Hi all,
I need some advice on how to color correct my videos because the subject looks to reddish. I was using a DVX100A (PAL camera) recording in 25p in a nightclub with almost pitch black environment. I used my 100watt halogen video light mounted on my camera's shoe.
Prior to shooting, I did not do any white balancing whatsoever because it was too dark. Instead, before I switched on the camera, I had already set the white balance setting to PRST, which was assigned Auto White Tracking to it. I then switched on the camera, switched on the light & began shooting. Some screenshots can be seen below. The first two screenshots have a reddish hue to it.
I was too busy concentrating on shooting that I didn't notice the overly red tint in the video. Only later did I realise it & quickly switched the white balance setting to A & quickly switched it back to PRST. After I did this, the Auto Tracking White setting corrected the reddishness in the video as can be seen in the last 2 screen captures.
I would like to know how to bring back the original color as close to the last 2 screenshots using Adobe After Effects 6.5. Thanks in advance for your help.
