Hi.
Even though I have After effects I had always missed having control over video like I did stills, such as...Luminance, hue and saturation slider controls, split toning, luminance and colour noise control and most importantly sharpening.
A work around so you have control over everything still in Camera Raw is as follows...
Open your footage in after effects > add to render cue with the following settings, best and jpeg sequence. Render it out into a locatable file.
Open Adobe bridge, locate the file, click on the "first" file in the sequence, then right click and choose the option "open in camera raw".
Do what ever changes you want to make in camera raw, just like you would a still, then click done. You only have to do this to the first file in the sequence.
Open a new project in After effects, chose import file, not multiple files, click on the first one in the sequence, in the drop down box below the window choose "all files (*.*)"
in the format box chose "camera raw" in the import as box choose "footage" and tick the camera raw sequence box below.
Drag the file into the timeline and all the changes made in camera raw have been applied, remember, you only have to do it to the first frame!
It might not be any good for every situation but couple with the warp stabilizer in After effects and the other controls available it offers masses of tools for the job.
Hope this helped.
