Making composites look right by visually matching RGB values in After Effects

In After Effects you can set your comp viewer to isolate the Red, Green, and Blue channels one at a time. This is very helpful when trying to match the color balance of plates in a composite. This viewing mode can enable you to make precision adjustments to each color channel with the Levels or Curves effect.
In visual effects you often encounter plates shot separately (background matte images, green screen footage, etc), that need to be composited together. One of the fundamental challenges is making sure the colors match between plates. Dialing that in can be tricky, even for someone with a trained eye. This technique helps tremendously when precision is critical. And it makes color compositing possible for colorblind artists.

This is what we should call, "colour compositing made easy in After Effects". Thanks for the cool and level headed explanations.

The way I celebrated after turning the view back to full RBG and all my clouds were matching exactly. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!

[@slykhajiit2]

This is a really unique approach to color correction. I've never seen this method in other tutorials, even in similar softwares like Photoshop (they usually use the curves editor). Thanks!

[@hanheecho6437]

This method is very general for nuke or fusion. Just impressed after effects can do it similar.

This is awesome I didn't realize color correcting for comps could be so easy!
