VFX: After or Before the color correction?

Dear All, I could add a fireworks scene with some fireworks in the sky on a far distance...it's better to add it After or Before the color correction stage? Thank you!

2 responses, most recent 8 years, 2 months ago.

Before. If you did it after, you'd have to grade the film again to make the VFX match. For picture, grading is the last thing. For sound, the dub is the last thing.
