Hey guys. I would like to know how can I correct the bad skin tones on my videos on Vegas PRO. It's giving a really bad aspect to the video. Like the subjects are ' jaundiced' or something.
What is the best way to fix this? I'd appreciate if someone could give me a detail explanation of what I have to do since I'm far to be an expert or whatever.
It there a plugin or a software that fixes this automatically? I'm really lost here I would appreciate all the help I can get.
Vegas does not make your video a different color. Post an example and well show you how to color correct it.
Do you mean your white balance was not set correctly?
Typically you use the white balance filter. and you click on an area that should be white or grey. It will then correct white balance. If you don't have a white or grey object you could look at RGB parade under video scopes. You should see that the red/green/blue are not correctly aligned. You than correct the colours. First you can try manually using the white balance slider, then if you can't correct it fully try using colour balance filter and watch RGB parade video scope as well as the picture (obviously)
I"m not in front of vegas. I can't give you exact directions
You want to use the color corrector, and then use the secondary color corrector to further isolate those skin tones to get them where you want them.

Hey guys. I'm using ColorMatch and I could fix the color issue in less than 2min. It's a paid feature and I'm on trial but I will definitely buy it.
I tried color corrector and it does take the yellow of the skin color but also changes the tone of the entire video and I didn't want that. With ColorMatch I was able to remove only the yellowish bad skin tone and keep the rest as I wanted it.
And you can always make it black and white and say it was an artistic decision. 😉

@karma17 - Luv it!
@diogocastelo - Two words : Channel Blend : Not everybody’s idea of a first date, but I’ve had some spectacular results with it and would loooove to have a crack at one of your yellow sampler.

That's because the Colormatch plugin can differentiate between yellow, green, and cyan alone or in combination, something the unacute human eye cannot do.
I need a sample to try in Channel Blend. Well?
I run into this problem very often..WB not set correctly...the Vegas white balance plugin isn't good and I often try the color corrector (very time consuming). AAV ColorLab has a great free white balance, but after Vegas 13 the plugin doesn't always work in V15 (I get a black preview screen at times)..I won't mind paying for a good plugin that works quickly...I haven't tried Color match (it's an FX in vegas)..Monitoring this thread with eyes wide opened :)
