Answers about colour grading at Mile Studios in Dubai, from preparing your footage to planning delivery for projects across the UAE.

8 questions

What colour grading services do you offer in Dubai?

Mile Studios provides colour correction, shot matching and creative colour grading from our Dubai studio for brands, agencies and production teams across the UAE. We grade commercials, feature films, documentaries, music videos, brand films and TV series, shaping the look around your story and delivery requirements.

What is the difference between colour correction and colour grading?

Colour correction balances exposure, white balance and contrast so shots sit consistently together. Colour grading develops the creative look, using colour and contrast to support the mood of the film. We consider both as part of the finishing process, with attention to natural skin tones and consistency between scenes.

How much does colour grading cost in Dubai?

The cost depends on the length of the edit, the number of shots, the condition of the footage and the complexity of the look. Review rounds and delivery formats also affect the scope. Request a colour grading quote with your edit, visual references and deadline so we can assess the work involved.

How long does colour grading take?

The schedule depends on the running time, shot count, matching work and review rounds. A short commercial and a feature film need different amounts of grading time. Share your final edit and delivery date early so we can plan the grade, feedback and final exports around your project.

What should I prepare before a colour grading session?

Start with a locked edit, meaning the shot order and timing are approved. Prepare a reference export, details of the cameras and recording formats, visual references and your delivery specifications. Before transferring the footage, confirm with us how to supply the original media and edit timeline for your project.

Can you match footage from different cameras and lighting conditions?

Yes. We balance exposure, white balance and contrast to bring footage from different cameras, locations and lighting conditions into a consistent sequence. The result depends on the quality and range of the source footage, so sharing representative shots early helps us assess any limitations.

Do you offer 4K HDR and Dolby Vision colour grading?

Our Dubai studio supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision workflows. Share the delivery specifications for your broadcaster, streaming platform or other destination before grading begins. This helps us plan the colour workflow, highlight detail and contrast for the required viewing format.

Can you keep brand colours consistent across a campaign?

We use your brand references and approved look to guide the grade across the main film and shorter cutdowns. This includes attention to product colours, skin tones and the relationship between shots. Providing references at the start helps keep the finish consistent across your campaign.
