Correcting Daylight Shot with Tungsten Balance

Hi All,

I have to edit some video that was lit with 5600K window light, but was shot with the camera set for a 3200K tungsten color balance. ( it was an inexperienced camera person, who was not familiar enough with the camera controls )

What would you recommend as the most effective way to correct this error?

Thanks!

Install the plug-in, apply to footage, check and open "Adjust" and use the "White Balance" option.

I had a similar situation recently and found that the Secondary Color Corrector gave me what I needed.
I set Rotate Hue to 350 and Saturation to 0.900 and it looked pretty good to my eyes (and the vectorscope & waveform too).

RS170a:

What about the reverse of correcting Tungsten Shot with Daylight 5600K Balance? Have you ever found a setting that works for this?

I have often thought that presets to "reverse" daylight to tungsten and tungsten to daylight would be very helpful.
