I’ve had that fail on more than one occasion, but never any problems uploading from their website.

Select all the clips in the timeline, right click, and choose between either “Set to Frame Size” or “Scale to Frame Size”.

March 20, 2017 at 10:04 pm in reply to: First time correcting skin tones using scopes only. Opinions neededThanks, Mike, but I’m an amateur who does this for fun. If I had extra money to spend on spyder’s I would put it into a faster PC, for one thing. I realize I’m trying to do this on the cheap and I expect to get less than optimum results. I just want to get close enough, for my own satisfaction. Cheers!

Since I do this strictly for myself it doesn’t pay to get calibration equipment. I’d rather put the money into a faster PC. Anyway, this is my last attempt. I downloaded some stills from one of those beautifully shot Maybelline commercials and checked out the scopes. Then tried to get them as close as possible with a still from my video. Here’s the result. And thanks again for taking time to help.

It appears that compared to your version I’m increasing saturation too much and darkening just bit. That’s just a look I go for, but I definitely need to cut down on my saturation. Cheers!

March 19, 2017 at 3:24 am in reply to: First time correcting skin tones using scopes only. Opinions neededok, I’ve seen that tut before and the guy annoys me. I hate those stupid “I’m funny like Andrew Kramer” routines. Anyway, I did a quick correction. This time I made the changes to the flat image (I did it to the tweaked image before). I’m including the corrected image and the same image with some post. It looks not as red heavy as before. Anyway, let me know. Suggestions also welcome (Too dark, too saturated, etc)
Thanks again.Corrected image (Vectorscope on skin line, IRE between 50 and 70)

March 19, 2017 at 3:02 am in reply to: First time correcting skin tones using scopes only. Opinions neededHey Vince, thanks for responding. I DID use my scopes. I didn’t go by what the skin tones were looking like at all. I cropped down to my forehead and made adjustments until my skin was between 50 and 70 IRE (I could only get it to between 50 and 60) and my vectorscope had a small thin line precisely on the skin tone line. And you’re saying it looks like crap on your monitor too? *sigh*
I’ll give that tutorial a shot tomorrow morning and post back the results. Thanks again.

March 16, 2017 at 11:21 am in reply to: Why do the icons at the bottom of my project panel disappear when there are lots of items?At least you can still scroll! I have the same problem (one of those problems that Adobe can’t “fix” because it only affects a few people so it must be the graphics card, grrrrr).
What I do as a workaround (that doesn’t always work) is I keep my Project panel ungrouped so I can resize it. When those icons disappear I just resize the project panel and they’ll appear. I wish it would work for the scrollbar! I have the same problem with cc2015.4 but at least they always reappear, along with the scrollbar, when I resize the Project panel.
