ASC #16: Secondary Color Correction in Media Composer

In this episode, we'll create a secondary color correction in Avid Media Composer.

Secondary color correction is applying one correction to the image as a whole, but a different correction to a specific portion of the image. This can be necessary in a lot of situations, mostly when you need a different treatment of skin tones compared to the rest of your image.

SHOW NOTES

If you really want to learn about color correction, I strongly recommend Steve Hullfish's "The Art and Technique of Digital Color Correction"
