Keyframes in Color Corrector

Hi,
I'm new to the forum, so apologies if this is a stupid question. My problem is this, I am able to apply the Color Corrector filter in Final Cut Express 4 to an entire clip, but don't seem to be able to add keyframes in order to vary it.
The manual shows Keyframe controls sitting between the Numeric button and the Enable/Disable checkbox, but this is missing in my Color Correction controls. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Mary

Hi(Bonjour)!
Assuming that you see the visual tab of color corrector, look at the upper left part, there is an eye icon. At the left of this icon there is a diamond shaped point. Click it to add a keyframe.
You can use the pen tool and click directly in the mini timeline at the right of the eye icon to add keyframe.

How to keyframe the color correction

Hi!
Is there any way to do keyframing in color correction, but use a pen tool in motion tab for each individual parameter separetly?
User manual gives an impression that it might be possible to make keyframes in color correctors visual view:
http://koti.welho.com/tsuonio1/Color-Corrector-missing-but.jpg
So that when there is a clip where exposure changes, it could be corrected in color corrector, and add the keyframe so that values changes gradually from previous keyframe.

Thanks for answering.
In a way it does automatically add keyframes:
I have a *color corrector* tab in a separate window, and everytime I make changes in it, the new keyframe appears in filters tab graph-line-indicator of that particular parameter.

Color Corrector?

can you use key frames when using the color corrector, like say i want to have a video in black and white, then fade to color. Can i do that?

What version of FCE are you using? You can animate the filters by applying keyframes. Apply one to the desaturate filter at the point where you want it to be B&W. Go to where you ant it to in color, and change the value to 0. This is for FCE3.5 or later.

Color Corrector Window

Does any one know how to keep the color corrector window open. I am running dual monitors and would like to keep my color corrector window open, but everytime I click on a new clip in the view it reverts back to the viewer and dissapears from my second monitor.
Same with the motion and filters tabs.

If you mean the colour corrector visual filter, it is a filter, so it applies to one specific clip. If you CC another clip, that is another filter (even if copied) and therefore is operational when it's clip is selected. The motion/filters/audio tabs are removeable, so you can float them around both monitors, but I don't think it's possible to set the specific tabs to which each window will open.
You could nest all your clips, and CC the nested sequence, resulting in one tab for all clips, but the alterations would be the same to all clips, so that's not very practical, unless you like keyframing more than opening tabs.

Color Corrector's Frame Viewer Split Not Showing Up On External Monitor

Kind've a long title - sorry - but . . . here's my question:
Why am I not able to see the Frame Viewer's split on my external monitor?
A further, more detailed explanation of the problem:
I recently purchased Ripple Training's Color Correction with Andrew Balis. It's very, very imformative and I think will help a lot when it comes time to begin color correcting the feature I'm working on. The section I'm on shows the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window that presents itself when one opens Color Correction under the Arrange area. In other words, Arrange>Color Correction sets up your windows for color correcting with your Viewer, Canvas, and Tool Bench windows aligned from left to right. When one opens up the 3 Way Color Corrector on a clip and makes a change in the clip, the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window will show a split screen where on one side you'll have your clip with the color correction you just did, and the other side un-color corrected. Isn't this (split) image supposed to show up in your external monitor just as the images in the Canvas and the Viewer?
That doesn't seem to be happening on my external monitor.
I'm not sure if this problem/issue I'm having is related to the muticlipl issue I posted in an earlier thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1330596&tstart=0
perhaps.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Javier Calderon

Ahhh, Shane. So it's as simple as that? So then there's nothing wrong with my setup or my external monitor? FCP's just not designed to show the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer image in your external monitor? Wow . . . Well that answers that then I guess. And you're right . . . that IS indeed kind've lame . . .
Thanks.
Javier
. . . um . . . doesn't that kind've defeat the purpose of proper color correction then (regarding the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer anyway)? If the only place you can see your color corrected Frame Viewer split images is on a monitor that's NOT suited for color correction? Anyway . . . just a thought . . .

Why can't I see the keyframes in color over stroke?

Why can't I see the keyframes in color over stroke? I am trying to adjust a heart beat monitor effect I created. I started with a bezier line and gave it a light streak #3 style. In the Color Over Stoke shape window I can click the arrows left and right to jump from KF to KF but they will not appear as editable points in the keyframe editor. I wonder if this is a bug?
Thanks
Wilson

Here's what I did to see them
-Added a line shape
-Dropped Light Steak 3 style on the line layer in the layer list.
-Selected the line and in the inspector, went to Shape>Stroke>Color over stroke.
-Selected the first color tag in the gradient.
-At the far right side of the color parameter, clicked the downward facing arrow and selected "Show in Keyframe Editor" option.
The keyframes show up in the keyframe editor. Repeat for each color or opacity tag as needed.

Color Corrector & Image Quality Issues

I have been putting some color corrector on some clips and after rendering, the quality is very skippy. Even after exporting to quicktime. I'm fine with it skipping in FCE, but when I export , I want it to be as clear as possible and no skipping. How do I accomplish that? Do I need to export a certain format?
I also have been placing images in my timeline from Keynote, exported to TIFF for best quality. When rendered, these images also look very bad. What image format does FCE play nicest with? SO that I can put in these images with no loss of quality.
Any tips for either would be very helpful.

Here are the properties to the best I can understand them from the clip browser. Frame-1920x1080, Vid Rate- 29.97fps, Compressor- apple intermediate codec, data rate- 17.6 MB/sec, aud rate- 48 khz, aud format- 16-bit integer, field dominance- upper(odd).
Sequence is exactly the same except aud format- 32-bit floating point.
Not sure if that is what you're looking for? This particular clip is too bright and my subject has shine on his face. When rendered, I view the playback in the Canvas window, that is where I notice the skipping. It is the same in the Viewer window when rendered.

