Hi All,

Can someone recommend a filter that can color balance this image?

I noticed that the white walls aren't white, and it looks like there is a shade of red in the image, similar to what I see in digitals photos. Also looks like it maybe a little over saturated.

Are there any filters available that are similar to photoshop's auto color, thats available for video?

I'd appreciate any feed back you can give me.

Try Tweak:

Tweak(cont=1, sat=1.0,bright=0, hue=1)

Those are the defaults, I THINK... Check it out ;).

Hi,

I agree with pookie. Try

coloryuv(gain_v=-5,gain_u=-5)

start with this values and change it until clip looks color balanced.

You can try also virtualdub plugin ACOBW.VDF:

loadvirtualdubplugin("D:\abc\virtualdub\plugins\ACOBW.VDF","acobw",0)

...

converttorgb32()
acobw(5,5,5,1,1,1,1,0,2)
converttoyv12()

or the colorspace original of your clip

good luck

Where is this filter located? I can't seem to find it on the web.

Thanks.

It's an internal Avisynth filter. Refer to the Avisynth docs.

You don't have to load a plugin to use it.

Does anyone notice that the color balance is also off left to right? IE, the left side of the image has more red than the right.

This is a problem I have with a old reel of film. I am looking for a virtualdub or avisynth filter that will let me apply a graduated tint to the the frame. In this example, I would want to apply more green to the left side of the frame with a linear decrease in the green correction progressively across the frame towards the right.

I have searched, but haven't found anything that would do this.

Does anybody here know of anything that would perform this function?

NM. Finally found something called HotSpot_RGB that does the job.

Hi,

There is an avisynth filter called GraMaMa that makes gradient mask (as name implies). Used with mt_merge (from masktools filter) can serve to make uniform transition from a clip hard red tone corrected to other less corrected.

Found GraMaMa in:
