In last week's episode, we chnaged the color balance of a shot with curves. This week we'll do the same thing with the color wheels.

In this episode, we'll severely change the white balance of an image to correct an underexposed, wrongly balanced clip and make it look decent.

We'll use the curves in Avid's Color Correction to do it.

In this episode, we'll manipuate the basic contrast of an image, setting the black and white levels and gamma.

We'll do this in two different ways: First by using the Setup, Gain and Gamma controls, then by using curves.

In this episode, we'll lay the groundwork for episodes to come, talking about scopes, what they mean and why you should always pay attention to them.

Plus: Everyone who uses the Brightness and Contrast controls should seriously consider changing his profession.

This is the fifth of several episodes covering a workflow for using Red Digital Cinema Cameras with your Avid editing application.

In this episode, we'll transcode Red's R3Ds to Avid-native DNxHD MXF files using Redcine-X, a free transcoding, grading and editing utility by Red that is available for Mac and Windows.

It's free, it's easy *and* it's fast. So you better check this out.

The big star of this episode is the my audio interface that provides great sound quality. Listen to the noise! Don't hear it? See?

In other news, a good old transition that looks like your film projector broke down. Who wouldn't want that? Especially if it's so simple to do!

So you have a bunch of subtitles or lower thirds to do. They all look the same, except for the contents. You're not seriously considering doing them all by hand in Title Tool, are you?

Enter Marquee's Autotitler, which is here to make your life easy. Honestly, if you didn't know about this one, you will thank me sooner or later.

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.
