Greetings All,
I am currently using a GoPro hero session. Yes it is old. No, I do not have a filter for it. I am not sure they even make one for the underwater case.
Anyways, I have been playing with color correction in hitfilm (It runs on my computer unlike the free resolve). I am still learning how to color correct but some footage I was working with today was different than the other footage. It had very little blue represented in the histogram. What causes this in gopro? The other footage from the same dive did not have the same issue.
I was using GoPro's Protune. Auto White Balance, Low sharpness, Flat color profile, 60 fps @ 1080p.
This was the best I could do.
If you can point me to some reading material or youtube video's so I can better understand color correction, that would be great. Currently, I mostly use curves to adjust color which did not go well with this video. I played with changing the color balance in hitfilm to try to bring up the blues a bit but I think I am missing something. Using the color wheel allowed me to bring in more blues but that really just caused other issues.
I guess what I am looking for is an explanation of why sometimes the GoPro pulls in fewer blues in some clips compared to others even if depth and water characteristics hadn't really changed. Is this due to the auto-white balance? Would it be easier to correct the footage if the white balance is constant?
