Moving red face

[John Nelson]

Trying to correct a red face on a moving person using AE CS4. The person’s head sometimes turns and dips. Also wearing a hat and wraparound sun glasses.

Is there a tutorial to help?

Thanks.

You want to duplicate your footage layer and apply the colour correction, then animate an Alpha Matte to track the face. Search for tutorials for ‘apply motion tracking to mask’ or ‘alpha matte for colour correction window’ or similar…

Brice. Thank you very much! Will begin my search.

I originally masked a frame of the face but quickly learned how lost I was…

Thanks again.
