    Hello,
    Is there a specific order that has to be set in the automatic color corrector to achieve best results.
    For example…
    Do I white balance first, then Curves, then Black Balance?
    What order are you guys using?
    I’ve tried different orders, but when applying to multiple clips, I get strange results.
    Thanks

    Auto color correction is only a starting point, and it may have an adverse effect if setting white level and you are in a low lit scene and there you don’t have much highlights…

    That being said, when using it, I do black level first, then white, then balance as a starting point, then I go and play with curves etc. to get the look I want.
