Batch color correct?

I have applied color correction filter to a timeline of clips (55). Now I want to go in and adjust the whites on all of them slightly. Is there a way to batch color adjust them?

First, load up an already existing CC filter into your viewer.
Then use the track tool to select all of the video clips in your sequence, then press Command Option V to Remove Attributes. Use that function to remove any existing filters. Make any necessary adjustments to your CC filter in the viewer, then with all of the clips still selected in your sequence, drag the modified filter down from the viewer.

Batch Color Correction Change

What is the best method for changing a whole roll of photos that need color correction? I have iPhoto 6 and Photoshop CS. Would there be a way to make those changes in Photoshop, and than reimport those changes back into iPhoto to replace the noncorrected photos? Im not very effcient at photoshop so step by step would help the best. Or other suggestons or applications that will do the trick quickly and easily are welcome too...
Thanks In Advance,
Hintzer

Hintzer:
You can batch change 4 photos at a time in iPhoto with PSC2 and not have to reimport. I can't help you with batch processing with PSC2 as I've never done it. But if you work out a workflow you can open 4 photos at a time using PS as the preferred editor in iPhoto.
Outside of iPhoto you could do as many as you'd want with PS. If you do batch correct the original files in iPhoto's Originals sub folders and then replace them with the corrected version you'll have to do a library rebuild and rebuild the thumbnails in order to see the changes reflected in the thumbnails. The changes will show in the full sized image in iPhoto without the rebuild.
What color corrections are you finding you need to do?

Batch Color Correction and Batch Levels oddities...help!

So I have an action that I've been using for the past couple years (?) now that involves opening an image, applying an auto color and auto levels, saving and closing. This has been working for me since probably a couple years ago when I made the action. Yesterday, I was working on a scanning project where I have groups of images in separate folders. I ran the action on the first 2 folders which went fine. When I got to the 3rd folder all the way up to the last one, PS just loads all the images, does the levels and color then fails to save/close them when done. On one of my folders, it gets through a few of them when it drops the ball and just opens all of them. I'm not sure what's going on as there's no real explanation as to why this is happening...especially when I've been using this action (and I even made a new action with still no luck). This is becoming a huge headache. Any feedback/help would be greatly appreciated...especially when last week I had about 300 images I had to work with and PS decided to pull this move on me after doing the first 30 of them fine...which is when I first noticed this happening.
To further add, I set my action to show everything step by step and it seems to happen with select images (in some cases, these select images are entirely what is in the folder). With the select images, it is not doing the actions entirely in order. Typically it does it in this manner:
1-Levels
2-Levels
3-Save
4-Close
What I'm now experiencing is this:
2-Levels
1-Levels
(Skips 3 and 4 since it is starting at 2 and working upward). Hopefully you understand what I'm talking about!

They're all JPEG, all coming from the same source (Images coming off of a Kodak PS410 scanner). I've also checked to see if they're 'read only' but they aren't. Odd thing is, I've taken this same set of photos to another computer and ran the same action and everything ran fine. As far as memory goes, I don't think that should be an issue as I'm set up with 16gb of RAM. And as far as what I was recently working on, these folders had probably 40 images max in them.
I'll be running another batch on another set of images (coming from a different source) today and see what happens, if anything.

Color correction in batch resizing.

Anyone know good method for batch resizing that doesn't mess up color correction? I have a huge textile swatch library that I would like to batch to a resize, but when I batch resize the fabric textures compress or expand creating a tonal shift. Any good work arounds?

Remove Color Cast is relative simple:
Add the Fast Color Corrector.
Sample an area with the eyedropper from the White Balance' while holding ctrl key down that is supposed to be white.

