Color Transfer / Palette Locking

Once a scene or location's color grade is approved in its first successful generation, that palette is locked in and applied to every later shot in the same setting using a color-transfer tool (used in Soul Cinema in this workflow) rather than trusting each new generation to reproduce the look on its own.

This is a continuity technique in the same family as Blocking Lock via Position Reference and Clean Your Plate (Reference Image Prep for Video Generation) — each locks a different axis of consistency (color, position, background cleanliness) that the model won't maintain on its own, per Continuity Is the Creator's Responsibility (Not the Model's).

Usage

After the first shot in a location reads correctly, run subsequent shots in that location through color transfer against the approved shot so the whole scene shares one palette, rather than re-grading or re-prompting color for each new shot.
