Dailies Lab

At our facility, your rushes flow through a full-featured pipeline: secure media offloads with verification, transcoding, sync, and dailies grading. Metadata management, QC, VFX pulls, and conform workflows are included by design. Editorial proxies and review files are delivered securely, with optional LTO-7 or LTO-8 archiving for long-term data security.

Everything is handled on-site at our Vienna-based Dailies Lab — colorwise.

Why Dailies Matter

Dailies shape how a film is experienced throughout production. They’re often seen longer than the final grade and can unintentionally set a visual baseline that’s hard to break later. If the look doesn’t match the creative intent from the start, it limits choices down the line. That’s why dailies grading should reflect where the project is headed — not just what was captured.

When we’re also grading the film, we approach dailies like a first pass — shaping the image with the same care, just under tighter time constraints. That early work doesn’t go to waste; it forms the foundation for the final grade, streamlining the process and reducing both time and budget in post.

Why Work with colorwise

We get involved early — developing the look, creating LUTs, and setting up the camera pipeline to align with your visual intent. We support the shoot with remote or on-set DIT services, manage VFX pulls and conform during editorial, and take the project through grading and final delivery.

From prep to finish, we stay connected — creatively and technically — to ensure the look evolves without compromise.
