tutorial for BCC 6 color match?

[Curious Turtle]

There’s a Help button included on the top of every Boris plug-in control. Click on this and it will open up the appropriate help file for you in Acrobat Reader. The Boris guys generally write really good documentation.

Hope that helps,
Ben

Thanks. I knew that, but all the information does is identify each of the buttons in the plug-in and doesn’t really explain how to use it in depth.

Okay … perhaps I can be of assistance.

The BCC Color Match filter was designed to match the color and luma values from a source clip (a) and a target clip (b). It solves the common problem where abutting clips of the same scene that were shot at different times of the day but need to look like they were shot within seconds of each other.

The filter provides 3 point sample controls, from which the user samples regions from the highlight, midtone and shadow areas of the source and target (destination) clips. You start by applying the filter to the target clip and then disabling the filter so that it has no effect on the image. Then set the h/m/s samples for the source and target. Then enable the filter.

A bias control was provided for the h-m and m-s regions, effectively enabling the user to instruct the filter on what values are to be considered highlight and shadow from the mid-tones of the image. To use this, set the appropriate view (h/m/s etc) and change the value in the h-m or m-s bias parameters, switching the view until you are satisfied with the region settings. Then set the view switch back to normal.

At this stage you should be seeing that the source and target color and luma values are fairly closely matched.

Finally, adjust the master level and color parameters to back-off or increase the master color and luma matching. If needed, this can be further tweaked using the individual h/m/s level and color parameter sliders.

As with any color matching tool, it takes practice with the tool to really get comfortable with the controls. Once you use it a few times, I’m sure you’ll really start to see the benefit of having this in your toolbox.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Peter.

I know this is an old post, but I thought I’d close the loop on the question about a video of this BCC Effect. It’s hard to find because of the title, but here ya go.

Be warned that the guy mis-speaks sometimes when he refers to “Source” and “Target”, but if you understand “Source” is the clip you are modifying (as he initially explaines) that you drop the effect onto … and that “Target” is the clip you want to makethe “Source” match to, you can overcome that glitch in his presentation.

He also talked about BCC Levels Gamma effect, which I used to help my footage even more.

Hope this helps.
