How AI Video Colorizer Works
1
Upload your video
Upload any black and white or grayscale video — old home movies, archival footage, classic film clips, or any video you want to colorize.
2
Adjust the strength
Choose how vivid you want the result. Subtle adds natural, muted tones. Balanced delivers realistic, accurate color. Strong produces vivid, rich coloring for maximum impact.
3
Generate with AI
Magic Hour's AI analyzes the content of each scene to determine the most accurate and natural colors — using context from the video itself, not just generic color maps.
4
Download your colorized video
Your colorized video is ready to download. Colors stay consistent across every scene — the same objects, clothing, and environments keep the same colors from start to finish.
AI Video Colorizer Features
Smart color detection, adjustable strength, and consistent results across every scene
Smart color detection
Magic Hour reads the content of your video — faces, clothing, environments, objects — to determine the most historically and visually accurate colors, not just generic tinting.
Adjustable strength
Choose how colorful you want the result. Subtle for a natural, understated look. Balanced for realistic color. Strong for vivid, rich tones.
Consistent across every scene
Colors stay locked to the same objects, people, and environments throughout the video. No flickering, shifting, or inconsistent hues between frames or cuts.
Works on any black and white footage
Old home movies, archival news clips, classic films, vintage recordings, historical footage — upload any grayscale video and Magic Hour will colorize it.
No frame-by-frame work
Traditional video colorization requires manual painting on every frame. Magic Hour does it automatically across the entire video in minutes.
Free daily colorizations
Free users can colorize videos without a credit card. Paid plans unlock longer videos and more generations per day.

AI Video Colorizer FAQ
AI Video Colorizer takes black and white or grayscale video and adds natural, realistic color using AI. It analyzes the content of your video to determine accurate colors and keeps them consistent across every scene.

Magic Hour reads the context of your video — faces, objects, clothing, environments — to assign accurate colors, and keeps those colors consistent across scenes so the same shirt stays the same color throughout.
