Fixing Color in Video taken thru a Window

Poor dummy me! I have taken some footage through a window in Abu Dhabi in a tall building.
The window must have had a slight tint in it.
The footage appears to be slightly green & blue.
I have played around with various effects in PP, all to no avail.
Can some experienced editor play around with it and let me know the best settings and indeed the best effect to use
to correct this footage. I have enclosed a still of the footage & embedded code from a small video sample on
Youtube.
I am going to use an adjustment layer as there are several sequences . Using PP CS6
Thankyou

Colour correction, which doesn't require complex compositing work, can be easily done in PrPro.
Working in high bit depth yields better result, so tick 'Maximum Bit Depth' flag in your sequence settings (as well as in the Export Settings when you're done) and utilise 32-bit effects - you can filter them by toggling '32-bit Color' badge in the Effects tab.
Set your workspace to Color Correction so as to monitor scopes and waveforms while manipulating effects' settings. Understanding waveforms and scopes helps you realise what you need to do so as to achieve desired look.
Waveform of a well exposed footage with deep contrast occupies a wider range, whereas one of a footage with a weak contrast - a narrower range. So as to expand the contrast for the latter case you need to lower the 'bottom' (black point) of your waveform closer to '0' and lift its 'top' (white point) closer to '100'. You set the black point with either 'Pedestal' or 'Input Black' and white point with either 'Gain' or 'Input White'. You compensate for overall brightness of your footage after you tweaked the Pedestal and Gain with Gamma.
Waveform also clearly shows you which channels' settings to tweak and how in order to achieve proper colour balance. The more R, G and B waveforms aligned, the better the colour balance.
Here is an example for all the above with RGB Color Corrector:

  • Trouble viewing videos taken with iPhone 4s on Windows laptop

    I am having trouble viewing videos taken with my iPhone 4s on my Windows laptop.  Here are my versions:
    Windows 7
    IOS 6.1.3
    iTunes 11.0.3.0.42
    Quicktime 7.7.4
    The videos I am unable to play have been copied from my iPhone cache folder into another folder.  The first issue I noticed was the thumbnail for the videos are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise in both folders.  The videos were taken with the camera in the portrait position, as opposed to the camera being held sideways or the landscape position.
    I tried to play the videos using iTunes and an error saying " iTunes has stopped working.  Checking for a solution".  Then I get, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  Sadly, no solution has been sent to me.
    If I try to use QuickTime, the videos "attempt" to play but the audio skips and locks or the video skips and locks.  Eventually, the video completely stops.  Also, there is a green bar on the left of the screen the runs from top to bottom.  This bar is not visible in any other views of the videos.
    If I try to use Windows Media Player, the videos play great, except they are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, like the thumbnails.
    All of the videos still play perfectly on my iPhone 4s.
    Thank you all in advance for your help.

    One week and 41 views later, no one has a fix for this?  Or is no one else encountering this issue??
    Come on Apple!  Step in on this one.

  • When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees.  It makes a difference depending how I hold the iPhone when taking videos.  Help!!!

    Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this.  I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

    What is the driver version for your NVIDIA GeForce GT640?
    There is a known issue specific to Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA GeForce. The Announcement at the top of this forum tells it all - detailed description of problem, references, fixes, and fix details.
    The following is a copy paste of that Announcement....
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card
    and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your
    first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that
    it is up to date.  
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and
    unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer
    has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back
    the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver
    roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10.
    Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.   
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675  
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found  NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search   
    A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for
    the driver roll back can be found  http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
    Please refer to the following for the driver version history of your NVIDIA card
    Based on history, you should be using
    GeForce 320.18 Driver
    320.18

    Please review and consider and then let us know the results.

  • Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 Can not play Video taken with ...

    It is quite amazing that software by Nokia can not replay Video taken with phone by Nokia.
    VLC player plays the video OK so the video (MP4) looks to be all right.
    All thet Ovi says is that the video can not play. Format may not be supported .

