SleekPixel for color graders: before-after and reel cards
Colorists ship DaVinci Resolve before-after splits, reel pages, and service tier listings every week. SleekPixel turns each portfolio post on your WordPress site into a clean Instagram card that shows the camera, the rate, and your colorist brand on publish, with no Photoshop work.

Colorist-branded cards on every reel page
A colorist site typically runs a WordPress install with a reel custom post type for graded portfolio pieces, a service_tier CPT for short-film, music-video, and commercial rates, and a steady feed of process posts on log conversion, primary balance, and film print emulation. Each one needs a square Instagram card that fits the colorist brand with the same color, logo, and rate mark across every published portfolio piece on the site.
SleekPixel reads the post title, the _camera_used, the _project_rate, and any custom _color_space meta, then renders a 1080 by 1080 Instagram card with the colorist accent color and the colorist logo. The image regenerates automatically when the reel post is updated, so a camera rename or a rate edit does not leave a stale graphic on the director DM preview or any embedded portfolio link anywhere on the web.
Because the rendered PNG lives at a stable URL tied to the post, the before-after card on Instagram is the same one that shows on the director cold-pitch DM, in the production-house cold email, on the colorist Behance cross-link, and in the Google OG result for the reel page, keeping the colorist look consistent without ever opening DaVinci to export an extra thumbnail just for a share.

-

Features
What SleekPixel gives you for color grader
Before-after reel cards
Every graded reel post produces a square card with the camera used, the project rate, and the color space. The card is ready for Instagram, the director cold-pitch DM, and the production-house email preview the moment the colorist hits publish on the WordPress site.
Service tier pages
Short-film, music-video, and commercial service tier pages render a branded card showing the rate, the turnaround, and the included scope, all pulled from the same WordPress post meta the colorist already fills in for each tier listing on the site dashboard.
LUT and log conversion posts
Process posts on S-Log3 conversion, primary balance, and film print emulation automatically share with a colorist-styled card so the feed looks like one professional colorist rather than ten random DaVinci screenshots from various unrelated grading sessions.
Use cases
Where color graders put their SleekPixel cards to work
New reel adds
Share the new graded reel page on Instagram the day it goes live and the same card appears in the director cold-pitch DM and the production-house email with camera and rate all clearly visible at a glance.
Service tier promos
Service tier pages render a clean square card with rate and turnaround so prospective directors and brands see what is offered at a glance without zooming into the image preview to read the rate sheet.
LUT walkthrough posts
LUT walkthrough and log conversion process posts share with a square card pulling the topic and the colorist handle, keeping the colorist brand stable across every educational post on Instagram or YouTube feeds.
The bigger picture
Why color graders need consistent reel cards
Color graders sell on perceived eye and craft consistency. A clean Instagram feed of branded before-after cards, reel pieces, and LUT walkthroughs signals that the colorist handles every project with the same eye, while a feed of mismatched DaVinci screenshots and inconsistent crops reads as a hobbyist who may not hold a film print emulation across a fifteen-minute short film consistently. The hard part is that color grading work leaves almost no time for design, especially when a new reel piece, a service tier update, and a LUT walkthrough all need their own share images in the same week as a packed Resolve project across three or four production clients.
SleekPixel removes that work entirely. Every reel page, every service tier post, every process tutorial renders a square card that uses the colorist accent color, the colorist mark, and the colorist handle in the same exact place every time. Directors scrolling Instagram see a feed that looks like a real colorist with a real eye.
Production-house managers reading a cold pitch see a card that matches the colorist site they were just on. Search engines pulling the OG image for a reel page see the same colorist identity reinforced. The cumulative effect over a year of weekly posts is a feed that feels like one trusted colorist rather than fifty graphics from fifty different Resolve sessions, and that consistency is what wins the next short-film grade.
Questions
Common questions about SleekPixel for color grader
Yes. SleekPixel maps to any registered ACF or post meta field including _camera_used, _project_rate, and _color_space, so a graded reel post auto-renders a card with the correct camera, the rate, and the color space every time you publish or update the reel page on the colorist site.
Yes. SleekPixel regenerates the rendered PNG whenever the reel post is updated, so a rate change, a camera edit, or a color space update always produces a fresh share card with no stale graphic lingering on a director DM or any embedded Instagram share preview anywhere on the web.
 Yes. If reels are categorized by taxonomy or post meta, SleekPixel can switch the accent color and the colorist mark per category so a short-film reel card looks distinct from a commercial reel card even on the same WordPress install for the same colorist brand identity overall.
 Instagram in-feed posts use a 1080 by 1080 square. SleekPixel renders at that exact size with safe-area padding so the camera used and project rate stay readable when Instagram crops the preview thumbnail in the user feed, the profile grid, and the explore page surface for any one user.
 Yes. SleekPixel reads multi-value meta fields and ACF repeaters so a reel post listing three different camera bodies on a multi-day shoot can render a single card with each camera visible on the share image preview without truncating any of the camera names or production credits.
 Yes. The rendered card lives at a stable URL under the reel post, so the colorist can right-click and save the PNG, drop it into a Resolve still gallery for reference, or include it inline in a director email reply without needing a separate DaVinci export step at any point in the workflow.
 
SleekPixel works with any registered WordPress post type, including CPTs created by Pods, JetEngine, Custom Post Type UI, or ACF. Point it at the reel CPT and the card pulls the camera, the project rate, and the color space the same way it would for a normal WordPress reel or portfolio post.
Yes. SleekPixel can render off the WooCommerce product post type for a paid color grading service tier. The card uses the product title, the price, and any custom meta like _turnaround_days the same way it would for a standard WordPress reel or portfolio post on the colorist site.
