3 Way Color Corrector causing major slowdown

I'm working on a project at the moment and doing some color correction.  When I apply the 3 Way color corrector to clips, it causes some MAJOR slowdown on my time line, even after the clips have rendered, When I remove the filter, the problem disappears. The footage I'm working with is 1440 x 1080, mpeg-4 video from a Canon handicam (not sure make/model, I didn't shoot the footage). I tried searching the forums, and didn't come across anyone else who has run into this problem. I'd rather not use other filters to make my adjustments, as the 3 way really does a good job of cleaning up the image.
FCP 7.0.3.
OSX 10.7.3
2x2.4 Ghz Quad-Core Intel
16GB 1066MHz DDR3 Memory
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

Okay, thanks for the info Shane. However, that creates another set of issues.  The camera actually records in MTS, which I converted to mpeg-4 (given that it appears like it would work).  The rough cut is done, and I really don't want to go back and do a recut. The problem is that I can't find a good MTS conversion software that will let me convert to ProRes 422 or ProRes LT. Mpeg Streamclip doesn't even recognize the MTS files, which is obvioiusly annoying.
I'm assuming that if I am able to reconvert the files, I will be able to "replace" them in FCP, as all FCP does is link to files... correct? And is there anything you would recommend in terms of conversion. Should I convert the mpeg4 files I have or try and convert the original MTS files.
It's been a few years since I've done any major editing, so I'm a little out of the loop.
Thanks again for your help.
Kyle

  • Three Way Color Corrector: turn off green clipping info in program monitor???

    How can I turn off the green indicator in the program window, that highlights my blacks that contain no image information. I applied a three-way-color corrector via an adjustment layer. Many thanks!

    Hi Joe,
    I am running on a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.8.3, my graphics card is:
      Chipset Model:          Intel HD Graphics 3000
      Type:          GPU
      Bus:          Built-In
      VRAM (Total):          512 MB

      Device ID:          0x0116
      Revision ID:          0x0009
      gMux Version:          1.9.23
    I shot on a flat picture profile with a Nikon D800 and played with the input levels in the 3-way-color corrector. Again, if I brighten the whole image, these indicators will disappear; if I darken the image, they will grow. It is not an artefact, it is a way to show me my crushed blacks. Like a zebra function in cameras. I just cannot find a way to turn this off.
    Thanks again,

  • Three-Way Color Corrector Eyedropper Tool Not Working on Second Display in OSX Maverick

    Hello,
    Since updating to Mavericks at work on Monday, I have been unable to use the Three-Way Color Corrector's eyedropper tool on a dual-screen setup in Premiere Pro CC.
    I have all of my panels, apart from my Program monitor panel, on one display. When I select the Three-Way Color Corrector's white balance eyedropper and go to the second display where my Program panel is, it turns back into an arrow and doesn't allow me to select anything. When I move my Program panel to the same display as the others it lets me use it as normal. Unfortunately that is not how I work and I would like the program to function as normal.
    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and discovered a solution. I will submit a bug report right now.
    Thank you.

    Hi Punker,
    Thanks for posting the workaround. This is a known issue that we're investigating. Fow now the workaround is to:
    Goto> System Preferences>Mission Control.
    Un-tick "Displays Have Separate Spaces"
    Logout or Re-boot system.
    The issues should be resolved.

  • (three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

    Hi I'm using PP 2014 on Yosemite. Anyone notice (three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

    strange. same stats here but im getting intermittent.... sometimes i can use the mask and the effect is only limited to the masked area. most of the time the masked area is ignored and the effect is applied to the whole image

  • Secondary Color Correction in Three-Way Color Corrector keeps crashing

    Every single time, without fail, when I check "Show Mask" the click an eyedropper in the Secondary Color Correction section in the Three-Way Color Corrector it makes my program crash. It freezes. I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 on Mavericks on a MacBook Pro. Can anyone help? Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thank you.

    One other simple gotcha is to be color correcting but the viewer is not showing the current clip (the one you are working on...)
    Thanks for posting back. Good to have closure on questions.

  • Audio drops when using Three-Way Color Corrector in CS6

    Hello all,
    I recently encountered a very odd issue while editing a friends wedding video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  I had an interview with a guest laid over a music track and had all the audio adjustments made to both audio tracks so that the levels were where I wanted them.  I then added the Three-Way Color Corrector to the video track and corrected the footage to my liking.  When I played back this section of the wedding video, half way through the person's interview, his audio cut out.  The audio from the music track was still playing, so it was not that audio drop that most people are familiar with within Premiere.  I even muted the music track and played back the mentioned section of video and at the same exact point in time his audio just cuts out completely.  I checked to see if any weird key frames had been added and nothing had been touched (that I could see).  Also, the audio waveforms were still visible.  I deleted the Three-Way Color Corrector effect off of the clip and suddenly there were no more audio problems.  Eventually, needing color correction, I added an adjustment layer and assigned the Three-Way Color Corrector to that and had no issues, but I still don't see what could have been the problem, and it seems like a glitch to me.  Has anyone ever had this happen to them?  If so, what are your thoughts?  Thanks!

  • Where is Histogram in Three-way Color Corrector

    The Three-way Color Corrector Help section states: "The effect has a histogram that displays the image’s luminance." Where is this histogram?

