broadcast. If you need to make only minor adjustments to the chrominance and
luminance values, you can use the Color Corrector’s Limiter control to set the minimum
and maximum values. As the rules for broadcasting limits often vary, check with your
broadcaster to make sure that your video meets their requirements.
The Color Corrector effect includes several controls that process the image in the order
they appear, from top to bottom.
For a description of the Color Correction controls, see “Color Corrector” on page 263.
To adjust color using the Color Corrector effect:
1 Select the clip or sequence in the Timeline window.
2 Apply the Color Corrector effect to the clip by dragging it from the Effects window.
3 In the Effect Controls window, expand the Color Corrector effect.
4 Move the current-time indicator to a frame that provides the best example of colors
that need to be adjusted.
5 To compare the corrected clip to the original clip, do one of the following:
• Select the Split Screen Preview option for the Color Corrector effect to view the right
side of the clip as the corrected view and the left half as the original in the Monitor
window’s Program view.
• Choose New Reference Monitor from the Monitor window menu to view the original
clip in a separate window. Choose Gang to Reference Monitor to match the Reference
window’s timing to the Program view.
6 Set the Black Point value by dragging the eyedropper to the darkest value of the image
and releasing the mouse.
7 Set the White Point value by dragging the eyedropper to the whitest value of the image
and releasing the mouse.
8 Set the Gray Point value, as necessary, by dragging the eyedropper to an area of the
image that should represent neutral gray and releasing the mouse.
9 Use either the HSL Hue Offsets controls or the HSL controls to adjust hue, saturation,
and brightness:
• Adjust the HSL Hue Offset color wheels by dragging the black square at the center of
the color wheel to one side. For example, drag toward the blue side of the color wheel
to increase the blue value. Ctrl-drag the control for more precise adjustments; Shiftdrag
the control for larger adjustments.
• Adjust the HSL controls by dragging or entering a new value.
10 Use the RGB controls to adjust gamma, pedestal, and gain of each of the RGB
channels
separately or simultaneously.
11 Adjust curves as appropriate.

following:

colors in Method.
