Or should I set up the template as 720 x 480 standard NTSC? How will the final decision affect future desires to output to Blu-ray as high definition? </p> <p>2. </p> <p>How should I set up the monitors for color correction?  Should I set up a CRT via firewire so that I can see what it looks like on a standard definition CRT?  Or should I output to a 1920 x 1080 LCD computer monitor? Or both?  Will color correcting in one format (HD) make it look funky in another format (SD) and vice-versa? </p> <p>What to recommend since I originally shot it in HD, need to first release it in SD, but then want the option to release it in HD later? </p> <p>Many thanks for the help; in the gurus I trust!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/color-is-beautiful-2#post-54344 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:59:56 +0000 composite1 54344@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>A few weeks ago I posted Phillip Bloom's wonderful video of a winter night in Prague shot on the Canon 1DmkIV.

Here's my dilemma...<br /> I got married this past weekend and the ceremony and reception was recorded on my Sony DCR-SR42 camera. The video came out crystal clear and it is perfect except for one thing...I didn't realize that nightshot (infared) was activated on the camera. As a result there is no blue at all on the video making all the colors become totally wrong. I have tried (software) color correction and filters with little or no improvement at all. My question is ...is there ANY WAY to fix this issue so I can salvage my wedding video? Is there a filter that will reverse the effects of the infared filter that was inadvertantly used?</p> <p>Any help would be a Godsend!!</p> <p>Regards;<br /> Ken</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/explanation-of-picture-profile-settings-on-sony-hvr-z7u#post-49596 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:14:03 +0000 mastern 49596@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've spent a lot of time getting well acquainted with my HVR-Z7U, to the point where I even bought a training DVD (the one with Doug Jensen) to make sure I knew everything about it.  However, when Jensen gets to the Picture Profile settings - involving color and gamma and so on - he says "I'd go over all these settings but that would take another entire DVD!"  Well, not surprisingly, I really want to know what those other settings do.  Yeah, I can see some changes when I play with the settings, but to be honest, I don't really know what I'm doing with the camera when I change the settings.  Is there a video, online posting or another training DVD that goes over Sony's Picture Profile settings for the camera?  Thanks!  </p> <p>P.S. If someone is gonna take a crack at going over the settings themselves, I'm mostly interested in gamma - it kinda seems like contrast as far as I know, but again, I can't find stuff to confirm that.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/make-subject-color-and-background-black-and-white#post-41139 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:18:57 +0000 kr0490 41139@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>How can I make the person in my video clip in color and the background in black and white.  I have adobe premiere and after effects.  Thanks for any help!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-studio-tutorials#post-41635 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:54:56 +0000 robGRAUERT 41635@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I am thinking about making video tutorials covering Final Cut Studio 2. Then I can start a blog for all to view for convenience. If you don't already know, the major programs included in this bundle are Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Color, Compressor, and DVD Studio Pro.</p> <p> So, if anyone wants to request a tutorial for any program, I will be more than happy to provide one. Take note that Final Cut Pro is the program I know best, but I will be able to answer some questions regarding any program.</p> <p> Also, you can count on being disappointed if you are expecting to see a tutorial next week. I'm still in the planning stages, which isn't much, but still takes time. If you need to know something right away, then clearly state it when you request the tutorial. I will at least respond in writing.</p> <p>Thanks guys.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dvshade-plugin-update#post-34714 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 02:30:01 +0000 TrevAnder 34714@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello to all,</p> <p>I've just updated the DVShade plugin, it now consists of one plugin, DVShade EasyLooks. This plugin is comparable to Magic Bullet Editors Looks but costs much much less. I have included some presets with it as well. Check out the site <a href="http://www.dvshade.com/">http://www.dvshade.com</a> for more info.</p> <p>I will also be launching a new plugin within the next month entitled DVShade Toon'In. This will give your digital videos a cartoon look a la Waking Life or A Scanner Darkly style.</p> <p>Reflection V2 is still in the works, I have had to change it to the FxPlug API as the FXScript API is giving me less than stellar results. The good news is that it will be OpenGL accelerated and will work in Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express 4, and now Motion.</p> <p>Thanks you all for the support, and if anyone has a cool idea for a plugin, or is in dire need of one, feel free to forward it to me at <a href="mailto:andtrev@gmail.com">andtrev@gmail.com</a>. Anything I create for you will be freely available on my site so that everyone can benefit from it.</p> <p>Thanks again,<br /> Trevor Anderson<br /> <a href="http://www.dvshade.com/">http://www.dvshade.com</a></p>
