I have some footage I want to edit. There are two cameras, and one of them has an incredibly poor colour balance.

Here is the same shot from both of them:

The problem is the blue channel of the bad cam is so weak that there isn't really any data to work with. If I boost the blue channel, it seems to just apply blue to everything.

I have both Final Cut Pro and Color available, but haven't done a great deal of colour correction before. Anyone have any pointers?

Thanks,

Amorya

You'll have to use two filters:

3 Way Color Corrector for Balancing the colors.

Color Corrector to brighten the overall image.

Here's some screen shots.
