Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to match colors between too video footages (animation) of the same film ? What I mean is that I'm trying to color correct a recent release of an animation movie by matching it's color (that had been messed up) with an earlyer release of the same movie with the right colors pallette. I know that avisynth can (probably) do something like that, but since it's a heavily scripts based program and that since I didn't found yet a good step-by-step tutorial to use it with the right filter(s), I can't really use it. I tryed using the "match color " function and the batch tools in photoshop (frame by frame), but it did'n work since the reference images never change during the process, only the "images to processed" works. So, I'm stuck for now.
Any suggestions, solutions or detailed tutorials will be welcomed.
Thanks to answer

"Your love of the halflings' leaf has clearly slowed your mind"If you haven't already searched around, check out this similar problem on a Star Wars capture:

I lay the groundwork of my solution on page 4:

with the final approach on page 5:

This way, a simple single adjustment might be able to transform your entire source video to look like your target video.

Hi Spaced Ranger. For color filters, gamma and contrasts, I got theese covered. But, since it's an animation, I have some trouble with colors that were actually replaced in the film. I don't really masterise completely after effects yet, but, I'm sure I can come up with something wery close to the original. Although, my LD rip, provided by someone here, may not be a very good source because of the capture settings.
Ill try to see what other options I can get and then make my move.
