  Posted by Kolade Balogun on October 5, 2006 at 9:00 pm

  okay…like you guyz now know, I am new to colour correction…what I wana ask now is…how do I apply color correction in AE…how do I go about it….

  somebody (video editor) ones told me that you add/do color correction frame by frame…now if I am gonna correct color frame by frame for a 30mins programme…this means I will spend a 12 month correcting color…is this true…

  I hope to read from you guyz soon…

  regards,
  ‘kk’

  Not true at all. Color correction can be keyframed, but it applies itself to the whole clip by default.

  If you’ve got AE Pro you will have a gazillion ways to make changes. There is Color Finesse, there is levels, curves, etc…

  Premiere Pro 2 has an awesome three-way color corrector, and the handy Fast Color Corrector. And a host of new features to help with CC.

  You can do secondary color correction, etc… The list goes on.

  Read the manual of AE and if you have PP, that too. It will teach you all about white balance, broadcast save colors, etc…

  ALSO go into AE 7.0 and under effects you will see a folder called Color Correction. Play with those effects so that you can see what they do.
