Color correcting certain parts of a video

Hello,
I am sorta new to Premiere, having come from Final Cut pro. I have a video that has spots that neec color correction. How do I correct those spots, without correcting the whole video?
Any help is appreciated.

I would suggest doing that in After Effects, not Premiere.
-Import your footage and create a new composition.
-Create an adjustment layer with your corrections (color corrector, curves, etc)
-Draw a mask around the region you want the color correction to actually show up. The rest will be unaffected by the correction.
You can create as many seperate adjustment layers as you want to correct each spot within your frame.
Then export the footage and bring it back into Premiere (or use dynamic linking if your machine can handle it).
If you don't want to use AE or don't have it -- you can follow a similar process in Premiere.
-Select the clip you want to add correction to and make a copy of it. Place it on the track above your original clip.
-Apply your color correction effects to the clip on the top track. Initially it will apply to the full frame and that's OK.
-Once you are done with making corrections apply a Garbage Matte to the top clip (four-point garbate matte, eight...sixteen...whatever).
-Adjust the matte to the shape of the area you want to correct.
(note: to edit the garbage matte points, you have to select the effect in the Video Effects panel)
You should be left with a color corrected region defined by the matte itself. Just repeat until you have all the different areas corrected.

  • Assign certain color to certain part  of body CS3 !

    Dear Friends !!
    Here is a little challenging question for some , it might be nothing to some Pros , but to us ordinary editors means a lot !
    Let's say I have a chroma (Green screen)  footage , which contain a simple girl standing in front of green screen acting .
    She is wearing red shirt , blue pants and black shoes in front of a green screen with decent lighting and make up.
    Now , even though she put good amount of make up on her face, but I still don't like the tone or color of her skin, her red shirt is red but not a rich red color as well as her blue pants is not rich blue, I mean a good blue or a nice blue !
    Is there any way to assign certain colors to certain part of her body, I mean let's say her face or skin tone, I wanna have it a little more natural (just the skin) I don't wanna change the color of her hair or clothing !
    and then goto hair and make the hair look more black , without touching her face and her clothing color and ect !

    Either RGB Curves (my personal preference for color correcting) or the Three-Way Color Corrector will allow you to isolate specific luminance (brightness) and chrominance (color) ranges to a certain degree, so that you can affect only the values that you want to adjust. It may take multiple copies of an effect, each working on certain colors or ranges of colors, to get the output you want, but it should be doable.
    Note that this will take a lot of tweaking and work, but if you've never experimented with color correction before, there's no time like the present!

  • I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to  zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

    I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to
    zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

    Yes.
    If you want to see the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select the Ken Burns effect. You can set the starting and ending rectangle for your zoom.
    If you want to go directly to the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, KenBurns Tool and select Crop. Set the rectangle to be where you want the zoom.

  • How do I zoom in on a certain part of a video?

    I am new to premiere pro CS6 and I need to know how I can zoom in on a certain part of a video, by a certain part I don't mean zoom the whole video, just a part of it. For example if I have a BF4 clip and I want to have the main game play running but at the same time have that amount of ammo zoomed in on running in the same frame. How can I do this ?Just like in this picture I quickly edited in Photoshop. as you can see the ammo is much larger than the rest of the game.

    Main video on video track 1.
    Copy of main video on video track 2. Use the Motion Property in the Effects Panel to zoom in, apply the crop effect and adjust, then adjust its location over the main video using the Motion Property.  You can also adjust its transparency if so desired.

  • HELP! How do i color correct an area of a video?

    Hey
    Im new to after effects cs4. I made a time lapse video of the sky. However, the sky is to bright and you can't really see the clouds very well. I would like to change the 'levels' of the sky, but not the buildings at the bottom of the video. So only half of the video will have colour correction on it. How do i do this???? Thanks!

