no. It was a 3 step process. firstly i applied a basic global correction with VirtualDub, then imported into Vegas & applied correction separately shot by shot then imported shots that required separate colours to be suppressed or corrected into adobe after effects & created mattes & layers so that correct (or as close as possible given the source) elements would not be affected with further correction. An example would be lukes garage scene especially the last few shots. if you look in the background when beru calls him the once white doorway has now a horrible turquoise tint to it. Trying to remove this by a simple correction would have change elements in the foreground too much so i had to use after effects to do hell of a lot of shots like this. So i have a long process to replace all the missing footage to match the surviving footage (plus there are effects elements to redo too). So it is impossible just to load up the .veg file i'm afraid. I really wish it could be that simple
