Numerical

Lets you adjust your luma mapping settings numerically by

entering values in the text boxes, or by dragging the corresponding sliders.

Input Levels (Black

and

White)

These controls let you fine-tune your

clip’s brightness and contrast by changing the luminance value that
represents black, white, or gray. Doing so expands or compresses the
range of luminance levels in your clip, which increases or decreases your
clip’s tonal range.

For example, by increasing the black value, you set black in your clip to
a higher luminance value, which compresses the luminance range and
darkens your clip proportionally.

Output Levels (Black

and

White)

These controls let you map the

values under

Input Levels

to any level of black and white. You can

reduce contrast in your clip, or reverse the luminosity of your clip by
setting black to a higher value than white.

Gamma

Use this to adjust the midtones in your clip without adjusting

black or white.

Mask

Allows you to apply a mask to your effect. For more information,

see

“Applying a mask to your effect”

Selective Key

The selective key settings allow you to apply the color

correction effect to a specific range of pixels in your clip. Performing a
selective key is similar to performing a chroma or luma key, however, with a
selective key you are applying color correction to the keyed area instead of
transparency. For example, if you use the selective key properties to select
red as your

Hue

color, the color correction will be applied to the red regions

in your clip. You can enable each keyer (

Hue

,

Saturation

, and

Luma

)

individually, or enable all three at the same time to get the desired results.

$

Graphical

Allows you to see a graphical representation of your changes

when you adjust the selective key

Numerical

settings. You can also modify

the settings directly within the graph and perform an auto key. For more
information, see

$

Numerical

Lets you adjust your key settings numerically by entering

values in the text boxes, or by dragging the corresponding sliders.

Hue Key

This type of key lets you select areas to be keyed (affected by

the color correction) based on their hue.

$

Enable

Select this to enable the

Hue Key

properties and hue key

indicator in the selective key graph.

$

Hue

Use this to rotate the indicator around the perimeter of the color

spectrum so that you can select different hues (colors) on which to key.
