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?

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.

  • How do I apply color correction from one clip to multiple clips?

    Hey Everyone,
    I coming to find out that I'd like to apply the color correction from one clip to multiple without clicking, dragging, and punching in every setting clip by clip. Does anyone know how? This would be a total time saver! Thanks in advance.

    Grizzly,
    You are too awesome! Thank you so much my friend.

  • 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 apply 3 way color correction to multiple clips in Final Cut Pro?

    I have multiple clips from the same time and space footage that need color correction. I have worked on one of the clips and found the settings I like.
    Is there a way to apply that correction to other clips without starting from scratch on each one?
    Thanks!

    SoCal (above) listed one way. Another way you can do it if you like the color correction that you have done and want to save it, you can click the picture of the hand in the color correction tab and drag it into the browser. This saves that specific arrangement of colors, highlights, etc.
    Also, this might be a little easier but instead of pasting attributes and right clicking you can just grab the hand (that I just talked about) and drag it onto the clips you want to apply the same color correction to. The hand is located in the color correction tab (in viewer) and is under the "numeric" button.
    Note: All of your clips in your timeline will have different contrasts, brightness, colors, etc. NO clip is going to have the EXACT same attributes as another. It doesn't matter how expensive and professional your camera is. Every shot is different whether you are using artificial lighting or the natural lighting. Having that said, you will probably still need to adjust your different clips a little bit to make them look like they are in the same room at the same time. Hopefully if your lucky or had perfect lighting for all of your shots, you will not have to do much messing around with your contrast, brightness, etc. Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Apply Color Correction to next clip

    I'm pretty sure I was able to do this about a month ago.  I originally found how to do it in the help index, but I cannot find it now.
    I'm looking to apply my color correction to the next clip in the timeline.  Just like in FCP7, you were able to apply it to the two (or one) clips behind or in front of the clip you're using the CC from.
    Thank you.

    We don't have the same privelidges in this area that we enjoyed in FCP7.
    The best you can do is select the corrected clip and hit Cmd+C to copy it.
    Then select the clips you want to apply the same correction to and press Alt+Cmd+V to Paste Effects.
    Note:
    If you already have any effects on those clips, they will be overwritten.

  • Chroma keying and color correction on same clip

    I have an image, with some people shot on a green chroma key background. I want to key it on another image, and desaturate it, except the yellow color.
    I have no problem keying out the green. I can also desaturate the image, with the deaturate filter, but if I apply the color corrector, and work with it to only keep the yellow color in the image, then my chroma keying is lost.
    It kinda turns of the chroma key completely.
    What is the easiest way to chroma key out the green of an image and desaturate everything except the yellow color of the image?
    I have Final Cut Studio, so if it's easier to do it in Motion, then I'll do that...?
    It's shot on HDV, so it's already a little tricky to key out the green perfectly.
    thanks for your help.

    After you key the image, export it as a self contained QT movie. Then re-import it, and color correct it to suit your needs.

  • 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. 

  • 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 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 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.

  • Color correcting master clip/parent file

    can I color correct the master clip and effect all of the affiliate clips in a timeline? Thanks

    Only if you do the cc'ing prior to editing the footage into the timeline.
    If the footage is already cut into the timeline, you could simply 'copy' the color correction then use 'paste attributes/filters' to the clips in the timeline.
    Alternatively, you could set the color correction, drag it's icon from the viewer, into the browser then drag that to your clips in the timeline. Or, simply drag the icon (found at top left of color correction tab in the viewer...looks like two sheets of paper with a hand over them) directly from the viewer, onto the clips in the timeline.

  • 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.

  • Color Correction Workflow Question

    If I am color correcting on the "original clip" - and then pulling that color corrected "original clip" into its own "clip sequence" that I then pull into a "master sequence", along with all the other "clip sequences" that make up my edit, and I am trimming those "clip sequences" to get just the snippet I need...
    Is that creating a longer rendering time than if I...
    Do not color correct on the actual "original clip" - still put the "original clip" into its own "clip sequence" - trim and resize that "clip sequence" to just the snippet I need, and then do the color correcting on that "clip sequence" instead of the "original clip" itself?
    I'm hoping there is no descernable difference in the approach, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
    Thanks.

    Good enough for me.
    BTW Jim the workflow set-up you held my hand through (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5522489#5522489) is what I'm utilizing here - so far it has truly changed the way I approach everything for the better.

  • How do I load color corrected RMD (RED) files in CS5.

    I have edited RED footage in cs5.
    I now have received color corrected RMD files - however I don't see the color correction on any clips in the timeline.
    What do I need to do to make sure edited footage (R3D files) on the timeline reflect color correction.
    I tried replacing footage, it didn't work - if I import the R3D again, apply the cuts and place on timeline I see color correction but I am sure there's a better way to do this. Any pointers will be great.
    Thanks.

    The following text from Adobe seems to indicate that there is "more" with CS5.5:
    (taken from: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.displayTab2.html#REDSupport)
    The RED R3D Source Settings dialog box in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 offers extensive control over the look of RED raw footage. In conjunction with the ability to change color settings per clip, you can save combinations of adjustments as custom presets, which can be applied to individual or multiple clips. The controls in the Source Settings dialog box include:
    Debayer Detail — Vary the level of detail extracted from the image sensor.
    Chroma — Denoise the red/blue channels.
    OLPF Compensation — Eliminate color Moire fringes by controlling the optical low-pass filter (OLPF) that refines edge detail.
    Maximum Bit Depth — Use this global setting to choose between 32-bit float and 8-bit.
    White Balance — Manipulate Kelvin, Tint, and Saturation levels.
    Timecode — Select the timecode track to use from the R3D file.
    Color Settings — Adjust the ISO setting, exposure, red, green, blue, brightness, contrast, and highlight levels.
    Color Space — Select the desired color space from among Camera RGB For RAW; Rec 709, the standard color space for HD; and REDspace, which is a more saturated variation of Camera RGB.
    Gamma Curve — Override the gamma curve selection using several preset gamma curves.
    User Curve — Use a custom curve created by the camera operator.
