    for best results, use the 3-way color corrector … effects > video filters > color correction > 3-way color corrector

    Ray,

    Simplest way forward – use the ordinary Colour Corrector filter, open visual filter controls, then use the eyedropper tool (you’ll find it on a square button to the bottom left of the balance wheel) to click on an area of your picture that should be white – a shirt, a sign, a piece of paper… this will ‘reset’ the white balance. Then dupe the effect for each shot in similar conditions. You might need to tweak the saturation a bit, but I’ve rescued some pretty nasty shots. It’s the simplest way (the 3-way CC can be a bit daunting for a novice) and works well.

    Jason
