Color correct 3 camera angles

this might be a stupid question. i know how to open the color correction window and bring up the wfm/vts/rgb parade and then scope/eyeball color correct with 3 way cc. is there some kind of automated way fcp5 in multiclip can match camera angles? i saw an eyedropper. can you sample white and black and match this way? thx in advance

See III-471 of your user manual. This is accessible from the "Help" menu. I think that's as automated as it gets.

MulitCam editing and color correcting each cam

I do a lot of 4 or 5 camera editing of some concerts and I always have to go through each shot and tweak the colors.
This time I'm taking the original clip, color correcting, exporting then using the exported clip in my multiclip editor.
Is there a quicker or better way? Let's say I want to tweak the colors on cam 1 but tweak the colors differently on cam 2, cam 3 and so on. Is there a way in the sequence to quickly add the color correction to one cam at a time? Can you highlight just a certain cam quickly?

Once your edit is locked and collapsed, just set a correction for an angle, copy it, then do a search/find for that angle's name in the sequence.
I run the find using 'from in to out' / 'select all'. Then paste the filter to all at once.
Be advised, the slightest changes in framing, lighting, etc can make a difference between shots (from the same angle), so you still might want to go shot by shot and make any necessary adjustments.
That's the quick and dirty way, anyway.
Bottom line IMHO, is each shot needs individual attention.

Multiple color correction

I am finishing a multicamera training video. One of the cameras was too reddish. The project is already cut and I would like to color correct this camera. Is there a way to do this once is all in it place and positively change its look without having to go through each edit?
Thanks

The best you can do is CC one clip then copy it. Select all the other clips from that camera and PASTE ATTRIBUTES > FILTERS. That will apply the CC to all those clips.
EDIT
That will copy any other filters as well so if you just want the CC, open that clip in the viewer, then select all the clips you want in the timeline, then drag only the CC effect from the EFFECT tab of the open shot in the viewer.

Color Correcting Multiclip

I have alread compiled my multiclip and I am wanting to color correct one camera angle to match the other two.
I've read you are supposed to do this before you edit the multi clip but alas I didn't do that.
So is there an easy way to correct this one angle? If I correct the first instance of that clip in the timeline it just does it to that first clip and not all of the remaining clips.
Any thoughts?

Alright, thanks again for taking the time to help me out.
So I made a quick screen recording for you to look at instead of a screen shot. Here it is.

How to color correct an entire nested sequence?

Hi Everyone,
So I'm attempting to color correct a camera at a time (multiple clips from the same source clip) which in recent projects I did individually. Is there a way to select an entire string of clips and color correct them and apply all at once in a nested sequence or am I doomed to color each individual clip in the nested sequence with no selection and paste options? Thanks in advance guys.

in sony vegas it would be a matter of placing all the same angle shots on one video track, then using the track fx to have one effect be applied to all the clips on that track. similar to how its done with audio in a daw. premiere doesn't have that feature and tries to make up for it with adjustment layers and nesting but its not the same. adjustment layer is easy unless the footage is mixed on the timeline, then you would have to try nesting footage on a separate track. nesting makes it messy to go back and edit, unlike the track based fx in sony vegas, so might do this as one of the last steps of the project.

Camera Raw 5.5 VS Adobe Lightroom (color correction)

Hi, does somebody know if discarding the advantage of making layers of Photoshop, is the Adobe Lightroom color correction controls superiors to the CameraRaw PS Interface correction controls ??? I mean for color correction purposes is Adobe Lightroom better tan PS's camera raw interface ???? because for me both controls seem to be pretty much the same thing, does anyone know something about it ??
Thank you in advance !

Both Camera Raw (most recent version) and Lightroom (most recent version) share the EXACT same processing pipeline...however, there are subtle differences in usability. For example, ACR 5.6 has a Point Curves Editor...Lightroom doesn't. Lightroom has a powerful capability to control output size and resolution which Camera Raw doesn't have...
Bottom line is they are two horses of a different color but each is capable of performing the same tricks...so use whichever app allows you o accomplish what you need to do in the shortest and easiest process...

