Using a Trackball with the Color Corrector Filters
Additional keyboard shortcuts are available to make it easy to use a trackball to adjust
the color balance controls in the Color Corrector and Color Corrector 3-way filters. These
keyboard shortcuts work only while the mouse button (or trackball button) is pressed,
and are designed to work with the drag lock button of your trackball.
Tip: When you press the drag lock button of your trackball, the trackball button remains
pressed and continuous adjustments can be made to the color balance controls.
To work with the color balance controls while the drag lock mode of your trackball is
enabled, press Tab to move from one color balance control to the next.
If your trackball has multiple programmable buttons, you can map three other keyboard
shortcuts to them to go directly to specific color balance controls.
• Option-Control-8: Selects the Blacks control.
• Option-Control-9: Selects the Mids control.
• Option-Control-0: Selects the Whites control.
The Color Corrector Filter
The Color Corrector filter controls are deceptively easy considering the amount of power
they give you over the look of your clips. The main controls are at the top of the visual
interface tab—color balance controls and level and saturation controls.
General Controls in the Color Corrector Filter
There are several basic controls in the top-left corner of the Color Corrector filter.
Keyframe controls
Enable/Disable checkbox
Numeric button
• Numeric button (appears when viewing the visual controls): Click this button to view the
numeric controls for that filter in the Filters tab.
