Hi guys, I filmed with 2 different cameras but my main camera came out all blown out and saturated. Ive tried everything but cant get it to match with camera 2 at all.

In this 5 second clip you first see the decent footage then the blown out footage.

Im using adobe creative suite. Any idea how to get it to match a bit closer to the decent footage.

Thanks,
Brian.

I"m no colorcorrection specialist but the closest I could get them was this: (if you want the image I uploaded here removed afterwards, pls let me know, I"ll report this to admin to remove it.)

Same here no major CC expert but I think it's salvageable enough to get you out of trouble. Did this in Vegas so I would imagine you could achieve much the same in Adobe. Do you know any local experienced Premiere editors?

That even looks better

Well thank you there Noa. On reflection I think I could have done better on the blue suit. Hope the OP has some luck with it because it not a nice situation to be stuck in is it!

Brian what do you mean by "tried everything" ???

Christopher and Noa look like they've fixed the problem within minutes ...

Hey guys, apologies for my late reply, I've been off sick.

Thanks a million for taking a look at this.

I guess what I meant by trying everything(a bit melodramatic I was)
was I tried the usual levels and 3-way colour corrector etc. but Its been a while since Ive colour-corrected and I seem to have lost those skills-I just couldnt get the same effect that the 2 other guys got.

Which colour correction effects did you guys employ? Ill give it another shot.

Hey guys,

thanks for the help. I think I nailed it after a lot more messing around with a mix of the fast colour corrector/color balance/levels.

My trouble is I do web work for a few months, then video stuff for a few months then graphic design for a few months and it takes me a while to get back to speed with each area of design and get my skills back.

e.g. in this instance-I blew out the footage by having no ND filter(or I couldnt fiodn the option on hte camera on the day of shooting cos I hadnt touched the camera for months.

Take care,
Brian.