APERTURE3 changing all my in camera color corrections while importing?

hey everyone finally made the switch to aperture 3, not sure what im doing wrong but whenever i import the pictures from my PANASONIC GF1 or CANON 50D all the in camera color corrections (for example white balance or conversion to black and white ) those settings are dumped and the original image (raw file) is imported into the program.
is this right? is there a setting to where i can turn this off? alot of times i like working in my camera to get the image how i want it to look. sorry if this is a very noob question thanks for any help

I use RAW+Jpg in different cameras and I import Both Raw as Master, leaving the originals on an external HD, that is referenced system.
I am missing something ?? For instance if I take a BW with my EP2 I get a RAW colored and a BW jpeg into Aperture only if I import separate masters.
If you use your normal 'Both RAW as Master' option, can you Control+Click (right-click)and use the set JPEG to Master option to switch to the Black & White version displayed?
Probably I am only wasting time shoting BW in camera because you can do it later from RAW with aperture...
If the JPEG captured what you wanted to see and will work for your purpose, then it is not a waste of time - IMHO.
I shoot RAW+JPEG also and import 'Both JPEG as Master' because most of the time the JPEG works for what I want.

They seem the same because they are the same thing. Lightroom is basically an interface built around the camera raw processing core so you will get exactly the same results. The only thing really that you can do in Camera RAW that you can't in Lightroom is point curves (the interface simply doesn't expose them at the moment), which are almost never needed in raw conversion, except if you do special effects. I almost never use Photoshop anymore as Lightroom basically does all I need.
P.S. the latest version of camera RAW is 5.6! Lightroom is at 2.6. The last number corresponds not by accident.

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.

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

Suzanne,
Try
converting your images to the sRGB color space before processing and/or saving them for web display. ALWAYS. Remember to use CONVERT to profile not
assign

Color correct after multi cam edit

Hi Y'all,
I've just completed my mulit cam edit from a 2 cam shoot. I now want to drop a color corrector filter
on just camera 1. Is there a way to drop the filter onto one clip and have it apply to the rest of the clips
or do I have to highlight each clip from camera 1 and then paste attributes?
THANKS!

The only way I could think of would be to duplicate the full clip on the finder level, color correct the entire clip and export it with current settings and then reconnect all the clips from that reel to the exported qt. Multiclips can get a little quirky so I'd probably collapse all my multiclipls first. If you moved your original clip at the finder level (with fcp closed) and replace it in it's original location with the new file and rename the new file to match the old name exactly, fcp should reconnect automatically.
Maybe there's a faster way to do this. Generally I move each angle to it's own video track and then use the t key to select everything in that track and apply the correction.

Do I color correct angles before making multiclip?

Hi guys,
I have two individual angles I'm going to sync and make a multiclip out of. One of my clips is horribly bright and requires some serious fixing in Color.
Do I color correct or add filters to the individual angles BEFORE making the two angles into one multiclip? Or is there some way to color correct the entire angle after making it into a multiclip?
--also, any reason why my canvas when changing angles in a multiclip would show it in 4:3 while the actual video is 16:9 in both the viewer and timeline?
Thanks

You could color correct before if you like, if your angle is rock solid and the changes will be consistent throughout. I don't do it that way but have been tempted.
If you do it after finishing the multiclip edit then you will need to copy one color corrected clip and then paste attributes to the other appropriate clips.
As a rule I color correct when my edit is finished.

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.

Color correction in multicam source sequence

Hi everybody, this is really making me crazy.
I've created a multicam source sequence from three clips in the bin (3 camera angles).
I imported the newly created multicam source sequence in a new sequence and I began cutting it.
It's a 40 minutes theatre piece.
When I was at 20 minutes I realized that one camera has a slightly off white balance.
How do I make the color correction to only one camera angle in a multicam source sequence ?
If I open the multicam source sequence in the Source Monitor I can't drag any effect.
Thanks for your help.
JC

KGCW,
you da man!
That's what I nedded to know...
Thanks!

Color correcting in Color or Final Cut after cutting footage?

Hello all,
I'm about to begin cutting a multi-cam sequence in final cut pro with 2-3 camera angles. Is there a way to color correct in either Color or Final Cut Pro, all of the video used in a specific multi-cam angle?
In other words, if I'm cutting between Cam A and Cam B and finish my cutting, can I then go back and color correct all of the Cam A shots without having to manually click on every shot that used Cam A?
Thanks so much

A dedicated color correction app is on its way, maybe CS6. However, we find using the fast color corrector and the three way color corrector in PP quite effective for the basic primary/secondary color correction we do. Gotta watch your scopes though (waveform/vectorscope at the very least). Creative Cow has some tutorials on basic color correction. Here's one, but you'll have to dig around for the others by Andrew Devis. Again, don't do any color correction without checking your scopes.
