grading tutorials/ is it possible to achieve a flamed look in after fx

Hi Dara

There are no in depth grading tutorials that I know of on the web, probably because grading is such a matter of taste. There are however colour correction tutorials including one right here at the cow by Barend which uses standard AE tools.

can you describe in more technical terms what you mean by a flamed look or post a link to an example? also tell us what version of AE your using (different versions have different tools, 6.5 pro for example has the color finesse plug-in that earlier versions lack)

Ok,

If you do an archive search of this forum using the terms bleach bypass and Rick Gerrard as the author you should find a pretty good recipe for producing that kind for look with the standard AE toolset. If you’ve got any kind of budget the best way to get that kind of look is with the Magic Bullit plug-ins, you’ll find them here
