    I have some shots in a certain scene that were done during a cloudy overcast day, then some shots in the same scene are in more of a sunny day. Is there anyway to match the two? If this is not an after effects issue, let me know what program would be best.
    thanks

    After Effects can be used to do color correction very well. Synthetic Aperture’s Color Finesse that comes bundled with AE is excellent. However, for many things you can just use combinations of other color correction effects. Curves, Levels, Hue/Saturation, CC Toner, Tint, etc.

    This tutorial, though very old in computer years, is a very good lesson on color matching.

    The weather replacement series (part one, part two, and part three) deals with changing from sunshiny day to dark storm and should have some great color ideas for you too.
