How correct a Single Color in AVID

[Morten Raarup]

You can make a copy of the clip in V2 and make a croma or lume key. When you have seperated the colour then step in and apply a colourcorrect on the clip.

Xpress doesnt have secondary color correction, but you can use a plug in called ColorFix from 3prong that works great.

I’m not familiar with the “matrox color replace” plugin, but I am familiar with 3prongs ColorFix. It works like this:

You can select up to 4 different shades of the color you’re wanting to change/tweak. These are the “Old” colors. You can select to “Join Old” where it uses the different shades you chose to figure out what other colors fall in the ranges between them, and it includes those colors as well. Great for areas that fall into shadows, for highlights, etc…

You can then view the mask of that color and adjust the luma range, chroma range, tolerance, the blur and opacity of the mask. You can invert the mask, too, with box cropping (although you can feather the edges of the crop).

Next you can select to key the color you chose, or colorize it. If you colorize it, use Luma, Hue, and Saturation to change the color. Once you’re done with all of that, you can do more color corrections within the plugin.

How well the shot works will depend on your footage. If you’re wanting to change a red car on a red background to a blue car on a red background, you’re going to be out of luck. However, if you have a red car on a blue background and you want it to be a green car on a blue blackground, it’ll probably work magic for you. I’ve used it to change the color of a dress–the talent was shot on green screen, didn’t like the color of dress she was wearing (light pink), so we changed it to lavender. If you didn’t see the original footage you’d swear it was a lavender dress all along.

You can go to http://www.3prong.com and download the demo. Install it, try it, if you like it and it works for your needs, order it. They’ll send you the unlock code and the watermark it renders with will disappear. Very simple.

Good luck. If you have more questions about it, post here and we’ll help.

Michael.