    I have the same problem, in that I can't get my video's recorded on the phone to play.  If I try to double-click and play within Ovi Suite it crashes Ovi Suite, if I open Windows Media Player and try and run it then WMP crashes too (is Ovi Suite using WMO under the skin?) and the best I can get is when I try it with QuickTime I get sound from it but just  black screen for the video.
    So yes, I suspect it's a problem on my PC but can anyone give ideas on how to fix it?

  • Video freezes Mac to Windows

    Every time I make a video call to either my mom or my daughter my video freezes after about 20 - 60 seconds after which they can no longer see me. I can still see them and they can still hear me fine—just no video from me. Both my mom and daughter can use video chat with each other using their Windows clients with no issues. Now that my daughter is home from college I was able to test with her computer on the same network as my Mac. I disabled her Windows firewall and tested with the exact same results. This rules out her firewall blocking video from me.
    My Computer:
    OS X Yosemite
    Version 10.10.1
    Mac mini (Mid 2011)
    Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Skype Version 7.2 (412)
    External Web Cam
    iBuffalo BSW50KM01H
    This camera is specifically tailored and advertised to be compatible with Skype which is why I bought it. It works perfectly with Photo Booth and perfectly with FaceTime
    My Daughter’s Computer:
    HP Pavilion 15-b142dx
    Processor: AMD A6-4455M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.10 GHz
    Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
    Windows 8.1
    Skype Version 7.0.0.102
    This issue has been ongoing ever since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks and now with OS X Yosemite which is almost two years. The frequency of use is low enough that I’ve just been waiting for a fix (which I’ve come to realise won’t happen without my complaining and log files). This issue happens every time I try to video call to a Windows client. It never happens when I video call to another Apple device with Skype installed like iPhone. Let me be clear, this ONLY happens when I try to video chat, using Skype, to Windows clients…and it’s EVERY TIME.

  • Can't edit video taken with iPhone 3GS?

    I have a .MOV file taken with an iPhone 3GS. I've saved it to my desktop, and opened iMovie '09. First problem is it won't let me drag and drop the movie into the project area; it just bounces. Then I tried the explicit import function. Now the movie is in the bottom window area (as a "New EVENT"), and I can scrub through and play it, but if I select a portion of it the "trim to selection" is greyed out.
    How am I supposed to edit this video?
    Thanks in advance!

    Okay, I figured it out myself. In case someone else runs into this:
    Use the explicit File->Import function to get the video into the bottom window area.
    Select the portion of the video you want to keep.
    There's a button to the left on the row of buttons just above the bottom window area. That adds the selection to the project. Now you can work with it.
    Hope that helps some other iMovie newb.

  • Can't play video taken with iPad, sent by email

    I've taken a video with my iPad 2, V6.0. I've tried attaching it to an email to send to myself, because people say they can't open any of the videos I send them. They're right! I can't either. The thumnail shows the video on my PC--windows 7 (64), but only audio plays, not any video. I've tried both Realplayer & Quicktime. Both the same result.
    In a similar vein.....why are our pictures turned sideways when people receive them in their email??
    Thanks for reading. Thanks for answers!

    Pamela,
    There is a compatibility issue between QuickTime 7.7.2 in Windows and iOS 6-emailed videos.
         it's the combination of all three of the above underlined items.
    also see: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19727109#19727109
    or CoachMyVideo.com for an alternative: http://www.coachmyvideo.mobi/#!ios6/c13th
    the sideways pictures has to do with whether or not the recepient's viewer can read the rotation matrix --> the information about what orientation the iOS device was in when it was recorded.

  • My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognize video taken on my new iPad, is there a way to resolve this?  I would like to take movies on my iPad and make movies in iMovie on my iMac.

    My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognized videos taken on my new iPad.  Is there a way to correct this, or perhaps I am doing something incorrect.  When I connected my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto popped up, but not iMovie.

    You have to import the movie into iTunes via iOS file sharing, then drag the movie from the file sharing window in iTunes to the desktop, then you can import the movie into iMovie. Here are the details.

  • Why can't I email videos taken with iphone 4 from my mac

    Why can't I email videos taken with my iphone 4 from my Mac? It says the video is to big or long but the particular one I am trying to send is only 1 min 16 sec long. I don't remember having this problem with my 3gs. I am trying to email them with my yahoo act, and I see this very same question was asked July of 2010, but their are no replies. It may be a very simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Surly, I don't have to reduce my videos to 30 sec or less to get them to send. Can anyone please help a gal out?

