"Yellow" Footage

Need some help. I am editing wedding video that was shot by someone else. The problem is that one of the cameras was not set up correctly, so the video from that camera has a "yellow" tint to it.
Unfortunately I have not done a lot of color correction, so I don't know where to begin. I'm pretty sure that the camera had the white balance set to the wrong type of light source.
Thanks.

Jason, start with the Video Effect "Fast Color Corrector". Just drag it out to the clip in question. Then in the Effect Controls pane, you'll see a big colour wheel. Just drag the crosshair in the centre of the wheel out towards the blues and you'll find a good compromise. (make sure your playhead is over the clip in question while you're doing this).

  • Help !!! .. SERIOUS white balance issue, footage is yellow !!

    Hello guys,
    Im an avid reader of these forums but never actually posted. We shot some motorsport this weekend however something happened in terms of white balance on one of the cameras.
    The footage has a VERY yellow cast ... We are still injesting at the moment so i've not tried to fix it as yet however I've attached a couple of pics to show you the difference. Bizarrely both these shots are from the same camera, we aren't sure if the operator did something or just that the camera had a 'moment' however the yellow footage is unfortunately the finals .. and key to the piece we are producing.
    Any advice or help would be very appreciated.
    Regards
    Stephen
    Decent shot ..

    YELLOW !!! .. as i say this is from the same camera !!

    apply the three way color corrector to a bad shot. double click it in the timeline to open it in the viewer. go to the graphical interface. Next to the wheel on the right is a little eyedropper or whatever-- not in front of my edit system- sorry. Find a piece of what you know to be white in the shot, make sure it is NOT blown out, but properly exposed. Click that with the eyedropper and you should magically get close not exact to the good footage. Whatever you do will be a compromise. Get used to it.

  • Yellow Cast to HVX200 Footage in FCP - but fine on NTSC Monitor

    Dear Folks:
    I am shooting two cameras with an HVX200 and an HMC150 in a room where the only light source is daylight-bulbed Kinoflos. The lights are fixed, as it the set. Nothing changes. There are no windows.
    I have two NTSC monitors, both set to camera bars.
    I use manual white balance. I use a big white card (a foamcore board).
    The first day, the image looked perfectly white balanced on the NTSC monitors. We ingested the footage through Final Cut Pro. It matched the look we saw on the NTSC monitors on several macs.
    The second day, however, the image had a YELLOW cast to it when ingested via Log and Transfer.
    Why would it look clean and white on the NTSC monitors and yellow on various macs?
    Thanks!

    First off, are you saying there is a difference between Day One and Day Two...? or...
    Just a difference between NTSC and mac display?
    Are there any common values in the days that can be sampled and compared numerically? For example some thing "white" in day one is R=235, G=235, B=235 and on day two is R=235, G=235, B=190?
    Two other things off the top of my head might be the white balance went away overnight (if you didn't balance again on the second day), or one of your kinos went "sour".
    Not likely but you may be getting a subtractive dynamic contrast in the shadows?
    Or, more likely, there is a white point difference between the NTSC monitors and the macs. Generally speaking, most macs set for broadcast-emulation sit around D65, while many, many ntsc monitors can range from D65 all the way up to about 9500, which is VERY blue, but your eye-brain adapts to that and then it becomes a VERY bright "white".... against which everything else will look yellow.

  • AVCHD footage, Timeline is yellow and will not render past a certain point ??

    Hello,
    I am using Cs5, and footage is from a Sony NXCAM, AVCHD, 1920x1080i.  Anyway, all the footage is the same, about 60 minutes worth.
    I have an good video card, the 3800 so I am able tyo use the Mercury engine. And I have started this project twice now from scratch, with the same results each time.
    From the onset, the clips I put on the timeline create the 'yellow' bar, even though the settings I use match my footage exactly. (Strange)
    Some of the transitions I use turn the yellow area to red, and it doesn't play back well unless I render the entire work area. All is well until about 12-15 minutes in, then when I ask the software to render the entire work area it no longer does.  It just starts playiong the timeline like it already did it.  But the small red and yellow portions are still there.
    So why it won't render betond a certain point is very puzzing!
    I took about 40 minutes of footage directly to Encore and was able to put the whole timeline, red parts and all on to a Blue Ray disc.
    I then exported the mixed colored timeline to media encoder, I wanted to create a smaller SD file for DVD and 'encoder' only encoded the green area of the timeline, about 12 minutes.
    Anyway, I cannot get the timeline to render after about 12-15 minutes of footage.  The time was slightly different on both projects.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    When Timeline will only Render a certain section, it is often that the WAB (Work Area Bar) has become set to less than the full Timeline. If that is the case, click the \ (Backslash key), and then Dbl-click the little block in the middle of the WAB to reset to the full Timeline.
    Good luck,

  • Red Footage imports with heavy yellow cast

    Good day all,
    I am looking to import and work with some Red footage that I shot with a Red camera.  I have installed Redcode, and Redcine.  Am using CS 4.2.1, and even installed After Effects 9.0.3 to make sure that all drivers and whatnot that come with that are available.
    So with all of that, when I import Red footage, it comes up with a sever yellow cast.  However, when i look at the same R3D files through redcine, it is fine, needs some tweaking, but fine overall.
    What am i missing?

