Color Correction Green Film
I transfer old reel to reel film to DVD. So I have some experience with making clips lighter (bad lighting is the problem I run into most)
However, I have a reel of film that has a greenish tint to the whole thing. I don’t want to spend a ton of time on this, but does anyone have a couple of quick tips to make it a little less noticeable/even viewable? I know it is not going to look perfect. I am sure it was not stored properly or got exposed at some point.
Thank you.

A quick way to remove the greenish color: add the secondary color correction to the event (or to the whole track or project).
In the popup window that opens, you find 1 colorwheel.
Beneath the colorwheel are two pipets.
Click on the left pipet. Your mouse becomes visible as a pipet. Click with your mouse (the pipet shape) in your preview window on a part that is supposed to be black. The greenish color will disappear.If you are not satisfied with the result, just reset the effect (doubleclick on the white dot in the colorwheel) and repeat on another black spot in the preview window.

Thank you so much that made it so much better.
I ended up going through each “scene” rather than the whole reel and that made it better.
At least now, you can see the faces! -
When you would combine this secondary color correction with LEVELS and COLORCURVES, your output should become even much more acceptable.
