Apply Color Correction to next clip

I'm pretty sure I was able to do this about a month ago. I originally found how to do it in the help index, but I cannot find it now.
I'm looking to apply my color correction to the next clip in the timeline. Just like in FCP7, you were able to apply it to the two (or one) clips behind or in front of the clip you're using the CC from.
Thank you.

We don't have the same privelidges in this area that we enjoyed in FCP7.
The best you can do is select the corrected clip and hit Cmd+C to copy it.
Then select the clips you want to apply the same correction to and press Alt+Cmd+V to Paste Effects.
Note:
If you already have any effects on those clips, they will be overwritten.

How do I apply color correction from one clip to multiple clips?

Hey Everyone,
I coming to find out that I'd like to apply the color correction from one clip to multiple without clicking, dragging, and punching in every setting clip by clip. Does anyone know how? This would be a total time saver! Thanks in advance.

Grizzly,
You are too awesome! Thank you so much my friend.

How to apply 3 way color correction to multiple clips in Final Cut Pro?

I have multiple clips from the same time and space footage that need color correction. I have worked on one of the clips and found the settings I like.
Is there a way to apply that correction to other clips without starting from scratch on each one?
Thanks!

SoCal (above) listed one way. Another way you can do it if you like the color correction that you have done and want to save it, you can click the picture of the hand in the color correction tab and drag it into the browser. This saves that specific arrangement of colors, highlights, etc.
Also, this might be a little easier but instead of pasting attributes and right clicking you can just grab the hand (that I just talked about) and drag it onto the clips you want to apply the same color correction to. The hand is located in the color correction tab (in viewer) and is under the "numeric" button.
Note: All of your clips in your timeline will have different contrasts, brightness, colors, etc. NO clip is going to have the EXACT same attributes as another. It doesn't matter how expensive and professional your camera is. Every shot is different whether you are using artificial lighting or the natural lighting. Having that said, you will probably still need to adjust your different clips a little bit to make them look like they are in the same room at the same time. Hopefully if your lucky or had perfect lighting for all of your shots, you will not have to do much messing around with your contrast, brightness, etc. Good luck!

Color correcting multi edit clips

I need some help. I would like to do the color correcting on 3 clips that will be used in a multi edit. The way I have been color correcting the footage is to just drag the whole clip on the timeline and do the color correcting before I do any editing and cutting of the clip. Is there a way I can do the same thing with multi cam clips? Once they are on the timeline, the corrections are made on the timeline, but the original clips don't change?
Bruce Cleveland

I think Jerry is suggesting you do the following:
-Duplicate your clip in the browser (option-d)
-Dbl-click the new clip (will load it in viewer)
-Apply Color Correction (this will affect the clip as it resides in your browser, leaving the original master clip untouched)
-lather/rinse/repeat for all clips to be used in multiclip
-create your multi-clip and edit away
Can I also do this with clips on the timeline
There are procedures for this within a multiclip environment, but I'm not remembering them well enough and no longer have access to a multiclip system for review and assistance. Check your manual..I remember this part frankly being a little convoluted, so a search of this forum or the other previously posted links should help.

Apply color correction to the sequence, not clip

Is it possible to select all clips in the sequence, then apply color corrector, or brightness/contrast filter _with a specific setting_ to the whole sequence?
Currently when I select all in the sequence, apply a correction through effects > video ... etc, then change a setting, it will only change the setting one clip from the sequence.
I know it is possible to work around this and do it with one clip and then paste attributes, but if there's another way, please let me know.
Thank you!

Michel,
That's a great idea, why didn't I think of that? Thank you for your fast reply, I got it near instantly on the iPhone and was laughing at how simple and smart a solution you had!
Cheers,

