Color Match Better in Boris Red 4.0

Awesome tutorial! I have BCC Color Match but never used it and I wasn't aware of its strengths. I can't wait to use it now. Thanks for the info.

Cheers!

This is a great tutorial on color correcting your shots! Most people just add a levels or hue/saturation to there scene and tweek it a little bit and hopefully get lucky and match the forground to the background. But being a visual effetcs artist myself, you have to take the time out and look at th RGB of each shot and actually match the balck and white points and really pay attention to the two so when you are color correcting to match the layers, they are in the same color space. In this plug-in its great to beable to select white and black points, especially the highlights of the two and match the forground. John, did an excellent discription here on meshing the two together. I have not scene someone go into detail and take the time to show each step like this to color correct a scene. Nice work, I will pass this on to friends in the industry as well as a couple professors who teach Digital Effects & Compositing at the Universities here in L.A.

Looking forward to tryin this out at work monday on a 2k effect shot I composited for this movie!!

Wow, nice tutorial on Color Correction! I dont think people have gone into such great detail on what should be done to match forground with background! Most people add levels and hue/saturation and tweak it a little and call it a day, but to be able to select white and black points in a shot and let the computer do the math to best match is a lot better than someones eye. I am going to try this out on one of my shots at work monday! Thanks for taking the time out to show us BCC Color Match, and I will pass this along to the VFX crew at work!
Thanks, Lance

Fantastic tutorial! Compositing involves blending multiple video layers. John did an excellent job of doing that and explaining it to someone one like me who is in to making digital films but I don't always have the tech savy to pull it off. this tutorial really helped! Its cool to see a product offer high-end color correction to provide natural-looking image! Thanks for the tutorial!
