    Masked color correction - new Pr Pro CC features or still use After Effects?

      I am finally getting around to this project. I know in CS6 the solution was to use After Effects.  I think I kept putting it off as I was not as familiar with that program as I am with PrPro.


      Anyway this is the issue.  I have 2 hours of old video I have captured that due to an internal camera malfunction (that was not discovered until the end of the tape)
      that has 5 or 6 cyan tinted narrow horizontal transparent bars running through it.  The image is there under the bars, it is just viewed through this cyan
      tint.
      The rest of the image outside of the bars is fine and the image inside the bars is fine, it just has a tint.  This is old SD footage. 

        

      An AE expert said I can make an Adjustment Layer in AE and use the Mask Shape Tool to draw several boxes around the problem cyan areas, apply the Curves and Hue/Saturation effect to the adjustment layer, then color correct. Some feathering would be needed (I know PS too so I can handle that part ) I think I recall back with PrProCS6, I could do this adjustment but only one bar at a time. I could be wrong about that.


      But anyway, sounds pretty easy in AE. But since I live in PrPro CC 2014 now, and I saw some recent new features with masks and adjustments, I was wondering if I could perform the same adjustments right in Pr Pro CC 2014?  If I need to use AE CC 2014, no worries, I have that installed.


      Thanks for the help as always!  This is family footage that I would really like to rescue.