Batch Exporting Color Corrected Clips, QT issues

Hello,
I work for a small ad company with a couple guys on the road shooting video, a video editor(me) and a few graphic designers. For company workflow reasons I take video footage from guys on the road and export to Quicktime movies(5-50 per client, 5-10 sec. apiece) and give to graphic designers, they then use After Effects and Motion to lay graphics on and lay out vid for ad.
1. I generally capture the whole tape.
2. I select Ins/Outs from that tape and make (lets say) 50 clips in timeline.
3. I make all clips independant and rename in order 1-50
4. (THIS IS WHERE PROBLEM STEMS) I color correct all clips using 3 wheel color corrector
5. I pull all 50 clips (numbered, color corrected) into a client bin
6. Right Clip bin, Batch export.
7. Check Use In/ Out , Make Self Contained, Prefix .Mov, Quicktime movie using MPEG 4compressor, best quality, and set destination.
8. Hit Export
The result is a Quicktime Movie that has sound but is frozen on first frame of video.
Normally this process works perfect and I have no issues with QT. Step 4 is something that I would like to incorporate but everytime I try I get the issues with Quicktime.
Thanks ahead of time for help, hope I gave someone enough to go off of.
I.V.

If you drag the clips from the timeline to a bin and select them all and choose batch export and set the option to export in to out, it should work. Not sure about the naming option, but I suspect it'll work. Do a test first.

Is there a way to batch process color corrected RAW files to tif files?

I got over 160 color corrected RAW files from my photographer when I thought I was getting TIf or PSD files. I need to put them into an indesign doc to send out for printing. Is there a way to convert all of these in one fell swoop without messing up the work that has already been done? I didn't allow in my timing to save each one individually since i didn't know I was going to need ot do this. I am really unfamiliar with batch processing, so no idea how to best go about this, or if I even can. Please help. I am working in Photoshop CS6. version 13.06 x 64

An easy way is to open Bridge, select the images then click on Tools/Image processor. You can then save as jpg, psd, or tiff.
Hope this helps.

Batch processing web pages from jpgs made from color corrected Camera Raw files

I processed and color corrected a set of photos shot in camera raw, then saved as tiffs. Then I set Photoshop to Batch process them into a web slide show. The images turned out looking like the raw files before processing....kind of desaturated, since they were shot on a grey day. So then i re-saved the raw files as jpgs and hypersaturated them to see if that would produce better results, but it did not. They looked almost as grey as the original raw files. I usually add saturation to files that will end up on the web, because ImageReady always seems to desaturate color.
I'm running Mac OS4.1 and CS2.
Thanks, Suzanne

Color correction batch process

I have a set of about 2400 images taken by a Nikon D700 from a stationary position of a stationary subject over the course of a few days with different lighting and color conditions. I need all of the images to match so that I can load them into a program to create a 3-D model of the object (essentially by stacking the images). So far all attempts to adjust the color have failed to produce a uniform set. Any suggestions for how I can go about accomplishing this task?

I probably should have given a little more information about what I'm trying to do here. The images were taken in RAW format. The change in lighting conditions is not only due to the changing sunlight, although that plays a role. The real problem is that there were different light sources throughout the procedure with different spectra so the color profiles of each image (or more accurately of blocks of pictures within the set) are different. I've tried setting the white balance to the same level for each image, running batch auto-tone, auto-color, and color match to a reference image, but there are still noticeable changes between blocks of images in the set. I think the problem is that the auto-tone and auto-level processes normalize each image to itself but don't take the whole set into account. When using color match to a reference image the results are a little better but different parts of the subject of the image seem to reflect different kinds of light in different ways so even if I use a selection from one part of the image to be adjusted the rest of the image still looks different between blocks of images.
After looking into some of the theory behind what needs to be done here it seems that I need to find reference colors that are present in each image but that are as statistically independent from each other as possible. Then, I need to pick a reference image and adjust the levels of the reference colors in the entire image set to match those in the reference image.
I'm not sure if there is a function in photoshop that accomplishes that type of computation, or if there's another approach to color correction, but if anyone knows anything about this type of work any guidance would be much appreciated.

How to batch process (color correct) multiple MXF files?

