Partial The UI, LUT export (.cube files), and preset library are straightforward, but producing a convincing grade match from a reference frame needs color-science expertise to get perceptually good results.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a desktop or web app with image processing (Python with NumPy/OpenCV or a WebGL pipeline) that measures tone curves and per-band tints, then emits 3D LUTs in standard formats. The hard part is the color-matching model: it must handle log versus Rec.709 correctly, avoid scene-content bias, and validate results. A builder needs colorist and imaging knowledge plus a test set of graded footage.
