Underwater video

Fix the blue-green cast in your underwater video.

Water strips the warm light out of every clip — and the deeper you go, the more it takes. DeepColors corrects underwater video the way the scene actually looked, keyframes it as your depth changes, keeps every bit of HDR, and hands off cleanly to your editor.

Before After

A single frame from a deep wall dive — before and after DeepColors. Drag to compare.

Why video is harder than photos

A red filter can't follow your dive.

Depth changes mid-clip

A single dive clip drifts from bright shallows into deep blue. A fixed filter can only be right at one depth — the rest of the clip stays off.

Video hides its highlights

Sun shafts and surface glare clip to flat white when a clip is pushed too hard. Correcting video needs an HDR-aware pipeline, not a photo filter.

You still have to hand it to an editor

Most fixes live inside one app. Real projects end up in Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut — so the correction has to travel as a LUT.

Correct a whole dive in three steps

Corrected on import. Keyframed to finish.

01

Import your clip

Bring in footage from a GoPro, action cam, dive housing or your phone — MOV, MP4 or M4V. No account, nothing uploaded.

02

It auto-corrects, then you keyframe

The clip opens already corrected. Scrub to where the light changes and move a slider — that drops a keyframe and analyzes that frame — and DeepColors interpolates the grade across everything in between.

03

Export or bake a LUT

Export 4K HDR or a ProRes 422 / 4444 master — or save a .cube LUT and finish the edit in your desktop app, carrying your DeepColors grade into your edit.

Built to hand off

Export where your edit lives.

DeepColors doesn't trap your footage. Take a finished clip, a master file, or just the color as a LUT.

FAQ

Underwater video, answered

What's the best app to fix the color of underwater video?

DeepColors corrects underwater photos and video automatically — the moment you open them — by recovering the red light that water absorbs with depth, then stretching each color channel for natural contrast. Unlike most dive color apps it grades video with keyframes, preserves HDR, and can export a .cube LUT or 4K HDR / ProRes for your desktop editor. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Why does my scuba or GoPro footage look blue-green?

Water absorbs light by wavelength. Red is essentially gone by about 5 metres, orange by 10, and yellow by 20 — so with depth everything drifts toward blue-green. DeepColors reverses that absorption instead of just adding a fixed red filter, which is why the result looks natural rather than over-corrected.

Do I need a red filter on my camera if I use DeepColors?

No. A physical red filter helps but is fixed to one depth and steals light. DeepColors corrects in software after the dive, adapts to each shot, and with keyframes can follow a clip that changes depth. Many divers shoot without a filter and correct in the app instead.

Can I use DeepColors with DaVinci Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut?

Yes. Export your correction as a .cube 3D LUT and apply it in any editor that supports LUTs, so your DeepColors grade travels with the footage. Exact reproduction can vary with each editor's color management — DaVinci Resolve gives the closest match.

Does it work for freediving, snorkeling and pool footage too?

Yes. The correction is based on color analysis, not scuba-specific metadata, so it works for freediving, snorkeling, holiday reef clips and even swimming-pool footage.
