For the Coloristas out there

For those of you who jumped on the Colorista deal, I went ahead and merged a couple of the Rebel scripts to come up with rd_New_Colorista.jsx. It performs the same way as rd_New_Rebel_CC.jsx but, you guessed it, with Colorista adjustment layers instead.

You can get the zipped file here:

rd_New_Colorista.zip

Just extract it to the same folder as the rest of the Rebel scripts. It will show up in the DV Rebel Tools palette along with your other Rebel tools. If you don't want it in the palette just place it in the Scripts root folder instead.

While the script has been vetted by Stu, any and all issues should come my way since I would be the one who potentially hosed something up.

By the way, I have to say I'm putting a Colorista vignette on just about all my shots these days, it's amazing what a difference it makes. Such a simple thing.

Anywhere you see the Rebel CC script mentioned just use rd_New_Colorista instead. I think.

I'm just blown away by how much vignetting is used. I never really noticed it until I questioned it in the Guide. Now I see it all over the place.

Actually, I don't see it anywhere in the after effects windows or menus. Not even the old stuff and i have 7.0

ttown71,

If you installed the scripts to the correct folder as described in the guide you can acces them from the file menu. Look for scripts in that menu and load the script you want. If you load the DV Rebel Tool pallete a floating pallete will appear with buttons for all the other DV Rebel scripts.

Hope that helps.

Not sure if anyone's checked it in a while. But the link to rd_New_Colorista.zip above is down and I'd love to get it if possible.

Cheers,

One modification that I’ve made to all of my DVRG scripts, which I find totally invaluable is getting them to automatically add relevant ‘tags’ to the layers, so that they are immediately recognized by Lloyd Alverez’s brilliant “Zorro – the Layer Tagger”…

For example, the following code will tag all the newly-created gradient-layers with the tag “*gradient”, along with the name of its target layer, and whilst it’s at it, will add a “*footage” tag, along with a self-referential tag to the target layer (if the latter pair don’t already exist)…

	Quote:
	// Create a string of 'tags' in the comment field (for use with "Zorro")... var footageLayerTag = "" + layer.name + ","; gradLayer.comment = "gradient," + footageLayerTag; layer.comment = footageLayerTag + "*footage,";

Thanks for the recommendation of Zorro - the Layer Tagger, Danny. Looks like an awesome script!