    The gist is simple:
    Create an adjustment layer.
    Draw a mask on the adjustment layer.
    Apply the color-correction effect to the adjustment layer.
    The devil is in the details. For example, if you need to animate the mask, you may have some rotoscoping to do.
    Here's a video that shows how to do this in a case where the item to be color-corrected is moving:
    http://www.peachpit.com/podcasts/episode.aspx?e=8822f9a1-93c5-4a00-8697-a54b653c7aaf
    This is actually a very basic compositing question, so I'm going to strongly recommend that you begin at the beginning and work your way through the getting-started learning materials.

  • Is there a way to create links to certain parts of a video?

    I would like to have links at certain time stamps within my video (which is a recording of my screen I did not use Power Point), this way I can call out important points and the viewer can go straight to them. Is this possible in Adobe Presenter 9?

    Yes but you will have to create some custom JavaScript to do this.
    Also you should be aware that the "Required" property is only processed when the form is submitted to a scripted web page or "mailto:" process.

  • Flash Player disallows certain parts of games, videos, etc. to be clicked on.

    My Flash Player, which is updated to date, has ran into some problems recently. Ever since I downloaded Windows 8: Consumer Preview, certain aspects of videos and games I play or watch are not responsive to my clicks. I have tried using the tab-and-enter method as well; this works with Gmail, but no other site. Many times, this prevents me from playing a video or a game. Any suggestions will be considered helpful, as I'm rather irritated that one of my most-used applications is malfunctioning.

    Important: If you decide to go back to your previous operating system, you'll need to reinstall it from the recovery or installation media that came with your PC, which is typically DVD media. If you don’t have recovery media, you might be able to create it from a recovery partition on your PC using software provided by your PC manufacturer. Check the support section of your PC manufacturer’s website for more information. After you install Windows 8, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on your PC to go back to your previous version of Windows.

  • Color Correcting Different Parts of an Image Differently

    Newbie question, I know. If possible, just point me to the proper term for this and I'll figure it out from there.
    Talking head interview. Guy's sitting in a chair slightly left of frame center; further left is a dark brown wall; to the right is a large window with white semi-opaque curtains. Cameraman is asleep or brain-dead. The image is completely washed out on the right, where the window is; the right side of his face is acceptably lit by the light from the window; the left side of his face is in near total shadow. Imagine my displeasure.
    If I adjust the black level to about zero and the white level to about 90%, I get a nice green check mark in my excess luma indicator. The white window looks fine. But dude is even darker than he was before. What I need is a way to keep the right side of the image (the window) looking good and ALSO lighten up the left and center (the left side of his face and his dark suit (what color I can't even tell, it's so dark).
    Is there a way to do this? Not so concerned about colors per se; more about dark and light. The limit effect doesn't seem to be what I want.
    Thanks.
    Giraut

    Thanks, Randy. That's ingenious, but it doesn't seem to work very well, since the finished image looks like Frankenstein's monster, with half the guy's face looking one way and the other half another way. But ingenious.
    I don't mind using the limit effect if that is the best way to deal with my little problem. Just trying to get a consensus on what to do, after I put a contract out on this shooter.
    Thanks.

  • After Effects - Only Rendering Certain Parts of My Video

    Hey there,
    I'm in the process of creating a videos in AE but when I go to render the footage it only seems to render say 2 minutes of 10.
    Can someone clarify why this is for me?

    We can't know. Your post is completely devoid of any useful info like system specs, version of AE, render settings, comp settings, effects and footage used and whatnot. you have to do a million times better if you expect answers to your problem.

  • Color Correcting Video

    I have a completed video that I made in iMovie. I'd like to know if it's possible to use photoshops color correcting abilities for my completed video.
    I know how to alter color in photoshop, but I don't know how to make a seperate color adjustment for each micro clip within the completed video. I can only get it to apply my color adjustments to the whole video, not just the section that I wanted edited.
    I hope that makes sense
    Thanks in advance!

    I think I answered my own question. I had to drag (as in editing) each adjustment layer to the part of the video that I wanted adjusting. I uneded up having a lot of adjustment layers...

  • Cutting out a certain part of video

    Basically I want to know how I can cut out a certain part of a video and then put it onto another video, for example someones face onto someone else body.

