White balance - everything is blue when diving

jjussi

Hi!
I'm thinking to buy ContourHD + H20V UW-housing for my diving.. As we (divers) all know, light is very blue or green when you are under water... Is there way to adjust videos white balance in the software to archive "true" colors?

I would get an underwater light & that would bring colour & clarity back to your video.
Problem with adjusting the colour is that the colour is not off, its just not there. Your blues would turn green, and your reds purple. It would look quite terrible

Yes, I'm know.. But you can fix colors with digital still cameras (and video cameras) by adjusting white balance... But because this camera don't have white balance adjust.. It must be done at post processing.
I was just asking, do this software support that..

VLC may be able to do it while playing the video, however if you want the final product to be adjusted you will need to try out sony vegas or adobe premier as you can do fine tuning. with those.

jjussi, there is no manual white balance on the ContourHD. Easy Edit doesn't currently have a way to adjust it either.
If necessary you'll have to do like iceman suggested and get a 3rd party application to edit the video.
