Photoshop CS5 Video White Balance Fix (No. 94)

Mike McHugh — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 04:12:52 +0000

In this space aged episode of Creative Sweet TV, we use a series of images and stitch them together in a fantastic time lapse using Photoshop CS5 Extended. Thanks to the images from my Brother James from www.deepspaceplace.com. Unfortunately he set the white balance on Auto and it needed to be fixed. Not as easy as you would think! We use the color Blend mode and the blend if sliders to fix it up. But we also keep the subtle color of the planets.

Get a glimpse behind the scenes of Creative Sweet TV. Using Premier Pro to do a really quick and really effective green screen key. Using native AVCHD footage and very basic fold out screen. Also use a garbage matt to trim the edges and its all good to go. The entire episode created with Premier Pro CS5.

Using both Photoshop CS4 and After Effects, this episode really is about video and special effects. Learn how to use a 3d Model in Photoshop and combine that in After Effects. Then using the powerful motion tracking capabilities in After Effects create something thats really both special and little bit spooky. Look out for the sick and awesome use of Green Screening and Keylight.

Video is King. Shot on location in New Zealand home of such movies as the Lord of the Rings and theChronicles of Narnia. What a great place to showcase Adobe CS4 Production Premium. Premier Pro and After Effects CS4. Truly a tapeless workflow with no rendering. Thanks to Pete Brownstein for my dodgy title for this episode.
