  • hue curves on avid?

    Is there a good plugin that adds hue-curves support to avid? I know final cut yanked the feature from Shake, and Lustre also has it, so it seems to be popular. I’d like to be able to use it in our Avid-based color correction, but I haven’t found it yet.

    Ummm… I was just color correcting on an AVID yesterday and doing it with hew curves. They come with the MC software. Are you on some older system maybe that doesn’t have it? They come standard with MC/Express Pro.

    I’m not in front of an avid right now but from memory go to tool sets/color correction then you see the three familiar color circles. There is a curves selection somewhere on that screen.

    Sorry I cant be more specific, I am an engineer not a regular user.

    There are value curves, yes, but hue curves are a little different. In a hue curve, the x axis represents a hue (from red around to purple) and y represents saturation or some other property. That way I can, for instance, take the saturation out of reds and greens, but raise it for blue. (It’s also good for removing spill from a greenscreen, but I’m more interested in the color-correction possibilities.)

    Oh, I got it. I use those in digital fusion. I just didn’t know that is what they were called.

    No. I have never seen those in AVID, nor have I seen pluggins that do that.
