Color Correction: many settings on one clip

Hi,
Suppose I have a 10 mns clip containing 15 different scenes. I need a different color correction setting on each scene.  I am about to break the clip into 15 individual scenes and apply individual CC on each. Is there another way to do this, like for exemple a keyframe that would instantly change a CC setting ? 
Thanks,
Michel

Hi Jeff,
seems to do the trick !  take some time getting used to, though.  The additionnal problem is the source material I have: original 8mm films with multiple scene changes, but being film, the first frames are always overexposed compared to the rest of the shot. So using the actual keyframe position  for CC can't always  be done. So...
1- I went through a roll and inserted "hold" keyframes at every cut
2- I added a reference monitor that I unlocked from the original program monitor
3- Go to a keyframe
4-Position the reference monitor between two keyframes to the frame that represent the section.
5- Play with the CC until the ref monitor look good
6 - Repeat at will.
I tried it once and it seems to work fine: I get to have various timing on the same clip.  Mr Hunt solution is a lot simpler and straightforward, but I was  hesitant to cut the clip at multiple places. But it  also gives the assurance that a change on a clip will never affect the other clips (I am not used to work in keyframes). 
This way of timing is closer to professionnal film to tape transfer I dabbled with on younger days.
Thanks Jeff !
Back to work.  I have 2 hours of the stuff to time :-)

  • 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?

    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.

  • Apply color correction to the sequence, not clip

    Is it possible to select all clips in the sequence, then apply color corrector, or brightness/contrast filter _with a specific setting_ to the whole sequence?
    Currently when I select all in the sequence, apply a correction through effects > video ... etc, then change a setting, it will only change the setting one clip from the sequence.
    I know it is possible to work around this and do it with one clip and then paste attributes, but if there's another way, please let me know.
    Thank you!

    Michel,
    That's a great idea, why didn't I think of that? Thank you for your fast reply, I got it near instantly on the iPhone and was laughing at how simple and smart a solution you had!

  • Can I copy EQ settings from one clip to another?

    Is it possible? I opened the graphic EQ of one clip and moved the 10 levers. I want to be able to apply the same setting to several clips.

    Copy and paste effects. Unfortunately it's not selective.

  • Can I copy the filter/motion/effect settings from one clip to others?

    I've got a series of photos in my timeline, each will move with some random little rotation and zoom in/out pan, etc... on a black background. Can I save some time by setting up one photo with the effects the way I want it and then copying those settings to the other photos?
    After doing that, I would have to adjust the settings on each photo to randomize them. Or would it be just as easy/easier to just start from scratch with each photo?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Once your clip's motion and scale is adjusted, select your clip in timeline, use copy command. Now select all others clips in timeline, use the contextual menu (control click) over the fist one, and select "paste attributes menu--" select "basic motion".
    You can also use option-V shortcut to invoque the paste attribute contextual menu.
    When all your clips have the same movements and scale, simply recenter (motion tab) each one to put some variation in motion.
    You can also set two ot three movements (clips and paste item properties in random order (manually) to other clips.

  • Applying color corrections to the original video clips?

    How do I apply the same colour corrections I have made to video clips in PremierPro CS5.5, to the original video clips? Is there a way to save the clips from PremierPro to apply the same changes to the original avchd clips?

    You would have to export with the correction applied.
    These become "Intermediates"

  • 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.

  • No way to apply filters/color from one clip to another?

    What am I missing? I don't see any way to take the color/filter settings from one clip and lift/stamp them onto another clip.

    highlight the clip that you have adjusted. Right click and choose copy. Then highlight all the other clips you want to add the filter to. Right click and choose Paste attributes. A window will open asking which attributes to paste. Choose filters.
    Good Luck!

