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.

  • 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!

  • 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. 

  • After effects color corrected clip not showing correctly in Premiere

    Hello all,
    I have recently made a short film with a few effects in Premiere and After effects CS4.  I have used the Dynamic Link to accomplish this.  I have added color correction with Color Finesse in After effects.  The problem is I some of the color correction is not showing up in Premiere once it has finished.  Some of them are adjustment layers and some are not and the ones that are showing up are diverse like that as well.  I have rendered the footage and rendered the premiere time line, it fixes it at first but won't build a DVD the right way then the fixes just seem to disappear when scrolling through the timeline.
    Is anyone else haveing this problem?
    Do you think it's something wrong that an update will fix?
    Maybe a new codec?

  • CS4 - Color Correction Bug with MPG2 export

    I just want to verify this is a bug others are seeing before I submit the bug report.
    1. Create a new timeline of your choice, (size etc does not matter)  Make sure "maximum bit depth" is selected.
    2. Next, place a clip of your choice (HDV, AVCHD, or EX1) that has bright sceen in it so the IRE hits 110.
    3. Place the Fast Color Correction or Three way color correction effect on the clip.  Change somthing (like white balance or whatever)
    4. Export the clip to MPG2 BlueRay.  Any preset will do.
    5. Now bring the just exported M2V clip back into the project and place it on the timeline.  The max IRE value will be 100, not 110.
    6. If you do step 4 but export the H264 BluRay, the IRE will stay at 110.
    I was doing some CC and it was driving me crazy.

    Bump. Has anyone seen this problem? Seems like a very comon workflow.  CC a clip, then export the MPG2?

  • Resolved Color Correction issue with MAC OS X and Canon pro 9000

    Problem: Unable to set the Color Correction option to NONE. I have looked all over the net and it seems that there are lots of people with this problem. After months and months of battling with this issue I have finally come up with the answer. Its all down to the fact that MAC OS X comes with a pre installed driver for the Canon Pixma Pro 9000. To cut a long story short this driver needs to be deleted from your system files before you update your driver, which you need to download from the canon website. I downloaded version 4.8.6. The new driver does not seem to work with the default driver still on the comp. After following directions below you should finally be able to get your Color Correction option on your driver working.
    First things first... go to the following location and delete the canon pro 9000 driver.
    Location: /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources
    File Name: CanonIJPro900series.ppd.gz
    (make a backup of this file if you wish )
    Once you have deleted the driver you need to restart your mac.
    After rebooting install the new Canon Pro 9000 driver. I suggest installing version 4.8.6(this one worked for me)
    Reboot Mac again just for good measure then do a test print and you should now be able to set COLOR CORRECTION to NONE.
    I know there are a lot of people out there having the same problem so if you are reading this please pass the solution on to others.

    Hi Japamac,
    Indeed a new cable just bought solved this problem.
    Still wandering why my MacbookPro was able to print and my PowerMac not, maybe another driver issue?
    Thank's anyway for your reply.

  • Color correct clips before making muliticlip?

    Hello,
    I would like to color correct my three camera clips before making a multiclip to save time, but the video scopes will not allow me to see my changes when I color correct. I have to drag each clip to the timeline and color correct each clip before I see modifications to the videoscopes. Even then, I have to use only the clips in the browser to make the mulitclip. Is there a more efficient process to put my clips through a filter(s) process (ie..color correction, de-interlace) before making a multiclip?
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    Hello Andy,
    Yahoo! Thank you Andy for your information. You just saved me a lot of time. Cheers!

  • Need help: How to color correct professionally (with examples)

    Post to video forum (before and after): Hi, I really need some help  I want to color correct this video. I would love if someone had tips, either on:
    -How you would correct the original
    -What it looks like I'm doing wrong in my attempts (last 2 pictures)
    Thanks!

    I'd crunch it up a little more with a curves adjustment. These children don't look healthy and stronger contrast will help. Also push the reds toward a slightly more orange tone. They look too purple. There's also still an overall purple tinge which needs to be eliminated. See the included 3 minute quick shot of mine. Not perfect and requires more tweaking (too much yellow now, see the lips), but I think it better represents the feeling one would want to convey.

