    Hello all

    I’m discovering color correction under AE and I must say that I quite like it.

    I never had the chance to try Color or dedicated systems but I guess AE can do fine most of the time… but there’s many color correction effects i’m kind of lost.

    I often use levels curves and hue/sat with sometimes CE ColorCorrector from Maltaanon.

    What about you ?
    By the way, do you use color finesse ?

    I love the basic color correction tools of After Effects, I challenge you to find much that cannot be achieved with just Levels and Hue & Saturation. Of course for anything else there’s always Curves.

    Color is a wonderful program although it’s stability is still debated whereas After Effects is very stable. But as a CC tool Color is very excellent.

    I don’t like to use Color Finesse, since I can’t think of anything that be achieved with it that isn’t possible with just those three main AE-native tools.

    One plug-in that I really enjoy though is Magic Bullet Looks, it makes quick and easy work of whatever look you’re going after and adds a nice cinematic touch; highly recommended!
