re Video level difficulty in correction challenge

Hi,

Any idea how I can correct these video levels without altering the mood and feel.

The closer I get to correcting them the image starts looking terrible. Washed out.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Can one run the image through a corrector of some sorts?

The left image is red which does not help and the right image with same problem shot in very low light and very high humidity.

Defocused Images below.

Cheers

Radman.

 

 

Transcoding FULL Project (AMA and non-AMA)

Hello,

I posted this earlier, but perhaps how I phrased it lent to some confusion in terms of what I was asking. The scenario is this:

 

[A] Existing Avid project, contains work-in-progress sequences (i.e., project editorial will continue to evolve)

[B] Project has multiple bins

[C] Some bins contain AMA media, some bins contain DNxHD "imported/transcoded" media

[D] There are hundreds of clips and several terrabytes of data involved

 

GOAL:

Transcode/consolidate ALL media, whether AMA or not, to a new drive and then continue editing.

 

PROBLEM:

Going the route of using the Media Tool to find all of the master clips (and then transcoding all media at once) does NOT work, because Media Tool does NOT see the AMA clips at all. Makes this route pretty unworkable.

 

QUESTION:

Does anyone know a way to get the Media Tool to recognize all of the AMA material in it's list? Or does anyone know of an alternate method to convert all bins of material in one "swoop"? Dragging all cliips into a new sequence (to be transcoded) isn't really an option, as that would take hours to collect all of the clips, mark in's/out's, and place into a sequence. Not to mention that AMA gets really bogged down (which is the reason for doing this to begin with).

Anyone had luck with this?
