Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid Symphony Colour Correction feature requests

 

Undoubtedly, it depends on what you're doing. It can be hard to find a way to use relational CC in independent, low budget, verite documentary. Things are changing ever time you blink. But I can certainly imagine a lot of other situations where the lighting is more controlled that it would make a lot of sense.

Not having to look at every shot is the double edged sword of ant relatioinal
color correction. While you might not see every shot effected right away you
will eventually see the shots watching down the timeline. This is why I augment
the clip names to "group" similar shots. Of course there are the occassional
iris shift requiring a break of the color correction link but I've found the
speed gain to outway the risks. I will admidt it's an aquired taste but after a
while it becomes second nature.

addition to 'tape', 'master clip', 'subclip', 'clip name' - and call it
something like 'CC groups' or even 'bin'. This would enable you to grade MUCH
BETTER and MORE QUICKLY by grouping together shots which have the same set up as
each other (without having to resort to changing clip names). In an ideal
scenario, the Avid would be able to 'group' these clips automatically (based on
shot content) - OR assist you to group them yourself. The icing on the cake
would then be for the Avid to then feed back to the operator how many shots you
are grading at any one time - and even show you where the 'grouped' shots are in
the timeline.
