  • Any way to automatically color match cameras in CS6?

    Posted by Kell Smith on April 18, 2016 at 10:02 pm

    I’m thinking the answer is no, but it’s worth asking just in case someone knows an option for this.
    Two cameras, changing light at sunset on a gray day, and the sand has different color casts at different points. Been staring at it so long my eyes can’t see it properly anymore.
    If not I’ll just go the auto levels/auto colors route, but there are several other color correction effects applied so it never works quite right (for instance, it was a gray day at sunset, which made it too blue-gray, so I’ve warmed it up a bit more than the auto color would, etc.
    THanks in advance

    you would also need a auto white balance as well.

    I made a free after effects template
    if you enable the text layer and scroll Gamma Clamp at gamma*10 so that the text box reads 25, it will fix changing color and white balance and shadows.

    Thank you Chris,
    I’ll download that and check that out. Not sure how exactly to use it. These are my main cameras in Premiere for a half hour ceremony. Can it be used via dynamic link?
    Right now I’m exporting what will hopefully be a final file – but it wasn’t perfect.

    I think I saw somewhere on the internet that Speedgrade can match cameras… Not 100% sure.

    only matches 1 frame source to 1 frame destination. only works if both don’t change.

    Nope. Sun and exposure changes in both.