  • 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 Correction in Premiere Pro CS5

    Hello all,
    Like a lot of people I have started looking for an alternative to FCP and Color since it seems like apple is dragging their feet a bit.  However, during my switch process, I am encountering a few problems. 
    My biggest problem is in the color correction department. I love the color correction effects that you can use in PP, however when editing a large amount of clips on huge timelines, it becomes time consuming to have to click on each clip to gets its effects to come up in the window.
    In FCP you can gang a sequence to the viewer monitor and when the playhead moves the color correction adjustments change to whatever clip you are on. Same with Color.  move the playhead and the adjustments change to whatever is associated with the clip, making it really efficient to color correct.
    So...... does anyone know a similar way to use PP in the same way.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    also, anyone know where the zoom transitions went on CS5 for mac?
    Thanks again.
    Nick

    Hey Nick,
    I don't know how to do that in PP.  I use MB Looks for CC and the best I can offer is to copy and paste down the line.  I will grade one clip and then paste those settings to the rest of appropriate clips in that scene, tweaking when necessary.
    Hope that helps! 

  • How to batch process (color correct) multiple MXF files?

    Newb here with a question I cannot find an answer for. I'm very new to CS5.5 and am very frustrated with something that should be a simple procedure, at least it was with my last NLE.
    I am shooting amateur hockey games using a Canon XF100. Typically I shoot at 720 60p and with all the starts and stops of the game there may be 30-40 MFX files for a game. I'm having no problems importing into CS5.5, the files all show up on the timeline.
    I want (need) to be able to color correct ALL these files at once using the fast color corrector and/or the 3 way color balance. For the life of me I cannot seem to do this and I cannot find any answers despite many hours of searches.
    Last night I did (after much mucking around) manage to 'nest' the files and do the color correction but when I went to export to Media Encoder (to render as MP4 file) I kept getting error messages and was unable to proceed. This happened 6 times, the encoding would start and then after about 20 minutes, and some progress, it would give me an error message.
    Can someone please, pretty please!, explain a simpler way to do this? I feel like I am missing a very obvious step and I'm probably just phrasing the question incorrectly.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, you're doing it exactly in the right way. I just nested a sequence and applied the Fast Color Corrector to the nest and it exported beautifully. Could you try nesting and color correcting a short sequence with clips other than the MXF files generated by the Canon XF100 using the same methodology? I'm trying to see if it's your footage is the issue or something else.

  • FCP to Color - what happens to color corrections?

    I usually just strip the color correction filters out of FCP clips before sending to Color.
    Just wondering what happens if one leaves them in?
    B

    The Book says this:
    Filters: Final Cut Pro FXScript or FxPlug filters are neither previewed nor rendered by Color. However, their presence in your project is maintained, and they show up again once the project is sent back to Final Cut Pro.

  • Looking for a particular color correction tutorial

    I am looking for an online tutorial on how to do color correction if the video one is working with has color bars.  This happens on a lot of analog videotapes that come to me.  I know what my scopes are suppposed to look like when analyzing color bars, but I need something that shows me how to get from A to B.
    If I Google some varient of "color correction video color bars," all I get is information on calibrating monitors.

  • No Color Correction to FCP from Color

    I have project that I graded in Color, I rendered it and send it back to FCP, when I viewed to clips in the FCP timeline from Color, no color correction was applied to the clips, did I do something wrong?
    How do I make work properly?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am new to Color but had the same problem, I was rendering out to an external harddrive. Re-render or move your files to 'Documents Folder' > 'Color Documents' > 'Renders'.
    Then re-send your color project to FCP.
    I'm no expert but this might work.

  • FCPX Color Correction affecting transparencies

    I have a problem where color corrections applied to a video clip are effecting a transparent graphic above the video, where 100% white is somehow being given a luminosity above 100%.
    I created a screencapture video showing the problem to clearify: http://youtu.be/cX37HmPASok
    This is what the transparent shadow should look like when it is on a 100% white background: http://imgur.com/a/ksiYY#0
    But this is what it looks like when the exposure of the object below it is increased to clip the white highlight: http://imgur.com/a/ksiYY#1
    I don't understand why increasing the exposure doesn't max the brightness out at 100% white. How do I keep the luminosity from effecting my transparency?
    THANKS!

    TOOOO perfect! Thanks Tom. I was able to find two videos that elaborated on your comment to solidify a solution.
    The Broadcast Safe Filter is definitely the solution, but for some reason it gets applied BEFORE the Color Correction gets applied (which I see is why your compound clip work-around is necessary).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Edju6ktL8
    I also came across this video today though that offers a simpler solution. By creating an empty Title template in Motion, I can apply the Broadcast Safe Filter to it and span it across the entire video above the color corrected footage but under my transparent slides.
