I am putting together a Ep4 edit but part of one my scenes colors is way off. I have tried doing it myself but every time I adjust the color the light sabers end up looking bad and I cant seem to match the color to the other parts of the scene. Its only a seven second long section. Is anyone willing to help?
Just export the original version of the scene (you know what I mean), download a different video-editing software that has more features, and put the scene into said software before editing and exporting it.
The unfortunate reality of the Star Wars prequel and Disney trilogies is that they will always be around. Forever. They will never go away. It can never be undone.
I also prefer to be referred to as “TNT”, not “Freezing”.

Yeah i tried that. Even installed better plug ins. The scene has a bad blue tint to it but when I turn down the blue tint Obi ends up with a yellow lightsaber.
Idk if you ever got past this but there are ways to do it. I use After Effects and Davinci Resolve. In Resolve, you can create Nodes and select specific sections/colors within the image instead of adjusting the color to the entire image. You can find videos on youtube about Resolve and using nodes.
Another way you could do it is in After Effects by first creating an adjustment layer to do your over all color grade. Then create a second adjustment layer and do a “change color to” feature. Select the color you want to change and then mask around just the lightsaber so no other part of your image is affected. You can also go over the lightsaber and rerotoscope it. As far as i know this is always done as a screen layer, so it will interact with the color underneath it. So doing your “change color to” may still be needed depending on what color your changing the lightsaber to.
Muclunkey!
