[Kennedy funeral procession]

This footage from the 1960s captures various scenes from the funeral of President John F. Kennedy in Washington D.C. Key moments include the funeral motorcade passing by government buildings, the U.S. Capitol seen from above, and soldiers standing along the streets as the motorcade drives by. The coffin, draped with the U.S. flag, is carried by soldiers and placed on a wagon pulled by horses. Jackie Kennedy, along with her children Caroline and John Jr., and other family members like Bobby Kennedy, are seen participating in the ceremonies. Soldiers carry the flag-draped coffin into the Capitol rotunda, where crowds, including prominent political figures, gather to pay their respects. Various scenes show the solemnity of the event, with soldiers saluting, carrying the coffin, and adjusting flags, while the crowd watches and mourns.

The red is fine. Look at 9:36, for example: the red coat of the girl, out of the very blue television lights, looks properly red; but the red stripes on the flag, under the blue television lights, look magenta.

@@smadaf yeah either way there should be color correction

[@smadaf]

@@r4zi3lgintoro65 , whether the color is already correct or not, we should be correcting it? Or do you mean a different pair of options when you say "either way"?