  • Color correction problems with multiple monitors

    I just upgraded my Win 7 from RC to RTM.  I then updated my color correction using Gretag Macbeth i1 for both adapters. My system has 2 video cards and 3 monitors.  Monitor 1 runs off adapter 1, monitors 2 & 3 run off adapter 2.  Both video cards and all 3 monitors are of the same model.  I set adapter/monitor 1 to the ICC profile 1, and adapter 2/monitor 2&3 to ICC profile 2 from Gretag.  Not running LR, everything looks as expected.
    When I run LR on the primary monitor green leaves turn orange, if I had to guess I would say I'm loosing the green information.  If I move LR to display 2 or 3 the colors are as they should be.
    I ran into this once before and it was something simple to fix this, but I can't seem to find it now.   BTW, this worked just fine before the upgrade from RC to RTM.

    At first I thought a reboot cured the problem, but apparently not.

  • Color corrections dissappear with title

    I used the fast color corrector on my video sequence. Everything looks good now. Then as a final step, I added lower third titles to the video. The problem is whenever the titles display, all of my color corrections disappear. When the titles fade out, the corrections come back. Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone else solved this problem? Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is in the real-time preview. When I exported it into a quicktime movie the problem was gone. Rookie mistake, sorry about that.

  • Premiere Pro Color Correcting Help with GoPro Protune Footage

    Hey guys,
    I'm working on a video I made of my daughter's birth. Most of the footage is from my DSLR and looks fine, but Im' having a helluva time getting my GoPro footage to look even remotely decent. I shot in ProTune thinking I could get more out of it in post (plus, I wanted the 24 fps option). It's a lot of indoor footage and I don't expect miracles but I'm trying to get the best I can out of it.
    I start by using fast color corrector to white balance based off hte door trim. That works but it still looks really, really flat and dead. Tried using Contrast, RGB curves, etc. and I can't seem to get any sort of decent image out of it.
    Any tips or ideas with where to start? I don't need it perfect, just want it as good as i can get it. Most of my indoor shots look like this for some reason :/
    PS, I didn't transcode in Cineform at all. I just dumped the MP4 files right into Premiere Pro.

    If you're on PrPro CC, I'd get Speedgrade also and take a run over to it for your correction work ... commonly known as grading. Yea, you can do it in PrPro, but as a noob ... never got the footage I worked "there" as far along as when working in Sg. Might help.
    Next ... the scopes here are quite interesting ... first, set your lower-end of the footage to the point where you either go for good "broadcast" (blacks that you WANT black about 16 on a 0-255 scale), then lift the contrast/highs/whatever control until your whites just tip out on top. Next correct for gamma, the overall placement of the mids/upper mids, then start with your color work.
    You will probably need to raise in-coming sat up a bit to start making best choices there ... but then I'm also a noob so I'm waiting for the corrections that shooter or Jim will chime in with ...

  • Color correction change across all clips?

    I know how to make a color correction to my first clip, then I can copy and paste it onto all the other clips. However, what if I want to change the color correction later on? I have to delete all the color corrected clips, and then make a new correction and re-paste. Then if I want to do it all again, same hassle. This can be very bad when working with hundreds of clips on the timeline.
    I wonder if I can set up a color correction profile and then send the clip to that profile. Then I can change the profile and each clip will follow that.
    Thanks,
    MrD

    Two observations...
    1.  You don't have to delete the clips to change the CC.  You simply modify settings in the effects panel.
    2. Provided that you want to apply the same CC to all the clips in (say) Timeline One - nest Timeline One inside Timeline Two and apply CC to it.  In this way you only have to apply one CC instance..

