color correction
Yo Cows
Any body got any time saving tips on color correction. I have a stop frame animation and there are descrepencies in the white balance between frames so the white changes from blue tones to yellow, as do the greens. Any body know a quick way to smooth this out ?? . I suppose i could match every still in Photoshop but it will be rather time consuming and i want to get this out the door by end of play today….
Thanks in advance
love you
Chris

It mght just be faster to do the frames in one by one in photoshop using adjustment layers: you can just sample the same grey or white every time by one click, using the eye-droppers in the levels or curves window.
A shame After effects doesn’t offer that. -
Thanks for the advice guys..
looks like either way i got my work cut out.
The flicker is good i agree but the changing shadows and and light through the trees do a fine job of this with out the shots chaging hue..Anyway through chalenges we learn i guess
