Question

Removing a colour 'cast' on a clip

Hello

The movie clip I have is 40 minutes long and over 20 years old. I have converted it from a VHS tape and saved it as a mpg file and installed it onto my PC. When I play the file in VLC Media Player the first 5 minutes have a green cast.

In Premier Elements 11, I have managed to remove most of that cast by playing around with Effects | Colour | Hue, Saturation and Brightness but the first few minutes of the clip are now almost in black and white.

Due to the age of the original VHS tape and the fact that it has undergone a conversion, I am not expecting a Warner Bros performance from Premier Elements, but is it possible to remove or lessen the green cast without affecting the other colours in the first 5 minutes of the clip?

Many thanks

Steve

    You can always slice or split your clip into segments so that effects are applied to some segments but not others.

    Although for fixing color casts, Adjustments usually work better than Effects

    I have split the first few minutes from the rest of the clip because the green cast only applies there.

    I will take a look at Adjustments and post back - many thanks for your reply.
