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!

VFX should be added prior to grading - colour correction's the last stage in ensuring all your elements sit together seamlessly so VFX -> Compositing -> Grading.

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.
