ROC filter
Hey guys,
anybody make an ROC or Digital ICE filter that works for movie film and not just stills? Got some old 16mm ektachrome that looks kinda red and was wondering of there’s a plugin or software that could help me correct. If not, what would be the best (and preferrably inexpensive) way to deal. Thanks!

Hi Rick,
I’m not sure if somebody has developed any thing like that.
It doesn’t make much sense for a video-editing application.
I think you have to point to Color, After Effects, or so.

If you have ROC for Photoshop, and if you have Photoshop Extended, you can use your filters on video layers in Photoshop.
Digital ICE is a scanner feature, and you can’t reproduce it in software. It uses infrared light to detect dust and scratches as the frame is scanned.

You could use Final Cut Pro’s built-in three-way color corrector, Apple’s Color application, or a third-party color correction plugin like Magic Bullet Colorista II.

Hi Walter,
Have you tried the new Colorista?

Yes, and I love it!
I use Colorista II all the time for color corrections in After Effects (where I only need to do a few shots at most). It’s powerful and simple to use. The keyer gives nice results quickly. The render is reasonably fast, and the quality is very high.
Check out Stu Maschwitz’s tutorials to get a sense of what you can do:

When workflow is a consideration (like longer pieces), I used to use Apple Color, and now I’m moving to DaVinci Resolve. Though Colorista II is capable of getting comparable visual results, I prefer the dedicated toolsets for more involved color work.
