Color Correcting an Already-Edited Multiclip

So, I'm not that bright. I edited a 2 hour multiclip only to realize at the end that I wanted to do some color correcting on one of the angles to match the other two. Is there a way for me to color correct an entire angle all at once without having to re-edit the multiclip or copy and paste the filter onto each clip in the multiclip? Thanks.

Oh yeah ! paste attributes etc etc, it's brilliant, digital editing isn't it!
I was not quite certain you wanted the same cc for the whole 2 hour clip!
Haven't you got a lot of coninuity light problems ?
Pity I was hoping to find out if the reconnection worked. It should do if you had time code and the other meta data is the same, but maybe the cc instructions would interfere!
Best wishes

  • 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 correction slows down editing

    In CS 5.5 I  adjusted the curves for color correction for the first time and then renedered the 12min video for 1hour 20min. I now see a couple of minor clip edits I want to make.  However, Premiere is acting very slow and choppy.  Is the color correcting I did slowing the edit process down?

    Truthfully, what I would recommend is to turn off all CC,
    edit, nail your timings... then color correct.
    I always have considered and treated CC as a 'final touch'
    that can't really be done full justice until the cut itself is solid.
    But...
    If you have clips that really need to be CC'ed as you are editing,
    you should Preview Render those clips for smooth playback
    in the Timeline as you continue to edit.

  • Color correction novice back with a problem/question.

    Hi,
    I have been working on color correction for an edit of a live 2 camera shoot concert. Edits are almost all final. I dug into correcting color between the 2 cameras & after some practice got good results.
    Tho, I noticed that corrections looked slightly different after rendering them, and again slightly different after exporting to full uncompressed quicktime video.
    Saturation levels shifted (less), & some shots showed slightly different color balance. This is a unique shoot because the stage was fully lit in red light & red can be one of the most difficult colors in video (in my experience).
    So I eventually started that vicious cycle of correcting not by eye but by anticipating what was needed to get a desired result after rendering & exporting... each time it was lengthy renders & exports before seeing the results.
    So I had several versions of the project saved w/ different renderings, etc. All of this is stored on a 250 gig 2nd internal drive which I bought & installed just for editing. All files & edit lists etc were kept there.
    So I'm trying to look at different versions after having to put the project aside for a couple of weeks, and every version I open shows me a list of render files that it says it can't find. I've just been choosing to re-render.
    (I'm wondering if a routine session of running disk warrior on my drives could have contributed to this?? Thats the only thing I can think of, other than the OSX upgrade to 10.4.4, which also included a quicktime upgrade.)
    I'm new at this so I'm trying to figure out if this disappearance of render files is normal? In one version I chose 'search computer for render files' or something to that effect & I watched it go thru my drives one after another & when it got to the 2nd internal drive (where all the render files should be), it spent about 1/10th the time that it spent searching other drives. It really jumped in & out of that drive really quickly.
    Its not all the render files that are missing, I looked in the render folder & some have older dates, while a section of them are from tonite when I re-rendered. Then more with the older date.
    Anybody have any advice?
    Thanks for your help

  • Color Correcting in Photoshop

    I know everyone has a different method of color correcting their photos. I have a way of doing this, but I was wondering if there was a "standard" way of color correction? Can anyone point me to any online resources or books I can find at the library to do this properly? Thank you.

    In Levels, Opt+clicking while dragging the end points are very useful to set black and white end points in the Histogram.
    In Curves, middle adjustments control gamma/brightness/contrast. A lot of people also correct color in Curves, but I rarely do.
    In the Info pallet, if you can get the black/neutral/white points to display near equal numbers -- 0,0,0 128,128,128, 255,255,255 for example -- most of your color correcting will already be done.
    Selective Color (set to Absolute) is also very useful to learn about to pick a color (like red, for example) and work on skin tone. Selecting Black here (and neutraling the Black numbers is also a major part of color balancing photos.
    Working in 16-bit, Adjustment Layers is also recommended...

  • Color correction workflow

    I like to color correct my clips before I start working on the timeline.  Is there a way to color correct and save the color corrected clip so I don't have to redo color once I lay it on the timeline again?  Or this is not the right way of doing things?

