Applying effects
Last updated 8/12/2010
Blend With Original Specifies the degree to which the effect will be blended with the source clip.
Image control
Black & White
The Black & White effect converts any color clip to grayscale; that is, colors appear as shades of gray. You cannot apply
keyframes to this effect.
Color Balance (HLS)
The Color Balance (HLS) effect alters a clip’s levels of hue, lightness, and saturation.
Hue Specifies the color scheme of the clip.
Lightness Specifies the brightness of the clip.
Saturation Specifies the intensity of the colors in the clip.
Note: Setting the Saturation to -100 converts a movie to grayscale.
Color Balance (RGB)
The Color Balance effect changes colors in the clip by adjusting its RGB levels. Drag the Red, Green, and Blue sliders
to adjust the level of each color.
Color Match
The Color Match effect allows you to match the colors from one source clip to another by adjusting hue, saturation,
and luminance.
Method Specifies the method by which colors are adjusted, including HSL, RGB, or Curves.
Use Sample eyedroppers to sample shadows, midtones, and highlights from the sample or color you are trying to
match. Use Target eyedroppers to sample shadows, midtones, and highlights of the clip you are trying to adjust.
Color Pass
The Color Pass effect converts a clip to grayscale, with the exception of specified colors. Use the Color Pass effect to
highlight a particular area of a clip. For example, in a clip of a basketball game, you could highlight the basketball by
selecting and preserving its color, while keeping the rest of the clip displayed in grayscale. Note, however, that with the
Color Pass effect, you can isolate only colors, not objects within the clip.

area on the left (the pointer becomes an eyedropper), or by clicking the Color swatch and selecting a color in the
Color Picker dialog box.
4 Drag the Similarity slider to increase or decrease the range of the specified color.
5 To reverse the effect, so that all colors except the specified color are preserved, select Reverse and click OK.
