premiere effect

I'm looking for a clean blue tint that you put on clips. I've tried the tint filter with blue but it dulls the contrast which is bad. Anyone wanna help?

Kinda like that new movie underworld. The whole movie is in a blue tint.

if it were AiST products, that would be easy:

crop the section(s) needed and make them the 2nd Layer in the Animation,
make the Blue/Animated wavey Blue your First Layer in the Animation,
and then set the Transpartcy Level of Layer 1 to view the tint on Layer 2.

I'm not sure that THAT is an option in Primiere !?

You could use the Color Balance effect from the Video Effects pallete. When you configure the options, drag the Blue marker towards the right to get some nice, light shades of blue. Drag the Red and Green markers over to the left if you wish to achieve the darkest shades of blue.

Yup, Color Balance doesn't apply a mask over the footage, but it changes the colors by differing RGB values. This way you wouldn't have to fiddle around with transparency settings, but instead, you would directly change the colors of the footage. Your method would work also but it seems to add an unnecessary step in Premiere. :)

Yeah I was gonna just say that about transparency. Then you can't have full editable footage because you have this transparency.
I'll try that toast :D

I think the best way to get a blue tint is to export your clip as a filmstrip and import it in Adobe Photoshop and do a color balance, it's much more effective and powerfull than the shitty Premiere filter.

I think that will be to0 complicated because atleast 1:30 of footage is gonna be that blue tint.

It wont be complicated at all since you're editing the filmstrip, it'll automaticly update ALL the frames at once, then you simply save it as a filmstrip and it's done! The only time you actually need to do frame by frame editing is if you only want a certain part of the frames to be color balanced, in which case, you'll have to manualy select them and do the changes.

Otherwise, if it's a simple color correction to the whole frame, it'll be fast.

I think if I were doing it in Premiere, I'd made a blue color matte(File->New->Color Mask IIRC then pick your color) and set it on the timeline on a video track above the footage you want tinted blue, and then drag down the transparency rubber-band on the color matte. It basically acts like you're looking at the clip below it through a tinted gel. You'll have to experiment with how transparent to make it, but that's probably the easiest way to do it, especially if you want to have multiple clips below it and not have to make the Color Balance adjustment to all of them individually.

some scenes have different lighting, so in the end, you'll end up changing the transperency settings anyway to accomdate the new lighting.

Though that does sound like a good idea in general.

But with that wouldn't it skew all the colours in the video? Red would become purple, yellow would become green... I think what she wants to do is adjust the colour levels (RGB -> just the B channel) so that all of the colours become tinted towards blue, not mixed with blue as I'm thinking the transparency method would do.
