Hey all, here are a few videos I've been working on lately. I seem to getting myself into a mental "edit loop" and likely being over critical of the color correction. So I am seeking your advise on the Color, Brightness, and Contrast.
The video is taken with an Apeman A80 action cam. It is one of the more budget cams out there, but does a fairly decent job. Unfortunately, it does have a bit of an issue with Overexposure in some areas...there's not a lot I can do about it for this footage, but am experimenting with WB settings in a couple weeks. I have also just received my Flip7 and will be experimenting with that on the next dive weekend.
Camera: Apeman A80
Settings: QHD (2560x1440), 140 deg
Tray Mounted, No Filter, No Lights
Depths range from 5m to 30m
Edited using Premiere Pro CS6; Fast Color Corrector, Brightness & Contrast, slight adjustment in Channel Mixer, and for YouTube upload only - a 60% opacity LUT to try and preserve color when uploaded.
Down-scaled to 1080 for YouTube.
Please let me know what you think it needs, or doesn't need.
I appreciate your advise!
