i've watched alot of video's on colour correction and grading to try wrap my head around it but you've just taught me more in one video then all of them combined so i thank you greatly. Your way of explaining what is actually happening thoughout the video was top notch for a beginner like myself to understand, much appreciated
Thanks for pouring so much work into your tutorials. I can't imagine the time you invest in writing the articles that accompany your videos that are even replete with screen shots; and then producing a great video (very detailed) to further illustrate the main points of the lesson. Super job, and thanks so much for your tireless efforts and research of your subject matter!
This is an excellent general overview of the correction tools supplied in Vegas Pro! You really explain each scope clearly and make them easy to understand. As you pointed out, the difference in the video with and without is indeed quite dramatic. Thanks for the fine education! Rgds, Wayne
I rarely comment, but just wanted to say thank you! Such a nice tempo and way of doing things, while explaining both in detail and in general . Keep it up!
Wonderful. For starters, you've explained to me what low, mid, and high tones are and how brightness and contrast affects them. 2 decades of working with Photoshop and Vegas and I've never really known, I've just fiddled and gone with what "looks good". Thanks for the work flow tips too. I mainly work with video game footage, but on my current project, I'm going to see what playing around with the image does. Thank you.
Of all the tutorials and hints on Color Correction tools, as they interrelate with the scopes, your presentation is the best way to a quick and dirty way to git 'er done. Thanks.
Superb video, especially as I've only recently upgraded to Pro. Up to now I've hardly used the Levels Filter, or Colour Curves. Certainly not properly anyway. As always you explain complex issues with great clarity.
@@MovieStudioZen I am trying to complete a video on Vegas, and I am having a serious headache with fades and track positions. Do you have room in your life at the moment to tell me where I'm going wrong? Never been so stuck before. Thanks in advance if I should be so lucky to get some help from you.
Post a message on my forum here: www.moviestudiozen.com/forum/index If you know how to make a video screen capture, record a short video that explains/shows the problem, then upload the video to RUclips and share the link in the forum message. You can set your YT video to unlisted, so that it doesn't show on your YT channel.
This is an excellent video. I just upgraded from Movie Studio Platinum to Vegas Pro and I'm learning about color correction. In your video with the final adjustments you made, I eould have liked to see the histogram again. It looked to me like the white in boat was blown out and this could be diagnosed in the histogram. See? I'm learning! Thanks so much!
Thanks for referring me to this video! Really great information that was easy to follow. Following along in Movie Studio with a simple birthday video to play with = Mind Blown!
Thank you so much for this. I've been enjoying your Sony videos for a long time now. You're absolutely right about this tutorial being the most important video I'll ever watch. Please keep up the great work!
Fabulous and really helpful, thank you. I would be very interested if you did a tutorial on colour matching at some point. I currently use Movie Studio Platinum 12 but will be upgrading to 13 very soon.
This is an amazing video, thanks! I'll have to watch this video a couple of times again to let it sink in. I wish Movie Studio had those videoscopes... very useful. I've adjusted 'Levels' before when transferring old VHS to my computer, but I've just judged it by eye... those scopes would really help! The only thing I'd change is when you said that technically you can upload RGB 0-255 to RUclips, but there is wisdom in squashing things down just a little bit. After a lot of testing last year I'd go further and say that the video you upload to RUclips should DEFINITELY be RGB 16-235. If you upload a video to RUclips in full RGB 0-255, then it will look very 'contrasty' because the lows and highs will be squeezed into the 16-235 range. Anyway, thanks again for a brilliant tutorial.
Great video. I have learned a lot. I did some correction to my vacation video this morning and saw this video afterward. I went back to see what my levels were. None of them were off the chart so doing it visually was ok with me.
Basically if I've got it correct, you have to make sure that your whites, blacks & colours are covering the hole colour range between the broadcast safe area of 16-235.
14:00 RUclips does not display 0-15 and 235-255, and documents out there ( www.bubblevision.com/underwater-video/RUclips-Vimeo-levels-fix.htm ) say that if you upload a video that uses those colors it will not only squash them down to the TV standards, but it'll look worse than it would if you had manually done it before uploading. because contrast will be much worse when RUclips does it.
