Matching Colors in Clips ❚❘❘ To reset RGB gamma or luminance curves for all frames in the clip: Click one of the channel buttons (RGB, Red, Green, or Blue) or the Luma button to display the curves you want to affect, then select Reset. The values for the displayed adjustment curves or luminance curve are reset. Any control points added to the adjustment curves or luminance curve are removed. To clear RGB gamma or luminance curve values for the current frame: Click one of the channel buttons (RGB, Red, Green, or Blue) or the Luma button to display the curves you want to affect, then select Clear. The values for the displayed adjustment curves or luminance curve are reset for the current frame. The curves' control points are distributed equidistantly along each curve. A keyframe is set with the reset values. Matching Colors in Clips You can use the Color Warper's color-matching functions to match sampled colors, color ranges, highlights, shadows or overall saturation between a result clip and a reference clip. By matching colors between two clips, you can improve continuity between clips, or create artistic color effects. You can: • Match specific colors. • Match shadows, highlights and overall saturation. Color matching is performed using the color controls found using the Basic controls in the Color Warper Controls panel. You can match colors using the 2D vectorscope or the color matching controls. To match specific colors using the 2D vectorscope: 1. Display the clip you want to modify (the result clip) and the clip you want to match to (the reference clip) in two viewports. 2. Select the result clip viewport. 3. In the color matching controls, click the Plot button. 4. Pick the color you want to adjust in the result clip. A red plot line is displayed in the 2D luma histogram, indicating the luma value of the plot sample. In the vectorscope, the circle indicating the sampled color's hue and saturation is outlined in red. 5. Select the reference clip viewport. 6. If the Ref button in the color matching controls is not already highlighted, click the Ref button. 7. Pick the color you want to match to in the reference clip. A yellow reference line is displayed in the 2D luma histogram indicating the luma value of the reference sample. In the vectorscope, the circle indicating the sampled color's hue and saturation is outlined in yellow. 8. Use the 2D luma histogram in the Basic controls and the 2D vectorscope in the image window to determine which controls you need to use. Drag To White or Black Adjust the luma values in the highlights field or shadows without modifying the chroma. Drag the field so that the plot line in the 2D luma histogram moves toward the reference line. Highlights, Midtones, or Shadows trackball Adjust the chroma values in the image without modifying the luma. Drag the trackball(s) so that the plot sample in the 2D vectorscope moves toward the reference sample. Use the necessary controls to modify the clip until the plotted sample is aligned with the reference color in the 2D luma histogram and 2D 675