    Good tips from Robodog2 and Shooternz.
    A histogram can be dynamic just like the waveform monitor. But the Levels histogram (the only histogram I can find in P Pro) does not work that way. It displays a shapshot of the currently visible frame. You have to close that dialog box, move the CTI, and reopen the Levels dialog box to see the updated histogram.
    Comparing histograms in P Pro with PS shows you how that the two programs view images differently. Why that's so, I don't know. But here are two screenshots showing histograms from both products of the same video frame:
    This is the P Pro Levels effect histogram for a frame in a clip.
    And this is the PS histogram for that same frame.
    The Three-Way Color Corrector, Tonal Range Output display shows you what P Pro sees as Shadows, Midtones and Highlights. You can alter the default settings for what P Pro considers Shadows, Midtones and Highlights by changing the settings in the Tonal Range Definition control.
    In any event, this thread started with a query based on what we now know was a mistake in the P Pro CS5 Help file. I have posted a correction to that Help file page.
    Bottom line for me...other NLEs and color correction tools have histograms. P Pro, for all practical purposes, does not have one. Perhaps an Adobe engineer might weigh-in on why that is so.
    Best regards,
    Jeff

  • Three Way Color Corrector from PP 7.2.2 to 8.0.1 issue

    Hello,
    On my desktop pc I am running PP 8.0.1 on Win 7 Pro. I opened a 7.2.2 Project file in 8.0.1 and some instances where the Three Way Color corrector is applied shows as solid green in the program monitor.
    The footage is mts AVCHD straight from the camera. If I turn off the fx switch for the TWCC the video displays fine. If I delete the TWCC effect from the clip and re-apply it, it also works fine.
    PPCC 8.0.1 seems to be having an issue with the TWCC that was applied to clips in the previous version of PP.
    Before messing with drivers, etc, I copied the project file (the 7.2.2 proj file) and footage to my laptop also running Win 7 and 8.0.1 to see if the error was still occurring. I opened the 7.2.2 project file and PP converted to 8.0.1 and the result is the same. The clip with the TWCC that was originally applied in 7.2.2 is still showing up as solid green in the program monitor. Different computer, different video card, different driver, same result. Exports out as solid green as well in AME.
    Is anyone else experiencing any issues with any of the color effects after converting a previous version PP proj file to an 8.0.1 project file?

    Hi Shane,
    I don't see this at all on my system. Anyone else? Have you filed a bug yet? http://adobe.ly/ReportBug

  • COLOR vs FCP - three-way color corrector adequate?

    The route between FCP and Color doesn't always seem to be entirely smooth. I've realised I can get very similiar grades with the FCP color corrector.
    Obviously, I don't have the scopes and displays. But I can do pretty well 'by eye'...
    I assume for basic grading, there is no real difference? Any opinions?

    Patrick Sheffield wrote:
    I say horses for courses...
    I'm glad you said that.
    FWW, FCP uses a YCbCr colorspace, and Color uses RGB.
    For a quick comparison check this out:
    http://www.fini.tv/2010/03/23/color-wheels-in-final-cut-pro-and-apples-color/
    The basic idea is, when correcting in YCbCr, address luminosity (brightness)
    issues first, then hue and saturation.

  • 3 way Color Corrector Filter in FCP 5 and FCP6 the same?

    I'd like to know if when I make a color correction with the 3 way corrector filter on a clip in FCP 5 if the same value apply for the same clip in FCP 6 (considering I use the same QT 7.2).
    To be more clear, for exemple:
    "Clip 1" color correction with the 3 way corrector in FCP 5 is: Saturaton 80 / Highlight 122 / Midtones 105 (and other values for color balance)
    If I apply the same values for "clip 1" in the 3 way corrector in FCP 6, the correction will be exactly the same?

    Thanks, now more tricky:
    If I make my color corrections (with the 3 way) of "clip 1" in FCP 5
    Will I have the exact same results if:
    I make a self-contained QT of "clip 1" without any color corrections, import it in FCP 6 and then apply the 3 way corrector with the same values I used in FCP5 ??
    Thank you.

    they are present in AE, but in premiere it doesnt give me the abilitly to see the mask.... were some things changed?

  • Color Corrector's Frame Viewer Split Not Showing Up On External Monitor

    Kind've a long title - sorry - but . . . here's my question:
    Why am I not able to see the Frame Viewer's split on my external monitor?
    A further, more detailed explanation of the problem:
    I recently purchased Ripple Training's Color Correction with Andrew Balis. It's very, very imformative and I think will help a lot when it comes time to begin color correcting the feature I'm working on. The section I'm on shows the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window that presents itself when one opens Color Correction under the Arrange area. In other words, Arrange>Color Correction sets up your windows for color correcting with your Viewer, Canvas, and Tool Bench windows aligned from left to right. When one opens up the 3 Way Color Corrector on a clip and makes a change in the clip, the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window will show a split screen where on one side you'll have your clip with the color correction you just did, and the other side un-color corrected. Isn't this (split) image supposed to show up in your external monitor just as the images in the Canvas and the Viewer?
    That doesn't seem to be happening on my external monitor.
    I'm not sure if this problem/issue I'm having is related to the muticlipl issue I posted in an earlier thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1330596&tstart=0
    perhaps.
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Javier Calderon

    Ahhh, Shane. So it's as simple as that? So then there's nothing wrong with my setup or my external monitor? FCP's just not designed to show the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer image in your external monitor? Wow . . . Well that answers that then I guess. And you're right . . . that IS indeed kind've lame . . .
    Thanks.
    Javier
    . . . um . . . doesn't that kind've defeat the purpose of proper color correction then (regarding the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer anyway)? If the only place you can see your color corrected Frame Viewer split images is on a monitor that's NOT suited for color correction? Anyway . . . just a thought . . .
