Color Correction Advice Needed

Hi all -
Below is a screen shot that is typical of my sequence:
I've applied the Three-Way Color Corrector and have been able to make minor adjustments here and there, but my main concern is the washed-out front man. I can't seem to bring any detail back into his face, front of his shirt, etc. I think I've adjusted every available control in the color corrector; just probably not in the right combination.
Any advice on how to deal with this?
Thanks.
Ed

Along with Craig's suggestion, I would also apply Shadow & Highlight, BUT make sure to uncheck Auto - you do NOT want that! Adjust, after the Levels, and be prepared to go back to Levels (not Auto Levels), for some tweaks. Note: the order of many Effects will have totally different effects on your footage. I recommend Levels first, and then Shadow & Highlight, but do not be afraid to switch those tow. After you are done, then the 3-Way Color Correction would be my next step, with maybe Neat Video to remove some noise. Be aware that Neat Video WILL up your Export times. Keep going back and making tweaks. Also, a calibrated NTSC (or PAL) CRT monitor, hooked up via FireWire and a pass-through device, will be your best test. Program Monitor is but an emulation.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Color correcting advice

    Hi everyone,
    I have absolutely zero experience with color correcting, but a project that I am working on seems to be in desperate need of it. I am wondering if anyone here can walk me through some steps to get this looking better?
    One camera was shot with a panasonic P2-- here's a snapshot:
    http://www.collinatorstudios.com/www/tp2.jpg
    On a monitor especially, the colors are more on the blue side, the black of the clothes are very black...
    The other camera was show with on minidv-- here's a snapshot:
    http://www.collinatorstudios.com/www/tminidv.jpg
    This one appears to have more red in it.. so blues are a bit more purple, and there is a lot more gray in the black...
    So I just would love it if someone could tell me what plugin(s) they would recommend to correct this, and even what settings on the plugin might fix this. I was messing with the built-in color tools but couldn't seem to get the results I was going for.
    Thanks.

    If you can't afford him...I am available for a BIT cheaper...but note that I am not as good.
    OR...you can buy this tutorial DVD and see what you can do:

    But nothing will match what a pro can do. But if you must do it yourself, this is a great DVD.

  • Color Correction Process

    I've digitized Terabytes of my video. Much of it needs white balance correction. (lots of old Video 8 and even VHS material)
    Typically what I have is an hour and sometimes 2 hours of media where some of it needs to be white balanced and some not.
    I want to correct the parts that need it and I want the correction to be applied to the original material. So I need to correct the white balance on various portions, but not all and not with the same corrections. I want to wind up with a master file of the original captured tape, but with the necessary white balance corrections.
    What is the best process for doing this?

    I think the only way you are going to accomplish this is:
    Put captured clip in a timeline. Apply color correction where needed. (Use the blade tool to isolate the parts that need correction.) Export the timeline self contained. Delete the original clip.
    FCP is a non-destructive editor. The media is the media and just sits there while you tell fcp how to play it back.

  • Printer Requested Exporting Document in CMYK, with one other color so he could color correct to his printers.  How do I do this?

    I have a client that was originally going with a metallic Pantone color and last minute decided to change their mind to cut costs.  So after talking to the printer (because the conversion color is way off) he requested that I export the document in 5 color processing.  He wants CMYK + the color that would originally have been the metallic pantone so he can go in and grab that one color and color correct as needed on his printer.  Can someone please let me know how I export CMYK + one color which will also be in CMYK.
    Thanks!

    Incase anyone comes across this same issue, you can create a new swatch as a "Spot Color" even though it is CMYK and it will export as CMYK + 1 other color.  Hope this helps anyone else who comes across it.

