  • Fixing green screen issue when white balance is wrong

    Posted by Orson Kellogg on November 27, 2009 at 5:20 pm

    I shot a video with the improper white balance value (3200 K, whereas it should have been 5200 K). As a result, it’s proving very difficult to get a crisp image of the person against my laid-in background.

    Any suggestions? Any tools in Vegas worth trying to address this?

    Thanks.

    A quick way to set the white balance: Add the color correction FX to the event (or to the whole track or project).
    In the popup window that opens, you find 3 colorwheels. The left one is used to correct the dark colors, the middle one to correct the midtones and the right one to set the white balance.
    Beneath the colorwheel are two pipets.
    Click on the left pipet beneath the right wheel. 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 white. See the result immediatly.
    If you are not satisfied with the result, just repeat on another white spot in the preview window.
