  • Borrow a clip from other projects – remove color correction

    Posted by Loren Risker on October 11, 2012 at 8:18 pm

    Sorry if we’ve already gone over this, or if I’m making a dumb mistake, but I’m really stumped here.

    I’m making a teaser by pulling clips from other projects and pasting them into my teaser clip.

    Any clip I grab retains its color correction (good) but when I go to change it, it only corrects on top of that. No way to manipulate the original color correction done in the previous project, I can only add a new layer of color correction.

    Has anyone figured a way around this? I could go to the clips itself and figure out the ins and outs, but I’m curious as to why the color correction seems to get baked in when moving from project to project.

    Have you tried Relinking the clip?

    What kind of color correction are you talking about? Color board changes or auto balance and match? Balance and match don’t make changes to the color board and are not user adjustable. It would certainly be nice if they were, but they’re not. They can be turned off or redone, but they can’t be adjusted, no matter if they’re in their original project or copied to another.

    If you’re talking about color board, I see no reason why copying and pasting clips would lose their ability to be edited. If that’s the case it would be a bug for sure.

    It’s all color correction I did myself.

    So when you click on the little arrow to go into the color board, what happens? Everything is net back to neutral?

    No, even if I turn color correction off, the previous CC is retained.