Built-in "Camera RAW style" color correction for each clip in CS6

Camera RAW has the best sliders for image control. Super easy and ultra natural looking.
I mean if you want to fix White Balance with in-camera like precision or lift shadows or fix highlights Camera RAW is the quickest tool that produces amazing results.
I have compared Davinci Resolve, Phase One (Capture One), Adobe SpeedGrade and Color Finese. And the best "quick fix" results are archived in Camera RAW even with 8-bit TIFFs exported from Premiere's DSLR timeline.
The point is, why can't we add simple sliders for Temperature / Tint / Exposure / Contrast / Highlight / Shadows / Clarity / Vibrance directly to Premiere's clip.
So the user will not waste time to export TIFFs to Camera RAW or DPX to SpeedGrade.
Some more comments.
1. Three Way Color Corrector contains too much submenus and often doesn't produces results wanted.
Wheel-type color mixers are more suitable for Secondary color correction in my opinion.
At first it nice to setup correct White Balance using sliders and only then make some sylish tuning with these wheels.
2. It's a pity that Camera RAW exported sequences tend to flicker sometimes. I guess it's because of photo-like processing style. It adapts to every single image. Would be cool to have an option to disable this adapting feature, especially useful for timelapses. Have anyone encountered this problem with Camera RAW?
Maybe someone knows a plugin for Premiere and AE that has direct slider for Temperature and Tint?

@mandurphy: If you haven't already done so, you might want to submit a formal feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
You're also welcome to post "Me too" in as many threads as you like, but doing that a hundred times will not get as much attention from the decision-makers in charge of the feature priorities as submitting a single genuine feature request.

Chroma keying and color correction on same clip

I have an image, with some people shot on a green chroma key background. I want to key it on another image, and desaturate it, except the yellow color.
I have no problem keying out the green. I can also desaturate the image, with the deaturate filter, but if I apply the color corrector, and work with it to only keep the yellow color in the image, then my chroma keying is lost.
It kinda turns of the chroma key completely.
What is the easiest way to chroma key out the green of an image and desaturate everything except the yellow color of the image?
I have Final Cut Studio, so if it's easier to do it in Motion, then I'll do that...?
It's shot on HDV, so it's already a little tricky to key out the green perfectly.
thanks for your help.

After you key the image, export it as a self contained QT movie. Then re-import it, and color correct it to suit your needs.

Apply color correction to all footage by changing one color?

Hello everybody,
I have two versions of the same footage which I want to synchronize and make one video out of them. By masking, I've put one on top of the other and I'm synching the footage, but the colors are slightly different in the bottom one (a bit brighter). I've tried to correct it using several filters, but even though I get some really good results changing the values (I'm using Brightness and Contrast right now, but I've also tried Color Correction, HLS, Hue/Saturation...) they're not as good as I'd like.
In several moments, for example, the sky appears, in both layers at the same time. Is there any way I can make the bottom layer correct the sky color into exactly the one in the top layer, so the changes I make in the HLS of that color apply to all footage? That way the color changes would be perfect.
Maybe this is easy to do, but I'm a beginner at After Effects so I don't really know how to do it. Online tutorials don't seem to help much either.
Thanks!

I've been using the re:Match plug-in for similar tasks with success. It costs $90 but there is a demo version you can try out:
http://www.revisionfx.com/products/rematch/
and also a tutorial from Andrew Devin:
http://library.creativecow.net/devis_andrew/AE_RE-Match/1
You can also match footage in Speedgrade, but I haven't tried that feature yet.

Applying color corrections to the original video clips?

How do I apply the same colour corrections I have made to video clips in PremierPro CS5.5, to the original video clips? Is there a way to save the clips from PremierPro to apply the same changes to the original avchd clips?

You would have to export with the correction applied.
These become "Intermediates"

Can't apply color presets to multiple clips in timeline.

When I try to apply a color preset to one selected clip in the timeline, color board lets me do that but when I select two or more clips CB disappears. The manual says I should be able to do this so I wonder if I have missed something simple, or is this a bug? Sorry if it's been covered already but a search didn't bring anything relevant up. Thanks in advance.

Copy the corrected clip, then select the others and press:
Alt + Cmd + V
Job done!

How do you apply color fx to all clips in timeline?

and also how can you fast scroll along the timeline? when i use the mouse ball it doesnt scrub left or right past what is in view to get to end or beginning of timeline?

