I use After Effects for stabilization. I find the image registration is more useful to me for overlaying one source on top of another, for example when erasing CGI dinosaurs…
I was just reading above a little about the troubles adjusting 3P0 and wondered if you had tried out 3D LUT Creator? http://3dlutcreator.com/ It makes adjusting individual colors real simple.
Color Cone is another great tool for this: (http://www.picture-instruments.com/home/index.php)
AE sounds like the best thing to use for the footage except that I don’t have that either. I have only been able to afford Premiere CC and Photoshop CS6 for this project, so I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to help out on that front. In the meantime, I’ll keep looking for solutions.
About individual colors, If I would have known about 3D LUT Creator when beginning this project I definitely would have put it to good use, and I made a LUT in Speedgrade (using the free trial) for eliminating the magenta in the film, and that seems to have some of the specific functionality of 3D LUT Creator. However at this late time I can’t justify the expense, and Premiere has managed to produce decent results with a bit more thought and effort.
