Yeah, accidentally changed the view lut, which isn’t reset even if you click ‘reset all’

Thanks.
So the built in tracker or mocha-AE wouldn’t be sufficient to pull this off?

Thanks Todd!
Yes read that previously but the last 2 lines seem somewhat contradictory or at the very least confusing
//QUOTE
‘…colors in a composition sent to Adobe Premiere Pro or Encore using Dynamic Link are in the working color space of the After Effects project.

To manage colors in a dynamically linked composition or for video previews, create a new composition and nest your composition within it; then apply the Color Profile Converter effect to the nested composition, with Input Profile set to Project Working Space. For video previews, then set Output Profile to match the color space of the video preview device.’
//END QUOTE

Back to my original question, does this mean that for a PPRO to AE color managed workflow, you should always use the Color Profile Converter effect on nested comps in AE?

Will this hack work with other video cards?
Recently got what I thought was a ‘top of the line’ imac (i7 27″ ) but was disappointed to see that Mercury Playback was not supported via hardware.

I must be the only one on this forum but I MUCH prefer using the 3(or 4-way) color correctors in Synthetic Aperture Finesse which comes free with AE, and as a result do all my CC in AE on adjustment layers.

Yes, more color grading and compositing than any 3d work.

Thanks! Will keep a lookout for the Lite version.
Just picked up ‘Adobe® After Effects® CS5 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio’. The older forward by Stu Maschwitz is alone worth the cost of the book, where he argues very eloquently about the importance of ‘making it look good’ vs ‘making it look real’.

July 5, 2011 at 12:34 am in reply to: Warp Stabilizer Subspace Warp-when to use?

From my tests so far it seems warp stabilizer’s subspace warp is best used fro motion involving lots of parallax, different movement between foreground and background elements.

For single direction shots, say, movement down a road, hallway, perspective works best for me, and obviously for shots that need stabilizing wihtout a lot of parallax or perspective motion, then position, scale works best.