  • AE CS6 - 3D Compositing and Color Correction workflow

    AE CS6 - 3D Compositing and Color Correction workflow
    Hello everybody,
    I have some questions about work flow in AE concerning compositing and Color Correction. I saw many tuts about (f.e. Lynda.com Premiere Pro Color Correction and Enhancement... and tuts by Andrew Davis here in creative.cow).
    Essentially, he have this CC work flow:
    GRADING (primary and secondary)
    Adjusting Tonality (Brightness and Contrast)
    Adjusting Colors (White balance and fix color dominance)
    MATCHING
    Conforming colors of different clip shoted with different camera and lighting set up.
    ENANCHING LOOK
    Giving to all clips a unique "look"
    But what does it  happen if we have NOT just some clips but ALSO a 3D object (rendered in a 3d sw or, actually also a 3d object inserted by 3D Element by videocopilot)
    or/and
    a keyed clip from a green screen shot?
    How does this footage (3d object and green screen keyed shot) transform
    the aforementioned work flow?
    We have to consider that this footage (3d object and green screen keyed shot) must to be pre-multiplied to make a right compositing but when you make CC it must be again "straight"... (NOT pre-multiplied)
    Is really hard also understand how dale this work flow between AE and Pre Pro if you want to make CC in Pre Pro after compositing in AE.
    I try to present a work flow for this (very common) situation:
    I have a landscape clip as a background
    a keyed clip (pre-multiplied) with a Character watching sky
    and a 3d (pre-multiplied) object U.F.O. on sky.
    When I have done compositing, how make I a right CC of all footage if I have two clip (3d object and green screen keyed shot) still  pre-multiplied?
    I think, but I'm not sure, that should be a good idea to send to Pre Pro a composited Comp with separate layers (by dynamic links)  to have  all single separate layers (Background, 3d object and green screen keyed shot.. but also the Color Warping...!). Than, in Pre Pro you should make a CC (Grading)  just for a BG and than try to Match (Matching) this color corrected BG with 3d obj and keyed shoot. But we have a problem at this point cause our 3d object and green screen keyed shot are still pre-multiplied, and before make matching we have to re- multiplied theme, but how? And if we re pre-multiplied them, compositing will be also right?
    Or maybe, before exporting comp from AE to Pre Pro, he have to create both layers for 3d object and green screen keyed shot, one pre-multiplied and one "Stright"? But, again, how to combine them to have a right compositing and a a right CC?
    Anybody can help me to understand or maybe suggest any tuts to dale this common issue in AE- Pre Pro?
    Many, many thanks!

    Dave is correct. (And so is Mylenium. No need to be rude, when he was jsut trying to explain that you were introducing unnecessary complexity.)
    The color matting is removed to interpret the alpha channel when you import the footage. After that, any color correction that you do to a layer based ont hat footage item doesn't have anything to do with whether the channels were straight or premultiplied for the source item.
    You color-correct your individual items to amke them match as part of the compositing process in After Effects. Then, if you want to do a color grade of the shot in Premiere Pro along with other shots, you'd be working on the single rendered/flattened composite, so the details of the original elements that went into the composite are irrelevant.

  • Color correcting in french final cut

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using a french version of final cut pro HD 4.5. I can't find the color correction tab with the three cercles, does anyone use a french version so I can fallow propely the path that will lead me to make my color corrections. If not, maybe you can guide me in my task: I shot a video with a white machine. When I did the shooting, I wanted to create a look that cannot identifie any space or room, so I've used white foam core. The problem is that even if I did my white balance, my background and the machine is not white enought to give the impression of a " no where place". It's been a while since I did editing and I've never use color correction before. I know that there are tutorial that exist but time and money are a matter of facte that I can't purchase them for the moment. If anyone can help me and guide me in my task, because I've lost a lot of precious time trying to find a solution, it would be very appreciate.

    Jacques,
    Merci énormément, j'aurais dû écrire avant, je n'aurais pas perdu autant de temps à trouver que c'était Étalonnage qui correspondait au Color correction.
    Maintenant, comment je fais pour isoler mon objet de mon fond et de plus, mon fond n'est pas le même blanc partout, est-ce qu'il y un moyen d'uniformiser le tout sans que mon objet principal soit surexposé?
    DAVID,
    Your answer was helpful but Jacques was able to identifie the exact term wich help me a lot because the word in french is quite different then color correction.
    Now, how I isolate my object from my background and moreover, my background is not the same white everywhere, it there a way of standardizing the whole background without my principal object being over-exposed?

  • 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.
