It would be a wonderful addition to have the ability to be able to add some sort of color correction to clips before they are processed. I find that often old video footage is dark and needs an exposure or levels adjustment. I realize this can be done in aftereffects but it would be very handy to be able to adjust it within Video AI
I think it not worth it, davinci resolve and 2-3 days of tutorials of youtube and you will be color correct as pro
So as a PRO editor you only use TVAI ?
Firstly I asked a simple question to the software you use as a PRO.
I donāt know why you have gone off the deep end labeling my response a public flogging and an attack on you personally but your response saying I need professional help and I lack intelligence is the exact personal attack on me that you claim is a public flogging.
Topaz have had no flack from this āCustomerā over the many years Iāve been here on this forum for consumers and I have spent many hours helping them and other users to resolve problems.

The first person suggested I needed to go back to school and after I just finished explaining myself to them you decided to question me as to whether or not I had any other software experience besides topaz after I just said I have been in post production for 30+ years. How else should I take that question other than sarcasm? How could anyone work in the industry professionally and only know 1 piece of software especially when their career has been around longer that the software has been? If you actually wondered that about me it means you are not sure if I really know anything and perhaps you felt I needed helpā¦all because of my suggestion to add a color correction tool to some post production effect software. Thatās how I saw it at the time but I donāt anymore.
You let me know that you too felt offended and that your original reply was with good intentions. I respect you for calling me out on the double standard. At the time I didnāt see it but I do now. I apologize for my mistake and for offending you and consequently I have removed the posts.
regards

Color correction was requested several times, including from me. TVAI does not have to be a photoshop, but we are talking about basic function Brightness, Gamma, Contrast and RGB correction, manual users can do for the source. This can improve upscale quality when a model gets a more contrasty footage.
It is a self-contained module, independent of upscale models, has global effect, it only needs to be implemented once and does not need to be adapted with every TVAI update

I vote for simple color correction as well.
TVAI is used for a wide array of video enhancement by a diverse user base. It canāt be a āone does it allā product nor should it strive for that. But given that the output goal of TVAI is enhancement of the output and the viewer experience, basic hue, saturation, light, and contrast tweaking would add to the productās appeal, especially to the amateur or casual user base.
Anytime you donāt need to leave the core program is time saved, and for those of you using TVAI to make a living, money.
Jeff made a simple feature request just as I am doing. None of us should be assumptive of each otherās utilization of TVAI, our motivation for offering a suggestion, or our skill set competency.

Appreciated, thank you.
Iāve been around as long as you, maybe even longer.
First betamax editing on an Amiga with Toaster 
Actually I find it really annoying when the program adds a red or yellow hue to an upscale Iāve already colour corrected and white balanced. I really wish it wouldnāt mess with colour at all. It should stick to upscaling and not try to be multifunctional. It already goes overboard with heavy handed denoising on many of the models that removes detail rather than just noise.
My career began in prehistoric times as a cmx linear editor on reel to reel 2", cmx 1" reel to reel and calaway with betacam. T.
It wasnāt until the age of enlightenment that non linear appeared as if by magic. video cube, turbo cube, vegas, harry, premiere, aftereffects, final cut, resolve, avid - I have used them all
I appreciate you being receptive to my honest apology, thanks
