Final Cut Pro White Balance/Color Correction
I set up new lighting for a series of interviews and (as I wasn’t sure exactly what I was doing) have messed things up horribly! I’m not even sure where to begin to make all of these match and look usable. I’m using Final Cut Pro and feel much competent with the program than I do with lighting, but need a starting point of what to aim for. Any and all advice is welcome!!

Try searching for some tutorials on using the three way color corrector and you’ll find some good stuff. Digital Juice has a couple good ones. They’ll include a product of thiers usually but the info they give is very useful! It won’t be perfect but you can get it pretty close.
If you’ve got a budget, you could check out Magic Bullet Looks as you can really dig in!!!
Best thing to do? Re-shoot! I know you don’t wanna hear that but now you now know how you should do it 🙂 Put them all in the same place and use a backdrop if you can.
Lastly, you could use filters to make every other interview look like it’s supposed to look different. Meaning a color clip, then B&W, then color and so on. That would be a last resort unless you intended it to be that way. It would work better if the clips switched back an forth between the talent a lot.
Hope that helps! Pardon the typo’s…did this on my iPhone.
