Maybe you guys can help me out with this difficult problem I seem to be having. I really want to learn how to color correct my footage properly, I have been having a lot of problems trying to mess around with my 3 wheel color corrector in Vegas pro. Everything I try looks horrible for some reason.
I understand that lighting your footage plays a big part when color correcting and my footage is properly exposed before I even start color correcting. I check everything on my vectorscope and waveform monitor to make sure everything is legal. Maybe it’s because I need to learn the basics of color correcting.
I looked around trying to find books /dvd’s that can teach color correcting and I cannot seem to find any, maybe if you guys know of any recommendations I will appreciate it a lot. I was also wondering if it is better for me to learn color correction in after effects vs. sony vegas pro I ask because I see a lot of people doing a lot of awesome things inside of after effects with the compositing and what not.
I do own magic bullet but the render times take for ever and I am sure there will be a way to create most of those looks in post with just the color correctin tools inside of after effects. Any help will be appreciated, I am really trying to get a hold of how to accomplish this task maybe you can share your tips and tricks.
By the way I am shooting 1080p hd and I do know about obtaining in camera color I do own Barry Green’s book and dvd lol thanks in advance.
