  • Can I keyframe and increase over time a color correction?

    Posted by Noam Osband on August 18, 2016 at 5:00 pm

    I filmed an interview using natural light and the clouds occasionally got in the way so I need to boost the exposure of some of the levels. That said, it happens gradually and I dont want to give my client a video where the color suddenly jumps.

    Any way to keyframe a color correction so I have it come and go gradually? If I can’t do this with FCP X, can I do this with Color Finale? I was thinking of getting it anyways and this might put me over the edge.

    thanks!

    Can’t do it natively with X. Best you can do with the color board is blade the clip, have two different settings on each clip, and dissolve between them.

    Probably the easiest way to achieve what you want is to place a copy of the clip on top of the original as a connected clip, then do your grading on the copy. You can then regulate the amount of grading by keyframing the opacity of the connected clip.

    I like Fedor’s approach, but wanted to add, you can also treat this problem in Apple Motion.

    Is it possible to do something like this with Color Finale?