Newb here with a question I cannot find an answer for. I'm very new to CS5.5 and am very frustrated with something that should be a simple procedure, at least it was with my last NLE.
I am shooting amateur hockey games using a Canon XF100. Typically I shoot at 720 60p and with all the starts and stops of the game there may be 30-40 MFX files for a game. I'm having no problems importing into CS5.5, the files all show up on the timeline.
I want (need) to be able to color correct ALL these files at once using the fast color corrector and/or the 3 way color balance. For the life of me I cannot seem to do this and I cannot find any answers despite many hours of searches.
Last night I did (after much mucking around) manage to 'nest' the files and do the color correction but when I went to export to Media Encoder (to render as MP4 file) I kept getting error messages and was unable to proceed. This happened 6 times, the encoding would start and then after about 20 minutes, and some progress, it would give me an error message.
Can someone please, pretty please!, explain a simpler way to do this? I feel like I am missing a very obvious step and I'm probably just phrasing the question incorrectly.
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, you're doing it exactly in the right way. I just nested a sequence and applied the Fast Color Corrector to the nest and it exported beautifully. Could you try nesting and color correcting a short sequence with clips other than the MXF files generated by the Canon XF100 using the same methodology? I'm trying to see if it's your footage is the issue or something else.

Color correction applied to multiple clips

When using FCPX, is there a way to apply a color adjustments to all the fragments of the same clip? Or is there a way to batch edit clips without actually having to do all your color correction before editing?

Hi,
google Adjustment Layer for fcpx and you'll probably find a free one, or simply make one yourself if you have motion by creating a title effect, but remove the text item. Put in the correct folder for it to show up in the Title effects broswer and then simply add it to the timeline above all the other clips. Add colour correction or any other effect you want to it. it will effect everything under it.

Color correction with third party options

I have been shopping and researching for a third party plugin for FCPX for color correction/grading.
Specifically, I have been looking at options like HyColor Pro and Hawaiki AutoGrade ... I asume, these options are utilizing the built in color controls found in FCP and offer a different UI context for manipulation.
Since I currently am not using such an option, If I use a third party option, and want to sync the look to other clips, is this possible with the "Match Color" feature.

Color correction fails raw conversion

Hello; any help would be appreciated becasue I am not very photoshop savy. I edit my raw files create an action run the batch and the color correction fails to hold. ahah please help. Thanks!

The image you see in iPhoto is not the rendered RAW file it is the jpg preview file embedded in the RAW file you see on the back of the camera (iPhoto does not render RAW files). This is the same as the initial image you see for a moment in LR when you import the file, until LR renders the RAW file. LR doesn't make any "changes" to the file, but imports it and renders it acording to any settings you may have made in LR. The colour settings will be found in the calibration box in the develop mode and there may be different settings availble according to the camera you are using.
See number 6 in the top ten gotchas here. .
As you have made a conversion to your camera none of the existing camera calibrations will apply and you will need to use Adobes DNG editor to create a new one

Color Finesse vs Colorista 2 Premiere vs After Effects for color correction

Hi,
I want to get in to color correcting of my Canon XF305 footage that is converted to the Blackmagic 10 bits lossless codec.
I have two Eizo calibrated monitors etc , but my only doubt is the choice of the program (to do it in Premiere-pro or After Effects) and with Color Finesse or with Colorista 2.
So if there are people with color correction experience please share it here.
Thanks! David

