Color Correction Conundrum SOLVED!

Bruce A Johnson | 06/22

Thanks to our PVC Readers!

Many thanks to all the PVC readers that responded to my anguished plea for color correction help! You can see the before and after results above. Not perfect, but good enough for my purposes. Five readers (if you include Chris Meyer) offered ideas, but Eric Addison was both timely and pretty damn good. He even set up a small Premiere Pro sequence to be downloaded, unzipped and opened. Once the sequence was loaded, it was no big deal to save the color correction preset and re-use it in my four-camera HDV concert coverage. As you can see, the yellow was exiled and the shot was saved! Thanks, Eric!

And a tip ‘o the bike helmet to PVC readers Portishead, Jim Hines and PerroneFord for sharing their ideas too!

Edit and Optimize 2D Stereo Pairs from a 3D Video Camera or Twin Cameras with a Modified Stereo 3D Rig in After Effects CS5.5

Adobe included a 1-step option to create a 3D Stereo Camera Rig in After Effects CS5.5, to everyone’s enthusiasm for a simpler workflow in 3D space. Great if you are working in 3D space in After Effects, but what about an easy option for 3D Stereo pairs captured by a 3D camera…

Revisiting the RED workflow, Smoke 2012 style

This was a very instructive article for me - I downloaded, opened and looked at the 3 way color corrector preset that Eric Addison provided and I learned a lot from mimicking his settings. Thanks Eric.

Similar articles dealing with real world situations - using Adobe production tools - would be awesome on this forum. For instance, today I had to edit a piece of audio recorded with consumer level wireless equipment - there was an interference buzz - I got it to an “acceptable” point using Sound Booth and making a noise print - but - I know it could probably be a lot better.

Hi, Jim -

I agree that more “real world” case studies would be a good thing.

As for your buzz issue, I know your situation required you to fix it in post, but I also wrote a couple of articles on the past about how to deal with hum and buzz in a proactive manner:

Karl Soule posted a color correction article on PVC a few weeks ago. http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/adobe/story/8-bit_10-bit_32-bit_and_more/

—should have said that the color correction article is for Premiere Pro.

Chris Meyer, thanks for those links - I read them and then forwarded them on to the guy who does the shooting - I appreciate it. Also, thanks for all the stuff I’ve learned from you over at ArtBeats and elsewhere. : - )

Stereo 3D Video Production with GoPro

Using the GoPro HD Hero2 and the 3D Hero System with CineForm Software

Whether you love it or hate it, 3D Stereography is here for awhile. And if you’re totally into it like I am, you quickly realize that there are few turnkey workflows out there to capture and process 3D Stereo video that’s easy to setup, shoot and edit Stereo pairs.…
