Hello list...

I need advice!

I'm working on recombining an old Cinecolor cartoon. I've transferred the 2 b/w records of the film (one red color, one blue/green). I've been taking the two sections into after effects, but so far I haven't figure out how to combine them successfully- and get the adjustment to match the original look. Any suggestions on how to combine two color records effectively?

Remember that the original cinecolor process was Cyan and Red so in after effects bring them in as two different video sequences on the timeline and colour each accordingly.

Then put your sequences on top of each other using the "Add" blend mode.

Depending on your colourspace management you may need to change your settings for the blend mode. See here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS61A9D13D-919A-4010-A3A2-00477A81FDB0a.html#WS2A3CEB0E-F1A1-4035-9C62-CFF4A0527B11a