    You might find some of Curt Wrigley's tutorials handy for this:
    http://www.wrigleyvideo.com/videotutorial/tutdes_slipsthrustill.htm
    http://www.wrigleyvideo.com/videotutorial/tutdes_ppro2_smoothface.htm
    Neither is exactly what you want to do, but the techniques are the same. You just need to read between the lines a little bit.
    Now, your video source files can help you get really close, or can get squarely in the way. It might help for you to tell us what your video source files are. Be VERY specidic, as .AVI is but a wrapper, and doesn't tell us anything.
    If you have AfterEffects, it will also give you much more power, but it can be done in PrP.

  • When playing movie in project window it cuts part of the video screen

    I purchased Call Recorder for Skype to record my girls violin lesson over skype with their teacher in Bermuda. Now I need to cut certain parts of the video so we can play it during practice .. I don’t want to play the entire video. I had the Record Video set to "Two Track (Advanced)". I imported the recorded .mov file into iMovie. Then I skimmed the video and selected the part that I am interested in and dragged it to the project window. Now when I play the movie in the event browser, it plays the movie as I would like to side by side. However when I play the segment that I selected in the project window, it cuts 1/2 of each window which is not what I want as I would like to able to play this clip showing both the teacher and the student. What do I need to do???? Help!!!!! Thanks!

    Hi Runa,
    There are a couple of things you need to check. Firstly, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip (segment). Select "Cropping, Ken Burns and Rotation" from the pop-up menu. In the top left corner of the Viewer, click on "Fit".
    Secondly, in iMovie's menu go to File>Project Properties. In the window that opens select the "Timing" tab. For the items "Initial Photo Placement" and "Initial Video Placement" select "Fit in Frame".
    You may need to follow only the second suggestion, as this may fix the whole project for you. Otherwise, use the first suggestion for each of the clips (segments) in your project.
    Also, in the Project Properties General tab ensure that you have set the correct Aspect Ratio for your project, that is, Widescreen (16:9) or Standard (4:3).

  • Color correction on magenta skin tones / white shirt

    I want to color correct a shot that is very blue/ magenta.
    I would like the skin tones to be less magenta and more orange/yellow.
    I get the best results by adding yellow on the Midtones and Shadows.
    My problem is that the Highlights are going yellow, specially a white shirt. I get a better result by by then adding blue on the Highlights. I'm wondering if it's the right thing to do... Also, some Midtones are still too magenta.
    I could isolate the skin tones as secondaries, but still, I have to color correct other parts of the image.
    Any tip? Should I use the advanced settings?
    I know my question as no miracle answer and that color correction should be done by a pro, but I would appreciate any suggestion, thanks.

    I don't know, what does your eye tell you?
    Before anyone can suggest any sort of solution, you need to provide a still as Mr. Owens asked for and then provide some direction for what you want.
    No 2 people on the face of the earth see exactly the same. Color is entirely subjective. If you like what you're doing (I would ask, how you're seeing anything accurately from an iMac) then who cares what anyone else thinks? Unless, someone is paying you for your talent, then you'd best have the best rig money can buy as anything less is a lie.

  • After Effects Color Correction Eye Dropper

    I use the Color Correction Eye dropper for clothing videos and recently it stopped letting me select the dropper.  I've tried restarting the program and computer.  Would I need to re-install After Effects? 

    We are going to need a lot more information.
    What exact point number version of AE are you using? 12.2.1? 11.0.4?
    What effect are you using?
    How are you using it?
    Screenshots showing things like your comp window, timeline, and effects panel would all be helpful in demonstrating your issue.

  • Color correcting wrong white balance

    I apologize if this question is simplistic in nature but I am still an amateur editor trying to fix some of the videos I have done.
    As a scuba diver, I am constantly white balancing underwater.  However, occassionaly, I while white balance where my subject has the correct color but the background is more redish instead of the nice deep blue sea.  What is the easiest way to color correct the background of a video shot without affecting the frontground subject?
    I imagine levels is a great tool but when I attempted to play around with the numerous settings, I kept on affecting the subject as well as the background.  What is the easiest way to correct the background?  Thanks.
