There are a few color correction tutorials by Andrew. My guess is that #54 and $55 are where you might want to start.

This page has a nice list of starting points as well:

I'm a fan of Alexis Van Hurkman's  Color Correction Handbook. Easy to read, lucid, and what he's saying really works.

I also completely agree with Shooternz -- first thing you do is get your levels right. Waveform monitor first, then vector scope. Otherwise you'll go into iteration hell. I learned this the (very) hard way.

It sure is annoying that there just isn't any information available out there, isn't it?

I remember when it was a LOT harder to find things. Of course, I remember when I could read my email line by line as it downloaded at 300 baud from Compuserve too. But that's another issue.

When I started with Premiere in 2002, a few of use put together some little tutorials and used tiny little frame sizes to save bandwidth and storage space. Then I produced the Premiere Pro 1.5 tutorials for Lynda.com. God bless Lynda. That money has been coming in every month since late 2004. It isn't much any more, but it is still enough for a decent steak dinner most months. Of course, quite often I just give $25 of it back to her to take some classes for a month. Tim Kolb did some for Class-On-Demand and there were a few others.

Nowadays, tutorials are full screen, HD, and YouTube or Vimeo host them for free. What a tremendous difference. I still love lynda.com because the tutorials are really well done and worth every penny, and the audio is clean - no pops or clicks or echo, but many of the free tutorials out there are really high quality as well. Take the Creative Cow tutorials, for example.

Life is good. We shoot in HD, edit with a PC that is so much faster that we seldom have to wait for a render, and all of the information in the world is at our fingertips. What a great time to be alive!

Let me add my $.02.  One of the most powerful (and easiest, in my opinion) ways of doing color correction in Premiere and After Effects is the Colorista 2 plugin.  Here are a few tutorials/demos by a very talented guy who is a professional colorist, not just an average Joe...  I'm just a satisfied customer...

This book is available from my public library as an e-book.  Thanks for the recommendation!
