"I noticed that my eyes were run a couple of days into our cruise. As some others have pointed out it could have been because of the snorkeling. Also, about 5 days into the cruise, I developed a cold so that may have contributed to the red eyes."

grinner replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"just put a doobie in a an ash trey at the bottom of the screen to give the red ays an ecplaination. Not tracking needed."
Rob Au - 2bitfx replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"For 2D tracking any compositing package should suffice. Shake or nuke are what I prefer. Just started looking at Blender which is a full 3D/2D suit which is free. It looks to have a compositing interface that may have the tools you need.

Nishi replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"Affecting a matte area could work if the narrator isn't moving too much. Also, try bumping up the blue a bit... might cancel out the red?
Are the whites of her eyes generally reddish or do they have a lot of red lines in them? I'm on…"
Bill Mecca replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"You could also combine the two and make the PIP black and white, you could move it around the frame, lots of possibilities. finding solutions to problems like this is what taps our creativity! If it all worked smoothly it would be soooo…"
D.A.B. Productions replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"Thanks for the info. I think I'm planning on taking out some of the reds or at least some of the red highlights in the image. I'm going to try to only affect a matte area. Does this seem like it will work?

D.A.B. Productions replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"Visine is right! We usually keep the "speaking spray" stuff for throats, haven't had a problem with eyes until now. I'm going to take it as a learning experience. BTW, I am planning on covering something like 95% of this 10 min…"
D.A.B. Productions replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"I only have the keyer in Final Cut, so im not sure, but thanks for the info- maybe I can try to take out that "pink"ish hue and that will help. Whats an example of a good tracking program? Excuse my ignorance.

Bill Mecca replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"not knowing the content or treatment my first response is b-roll, second response, black and white for effect. You could also squeeze the talent in a box and layer it over b-roll, making her smaller will reduce the impact of the bloodshot eyes, but…"
Nishi replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"I haven't had to deal with this myself but maybe try increasing the contrast (try to burn out the white a little?).
Also try de-saturating the reds (hopefully there isn't too much red in the rest of your image).
I suspect doing "too…"
Shane Killian replied to D.A.B. Productions's discussion Red or Bloodshot Eyes"Hmmm...do you have a REALLY good keyer? You could try keying out the red in the eyes, but it'd have to be really good, because they're probably more pink, and there's also a red component to skin color.
The only alternative I can…"
D.A.B. Productions posted a discussionRed or Bloodshot Eyes
I shot a piece today with an on-screen narrator. I thought her eyes looked a little red during the shoot but didnt think much of it. I guess I was preoccupied or something, I dont know. Now that I'm home and processing the footage, I realize the subject's bloodshot red eyes are way too obvious on video- the way your eyes look when you're allergic to something, or high. I feel stupid and should have just paid attention during the shoot, but I'm going to pay for it now! Does anyone know any…See More
