Hello,
to me havc is much better than DDColor alone (see details in the red rectangle)
havc colors are more stable and this is an important feature for video colorization.
Moreover you are not comparing apple-with-apple, Magic Hour is a cloud service and behind they are using powerful GPUs using probably DiT models.
I tried to colorize a frame with MH but the result was quite bad (washed colors)
probably you provided to MH a clip with better quality and resolution.
I attached a couple of clips colorized with longcat-q3 (your target) and flux2-dev-int4 (match MH)
