Hue shift a video's colors by API for a Candy Pink look
Shift a whole video's hue and saturation with the hue, vibrance and colorize filters on Sume's video filter. One encode job, one new MP4, no preset library.

Send a hue filter to POST /v1/video-filter. A graph such as hue=h=330:s=1.3 rotates every color in the clip and boosts saturation, and the job returns a new MP4. It is a whole-frame shift, not a preset and not a per-object recolor.
Higgsfield's changelog (Aug 21, 2026) lists Color Palette with 50+ color-grading presets, including Candy Pink and Lime Jam. Sume ships no named palettes. What it ships is the filter allowlist in Video filter, read 2026-10-01, so you build the look from parameters.
Which filters change color?
hue rotates hue and scales saturation. vibrance lifts muted colors more than saturated ones. colorize tints toward a single hue. All three are on the allowlist, along with eq, colorbalance and others.
| Filter | Use it for |
|---|---|
hue | Rotate every color; scale saturation |
vibrance | Boost muted colors without clipping saturated ones |
colorize | Push the whole frame toward one hue |
What does a request look like?
Import the clip first, then post the graph. Tune h (degrees) and s on a few seconds before running the full clip.
curl -X POST https://api.sume.com/v1/video-filter \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: hue-001" \
-d '{
"video_url": "https://media.sume.com/artifacts/artf_demo/clip.mp4",
"filtergraph": "hue=h=330:s=1.3,vibrance=intensity=0.4"
}'Can I recolor only one object?
No. These filters act on the whole frame. To isolate one color range, see keep one color, rest gray; for a grade by eye, see color-correct a video.
What does it cost?
The docs state a flat public rate per encode job and a free check, so trying a value on the check endpoint costs nothing.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Price | $0.02 per encode job; the check is free |
| Source | Up to 300 seconds, on media.sume.com |
| Graph | Up to 2048 chars and 32 named filters; no [0:v] stream specifiers |
