Apple 7 manual Jump In Make Simple Color Corrections

Jump In:  Make Simple Color Corrections

When you have color or exposure problems with a clip, you can apply a color correction filter to make basic corrections. (If you need to make sophisticated color grading corrections, you can use the Color application to grade your clips with professional tools and controls.)

Adjusting and grading the color in clips can be a complex process requiring an in- depth understanding of color components such as luma, saturation, and tonality as well as an understanding of the use of video scopes and color wheels. Although teaching expert color corrections is beyond the scope of this book, you can try using the Color Corrector 3-way filter to see the types of simple changes that are possible.

When you apply the Color Corrector 3-way filter to a clip, you see the following controls in the Color Corrector 3-way tab in the Viewer.
