Correcting uneven white background
I recorded a sportswoman’s video message, using two lamps on a white backcloth to effect a total whiteout. Looked fine in the vf, but on capture into Avid Media Composer I see I wasn’t as successful around the edges of the frame as I’d hoped. A vignetting control function like in Photoshop would resolve matters – allowing me to wash-out the corners but leave my subject nicely exposed. I can’t find such a control (I also have FCP, if that has such a function). I’ve had a little play with levels and such and am not desperately impressed with my efforts thus far. So, before I continue my trial-and-error, I thought I’d post a quick cry for help!
Thank you,
Steven

What version of Avid do you have? If you have Media Composer just drop an Animatte effect on your footage and cut a rough matte around your person but cuts out the corners. Then open your title tool, use the color picker to make a giant rectangle the same white as your footage, then cut this onto a track below your footage. Feather your animatte effect until it blends into the background.