Premiere Pro stops rendering and gives error message when encounters "RGB Color Corrector"

Premiere Pro (and also Encore) stops rendering and gives error message when it encounters a clip containing the "RGB Color Corrector" in any clip. It will process clips without RGBCC, but will stop when it gets to one with RGBCC activavted. PP will render clips if other effects, such as "Fast Color Corrector", "Color Balance (HLS)", and "Three-Way Color Corrector" are selected. However, these do not have the capabilities that The other color correctors will not do what RGB color corrector does, so I need to have this working to finish a large product that is due to the client. Please help me..... I am not using the Creative Cloud version, and can't find either a download for the new update from 2013, or a phone number to talk to anyone.

Using a Win7 computer with 2.8 quad core processor, 24 gig of ram, Nvidia Quadro 5000 video card. Don't think I have any plugins. I looked at one a while back for cleaning up grainy video, but I am not sure I paid for that. Think I deleted it.
Incidentally, someone named Jim on another part of the forum mentioned that this problem has been fixed in the CC version of the program. I am using the non-CC version because I am 68 years old and only do seminars and documentation video. Don't need so many bells and whistles, and definitely don't need learning curves every few weeks. CS6.0.3 works fine for me. By the way, someone else said that maybe version 6.0.1 might work better and I should revert to that. Not sure if it is the version i have on the disk upgrade to 5.5 that I purchased in December.
As it stands now, I have 7.5 hours of a seminar that is ready to go out the door. If there is an upgrade I can get from Adobe, maybe you can tell me about it. If I have a setting incorrect in the video output format, maybe I can change that. So far it just happens with clips in my video that have RGB color correction.

COLOR vs FCP - three-way color corrector adequate?

The route between FCP and Color doesn't always seem to be entirely smooth. I've realised I can get very similiar grades with the FCP color corrector.
Obviously, I don't have the scopes and displays. But I can do pretty well 'by eye'...
I assume for basic grading, there is no real difference? Any opinions?

Patrick Sheffield wrote:

I'm glad you said that.
FWW, FCP uses a YCbCr colorspace, and Color uses RGB.
For a quick comparison check this out:
http://www.fini.tv/2010/03/23/color-wheels-in-final-cut-pro-and-apples-color/
The basic idea is, when correcting in YCbCr, address luminosity (brightness)
issues first, then hue and saturation.

Three Way Color Corrector: turn off green clipping info in program monitor???

How can I turn off the green indicator in the program window, that highlights my blacks that contain no image information. I applied a three-way-color corrector via an adjustment layer. Many thanks!

Hi Joe,
I am running on a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.8.3, my graphics card is:
Chipset Model:          Intel HD Graphics 3000
Type:          GPU
Bus:          Built-In
VRAM (Total):          512 MB
Vendor:          Intel (0x8086)
Device ID:          0x0116
Revision ID:          0x0009
gMux Version:          1.9.23
I shot on a flat picture profile with a Nikon D800 and played with the input levels in the 3-way-color corrector. Again, if I brighten the whole image, these indicators will disappear; if I darken the image, they will grow. It is not an artefact, it is a way to show me my crushed blacks. Like a zebra function in cameras. I just cannot find a way to turn this off.
Thanks again,
Carl

Three-Way Color Corrector Variación/Problema

Too Many Color Correctors

I added the color corrector effect to a piece of video on my timeline. I wanted to compare that to another color idea I had, so I added another color corrector effect on the same piece of video. Now, when I click on the video clip, color corrector and "color corrector - 2" are in the filter tabs. How can I eliminate "Color corrector - 2"? If I add another color corrector, it's called "Color Corrector - 3". Now that I decided which color I like, I want to clean up my tabs.

Thanks, Tom. To be more specific for future users, just go into the Filters tab. Right click on the filter you want to remove and click "cut". This will remove the filter.

Color corrector 3 way not working on final cut 7.0.3 what should i do?

Hi can any one help me I'm having an issue with my color corrector 3 way. It won't work?? I am using final cut pro 7.0.3 Mac OS X. I have also had a issue with rendering a sequence I kept getting Render manager even thought I cleaned everything out. I would really appreciate any help.

The usual cause of not seeing Color Correction is the user is looking at the the wrong clip or has applied the CC to the wrong version of a clip.
For CC not to be working, none of your effects would be working.
Can't help you with the render question. You have not provided any useful information.

Fast Color Corrector Edit Effects to a Video Clip --- need help, please

I am editing a single video clip. The clip is too dark, even though I used a video light. Classroom in a Book, page 298 recommends to apply the Fast Color Corrector. I tried...BUT as book reads, the color corrector wheel should pop up and allows changes to color.????
Please help. With Thanks. Please reply with help to me by e-mail...[email protected]
Larry

Hello Mr. Hoecker:
Thanks very much for your reply and advice. I am enclosing photos to show that:
I can NOT see anything by clicking on the grey triangles.
In “Fast Color Corrector” I do NOT see a section which says…”Input Levels”
Perhaps my install of CS 6 is missing some software. I will re-install and see until you can reply on this.
This is a page from the single clip I need to lighten so the face and black dive suit shows better.
FYI: I have been an Adobe subscriber and user since there was Adobe. I try to use the Classroom in a book for CS 5 and CS 6. When stumped, I go into the book and try to find a fix. In this situation, the little triangles, etc. are NOT there where I can see them. And…YES there is a LOT that I do not know.
Many thanks.