I have MSP 13 and I use the BCC Flicker fixer on my videos because all my recording is done inside workshops that have fluro lights which causes pretty bad flickering, My only problem is that when I use the plugin BCC Flicker Fixer with YCC setting it removes the flicker but makes the video quite blurry, any ideas or if you already have a video that covers that greatly appreciated, far from falling asleep, I always watch your videos multiple times to make sure I haven't missed anything. Thanks again for the great videos.
I'll play around with those settings and see what works best, thanks again for the reminder of Disable Re-sample I saw that in the other rendering vid I watched before, is there a way to make it so it is automatically set to disable? I just forget to do those things sometimes. I greatly appreciate the reply.
Could you please make tutorial about slow motion? I have seen a few, very different opinions. Does it make sense to change project properties to 60 FPS when I record in 30? How to properly use twixtor and magic bullet? Any substitutes for those plug-ins? Gaming community is really big, especially now when everyone can record directly from console, problem is there is no reliable vids to learn from;-)
Great video however I have one problem. The image I see in the Vegas preview window does not correlate with the resulting rendered video. It ends up being rendered darker. This seems to be a known problem. Are there any solutions to this? EDIT: Ok the solution seems to be to add the levels preset "computer to studio rgb" setting. Thanks for the video mate.
When piecing a video together from dozens of clips, is there a way to apply a preset color correction across all clips or do they each have to be applied individually?
I noticed that your scopes continue to register the changes as the video is played (i.e. the scopes adjust). However, my scopes are frozen until I stop the timeline, then they adjust to the current frame. Is there a switch I need to click? I know this is a little off topic, but if you know of something I need to do, I would be very appreciative!
when i drag and apply color effects to my video nothing changes no matter what i do. what am i doing wrong? i have tried everything to change the color of my vids and nothing is working....
I was told that for color correction, you should just do all your correcting and then at the very end, add the computer to studio RGB to the output fx. Is that right? So while you're color correcting, you treat white as 255 and black as 0. And the studio rgb check box in the scopes settings should not be checked if you do it this way.
There is no black and white answer. If you apply proper correct colour correction first, you should not have to then add Studio to RGB at the end, because you have already brought the whites and blacks into "Broadcast Safe" range with your primary colour correction. What will most likely happen if you add the 2nd filter at the end is "nothing", because the video has already been corrected.
Right, but if you make your blacks 0 and whites 255, it was determined on the Vegas forum that media players and DVD players expand the levels. So if you produce a video that conforms to 16-235, then when played back on most devices, blacks will be 0 and whites 255. But if you make blacks 0 in Vegas, then they will be crushed and out of range when played back on DVD, etc. At least this is how I understood it.
Hi Say I have a video where something is too orange, should be more red, what's the easiest way to do that ? To actually change the colour not the brightness etc. Thanks.
Great video! What is value you set in Vegas in video preferences memory aviable? I got 16 GB, yet if I set it to 1 (1000) Vegas is beeing shut down due to insufficient memory aviable. It happens for 8 GB and 16 GB. Is that normal?
***** Thanks, i never do that:) One more question, does it make sense to render clip recorded in 1080p 30fps in 3200 width and 1800 height , 50 000 bitrate and two pass? I have seen tutorial about it, not sure if it will make difference on RUclips.
hey at the end of my project for RUclips i went into the project settings and i saw at the bottom of the list where i pick my 1080P Link and set all the settings correct i saw at the very bottom where it said 2K & 4K settings in Vegas Pro 12!!!! Would you be able to go over those settings a little bit Thx!!!!!!
***** OK yeah i just didn't know if that would be worth it or not Thx and i was wondering how to set my Vegas pro 12 to make it do new projects every time i open it!!!!!
hey i was wondering when i open Vegas pro 12 after it opens my recent project comes up is there a way to set it like when it opens like have it open a new project like have it not open your recent project you were working on. Thx for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best explanation of color correcting and grading in vegas I've seen yet!

Thanks. Was able to colour correct some 'flat' raw footage I had and give it more 'punch' using this guide.
Great tutorial.

Fantastic tutorial your teaching skills are excellent. Sony Vegas is really great if you learn to unlock its potential. A big thank you!!
Never knew those graphs existed. Thanks for the great explanation. My colours were out of the vector scope circle. Brought them in.
Thanks :)
