Built While at Fox

AutoFinish
AI Post-Production Pipeline

Raw footage in. Broadcast-ready dual-format output delivered. No timeline. No software. No editor in the revision loop. Built from 16 years of professional post-production instinct — now encoded in AI.

Camera Detection & LUT Normalization

Auto-detects 15+ camera profiles — ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, DJI and more. Applies technical LUTs to normalize log footage to Rec.709.

Reference Frame Extraction

Optional reference-based grading. When no reference is provided, the AI grades independently — the way a professional colorist would.

Source Analysis

Analyzes resolution, frame count, FPS, color metadata, dynamic range, and exposure across the full clip.

AI Color Grade

Claude Vision analyzes frames, outputs a calibrated grade — contrast, saturation, gamma, skin protection — baked into a 33×33×33 3D LUT for smooth, broadcast-accurate rendering.

Audio Normalization

Two-pass loudnorm to –14 LUFS. Broadcast-standard audio in every output, automatically.

Broadcast Legal Clamp

16–235 luma range enforcement per ITU-R BT.601/BT.709. Every frame is broadcast-legal before it leaves the pipeline.

16:9 Render — ProRes 4444

Full-resolution broadcast master. ProRes 4444 .mov output, ready for delivery or further post.

9:16 Render — Smart Crop

AI face detection and smart crop for vertical/social output. Both formats delivered simultaneously.

Before / After Comparison

Side-by-side frame export. Visual QA proof with every completed job.

What It Replaces

Traditional workflow: Raw footage → Editor → Colorist → Sound → Export 16:9 → Re-export 9:16 → QA → Delivery. Days. Multiple handoffs.

AutoFinish: Upload. Receive both formats. Done.

What I'd Build

If handed the keys tomorrow.

Rebuild the Workflow From the Inside

16 years in the edit bay means I know exactly where the friction is. I'd audit Fox's post-production pipeline end-to-end and design the system that should have existed years ago — faster, smarter, built for what content actually looks like now.

Deploy AutoFinish Inside Fox

AutoFinish was built on Fox instincts. The next step is bringing it home — integrating the AI pipeline directly into Fox's post infrastructure. Raw footage in, broadcast-ready dual-format out. Editors freed up to do what only humans can do.

Promote Creativity, Exploration & Teamwork

AI doesn't replace the team — it gives the team room to breathe. The goal is a creative environment where editors, producers, and technologists work together with better tools, more time, and less friction between the idea and the screen.

The Operating Principle

"Operate with reverence.
Fail with grace.
Succeed with humility."

Already in Motion
