[ANSWERED] Control of colors, CI?

[Eva]

hi helpers:) 

Im working on a performance with a live feed and using a Panasonic GH 4 camera. We change sometimes in light consitions and it would be nice to be able to work with some details in coloring in isadora. I see a bunch of CI actors, but I am not sure how to use them, i e how do I make them do anything e.g. saturation. The thing is, I need more clear color:) my output gets very white presently.

I hope this makes sense?

Any help is very much apreciated, thanks:)

Two things:

1. Make sure you have a fixed white balance on the camera. Don't leave that on "auto".

2. If you're using a projector, calibrate your projector, so that you know that the colours coming out of the projector are consistent.

If you say the output is too "white" then the first place I'd look would be the projector's contrast and brightness controls.

There are plenty of guides on the internet and you tube for "calibrating a video projector".
