A Wratten 85 filter for Final Cut Pro? at DVinfo.net

Matt Davis · October 1st, 2006, 10:10 AM

I've got a video clip that I want to be shown on a TV monitor behind an actor in a tungsten lit scene.

TVs are daylight balanced, so what I need to do is take my DV sequence (all shot correctly for white balance) and just stick a Wratten 85 filter over it all. Yes you do - the orange one.

Anyone seen Wratten 85s or 80s for Final Cut Pro sequences? Anyone got filter settings for the same effect? :D

I use the standard Colour Corrector (not the 3-way) and set the angle to -25 degrees and magnitude to 12. This seems to lower the colour temperature the required 2400K. This is also useful if you accidentally shoot daylight on 3200K preset WB.
