Hi Joseph,

Thank you for your input and great ideas. The white balance of the scene was so far off that there was barely any “blue” in his shirt at all. The entire frame has a warm, golden wash. When I did a primary color balance, that brought back some of the blues of the shirt (along with the window).

The picture that I posted is not my idea of a finished grade – I just wanted to exaggerate the problem I was having so that you experts could help me find a way to correct it.

Not sure exactly how to separate more of the day spill.

Thanks for all of your positive words!

🙂

Peace-

Awesome suggestions from both Juan and Clark,

I’ve been so preoccupied making the shirt pop in other scenes that I didn’t think to push the primary node a little harder in this clip.

SO great to have the ability to confer with seasoned pros for advice here . . .

Thanks to you both!

Peace!

Thank you Clark,

The actor did have a blue shirt on, but the cameraman had the color temperature in the camera unbalanced. This is a fix not color change.

So there is no other way of doing this? Hmm . . nuts. I guess I’ll just have to minimally bring up the blue shirt and live with the blue window.

With all the routing possibilities available in the node window I was sure there was a combo where I could key out the window, and then feed that key into another node which to qualify (minus the window).

Oh well!

If any one else has any suggestions I’m all ears.

Thanks!

I found the – Preconforming “Flat” Media Files to EDLs section in the manual and it says nothing about XML, so I am guessing that I have to purchase EDL-X to convert my XML to EDL?

Thanks again for any advice.
