Choppy clip with color correction filter

I'm working on a video that has multiple clips. The clips that are choppy have a Color Corrector filter on them. The choppy clips stay that way even after exporting, but the rest of the file is fine. All video came from Canon Vixia HF200. I'm thinking I have a memory issue, but I'm hoping it's a user error issue. I'm on a MacBook Pro 2 GHz Intel Core, 2GB RAM. I'm using a Lacie 1TB external drive for the video. Final Cut Express 4.
Any help is appreciated!

  • Color correction filter and keyframes

    After lots of projects in FCE, I should know this!
    I have a clip with a color correction filter and keyframes at either end of the clip.
    Question: If I break the clip in two, am I correct that the color correction filter and keyframes are no longer shared by the two clips? Changes made to one clip's keyframes no longer effect the other clip's color correction settings?

    That's correct.

  • Color correction filter

    I've been trying to learn the color correction filter. I used the manual, and read how to apply filters and the chapter on color correction. So I select my clip in the sequence, park the playhead where I want to monitor, open the scopes, drag the filter from the browser. When I use the sliders or controls, nothing happens! I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

    First of all Catrina did you drag the color correction 3 Way filter from the browser window onto the clip (sitting on the timeline) that you want to be affected?
    If so you should be able to control your changes in the viewer window and see the results of your colour grading on tha canvas in real time.

    Thank you

    that indicates that you have enabled the *Match Hue* function ... click the round reset button at far right of the Match Hue controls (below the Mids wheel) and it should revert to normal

  • Premiere pro cc having trouble with color corrected clips

    I've been working on a project for a few days and today when I opened premiere pro it gave me a warning about what software it had been running with and how it was no longer available. I'm sorry I've already forgotten the name of the software, but I know I didn't remove anything from my laptop. When I began watching the playback I noticed that color corrected clips were very jumpy and didn't play smoothly, but the ones that had not been color corrected were fine.  There were also two lines at the top of my timeline, a red one over all the jumpy clips and a yellow one over the clips that played through completely. This is my first time using premiere pro so I'm not sure what it means or how I could fix it.  It may be worth noting that my laptop isn't bad but I don't think it's necessarily the best for editing.  Is it possible that memory space or hardware within the laptop are the issue? Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

    Just me today I guess.
    The solution to this problem is simple.  Download and install the latest Adobe PPro CS3 3.2.0 patch.  50 Mb download, 20 second install time.  Everything works great now!

  • Clip degradation with color correction effects added

    Hello,
    I've had this issue lately where I can't push any of my clips past 2 or 3% increase on any color correction effect without huge amounts of color noise, artifacts and other degredation.  Adding a simple HSL adustment and bumping up the saturation to 10 makes my image look like an 8-bit picture.  I attached two examples, one at 4% and the other at 40%.  You can see the color noise in the highlights and shadows and the overall noise in the image.
    I opened the same clip in Media Composer 7 and was able to push the saturation to 100 without any noise.  It's almost like PP is using some low bit color space or something.  Any ideas on how to fix this or is it a bug in the program?
    at 4%-
    at 30%-

    Thanks Jim, here is a download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqd71rt0kw9w4jo/DSC_6373.MOV
    I've noticed it only happens when using the Color Balance HLS effect.  If I use a Three-Way Color Corrector to adjust saturation, I get no noticeable noise.  So that is my work around.  But I'm curious if you get the same results.

  • I need help with color correction (im not sure if what i want its called color correction but i bring examples)

    ok thanks for reading me, im an amateur guy who wants to edit his videos in order to have that look like tv show or cinematic, i dont want just the 2 seconds curves tutorial to improve videos, y want something more like these videos

    A-Trak & Tommy Trash’s Tuna Melt | The Kid Should See This  (1:32) (and also all the video but more like what i want in 1:32)
    i dont know how to say it but theres a way to make blur and lights way better and i see it in a lot of videos, i can just think of this examples for now but maybe you get it, sorry for my english, hope you can help me

    I would like to direct you to THIS video:
    Behind the Scenes: A-Trak & Tommy Trash - Tuna Melt on Vimeo
    Look at how many people are involved in the shoot.  Look at all the professionals from various disciplines.  Look at all the rehearsal.  Look at all the painstaking attention to detail.  Look at all the professional equipment they used.
    Yes, I looked at the shot at 1:32 in the video they made.  They used a Steadicam to stabilize the camera going up the stairs.  They used gels on the window to reduce the light intensity and help correct the color temperature.  The interior spaces of the upstairs and downstairs have also been lit to avoid irising problems.  They didn't rely on mere chance.
    Did you also notice the subtle cuts at 00:38 and 1:54?   That video was not shot in one take, and that's a fact.  And before they even got to the step of color grading, they KNEW they had good video to work with because they had the professional experience to attain it.

