Riassunto

No video project is finished until it's color corrected, and no colorist should be without Encyclopedia of Color Correction - the only Apple-certified comprehensive reference to the art, techniques, and engineering of video color correction. Professional colorist Alexis Van Hurkman demystifies the inner workings of color, contrast, and image processing in Final Cut Pro, while teaching you to evaluate images, identify improvements, and execute them efficiently and creatively.
Packed with hands-on examples and customizable techniques, this is more than a project cookbook - it includes technical detail on how Final Cut Pro handles video standards, color encoding, broadcast legality, and more. You'll discover new ways of approaching the correction process using masked corrections and vignettes, along with creative techniques including multiple day-for-night treatments, different approaches to sky correction, and targeted saturation adjustments. You'll also get practical advice on dealing with video noise and learn best practices for setting up your own correction room.