  • Color correction help - step-by-step

    I'd appreciate some help with a snippet from a video I posted on YouTube.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DFqIQPH_iU
    This video was shot with three cameras. The wide shot has the most "correct colors". The video from that wide shot camera is what I want to use as my benchmark. I want to get the two "close up" cameras to match, as much as possible, the colors from the "wide shot" camera,
    The two close up cameras have a little too much saturation in at least the red areas -- note the reds in the painted background. The close ups have a bit too much red, which is particularly noticeable in the painted background
    So my question is what Adobe CS5 color correction tools should I use to give me the color correction I need.
    For example, in what order should I use the various color correction tools? Or is there one tool I can use that will "fix" it all.
    Thanks

    Its going to be a bit trial and error because thats the way it is in the CC workflow.
    I agree its a bit of a saturation (red) issue which you already identified so deal with that.
    Try LEVELS in the red channels (and most likely red gamma - which is the mids)
    Shouldnt be too difficult because its not too bad as it is.
    Maybe with LEVELS drop the RGB Gamma (or Black) to bring the BG down a bit on the refernce clip ( effectively saturating it a little more)
    Tip: Set up a Reference Monitor with the reference clip.
    Hi
    I am on another computer this morning without Premiere -- I assume a Reference Monitor is one I set up within Premiere -- not a physical external monitor.
    I will try your suggestions -- BTW is an eyedropper included in Levels?   So I can do some color matching, or is that something completely different.

  • New to color correction - need help on too bright shot

    Need help to fix this shot!  I've been messing around with color corrector 3 way and nothing seems to help.   I'm new to color correction and would greatly appreciate any advice. 
    Thanks,
    Jenny

    When you see white pixels in an overexposed shot, it means that there's often no pixel data to work with.
    While the best option is a reshoot (this time with proper monitoring), you may want to try the "Captain's Blowout Fixer" filter available here: http://pistolerapost.com/pluginz/index.html
    It let's you looks to see which color channel has the most remaining pixel data (if any) and work with it to overcome production screw-ups like this.  Make sure you watch the tutorial on how to properly use the filter.

  • Color correction hardware advice

    Hi all,
    I've been a video editor by trade for the past 3 years or so, but have only finally gotten around to investing in my own personal studio. I recently purchased a MacPro and am looking into broadcast monitors for color correction.
    The main question deals with Intel compatibility and the hardware out there.. I'm curious what other user's experience has been. I'm going back and fourth between a Blackmagic card and a deck like a DSR-11. Anyone have any advice? The big thing to keep in mind is that I've been editing in-house at the companies I've worked for and have little experience setting up hardware. Thanks in advance!
    cheers,
    Adam Weinberg

    hi Adam
    its not all happening in the box alone. if my understanding is correct, you also install drivers which hook into the system to manipulate the DVI output in order to provide the necessary signal to the device. similarly, the drivers, allow FCP to hand off some of the processing to the extermal device, hence the hardware acceleration.
    not sure this is the option you want though. if you're trying to set up a home studio, you may be better off looking for a suitable Decklink or Kona card as they will offer you far greater options for both input and output .
    cheers

  • Advice for logical workflow for color correcting and color grading

    I am an experienced user of  PPRO CS5.  I am a novice with color correcting and color grading.  I am also just barely competant in AE CS5.  It has been suggested that I use AE for color correcting my footage.  Can you advise me as to the most logical workflow for doing this in coordination with PPRO CS5?  Are there some tutorials that you recommend?  I subscribe to Lynda.com and I think that they have some great tutorials, I am unsure as to where to begin looking and what to search for.
    Thanks so much,
    Lisa

    You can do it that way, sure. But you don't have to. You can accomplish quite a lot without leaving PPro. This has two major advantages. First, if you aren't using AE for anything else, it gets you out of using AE at all, so gets you out of climbing another set  of learning curves.
    Second, even if you are using AE for other things (I use AE to make motion lower thirds, for example), doing the work in PPro can improve exporting speeds. This is because AE gets restricted to a single processor core in some workflows as discussed in this thread and others (search around if you're interested). This can make exporting take 3x as long or longer, depending on how much footage has to be processed by AE.
    So, how to do color correction without leaving PPro? Use either a luma corrector or luma curve effect to set black and white points, and contrast (use a waveform monitor to help). Then use a three way color corrector effect to get rid of any residual color casts (use the vectorscope to help, and the RGB parade, etc.).
    If you find you have specific colors that need to be fixed, you can apply another three way color correction effect and use it to make that secondary color correction (for example I find the blue dyes used in many labels tend to fluoresce under fluorescent lighting, and has to be desaturated with a secondary color correction or it "blooms" on an HDTV -- IOW, it has to be made "broadcast safe").
    If you want tutorials for using these tools, the ones on Creative Cow by Andrew Devis are quite good, and free. The ones on color correction with PPro cs6 start at tutorial number 47. There's a bunch of them. All good.
    Finally, get a copy of Van Hurkman's Color Correction Handbook. May be the best technical book I've ever read, and it'll certainly point you in the right direction for doing color correction work regardless of which tools you use to do it.

