Hi Everyone!!!!

Back from Amsterdam again (yes, I was there last week as well!) and another show done and dusted!

In this video blog we will have a look at a few practical tools


Colour Correction:
Balancing and Matching Colour Colours


These very useful tools are required on almost every production that you do. Whether we are using colour to match a look or fix problems that may have come from a film shoot, the colour correction tools in Flame and Smoke should certainly give you the means of getting what you want.

Enjoy!!!


This video blog is best viewed at 1:1 at Full Screen mode.


The features shown are applicable to version 2011 of Flame and Smoke (Linux and Mac)


I hope that you have enjoyed the video blog this week and I will soon be back with more!!!

Please keep the feedback coming in!!!!!!

Take care where ever you are!

Signing Off


Grant

well you do have a small vectorscope in the timeline. go to the standard player. To the left of the standard player is the player options. You can toggle the tab to VECTORSCOPE. This brings a stadard 2D vectorscope. Switch the mode from STANDARD to INTERACTIVE and that will give you what you are after but it is tiny :P Regards Grant

Hello Gary, In the colour warper, you will see a scope button at the bottom left of the interface. Make sure that is enabled. The other thing is that you need to be in the result view (F4 Hotkey) to see the vectorscope when you are grading. Any other view will not show the vectorscope or your grading for the matter. Regards Grant

Hi Oczkowski 1) It looks like a bug when you are inside the CW editor in the timeline. I have logged it. If you need to use the vectorscpe, you could pull the shot out of the timeline and use the desktop colour warper and it's vectorscope should be fine. 2) That's going to have be logged as a feature request. A waveform monitor in the desktop colour warper. Right now, it's down to using hardware waveform monitors if you want to do that now :)

Hi Gaby_MONTAGE. The only way you can see and manipulate sparks via the context of action is if you are using Smoke Advanced(Linux) or Flame with the batch node based compositing. Regards Grant

Thanks Grant, these tutorials are great! Quick questions: 1) When I'm working in the CW soft effect in the timeline, I can't seem to resize the vectorscope when I'm in Player view. It's tiny by default. What am I missing? 2) It'd be nice to be able to view an RGB waveform display in addition to the vectorscope when working in the CW from the editdesk. Is there a way to do that?

Thank you for the helpful blogs. Is there a way to add sparks to individual layers in an action. Thank you