    I dont know what to say except what Jim already said to get what you really want... and even then I would look at the new Avid thing and the peripherals it supports ( and color grading etc ) on a mac ( so you can use import and export prores )
    videoguys has some good info about the new avid thing ( 6 ? ) and whats supported etc. re: peripherals.
    The only good thing about PPro right now IMO is photoshop and after effects and that sort of "suite " handling of stuff. In a perfect world you would have EVERYTHING... more than one platform to work from ( pc  mac ) and more than one editing program etc.
    redcine x is gonna give you your export ( probably mov animation for your ppro version ? ) and now you're already dealing with stupid color spaces that dont match and so on... so it doesnt matter what you do in redcinex really.
    Upgrade to ppro 5.5 and deal with that ... direct from files and bypassing redcine... see how it works. Or find frames to find a white balance that works OK in PPro version you have.  A lot of work ...cause you'll have to make cuts probably to fine tune.
    Sorry.. is the way it is. FCP handled it better as prores.. but that program has bit the dust lately too... leaving you with this (newest version, not your version ) or avid now or the older version fcp.  Part of what you're dealing with is the 32bit and newer 64bit stuff... not to mention a ton of other things.
    good luck

    Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
    Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

  • Random Artefacts with AVCHD/Mpeg Footage

    Hi,
    I have an issue with rendering an edit that contains .m2t clips (Windows explorer says they have AVCHD-Codec). I'm editing with Premiere Pro CS 5.5 on a Windows 7 Home OS. 
    The footage is HD 1920 x 1080i25.  A recording of a live perfomance of a band on a music-stage.
    Everytime I export the project-sequence to various formats (Mpeg2, Mp4, WMV) I get these artefacts/glitches on the finished clip. They are also occuring when editing in Premiere.
    It's only affecting the video, the audio on the other hand is fine. They look slightly different after each render-export process and depend on the output-codec. But they always appear at the same point of time. The artefacts  last about 3 to 10 frames each time and sometimes only parts of the image are affected. For example: a horizontal bar (let's say 1/10 of the image) pixelating the image and blurring the pixel or giving parts of the picture a ghosting look.
    However the raw footage is alright and contains no glitches or video artefacts. Plus they didn't appear right of the bat after importing the footage into Premiere. It took some time before the first glichtes arrived. Approximately after 1-2 days of editing.
    I tried watching these exported clips in different players. But always got the same result. Mostly the artefacts appear right after a cut in the video. None of the affected clips have effects or changes applied to them. However I managed to eliminate artefacts of some clips by adding effects or changes (eg. scale value 1% up, adding brightness/contrast effect, or just changing the field dominance) to the affected clips and deleting them again, to make Premiere render the clips anew. Since the clips are neither yellow nor red in the timeline.
    My sequence settings are set to video-preview: "I-frame mpeg only" and 25fps timecode.
    I hope for some help around here.
    Is it Premiere's render technique or settings that are to blame?

    This is certainly not normal or a missed setting.  Try this:
    1. Open PP and create a new empty project.
    2. Go to Edit>Preferences>Media and take note at the top of where the Media Cache files are stored on your system.
    3. Below that, Clean the Media Cache Database.
    4. Close down PP.
    5. Use Windows Explorer and delete the Media Cache files you located in step 2.
    6. Restart PP and open the project.  Wait for file processing to finish.

  • I'm a bit confused. Since my original camera format was 720/60p, and I converted the footage to Pro Res422 in order to edit in Final Cut Pro 7, should I convert back to a higher quality format before sending the file to DVD Studio Pro?

    I'm a bit confused. Since my original camera format was 720/60p, and I converted the footage to Pro Res422 in order to edit in Final Cut Pro 7, should I convert back to a higher quality format before sending the file to DVD Studio Pro? If so, which Compressor codec is best to use in order to preserve the original 720/60p?   How do I maintain the highest quality?

