Bonehead mistakes and how to address them at DVinfo.net

OK this is what happened. With my JVC GY-HM 100 I went from bright sunlight outside to a less than bright inside room and did not flip the 5600k/3200k switch. Can anyone suggest settings in the Vegas Pro 9 color correction that will get the interior shots to look "normal" or at least start me in the right direction?
Thanks
Tracy

Hey Tracy

Just add the Secondary Colour Corrector to the event in question and you can usually move the centre wheel cursor towards the yellow segment and get rid of most of the blue cast (I assume you have a blue cast) I once shot with 6400K lights indoors and that salvaged the otherwise blue footage!!

Tracy there is a free plug-in called AAV ColorLab that also uses GPU power during renders. It's brilliant, for white balance it has an eye dropped you simply click on a white and it will fix your white balance.
