  1. I've got this video I'm trying to clean up a bit. It's got this green hue that shows up in all the white/highlight areas. I've tried color correcting it, and just can't quite get it eliminated. I use Vegas 6 so I have all the plugins, etc that come with it. I'm just not real familiar with all of them/how to use them/what might work in this case. See a screen grab here:

    Look at the colour correction and secondary colour correction filters. To subtract a colour, move the indicator in the oppposite direction to the colour you wish to compensate for or remove.

  3. I've tried that. Just going oposite on the color wheel helps a little in high one, but there's still a lot of green. I'm not really sure how to use the secondary color corrector, I've played with it a bit, but haven't gotten it to add much to the little I'd done with the color corrector. Thanks for trying to help, I'm just needing more specificts.

  4. so I kept playing around with all this different stuff, and couldn't seem to improve it much. Then I got to this place in the video where this whole window (which should have just been a bright-white blur) was totally green and I said outloud in frustration "that's so green I could chroma key it!" Then a second later I realized what I had said. So I did just that I keyed out the green to a solid white background. Its not perfect, but much better than it was.

    Instead of the white solid background, drop another copy of the video underneath it instead. You will only see the parts exposed by the mask you created with the keyer, so you can concentrate on correcting just those ares without worrying too much about the rest of the frame. This way you can preserve the shadows of the parts showing through. I did a quick test with your still, and it seems to work, although with just a still it is difficult to be sure.

    For some specific effects and looks, I often blend different versions of the same clip together to get a combined appearance.
