Let’s say in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s, videos were only played in black and white. How is it now that they can be colourized? Is it a matter of people adding colour to the videos that may or may not be their actual colours or did cameras capture colour too?

It’s literally just a person (or AI) guessing what the colors of things were. If someone was wearing pants that are obviously jeans, then the artist can just make those pants some shade of blue. They can also go one step further and do research into historically accurate colors and then use those colors. For example, if there’s a record of Levi’s using a certain shade of blue in their jeans from 1905 to 1920. They can match the color as best they can.
There’s not color in the original file that just needs to be ‘unlocked’ through some computer process. It’s literally just a guess.
