You haven't really given us much to work on. What kind of camera(s) did you use -- video or still with video capability? What format did they film in? Not sure what you mean by the lens being stuck on 1/32...

Have you tried any of the X3 filters under FX e.g. color balance, color EQ or color fix?

I used canon XL2 & GL2 on mini DV.

I see there is a color correction app tried the FX color correction helps maybe 10%.

Any other suggestions?

My reference to other filters was because I have bought the four NewBlue Video Essentials packs. But they are not cheap -- around US$99 each when they are not offering specials. But I can't say whether they will help much more than the filter you have already used. The point being that IMHO filters will only help improve things a little bit, where something relatively small has gone wrong. But when the whole thing is screwed up, I am not sure much can be done...

thanks Ken I contacted them and explained situation.

Looks like I may be giving this one as a freebie. Ugh.
