and cuts, conforms, and QCs in DaVinci Resolve. Every render lands in the same review your collaborators already use.

Originals never touched · Renders QC'd before the client sees them · Same review clock as the music

The same assistant, behind the picture

Color by the numbers, cuts by the evidence.

Frame statistics, scene detection, transcripts, and silence become a shared model of the footage. The assistant proposes the grade and the edit as a visible plan—wheels, look, frame count, render strategy—and only then runs it.

BLENDER · GRADING

Color by the numbers.

Frame statistics drive ASC-CDL white balance and exposure; one approved cinema look from a library of 53 lands via OCIO. Chunked 4K renders, seam-checked.

DAVINCI RESOLVE · EDITORIAL

Cut, conform, deliver.

Evidence-based tightening and selects land in new variant timelines. Conform is verified frame-exact; loudness, true peak, and codec are checked against spec before delivery.

YOUR PIPELINE · VIA MCP

The same neutral core.

Media analysis, LUT and look authoring, Fusion comps, and render QC are MCP tools. The assistant plans, you approve, the pipeline runs.

Measured, not guessed

A real client session, graded unattended.

A DJ set shot across club light and street daylight. Drag the divider to compare the camera original against the autonomous grade—no manual correction between the two sides.

The whole pass, end to end

From card to client without a manual grade.

Maestro sampled the frames, corrected white balance and exposure with ASC-CDL math, applied one approved cinema look, and rendered the trimmed content only—then delivered both sides to review on one clock.

One clock for score and picture

Clients point to the exact frame—and the exact beat.

The review page plays picture and score on one browser media clock. A timestamped note identifies the visual frame and the musical moment at once, and approved comments return to the correct project and version.

Straight answers

What editors, colorists, and directors ask first.

The picture wing follows the same rule as the sound wing: verified capabilities, honest labels.

Can it grade and edit the video itself?

Yes. Blender handles measured color—ASC-CDL white balance and exposure plus an approved look—and DaVinci Resolve handles cutting, Fusion compositing, and delivery checks. Edits land in new variant timelines; your originals are never touched.

Are my camera originals safe?

Yes. Analysis reads sources without writing beside them, grades render to new files, and edits create variant timelines. Destructive operations are planned, confirmed, and archived before they run.

Can it review a score against video?

Yes. The reference picture and score use the same browser media clock, so a timestamped note identifies both the musical moment and the visual frame.

Does a client or director need to install anything?

No. They open a private browser review, watch the graded picture with the score, jump by section, and leave timestamped comments.
