I am working on a 2k film footage and I am doing color corrections to some crucial footage.
The problem is the grains in the footage are not allowing me to make color corrections beyond certain limits. that is, when I increase th e saturation level of the footge the grains get pretty ugly and so stand out very much. And so on….
How do you make good color corrections on film footage, any help?
Well buddy you just stroke one of the limitations.
You can Colour correct everything, to some degree but then it gets apparent and difficult to manage.
First off what would be great if you got your 2K footage in Log full 10 or 12 bit scanned. That will give you extra space to work with.
Then maybe try and do grain removal First on just blue channel (usually the most grainy) and try with that or on all of the channels and then CC.
Do all of the corrections while in 16 or 32 bit mode so you get most out of fusions algorithms.
Try masking areas of interest and do colour corrections in areas and then combine them together so you are not working on whole picture at one time.
