Product Description

Product Description

Today's non-linear editing systems are equipped with a wide range of color correction tools that were previously only available in dedicated color correction suites. This book shows video editors how to take full advantage of their power. Clear, step-by-step instructions are included for Avid XPress DV, Avid Symphony, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and more. Beyond that, you'll learn the importance of 'selling' the color correction you've achieved to clients, while making sure the client realizes the impact color correction gives the final product. In addition to non-linear editing systems, there are now many plug-in applications for color correction. These plug-ins, including ColorFix, Composite Suite Color Correct, Vixen Pro, and Color Finesse, are covered in detail. There is ample information on how to work with the various video recording formats a client may present you, and the pros and cons of each. Rounding out the text are numerous hints, tips, common pitfalls, and tutorials for real-world practice. The CD contains images can practice color correction on; popular software tools, including trial versions of AfterEffects, Premiere, and various plug-ins; and QuickTime movies demonstrating color correction techniques. Lastly, ample reference material makes this an excellent resource. This book lets you take advantage of new color correction tools in Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Avid XPress DV, and plug-ins. It includes a CD with tutorials and do-it-yourself color correction exercises. It allows you to gain a colonist's point of view on when certain types of color correction should be used and tips for achieving specific looks.

A Nice Read And Very Useful 15 Nov 2004
By Cameraman Ray - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Actually I found the book to be very useful. It was very basic at showing the color correction tools which is exactly what I was looking for. The explanations were short and concise which is what I like. I realise that everyone has their own color correction tricks which have to be developed in time, so I wasn't after that. I feel the book is very useful for those trying to make use of color correction tools.

I Feel Robbed 16 Sep 2004
By J. Escobar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I just paid over forty bucks for a piece of trash. I can't believe this book is recommended everywhere as an essential cc tool for the video editor. This book doesn't have any worthwhile tutorials and the CD that comes with it is a joke. If you have any basic knowledge of video editing, you will not learn anything new. I was looking for a book that could provide any technique of color correction to achieve different styles and moods but this doesn't even come close to touching these subjects in depth. I just this to be a waste of money and time. Do not buy this book.
