Color Grading

[Nerfboy]

Does anyone have any video grading or color grading tips for Edius 5? Is there a plug in that works with it? I see some of the amazing videos pros put up after using the Color program and was wondering if there was something I could use that might help improve my footage.

Thanks!

the white balance filter is excellent for this.
use maybe two or three filters stacked in top of each other!

there is a lot of power in this filter and learning to get the most out of it takes time (as does most good colour grading) but you can get amazing results

Mattie,

Thanks for replying. Do you have any set templates for it or something online that you have used that filter on it as an example?

I have used the white balance for just that, but never have I tried to make an "effect" out of it before. And normally I get the balance right in the camera anyways so I don't touch it much.