  • 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 in IM6 or plugin advice?

    Hello All,
    I have several hours of video from 8mm films that I have filmed with my DV camcorder. The quality is pretty good, but I would like to run it through some kind of color correction or optimization.
    1. Has anyone done this in IM6? Is it possible?
    2. Has anyone used any plugins for this sort of thing?
    3. Does anyone know of any third-party software I could run my video through and then save as .mov for import into IM6?
    Thanks for sharing your expierence!
    Adam

    iMovie has hue and white balance adjustment although they are a bit tedious to work with. Even with plug-in from GeeThree it will take a while and I am not sure if they work with V6 yet. Slick 3 has the color correction you are looking for
    But if you have a lot of footage and want to do a good job there is little better than the 3-Way color in Final Cut other than having someone with PRO equipment do the conversion and correct the colors on the transfer.

  • Needing to color correct a bunch of blue clips!

    I recently did a shoot and the other shooter I hired gave me a bunch of blue video. What is the fastest way I can color correct those clips? I used a color corrector 3 way on those clips but it didn't really take the blue out. I then copied the settings from my camera (it was a 2 camera shoot) and then pasted the attributes to the problem clips and again I didn't see much of a difference with the blue being removed. Am I doing something wrong?
    Message was edited by: DVX100Shooter

    Using the 3-way there is a feature...white balance. There is an eyedropper next to the HIGHLIGHTS wheel. Use that to click on something in the image that is supposed to be white. The 3-way will then adjust the settings to make that white.
    Same with the LOWS. Use that eyedropper to hit something that is supposed to be black.

  • Color sent to FCP - New Clip in FCP that also needs color correction

    Good evening, is there a way how - after having color corrected the FCP project in Color - to exchange or add a new clip into the FCP project, which can be color corrected in the same, initial Color project.
    Meaning: I was "lazy" and I didn't bake a Motion Clip, which of course isn't showing in Color.
    Now, I tried to be "smart": Exported the Motion Clip from FCP as Quicktime movie. Than went to Color and relinked media, with that new baked clip, which is the exact same length... That doesn't work...
    Hm. I am being ignorant?
    Thank in advance for the help.
    Sincerely,
    Miss Snoozy

    In your case, if you're up to date on version (1.5 or later), then a Reconform will probably work for you.
    Create a new FCP sequence with the revised "baked" clip, export an XML file, open the original COLOR project, select Reconform from the file menu, select the XML you just created and hold your breah, cross your fingers and hopefully it will work.

