单元任务Unit Brief

你的任务

选一个层次分明的镜头（比如天空 + 人物），跑完一次完整的二级调色：先一级打底，再用窗口和限定器把天空、人物隔离成各自的选区，主体在动就让窗口跟住他，最后把肤色校到矢量示波器肤色线附近，导出一帧前后对比图。

素材要求

  • 一个镜头即可，但画面里要同时有至少两块"想单独调"的区域（如天空 + 人物面部）
  • 主体有轻微运动最佳，正好练跟踪；完全静止也能做，跳过跟踪步骤即可
  • 素材尽量选位深高、压缩少的；只有手机拍的 H.264 也行，正好体会选区上限在哪
  • 没有自备素材，就用教材配套工程里未调色的片段

步骤提示

  1. 先完成一级调色定准曝光和白平衡，再新建串行节点，按调整目标命名（如 SKY、SKIN）
  2. 天空用窗口或限定器隔离，调成你想要的样子；人物在动就执行 Track Forward 让窗口跟住
  3. 用限定器选面部肤色，对照矢量示波器肤色指示线微调，幅度宁小勿大
  4. 按 Command-D/Ctrl-D 逐个开关节点，确认每个调整只落在自己的选区里，最后导出一帧前后对比

Your task

Pick one shot with clear layers — a sky plus a person, say — and run a complete secondary pass: set the primaries first, isolate the sky and the subject into their own selections with a window and the qualifier, track the window if the subject moves, finish with skin tuned near the vectorscope's indicator line, and export a before/after frame.

Footage

  • One shot is enough, but the frame must contain at least two areas you'd grade separately (sky + a face, for example).
  • A little subject motion is ideal — it gives you a reason to track; a locked-off shot works too, just skip that step.
  • Prefer higher bit depth and lighter compression; phone-shot H.264 is fine as well — it's a live lesson in where the selection ceiling sits.
  • No footage of your own? Use the ungraded clips from the companion project.

Suggested steps

  1. Finish the primary grade to lock exposure and white balance, then add serial nodes named after each target (SKY, SKIN).
  2. Isolate the sky with a window or the qualifier and shape it into your look; if the subject moves, run Track Forward so the window follows.
  3. Select the facial skin with the qualifier and fine-tune against the vectorscope's skin tone indicator — small moves only.
  4. Toggle each node with Command-D/Ctrl-D to confirm every adjustment lands only in its own selection, then export a before/after frame.
