Idea: color correcting using new Frames book/Sony Vegas

I’m attempting to de-specialize ANH using mainly the BD as the video source. I know color correcting has been addressed here, but I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use the new book called “Frames” as a reference guide? (scan the pictures and use a color matching plug-in). The stills are from the Special Editions of the Original 3, but they don’t seem to have the crushed Blacks etc. or maybe I’m just color blind?

Also, has anyone used Sony Vegas to CC? I was wondring if I could cheat and use your color settings?

Frames even apologizes for the pictures being low resolution because they pretty much just printed out screenshots from the blu-ray.

Oh wow, ok thanks. So I will NOT use this as reference.

You could just download and watch Harmy's version if you want an easier life.

Ya, I'm sure Harmy's version would be better than what I could do...but I like editing...and a challenge. I'm learning how to edit with Vegas. I used Pinnacle for years.

I would NOT use Vegas for color correction. If you're serious about producing quality results, then grab a free copy of Davinci Resolve and start learning. When the ver 11 update comes around next month you'll also be able to use it as a NLE.
