Color Correction multiple clips

I want to manually lower the saturation on multiple clips in Final Cut Express. Is there any way to do this to multiple clips at once?

Hi -
Yes, apply the filter you want to use to a single clip, and make the adjustments you want to make. When you have it the way you want it, select the clip and type Command + C to copy it. Then select all the clips on the timeline you want to apply the filter to and type OPTION-V which will bring up the paster attributes pane. Check the box for Filters, and click OK. This will paste the filter and the filter settings to all the clips you have selected at once.

  • Add keyframes color-correcting a clip

    I'm using Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 on an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1.
    When I try adding multiple sequential color corrections in a single clip, there is no way to add keyframes to each correction.
    In the video inspector the add keyframe symbol does not appear.
    In the show video animation window, if I clik "control k" the keyframe symbol does appear,  but if I add more than 1 keyframe only the last one is active, so I can only correct the entire clip.
    Is there any way to add more than 1 sequential correction  using keyframes, instead of cutting che clip into multiple segment and correcting each one of them?

    I have an RGB Channel Mixer that can be keyframed.
    First, I recommend turning on Video Scopes (RGB Parade) and turning off the Color board for the title (you do not want to accidentally color grade the title).
    RGB Channel Mixer is a title effect, so just drag it over the region you need to color "mix". You can use this effect in conjunction with the color board for the storyline clip. (Do not color correct the channel mixer!
    You can toggle the view with the channel mixer selected — type 'v'.
    You can download it here: RGB Channel Mixer
    It won't hurt to try it and if you don't like it - just delete it. (It's still a bit of an experiment at this point.)
    The effect works by mixing the red, green and blue channels separately against a black background solid. The Amount values use opacity to change the mix. The Boost values are different. They add a little "gain" in the channel. There's a subtle difference between the two. Contrast and Brightness controls are added to help with the lack of range assist (shadow, mids, highlights).

  • Color Correcting Multicam Clip

    I have a two camera project.  I am color correcting the project.  I can see where doing the color work in the timeline would be very ineffective.  The Angle Editor would be a much more efficient way to go.  My problem is that once I open the Angle Editor I have each camera on line, one above the other, as I would expect.  I can color correct the upper one no problem.  When I select the lower camera clips they show in the viewer only while the cursor is over one.  As soon as I move the cursor to the color board the viewer switches to the upper camera clip.
    What am I doing wrong here ?
    I know I am going to fill really stupid once I find out the answer . 

    At the head of each lane in the angle editor is an icon that lets you select which clip appears in the viewer.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Premier Pro CS4 color correct several clips at once on timeline

    Is it possible to color correct (with the same settings) several clips at once on the timeline.  So far, I am able to cc only one clip at a time, which is a fairly tedious process, and the camera settings were the same for many of the clips.  I'm wondering if there is a way to select a group of clips in the timeline and apply the same settings to that group.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, this is my first experience with color correction.  I'm using the fast color corrector, so would you mind giving me a little more scoop (step by step) on how I copy/paste the attributes onto the clips on the timeline.
    Thanks!

  • Adjust Color over multiple clips

    I have made some color adjustments to a clip in my expert timeline. I selected the clip, clicked "Adjust" then made some adjustments to "Color" and "Color (RGB)" I would like to apply these adjustments to the rest of the clips in my timeline but I don't see that as an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Here's a trick from my book.
    Right-click on the clip you've adjusted and select Copy. Then select the other clips you want to apply these same adjustments to, right-click and select Paste Effects and Adjustments. Voila!

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Color correction with a HD TV

    Can I use my new Panasonic HD TV model TH-42PX80U as a NTSC monitor for secondary color correction using both Final Cut Pro out of a Macbook Pro intel? What cable I can use to conect via HDMI? Will the color acuracy will be similar to that of a NTSC color correction monitor? will my TV do a decent job for NTSC? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
    I am not sure I have this HDMI cable to be use in my macbook pro does it comes with it?

    I have to go back to the avid because they work on avid: adding titles, outputting to digibeta and so on
    FCP does all this..there are hundreds of editors and facilities doing this daily, on broadcast television shows. I have been doing this for over 2 years.
    As far as I know, there is compression-decompression going to tape and back even in fcp, so there IS a little loss.
    Where did you hear that? It is incorrect. Outputting via a capture card to digibeta results in no quality loss whatsoever.
    If you have an "official" source of information saying otherwise, please do let us know.
    I looked at the AJA website and Decklink website and neither of them say that they compress-decompress upon output. If footage is captured via firewire, there is no quality loss, as was done on the Avid...and similarly with FCP. If you capture with a capture card as a different codec, it will compress it into that codec, but depending on the codec, there is little loss, nothing you'd notice. But Avid does the same thing, capturing to a different codec will result in unnoticable loss in quality. Outputting DV to digibeta...there will be a conversion to the digibeta format, that is unavoidable...on AVID as well as FCP. But again, unnoticable.
    Can you point to an "official" Avid site that says there is no compression-decompression upon output?
    the broadcast safe filter doesnt cut illegal blacks, cuts off only the values that are too high.
    Uhm...where did you hear that? It cuts off the top and bottom. Although I don't rely on this solely...I color correct each clip until it falls within range, then add the Broadcast Safe filter, just in case.
    FCP handles adding titles and outputting to digibeta, but then you'd need to invest in a capture card. But, since you are in DV land, why not output to a DV tape and then they capture that DV tape...that is a lossless transfer?

  • Color correcting globally

    Is there anyway I can color correct a 20 page doc, (booklet) in Indesign globally? If not is there a easy work around without opening all the images in photoshop?  Cheers Zac

    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 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.

  • Workflow for Green Screen Multicam, Color Correction. (CC 2014)

    Hi
    What is the best workflow to do a music video shot with 7 cameras (each with 4 takes) on a green screen which would also include green screen stills.
    All shot with Consumer Grade cameras at 1920/1080 at the highest resolution (I think 30 fps)
    The way I am going about is not efficient.
    My tasks are:
    Key each 20 minute clip (to get about 2 usable minutes)
    Rotate my DSLR video (shot in landscape so I could take stills as well)
    Color correct all clips
    Create a new cleaned up movie for each clip including: Proper format. Keyed with new background, Color Corrected, Re-encoded as a new movie, Re-imported as 7 new movies, begin to edit.
    I was watching some movies about pasting attributes which look helpful and also about nesting sequences which looks like it could save time.
    What is the best workflow steps to do all this? Am I going about it the right way by creating new movie clips which are keyed with a new background, color corrected, and reencoded including all the garbage footage? Then create a new multicam project to edit the cleaned up footage?
    HELP!

    Temporary solution for this was "export xml" after all. I had to disable all graphics and textlayers and delete colorcorrections, and flatten multicam, so i had to redo all grading ja graphics stuff in older premiere after importin FCP xml. But got the work done in time. Won't use cc 2014 in near future unless someone figures out what is wrong with green frames. (well actually now im exporting from older AME, will she if the green frames pops out there too, wouldn't be too much surprised....)
