Re: [spam] - [Avid-L2] Color correcting different layers in a composition?

 

Hi Roberto,

If I'm understanding correctly what you want to accomplish, there are several ways:

#1:

Have just a single layer of video (V1) and use the Spot Color effect (Image category).

#2:

Have just a single layer of video (V1) and use the Paint effect (Image category). In the Mode menu you'll find Luma Range, where you can adjust  White Point, Black Point and Gamma (mid-tones).

#3:

Edit the same video on both V1 and V2. Put the color correction on V1, and use the AniMatte on V2 to reveal just the portion you want on V1 (in this case the man).

I hope that helps . . . .

Cheers,

Benjamin

I'm sure I'm missing something basic here, at least I hope so.

How do I adjust the color of an object I created an matte for using AniMatte? So it better matches the plate shot on the video track beneath it?

On V2 I have a shot of a guy in an airport. I made a matte for him using AniMatte, and it works just fine. I see the video below, but it's brighter, and my guy is darker. I just need to lighten up the guy a bit and it should work fine. Both videos were shot on the same locked-off camera, just at different times.

I option-dropped the Color Correction effect on V2 and it nested on top of the Animatte. But when I try to use it, it CC's the whole video frame, V1 and V2.

Again, I'm sure I'm missing something basic. Any light that can be shed on this would be greatly appreciated!

Roberto
