color balanceing

[Josh Meredith]

I only have a VX2100, but I recently shot two scenes in the same location, and sloppiness with lighting resulted in vastly different coloring between the two scenes. I was able to use the Sony Color Correction plug-in to fix the scene that didn’t look right. All I did was place the cursor on the good looking scene so that it would show in the preview screen, apply color correction to the bad looking scene, and used the eye-droppers to sample “mids”, “lows” and “highs”, on the decent looking scene. I didn’t quite know what I was doing, but I was very pleased with how effectively it made the two scenes match.
