Creating a custom color correction
Matching colors with the Matrox scopes
To match color between two clips (such as skin tone, sky, etc.):
1 Place the clip that has the correct colors on the Timeline, and apply the
Matrox color correction effect to the clip.
2 Select an effect from the Effect List.
3 On the Image View page, select Analyze a rectangle, then click and drag
in the
Image View window to select the area containing the colors you want
to match.
4 Double-click the Scope View tab to display the Matrox scopes in a separate
window.
5 From the Scope View Settings menu, choose RGB Parade.
6 Place the crosshair in the RGB Parade over the section containing the
colored dots under each of the R, G, and B columns, and take note of the
corresponding R, G, and B values displayed in the top right corner.
7 Set up a Matrox color correction on the other clip whose colors you want to
match to the first clip.
8 Click and drag in the Image View window to select the area containing the
colors you want to match to the first clip.
9 Double-click the Scope View tab, then use the Color Balance controls to
adjust the colors to match the R, G, and B values you noted for your other
clip. For example, place the crosshair over the red pixels under the R
column, and adjust the
Cyan/Red Color Balance slider until the R value
matches the R value in your other clip.
