Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve HUE vs Hue

  • HUE vs Hue

    Posted by Sean Kapleton on January 6, 2012 at 4:28 am

    I am trying to shift the color of some elements using both the qualifier and the hue vs hue method separately but i find my results are really crappy with either method.

    I want to just chalk this up to being more of a Paint/Roto type of job for AfterEffects, Smoke, Flame, etc to do but I want to be sure this is the case and if so how best to explain this to my employer before saying Resolve is just not the tool for changing these elements to the exact desired color needed. The objects in question are moving elements and no matter how good a key i get, or how precise the hue vs hue parameters are set the resulting color is just not what is needed and looks really bad.

    I would like to get some feedback about this subject if possible.

    Thank you
    Sean

    Moving element tend to shift color intensity, level and reflection of other colors nearby while they move.
    In theory your qualifier needs to be animated accordingly
    But if you get better results with AE, lets have a lock how you do it.

    Sounds like a job for paint and/or roto tools.

    I recently needed to deemphasize some loud pink lettering on a green sweatshirt, and what finally was acceptable was a MochaPro generated traveling matte. The original footage was AVC-intra shot in a “hunting frame” technique, with the subject wearing the shirt going in and out of frame, being obscured by other characters, and crossing behind layers of glass. So the source values were constantly shifting, and the edges were always blurred — no HSL qualifier in the world is going to take care of this. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and grit it out.

    I will say that I worship the water that Mocha walks on. No point tracker can compete with their system, mainly because every pixel in your selected tracking area is being motion matched. Quite frankly, you can even match the pin cushion lens distortion, should you decide to take those sorts of details into account.

    MochaPro is fantastic! 🙂

    I use it daily and it is nothing one sees with point trackers.

    Really good for roto stuff and mask painting. Relatively fast and eazy.
