Hello how do I go about color correcting a portion of my video, not the entire scene?
I'm sure I could rotoscope and then adjust it in After Effects but this is a 20min video and that would take forever.
I'm looking for any quicker methods.
I filmed a video in 4k and the lighting on the subject (me, specifically my face) wasn't as bad as my camera made it out to be.
Screenshot attached below to see what I'm talking about.
Other than reshooting using some actuall fill light to correct this in camera ... it's going to take masking. Whether you track a mask on a Lumetri instance on the sequence, or go to do a full roto in Ae.
I work for/with/teach pro colorists. The Job isn't actually to make everything perfect, it's really to make things not a noticeable problem. For this, your aim shouldn't be to 'match' your face exposure to the background, but to lift just enough so that it is OK as is without anyone noticing it.
I'd just make a feathered mask around your head and upper torso, track it back and forth to make sure it's staying where it's needed. Then in the mask, lift the image a bit.
Probably not a lot, just (again) enough to not be a problem.
