Question

How do I adjust these colors Vectorscope YUV?

I have a mask around the skin and in the vectorscope you can see a line going toward green and another going toward in between cyan and blue. What tool do I use to bring those toward the skin tone line?

This looks like a pretty solid color though I'm suspecting you may have video noise in the sample. Which would account for the tiny amounts of cyan/blue. 

 

Have you moved the mask a little to see what results you get?

 

To make a selection like that is called a secondary selection. A primary selection affects the whole image, a secondary selection is "qualified" to adjust only a selected part of an image.

 

So ... in Premiere, that's the HSL Secondary tab. And set the key to those specific hues, maybe a hue-only selection with luma and sat turned off ... you'd have to test of course. But I don't think it's worth the time.

 

And I work for/with/teach pro colorists, work heavily in both Resolve and Premiere. The only times I've seen that sort of trace have included video noise.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Thanks, yeah, I moved the mask around, and I am also getting the same results when I do the same thing with the other camera angle/shot. This doesn't always happens with these cameras/interviews, but when it does I'm always wondering how to shift those. But, like you said, it's probably not worth the time. I didn't try HSL Secondary. I don't do a lot there. I've toyed around there but not enough to know how to really do what your'e suggesting.

I have a thin line darting toward green and another thin line going toward in between cyan and blue. How do I get those two thin lines to join the rest of the colors that are near the skin tone line?
