  • Applying Filters/Filter Options?

    Posted by Jody Powers on October 24, 2009 at 8:11 pm

    I am currently using Avid Media Composer (not sure which exact version since I am not at work), and I’m wondering how I can give my video a grainy, dead look (think Tim Burton) without using add-ons or other apps. Obviously, I’ve used a Color Correction filter to “mute” the colors, and I’ve darkened the video. If anyone can give me tips on how to get the look I’m going for please let me know! Thanks.

    Jody,

    Check and see if you have BCC or Boris RED in your effects. If you do, there are plenty of presets that you can customize to taste.

    throw a color effect on there, crank the brightness and contrast. You can bring down your reds and crank some blues to your liking but the brightness countered by contrast gives ya free grain.
    I’d not use the color corrector for this… the good ole color effect will give you quicker better results in this case.
