Speaking of color correction, there's now Colorista

From the makers of Magic Bullet Suite (the film look and deinterlacing software) comes a companion software for color correction called Colorista.

Using the GPU as the rendering hardware, Colorista allows precise color correction using the Magic Bullet engine (which requires HW RAID to playback optimally) on any part of the image. It's available for PC and Macs and works on all major NLE except Vegas, Ulead and yes (sorry wags) Canopus.

Check it out here.

If interest is high enough, Wetpixel can try to arrange a group buy.

Good fine there Drew....but...I can already do that in EDIUS and its trackable so can follow a fish around.

And even with CC and slowmo it's all in realtime with 1440/1080 so guess I will not be needing it

Here is a quick ruff example.

I shoot in dark waters, and I like to give my model a lamp to help focus attention, but after MWB the light from the lamp is red

Could't that filter bring back the normal colo(u)r to the light ?

Skaw, that kind of colour correction is pretty simple in Vegas. I do it all the time.

Use the secondary colour correction filter. Set up a mask within that filter that matches the red lamp in terms of hue, luminance and saturation so the filter is only working on the bit of the footage you want it to, then knock back the redness by either changing the hue on the chrominance wheel or just reducing the saturation. Play with the smoothing setting to suit.

With a lamp sometimes I've used 2 of those filters stacked. One fixes the brightest part of the lamp and the other fixes the red halo around it.

There's a bit of a tutorial here:

Thanks, Nick for the advice. I have just recently migrated to Vegas, before that I used Studio by Pinnacle.

I am still in the process of learning Vegas, but I am sure that I will be glad that I did the shift.

I will try your advice soon.

Thanks again :-)

i use Pinnacle too...