    Go into the Activity Monitor and Quit or Force Quit the Acrobat process.

  • Airplaying videos taken with the ipod touch recorder

    Has anyone had trouble getting their videos taken with the touch to show on the TV using Airplay and an AppleTV? Everything else works (movies, utube, music, etc...) but not the videos I have recorded using the touch. Anyone know the fix?

    Be sure to access the Camera Roll from the Photos app instead of from the Camera app.

  • How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9?  it has worked perfectly until last night.

    How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9?  it has worked perfectly until last night.  I have been having video calls iChat with my granddaughter for 4 weeks.  All of a sudden last night I wasn't able to complete the video/audio.  We were able to iChat with writing.  The message I got was to go to connection doctor.
    The error log -
    2011-04-24 19:33:43 -0400: No data has been received for the last 10 seconds.
    Audio channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.2:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 69.138.244.124:58521

    Every time we tried to connect I got the same error message.
    I use an airport extreme - my granddaughter has some kind of wifi - but the error was on my side not hers as she connected to her friends.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hi - I have a cable modem from comcast.
    I am not sure I understand all your questions, suggestions - so I will copy what I have when I go into the airport utility under internet.
    Do you have four tabs (You may have less)  I HAVE 4 TABS
    In the First tab what does it read at the Bottom ?  AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST TAB (INTERNET CONNECTION) IT DOES SAY "SHARE A PUBLIC IP"  WHEN I LOOK AT THAT SETTING - I COULD CLICK INSTEAD BRIDGE MODE OFF, OR DISTRIBUTE A RANGE OF IP ADDRESSES.  BUT FOR NOW THE ONE THAT IT IS ON IS THE SHARE A PUBLIC IP.
    "Share a Public IP" ?
    Or "Bridge (Off) Mode" ?
    I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE INFO BELOW.  I ALSO HAVE UNDER THE INTERNET CONNECTION TAB - CONNECT USING ETHERNET AND ETHERNET WAN PORT AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT)
    THE 2ND TAB IS TCP/IP AND THERE IT LISTS CONFIGURE IPv4: USING DHCP
    IP ADDRESS: 69.138.244.124
    SUBNET MASK  255.255.248.0
    ROUTER ADDRESS  69.138.240.1
    DNS SERVER  68.87.73.246  AND 68.87.71.230  (THESE ARE FILLED IN THE BOXES AND NOT CHANGEABLE.
    THE 3RD TAB IS DHCP
    DHCP BEGINNING ADDRESS 10.0 .1 .2
    DHCP ENDING ADDRESS 10.0.1.200
    DHCP LEASE IS 1  THEN DAY
    4TH TAB NAT
    CHECKED IS ENABLE NAT PORT MAPPING PROTOCOL
    I HAVE BEEN USING THIS AIRPORT EXTREME FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
    THE ONLY DIFFERENT ISSUE IS THAT I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AND USED MY DAUGHTER'S AIRPORT EXTREME LAST WEEK.  I HAVE NO IDEA ANY OF THAT INFO - BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE AIRPORT EXTREME LISTED IN THE UTILITY IS THE ONE AT MY HOME THAT I AM WITH NOW.
    THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO HELP ME.  I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
    JUDY
    Between that drop down and the tabs should be the info  on how it connects to the Modem.
    It may list that Puiblic IP.
    It may list another LAN IP (one from the Modem)
    Does it start 192.168....
    Or 172.16 (or up to 172.32....)
    Or possibly another 10.... number ?
    If the modem is issuing IPs to the LAN there are two things that can  effect things
    One is the fact the computer gets two IPs (even though the mac can only display one)
    And If you used Port Forwarding in the Modem the Place (IP/Computer or device) that it was pointing to may not be the Airport Base Station any more.

  • Can I view videos taken on my Ipod Touch on Apple TV?

    You will have to import the video into your iTunes library and convert it to an AppleTV version. You can find this option in the Advanced menu in iTunes ->create iPad or AppleTV version
