Whether you're working in a Hollywood production studio using Avid's just-updated Media Composer with Adrenaline or transforming your laptop into a home studio with the brand-new Avid Xpress Pro (and Avid Mojo hardware accelerator), you have some powerful tools at your fingertips in Avid's impressive new color-correction capabilities--including OneStep AutoCorrect technology, which allows single-click color correction of entire sequences! Here to help you make sense of it all is the first and last word on the topic from the experts at Avid: Color Correction with Avid Media Composer and Avid Xpress Pro. This handy course-in-a-book is designed to help Avid editors ensure consistent lighting and color across every fame of their movies. Step-by-step instructions and hands-on exercises take you through the three stages of color correction--restoring the original look of each shot, achieving shot-to-shot consistency, and creating a final look--before covering some of the features unique to Avid systems: before-and-after split-screens, sophisticated vectorscope and waveform monitors, and more. The companion DVD includes all of the files you'll need to complete the book's exercises.
