1. Re: Premiere Pro Color Correcting Help with GoPro Protune Footage
SAFEHARBOR11 Feb 20, 2014 9:02 AM (in response to ntreuter)I recently got a GoPro, but the one without ProTune (Silver, white?) so I don't have that color correction experience. However, one benefit of converting to Cineform is to get rid of that fisheye look, it does a great job if you select the checkbox in GoPro Studio. Should be easier to play/edit the transcoded clips then in Premiere also.
Congrats on the baby!
Thanks

R Neil Haugen Feb 20, 2014 9:27 AM (in response to ntreuter)If you're on PrPro CC, I'd get Speedgrade also and take a run over to it for your correction work ... commonly known as grading. Yea, you can do it in PrPro, but as a noob ... never got the footage I worked "there" as far along as when working in Sg. Might help.
Next ... the scopes here are quite interesting ... first, set your lower-end of the footage to the point where you either go for good "broadcast" (blacks that you WANT black about 16 on a 0-255 scale), then lift the contrast/highs/whatever control until your whites just tip out on top. Next correct for gamma, the overall placement of the mids/upper mids, then start with your color work.
You will probably need to raise in-coming sat up a bit to start making best choices there ... but then I'm also a noob so I'm waiting for the corrections that shooter or Jim will chime in with ...

ntreuter Feb 20, 2014 11:27 AM (in response to R Neil Haugen)Thanks , I'm not on CC, I'm still on CS5.5. I've always used the built-in grading. For some reason this footage in particular is giving me issues. I read something about increasing contrast by duplicating the footage and placing it on a new track and using blend modes, but that's a little more advanced than the work I've done previously with just editing that one clip.
