Hey there! Once again a pretty nice tutorial but there's one little problem; your cursor is laggy... Guess that is just you recording-program but just mentioning it.
Anyway, cool tutorial so thanks :)

Thanks,
Great trick !

However, I have a question... Instead of making solids with the exact color of your footage, and mask each solid individualy, can you just take the footage itself, duplicate it above and give it the same "Color Burn" blending mode...?


I suppose that you could in theory. However, sometimes, you aren't going to have to color correct your whole clip. Sometimes a wall, or the sky, or just the ground is the only thing that needs color correction. Remember, these tutorials are only supposed to be the starting point. Experimenting like you just suggested is important if you want to heighten your skills and creativity to their peaks. Keep up the great work and hope to see your work in the future!