    Generally you don't color correct before you edit, correction being based not on one clip but on the clips around it. If you want to you can open a clip into the timeline from the browser.  Any color correction applied there will be applied to each use of the clip.

  • Using Color 1.5.3 to Color Correct before editing multiclip

    Have a multiclip sequence, from 2 camera shoot that I need to adjust; but when I tried loading multiclip sequence into color, edit and send back to FCP, it didn't recognize the clips.
    What's the best workflow for doing this?
    Is there anyway to correct an edited multiclip.... after editing?

    Hi David,
    The manual is pretty good at explaining what needs to be done to a sequence before sending it to Color. It's always been a bit weird because it's never integrated properly into the whole suite completely.
    To simplify it a little, basically you need to either breakout or consolidate any nests, collapse any Multiclips and flatten any composites. Also make sure that they are all in a single format type like ProRes422. Also check any file/clip names to make sure they don't have any '/' or '&' etc.
    That way it goes back and forth prettymuch without a glitch.

  • How to color correct a multiclip

    hi,
    i'm going to edit a multiclip ( 2 angles )
    since one angle need a costant color correction and the other angle a different one, which is the best and fastest way to proceed?
    thanks

    apply any constant grade to the 2 clips BEFORE you make them into a multiclp. you can either correct them by dragging the color corrector onto them whilst they are in the viewer and correcting there, or by editing them into a sequence first, applying the correction, and then dragging the corrected clip back from the sequence into the bin. create the multiclip form these already corrected clips ... only then will the applied grade be carried automatically through to each clip instance in the edit
    if you have already edited and now want to apply global corrections after the fact, then you need to correct one representative clip from one of the angles, then use the Find command to find (and select) all other occurrences of that angle in your completed sequence, and then drag that same correction onto the selected clips ... repeat for each angle

  • Color correction in FC Pro when working with multiclips

    Is there someway to preserve the color correction I apply in the sequence timeline to a clip, and to preserve the motion attributes I apply (i.e. it's in the sequence, then I double click to show it in the clip viewer and make adjustments) when I then include that clip (through the bin) in a multiclip?
    Basically I want to have to avoid repeating angle-specific corrections for each edit as I go along in a multiclip.
    MikeR

    I tried applying corrections to each before making the multiclip and it worked this time. I think what fooled me is that the 4-in-1 window reflects the original clips. But canvas playback shows the changes in the selected angle.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Multiclip Color Correction

    So I have a 3 angle multiclip - I place it in the time line, play it and edit it. Now I want to color correct. The manual says I can drag a color correcter filter from the effects browser onto the timeline clip where I am offered the option of 'apply to source angle' which I do as I am told this will allow me to alter the settings for the whole of that angle each time it appears in the timeline edit. However, this is not what happens, it only effects the one piece I dragged the filter onto. Every subsequent time that angle appears it does not have the filter on it. Additionally the manual says to see filters rendered to multiclip angles choose "Render Filters in Multiclip Display from the View pop up menu" - this option is not in the View pop up menu.....
    any ideas?

    This probably isn't the norm. But, I've been color correcting and when I have numerous pieces in the same scene that can use the same color correction I just click on filters and copy all. This copies all the filters and then just go down the line and copy into each sequence. For me it goes very fast. If you're just using Color Correction, in the upper left corner are two arrows facing each direction, if you click the first in either direction it copies that CC to the next clip. If you hit the second it goes two clips over.

  • 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. 

  • MultiCamera Editing-Color Correction

    I have done a shoot with two cameras. Loaded the two tapes into FCP and ready for MultiCamera editing. What if I would like to color correct the two clips to have them look similar, before I do the MultiCam edit. After the edit the clips are individual clips and need to be color corrected separately. I know you can copy CC to other clips, but it would be nice to CC the entire clip once, before doing the MultiCam process.
    Thanks,
    -carmen

    Or, bring the clips into Color, do the grade, bake in the changes and send it back to FCP before multicliping the project.
    If the original material is HDV, color will spit out ProRes files suitable for elegant editing.
