May 29, 2025 Office Hours LIVE!: Why Colourlab.ai is freely distributing JPLog2

In this edition of Office Hours LIVE!, host and Mixing Light CEO Patrick Inhofer is joined by colorist Joey D’Anna, Post-Production Expert Katie Hinsen, and Mixing Light’s newest contributor and Finishing Artist Billy Causey. The guest this month is Colorist Dado Valentic, veteran colorist and founder of Colourlab Ai.

“The trick I was always using when I was improving workflows and image quality, for any client in any production, was I would never look for a magic bullet, for one button that’s suddenly going to change everything. 


No, the way how to improve is, you go step by step through your workflow, and you try to get a 1% better performance from each of the steps. That’s how you get to a better workflow.”
