nuetral grey’s
Hey guys,
I short a short film inside a warehouse that has
several diffrent grey walls. Warm grey’s, cool
grey’s etc…Is there a way for me to make all the
grey’s nuetral? Or desaturate them, so they all look consistant?I know in photoshop you can do a replace color and desaturate
a selected color. How can I do that with video? I have FCP 2 with color, and after FX.video: HDV 24p shot on Cannon XL-1A
Thanks

You’d better do it in Color, but there’s a quick way in FCP:
– apply a 3-way Color Correction Filter to the clip and open its controls
– in the Filter’s visual Settings, twirl down Limit Effect (at the bottom)
– select your grey with the eyedropper
– select the key below the eyedropper – this gives you a matte in the Canvas
– tweak it with all the hue/luma/sat settings and soften it
– click the eyedropper twice to get back from matte to final
– do your desaturation, etcBy the way, if the differences between those greys are caused by lighting differences or improper white balancing then you are actually better off with match hue controls (which you can also find in the 3-way correction filter).