    Yes there are two bugs, I found the other one first but figured if you fixed the result the other would be obvious.  This is homework so only a hint:
    look at what happens (and does not happen) to pixel. 
    the first bug was that i had to use the 'result[][]' array instead of the 'image[][]' array in my last loop, right?
    the 2nd bug I really can't find :s been lookin at it for almost an hour now and trying new stuff but nothing works, 
    first i thought i had to put this line " result[x][y] = min(max(int((factor2 * pixel) + bias2), 0), 255);"  inside the for loop above but that didn't fix my problem,
    maybe the problem is in my 'imageX' and 'imageY' variable, i don't know? any more tips?
    I'm sorry for being such a newb but programming isn't my strongest quality.

    Just one more advice:
    Look at the format of the "image" array. The way how to use the values from this array depends on the "image depth" parameter. 
    In your case, because the image is 8bit, you need to use the "colors" array containing the real RGB value.
    Look at the Help for the "Read BMP File VI", you should be able to properly handle your pixels from there.
     thanks for pointing that out for me, so I connect the 'totalpix' array with the 'colors' array from the image data instead of the 'image' array, that's correct right?

  • How to handle multiple image montage with color corrections

    I am using Photoshop CS5 and am creating a photo montage poster with about 30 images on it.  The photos are not stellar and I need to change levels, exposure, saturation etc to each image.  I was creating groups from layers for each image then dropping it onto the montage file, but I see that filters effect every layer below.  I have a gradient layer as my background and I don't want it affected nor do I want every layer below affected.  I created smart layers from each image, that works, but it really slows the system down.  What is the smartest and most efficient way to handle this?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    use the clipping mask
    so you make the adjustment layer, then click layer > create clipping mask
    this essentially ties that adjustment to the layer below

  • Color Correction with in Final Cut Pro 6

    Hi All,
    I have a showreel of my work, and some of the clips have sections that are darker than I would like them to be, and I would like to correct the color issues. Is it possible to only correct 3 seconds of over dark video, and not have the entire 2 hours thus over bright? I have tried with key frames, and maybe I am not doing the right way.
    I put a keyframe on the 1st frame of the clip in question, then on the last frame of the correct section of the clip, then 1 frame later another keyframe, this is now on the incorrect color clip, then 2 more keyframes, last frame of incorrect color, then on the 1st frame of correct video.
    Is this ok?
    Justine

    A better way is to blade (or add edit) at the beginning and end of the section that needs the correction and just apply the color correct filter to that section. 

  • Auto-select clip under playhead? (for color correction)

    Hi all
    Another newbie question concerning color correction in FCS2.
    When moving from clip to clip in the timeline, the viewer (which contains the 3-way color correction filter) doesn't refresh until I remember to double-click on the current clip to select it. In other words, if I change a filter on one clip, then move in the timeline to the next clip, the viewer still contains the previous clip's filter, and if I forget, I'll start fiddling with it, thinking I'm now looking at the current clip.
    Still with me?
    So, my question is, is there an "auto-select" feature whereby, as I move my playhead along the timeline, clips on a selected track (eg V1) will automatically get selected and loaded into the viewer?
    I know there is an auto-select feature for tracks, which I've enabled for my video track, but it doesn't seem to be meant for what I want.
    Thanks!
    Matt

    If you set the SYNC to OPEN, what is being played in the time line (and displayed in the Canvas view) will also be displayed in the Viewer.
    Just a point of clarification - the Viewer doesn't hold the CC filter, it will only display the filters that have already been applied to currently displayed clip. If the next clip displayed in the viewer has not had the 3way CC applied, the 3way CC won't display as part of the filters on that clip.
    Good luck,

  • 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. 

  • Premier Pro CS4 color correct several clips at once on timeline

    Is it possible to color correct (with the same settings) several clips at once on the timeline.  So far, I am able to cc only one clip at a time, which is a fairly tedious process, and the camera settings were the same for many of the clips.  I'm wondering if there is a way to select a group of clips in the timeline and apply the same settings to that group.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, this is my first experience with color correction.  I'm using the fast color corrector, so would you mind giving me a little more scoop (step by step) on how I copy/paste the attributes onto the clips on the timeline.
    Thanks!

  • Color Correction - In Premiere CS5 or After Effects CS5?????

    Hello
    I started this question in Premiere, but am now thinking that perhaps I should take advantage of the additional color correction tools in CS5 After Effects.....
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/777459?tstart=0
    If any one is interested in helping me do this in AE CS5, here is a copy and paste of the question from the above link:
    I have two clips that I need to color correct.  Please see attached.   I want to brighten up the clip on the BOTTOM to more match the clip on  the TOP
    The cinematographer has given me these instructions:
    "  Specially the third clip with the two foxes ) shots are dark compared  to the second  time the foxes are shown. You will have to apply a color  correction  filter on them and work with the midtone and the light  sliders so you  can make it a bit brighter.  Also you will probably need  to bring the  balcks down a bit once you pushed the midtones, you will  have to see  what it looks like once you are correcting."
    I haven't done much color correcting, but the above seems pretty basic.  So any suggestions you have will be appreciated.

    To make those changes all you really need to do is adjust the levels... so apply a "levels" effect and adjust accordingly... in either Premiere or After Effects... it works the same in both.