When shooternz said 'gain' I presume he means "what was the benefit". If your original footage can be opened in PP, converting it isn't usually necessary unless you find the scrub performance is really hampered by the camera's codec - and that's more of an issue for line editing rather than color correction as you won't be playing it back and forth very much. PP will edit in 32-bit color space no matter what the footage is, so you don't need to force the ingested material into a higher bit depth.
We get the 'real time' question asked a lot. PP is a non-linear editor so realtime playback and scrubbing are essential, but the exact content of each frame isn't all that important. AE works on individual frames so it's not designed to play back in real time - it has to compose all your effects onto every single frame before it can show you the results, and in every frame it processes every pixel. The realtime monitors in PP don't do that - they show something that looks visually the same but only some of the frames are actually processed, then the rest are interpolated.
AE has some extremely powerful CC tools, but realistically it's intended for use on small clips - if you look at grading workflows in studios their typical AE timelines might only be 20 seconds max, and often only a couple of seconds. It can work with longer clips but it gets painful. The big advantage in AE is the ability to layer up lots of effects with masks, so for example you can color-correct a video clip so it exactly matches another clip or a still image, fine-tuning one coffee cup in the background of a scene or relighting in post by masking up zones of color and exposure adjustment.
PP on the other hand is great for long timelines and cutting together clips into a program - that's what it's designed for - but it works on clips so correcting at a frame-by-frame level is correspondingly horrible. I'd say the 3-way CC in PP is perfectly fine for prosumer and indie work; if you know what you're doing it's possible to replicate any of the motion picture styles people are used to seeing, it's simply that it doesn't have a library of presets and you don't get the same level of spatial controls (there's no masked adjustment layer concept in PP like there is in AE). As shooternz says some of the third-party plugins for PP give you those power tools.
New in CS6, Speedgrade provides a standalone program with more powerful features, though the workflow at the moment isn't all that seamless (SG wants frame images, as do most pro grading applications, so there's a gnarly export-import thing to go through that makes round-tripping a one way street).
A professional colorist will use a standalone grading program for several reasons, but they're not all down to pure 'quality';
pro colorists tend to use special hardware desks with physical versions of the three color wheels, and they only work with certain software.
if you're matching the 'look' of an entire motion picture, being able to store, share and batch process with preset styles and look-up tables (LUTs) is important - MB Looks and the Colorista plugin bundled with AE both have libraries of presets, the native fast and 3-way CC tools in PP don't.
On a big project the grading is done by someone other than the editor, so they don't generally need (or want) access to the master timeline - they'll get an exported mezzanine format from edit (an image sequence or uncompressed video track) so don't care about all the other stuff PP or AE can do.
If your only job is grading then a standalone package is the way to go. If it's one of an army of things you do, from shooting and editing to burning the DVDs and writing the blog, I'd say to stick with the inbuilt tools in PP/AE, have a go in Speedgrade if you have CS6 and some time to teach yourself, but the expense of a standalone grading tool would only be worthwhile if you have a few months spare to learn the skills. There's a reason the best colorists earn top dollar, it's 50% art, 50% science and 100% dedication.

My HD TV as NTSC Monitor for secondary color correction

Can I use my new Panasonic HD TV model TH-42PX80U as a NTSC monitor for secondary color correction using both Final Cut Pro out of a Macbook Pro intel? What cable I can use to conect via HDMI? Will the color acuracy will be similar to that of a NTSC color correction monitor? will my TV do a decent job for NTSC? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
I am not sure I have this HDMI cable to be use in my macbook pro does it comes with it?

Can I use my new Panasonic HD TV model TH-42PX80U as a NTSC monitor for secondary color correction using both Final Cut Pro out of a Macbook Pro intel?
Yes, but I would only trust it if you are going to be making DVDs, and ONLY if you properly set it up. I would not rely on it for broadcast color correction. The reason broadcast monitors exist is to have a standard...HDTVs don't have a standard. Go to best buy and look at all of them....none of them match. BUT, as a nice simple solution for DVD, I'd use it.
But the only way you are going to get a signal to it is with the Matrox MXO. It will do component to the monitor, or you can get a DVI to HDMI adapter...if you do that the MXO software will allow you to set the monitor up to color bars. That option is only available from of the DVI out of the box.
Will the color acuracy will be similar to that of a NTSC color correction monitor?
No...it would be similar to color correcting NTSC on your home television...because that it what it is.
will my TV do a decent job for NTSC?
I doubt it. Taking an SD image and blowing it up huge on this HD TV...scaled up. I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't use it for SD color correction.
I am not sure I have this HDMI cable to be use in my macbook pro does it comes with it?
You have a DVI port on your MacBook Pro. And they make DVI to HDMI cable adapters I'm sure.

Looking for a particular color correction tutorial

I am looking for an online tutorial on how to do color correction if the video one is working with has color bars. This happens on a lot of analog videotapes that come to me. I know what my scopes are suppposed to look like when analyzing color bars, but I need something that shows me how to get from A to B.
If I Google some varient of "color correction video color bars," all I get is information on calibrating monitors.
I am using Premiere CS5.5
Thanks in adavnce for any response!
