SHIMERING IN FCP AFTER COLOR GRADING

SHIMERING IN FCP AFTER COLOR GRADING
by David Cape on Jul 13, 2008 at 2:08:50 pm

I have graded a short doc 175 clips 23 minutes, DVC PRO HD 720P. After render the sequence was sent back to FCP. A single grade was used for 4 clips of an interview. In one of these clips in FCP a kind of shimering was noticed. In Color this shimering was not apparent. Is it possible to return to Color and tweak this color grade?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated and I thank you.

David.

The shimmering wouldn't be apparent since you can't properly watch your clip in full, uncompressed realtime quality in Color.

Just go back to Color, tweak that one shot, Add that shot to the Render Queue and re-render. As long as you don't change the Grade number, it will render right over the original clip. After it's done, dave the project, quit Color and launch FCP.

FCP will see the newly replaced shot.

"I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that".... ( "Open the pod bay door, HAL..."...) (Very long pause...)

Just reopen your Color project (do NOT use a "send to Color again). Change your settings for the correction and rerender. Assuming you havenīt changed anything else you should see the updates in FCP after rendering.

As long as you keep drinking enough coffee, you'll be fine. :-)