    No...ProRes is a high quality format. Finishing format.  Many TV networks take that as a final deliverable. 
    BUT...DVDs aren't high definition...they are SD.  You cannot make a 720p60 DVD with DVD Studio Pro.  Any DVD you make will be SD...720x480.  The only HD DVD format out there is BluRay, and for that you need a BluRay burner.
    As for making a high quality DVD...using the BEST QUALITY settings in Compressor will work:

    Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
    The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
    1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
    2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
    3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
    4. Now, select the green one, right click on it and select the top option "first play".
    5. Now drag your QT from the browser and drop it on top of the green monitor.
    6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
    7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
    THATS ALL!!!
    NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing.  Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps.  Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

  • Proper sequence settings for importing Canon Rebel T2i footage

    Greetings, all. I searched the forum and didn't find this question answered elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask.
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, version 4.2.1, and I'm trying to find the ideal sequence settings for the Canon Rebel T2i, which records in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, with adjustable frame rate. I am running on Apple Mac OSX 10.8.2.
    I've been editing with this footage for over a year now, and it's always been a struggle because I have to render all footage before I can even play it in Premiere. When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow.
    I'd like to see if I'm doing this incorrectly; to know if I have a simple sequence setting that's incorrect. What sequence settings should I use for my imported footage to start out green and not require a lengty render for video that isn't even edited yet?
    Thank you,
    -Matt

    >When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow
    I think this is written for CS5, but the concept should be the same

  • Best way to Export HD footage for SD DVD

    Hi all,
    I have a Sony HDV-HC7 camera and record everything in HD. I've captured the footage into final cut pro as HDV - 1080i60, then did some editing on the time line. Then, I went to File + Export + QuickTime Movie... This is where I'm lost. What should my Setting drop down be if I want to import to DVD Studio Pro and burn to SD DVD.
    Thanks in advance.

  • AE replaced footage doesn't pre-render properly

    Currently I'm working on a project that has various visual effects which I've composited in After Effects. I've done this, after editing the project in Premiere CS5.5, by selecting "Replace footage with After Effects composition" in the context-menu of the selected clip.
    Now I've completed the effects in AE and by the power of the amazing Dynamic-Link I can see the effects in Premiere! But there's a slight problem, the parts of footage that were edited in AE have a yellow bar above them, unless an other clip overlaps with it (in that case it's green).
    So my question is: How do I pre-render these clips properly so I can preview them in real-time?

    The yellow bar is normal. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773101
    No need to render a yellow bar, that plays in real time.

  • Yellow warning signs with ! in it

    I am working in imovie-- do not know what I did-- but in my project libary one of my movies have the yellow warning sign with ! in it--- when I try to watch the movie all that comes is --sourse clip is missing, sign. Please help me as I want to keep the movie

    One possibility for the yellow warning sign in the Project Library is that you have deleted the event or the clip that the library used for the video. When you import video, the raw footage goes into the event library. Then you use those events to create a project. If you do that and then go ahead and delete the clip from the event library, you will get the warning sign you mentioned. You won't be able to make any more changes to your project. I'm not even sure if the project will continue to work properly.

  • How to get rid of the yellow triangle?

    Hi
    I have recently cleaned up a folder with lots of footage in on an external drive. This is because lots of the files were not used in the final cut, and I wanted to free up some space. Now only the files used in the final cut are on the drive.
    BUT - it shows on the event folder within FCPX that there are missing files. I have deleted the shortcuts in finder, and deleted the files within FCPX, which were showing as offline. But the yellow triangle still will not go away. WHY??
    Thanks in advance!

    That toolbar/ct plugin causes problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • Export Settings for HD footage

    Hello,
    Please excuse my lack of knowledge........
    Basically I have finished my project, which was shot on a Panasonic AGHMC41E and edited on FCP Studio, clips were format DVCProHD.
    I am looking to find out the best quality Export Settings so I dont loose pic quality or encounter pixelation.
    So the footage is HD but I only want it for SD DVD
    I am looking for the QT Movie Setting Options for:
    Compression type:
    Motion:
    Date Rate: ie restrict too etc..
    Additional advice is welcome....

    If your audio has an issue which remains consistent throughout the track, then just deal with it in the timeline using FCP Audio filters. However, for intermittent audio harshness, you will want to export your audio into Soundtrack Pro.
    Go through the audio looking at the Spectrum View, narrowing the frequency spectrum a bit so you can see what you're doing, like 80 - 10K. The "harsh sounding" audio will show a bright color. In my setup, that color is yellow. Draw rectangular boxes around the yellow audio "clouds" and reduce the Amplitude by a percentage, but not too much!
    The audio should sound better after the offending frequencies have been reduced to an appropriate level. Just don't make your rectangles too tall because tallness means a wider swath of the frequency spectrum will be affected and it can begin to sound noticeably weird, so be careful. The affect should sound smooth when you play it back.
    I hope that helps.

  • Premiere CS5 + AVCHD = Yellow bar problem?

    I just wanted to ask, if this is normal or what I'm doing wrong, because I never had this problem with CS4. After I recorded some footage with my Canon HFs100 (AVCHD 1920x1080, interpreted to 25p) and I tried to edit it on Premiere(sequence: AVCHD 1920x1080, 25fps) , I always get that yellow bar, which  indicates that there is a mismatch between footage properties  and sequence settings.
    In Premiere Cs4, I always intepret the footage at fisrt, because the way HFS100 captures video and the it works just fine without yellow/red bar, but in CS5, I still get that yellow bar. Why?