  • Color correction challenge, PP5.5 Mac, ProRes to WMV

    I'm eager to complete my transition from FC Studio to Production Premium CS5.5, but I'm challenged to ensure consistent color in my ProRes to WMV workflow. Any advice would be appreciated.
    My shooting gear: EX1R, w and w/o Nanoflash
    Editing gear: 2008 MacPro (3.1), OSX 10.6.7, 10 GB RAM, ATI Raedon 4870
    Workflow (FCP): Acquire footage, edit native (XD CAM EX/XDCAM HD22), render sequence to ProRes 422, transcode via Quicktime 7 Pro/Flip for Mac to produce WMV files for my PC clients.
    Workflow CS5.5 (intended:) Acquire footage, edit native (XDCAM HD 422 via Nanoflash), output sequence to ProRes, transcode to WMV via Quicktime 7 Pro/Flip for Mac HD. After I put a "trial" sequence together in PP5.5, I adjust footage with 3-way color corrector. Here's where the fun starts:
    Process: I attempt to create a "master file" from the sequence, using AME with output set for Pro Res. The next intended step would be to open the file in Quicktime Pro 7, then encode via Flip for Mac to produce a smaller WMV file for my clients.
    Outcome (1) The results look as though color correction was bypassed completely. After much trial and error, I discovered that when I encoded using ProRes 4444, color corrections were preserved. Yet when I transcoded from 4444 to wmv, (2) the resulting files appeared to have no color correction. No good.
    I'm stumped! I thought I was on to something when I noticed the "preset" for outputting XDCAM HD422 was not set for "progressive," but it appears to make no difference.
    Sidebar: I experience the same issue regardless of use of XDCAM EX or XDCAM HD422 files. With the latter, I've edited clips in MOV and MXF format. Same outcome.
    Until I get this workflow issue sorted out, I'm stalled in completing my transition to PP. I'd like to have acquired gobs more RAM and an Nvidia Quadro 4800 card already, but I need to know that I've fixed this issue first.
    Any suggestions most welcome.
    Sincerely,
    Tom

    I finally figured it out! If there are any other FCP to PP traitors out there like me in Mac land, here's a workflow that results in WMVs matching the color corrections created in your PP sequence:
    1) Edit native. In my case, I'm working with "XDCAM HD 422," the result of linking a Nanoflash set for 100 mbps/long gop to my EX1R. Both FCP and PP "read" them as 50 mbps files.
    2) Export media to AME, checking the box, "Match Sequence Settings." With little delay, this produces a file with an mpeg extension (the mpeg-2 codec). In Quicktime player, this yields silent footage with no audio. Bummer. End of story, I thought.
    3) But this time, I brought that same "black" file into Apple Compressor. Using the Flip For Mac plug in, I exported to one of my "regular" settings, 2-pass, VBR, 640x360. The result: a perfect color match with my color corrected PP sequence.
    I'm sure there are alternatives to bringing a file that won't play in Quicktime into Compressor. I'll try Quicktime Pro and Streamclip next. But the point -- I think -- is to not bother with any more intermediate formats/files than one has to.
    Sighs of relief here.

  • Color Correction Novice rounding home stretch w/ a Q

    Hi,
    So far, I've received some valuable advice & tips for my 1st attempts at color correction, esp since my production falls outside the normal applications. The help has been great!
    I went thru my production and did scene by scene corrections, which lost most of its intimidation with enough practice. I still havent tackled the Keyframe approach to having corrections shift during the course of a scene - I'm hoping to escape without having to do that.
    Heres my question -
    I did all the corrections, with a calibrated external monitor, and then had the program render all the video effects. Then I chose "print to video". When the program ran, the colors were a little different overall than what I had set in the program (less orange, more pink) and in a few scenes (orig underexposed, but corrected in the process), the color shifted more radically, esp in the shadow / black values which fell greenish.
    I didnt see any of this as I was correcting, and the signal path was the same when I printed to dvd, same monitor w/ no calibration changes.
    Is this normal? Maybe these shifts happen more discreetly in reg productions, mine is a live stage shoot with a lot of red light.
    Thanks for all the help, & Happy New Year

    Hi,
    Thanks for all the info, I'm starting to look at ways of sending what I have to people who need to see it. The project will likely still require some tweaking so this isnt a final mastering step by any means. Just looking for something that looks as good as what I see on the monitor after rendering.
    Its looking like (from the lasts posts) that 'out thru firewire -> dvd recorder' isnt the best choice & if I can keep it in the computer & flow it directly to its burner, the opportunities for problems can be minimalized.
    I tried exporting to quicktime, that resulted in an FCP Quicktime file that took 3 hrs to create & was almost 13 gig. (program is 50 min) so it looked great but was too huge to put onto a disk.
    If anyone has guidance in this area, I'd appreciate it. I'm gonna poke around in those options & then likely post a further question seperately on this subject. I want to get it onto a dv disc via toast 6 (I see Quicktime w/ Compression is an option so I'm gonna explore that)
    Thank you all again for the correction help, in that 13 gig version, it looked really great (no green in shadow artifacts ! )

  • 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?
