  • Adding Color Correction after a Multi Cam rough cut

    Posted by John Frey on February 21, 2008 at 7:52 pm

    DOH! I used Vegas 8 Multi Cam on a 2 cam event. Did not color correct the 2 separate camera captures before cutting in Multi Cam as I should have done. Having to set a saved custom setting I created for each of the two cams for every event – needless to say, extremely time consuming – I know better! Any workarounds in Excalibur, perhaps?

    Forgot to mention that ‘paste attributes’ willl not work for this as I still have to open the effect on each clip to access the custom setting from the dropdown.

    My workflow is CUT first then COLOR. Since you have presets you can do a couple of things. One is put camera 1 footage on track 1 and cam 2 footage on track 2. Then put your CC presets onto TRACK level. The other thing is put your CC into the clips in the MEDIA BIN. Either one should take care of it.

    The correct procedure using Vegas’ built-in multi-cam would be to add the color correction to the media itself in the Project Media. That will affect that particular media no matter where it is on the timeline.

    How exactly would you go about doing that?

    When you add your color correction, do it in the PROJECT MEDIA tab to that media instead of anywhere on the timeline.
