Please help with Color Correction

[Hunter]

Okay I did a color effect on V1 and got that crushed black blooming highlight look and then added a softfocus from saphhire. My problem now is blending layers. I want this layer (layer 1) to be behind layer V2 which will just be the same shot. I tried Superimpose and it just makes it look murky. What I am trying to do is by blending the 2 layers I want that soft highlight look that you see in movies like sky captian and world of tommorrow but without loosing alot of the detailed definition. Someone once told me to try add the composite effect and just drop the opacity but I do not see composite effect in Xpress Pro HD. thanks for your help

you might want to download and install transfer avx, Here is a repost from Oakmozart

There’s another free plugin out there, called “Transfer AVX.” It was created by Profound Effects (makers of Elastic Gasket and other plugins), and allows you to have Transfer Modes right in your Avid. Since the Cow won’t let me give you the site here directly, go to this thread that I typed up on the Avid Forums for more information on it and where to download it for FREE. It’s under the first post, also called “Tip 1: 2 Essential FREE Plugins Every XDV/XPro User Should Have!”

Give it a shot.

Best,

sort of…

with either cc or col effect, desat, crush and add some lumincance, most easily done with curves, then dupe the aley, add some blur, and use the transfer plug in and use the add or scree function.