To answer the question in the header, its too bad there is no "apply to all" button in the ColorFX controls. There may not be a way to do it, but try to select all the clips on the timeline (quickie group or simply select all in either the shots bin or use a select first clip / shift_click on the last clip in the timeline and then double click on the saved FX tree in the selection menu. Might not work. If there are no other corrections in the timeline yet, you could save the COLORFX tree as a grade and apply that to all clips in the normal fashion.
As far as scrolling/scrubbing in the timeline, a) you are operating a "three-button" mouse, right? and b) combinations of the buttons, dragging, etc., is the way to expand/contract, scrub and scroll through the timeline. Its covered in the book. It has become a muscle memory for me, so miming the action here at my word processor, I'm thinking a right button drag expands and contracts the timeline and its a middle button drag that scrolls the timeline, while its a left button click that scrubs the content in pseudo playback. Sitting here thinking about it, I don't recall the timeline updates the way FCP does to go beyond the user interface viewer... it hasn't been a show stopper for me.

Work Flow with FCP and color correction

I am looking for a decent workflow between FCP and motion when I need to apply color correction to the clips.
I have a goup of clips in FCP that I would like to send to motion, animate them and send them back to FCP. Problem is I want to use FCP for the color correction- nicer than motion's. The, all bad options I have come up with are:
1. color correct in FCP and then send to Motion- will not work because filters are not applied in send.
2. Export the clips as one QT self containned movie- I lose the clip partitioning.
3. Exports individual clips to QT then into Motion- I lose the clip ordering
4. Color correct after I get back into FCP from Motion- clip boundaries are lost making applying color correction harder.
Any ideas?
Rick

I've done this two ways - both variations on the methods you have outlined. First and simplest and one I used last week on a PSP project was to apply the color correction to the Motion clip (.motn file) after it came back from Motion. This is simple and easy, but if you've done titling, you may not want to color correct that.
The second is as you said to render and export a self contained movie, then import it and copy it onto the timeline above the original clip that produced it, thus (at least organizationally) maintaining a connection between them. I then send the quicktime to Motion.
Sorry I cannot think of another better way of doing it...

Color correcting more than one clip at a time

Perhaps I am missing something very elementary here... but here is my situation. I have three camera angles, each of the same concert. They are synced and ready to go, each on a separate track. Each needs color correction. I have found the color correction for each that I want. Before I slice up my clips I can very easily color correct each line separately, as the color correction applies to the whole clip. However, this takes about an hour to render because it is so much material. But since I am slicing up each track anyway to form a composite track, wouldn't it make more sense for me to slice up each track as I see fit, delete the unwanted footage, and then color correct each line before I drag them all into one composite track? That way, the color correction would just be applied to the clips that I am using, presumably taking about 1/3 the time to render. Know what I mean? So here is the question: can I select all of the clips on one line and THEN color correct just those? Or do I have to select each little clip and type in the boatload of numbers into the numeric color correction. Or is there another way all together. (Like, is there a way to SAVE the color correction values that I want and call them like "camera one" "camera two" etc... and then just apply those settings to the clips I want?)
With my sound editing program I have presets for this concert. I am able to take each piece, open it up and apply the same equalization, amplification, reverb, etc. that I did for all of the others, thus making them all sound the same. I'm sure FCE has this option for video, doesn't it?
I have 10 more pieces to do and by far this was the most time consuming part of the job. So any help would be most appreciated!
Much thanks!

Apply the color correction to one clip and adjust as needed. Copy the clip. Select all other clips that you want to apply the filter with those settings to. Right-click on one and select Paste Attributes/Filters.

How do I apply multiple secondary color corrections?

how do I apply more than one secondary color corrections to one clip?
I know there are upto 7 tabs in the secondaries room, but when i do more than one, the change only applies in the tab i am currently in. how do i combine 2-3 tabs of effects to a same clip and export?

Perhaps you could provide a bit more specific information about the types of clips you are grading, and the effects you are applying in your secondaries.
The more information you provide, the more information we have to help troubleshoot your problem.

Color Correcting Clips With Dissolves

When you're color correcting clips in a sequence with dissolves, are you color correcting the entire clip or just the part before or after the dissolve?
Do you have to remove other effects to color correct the whole clip?
Sure hope not but there seems to be a color change in playback when I hit the dissolves between clips.
Haven't rendered yet but have made a lot of changes to the color in a long and cutty sequence.

I imagine that the color changes you are seeing are because the sequence is not fully rendered. Do a test by fully rendering just a section.
And yes, you are color correcting the clip including any transitions in and out.
