Finally, calculate the scene so that you can
observe the result in full size.
Of course, a dropout can also appear in the
middle of a scene or at several places within a
scene. But the procedure for retouching is the
same.
5.3 Partial brightness correction
An additional way to correct your video material
with Akaba – New Concept is to use Gamma.
If, for example, you have a scene in which
the lower area is too dark and only the sky
is correctly exposed, you can increase the
brightness of the dark spots according to your
taste.
Activate the scene to be altered in the scene bin,
start Akaba – New Concept and select Gamma
mode.
This mode allows you to make brightness and
color corrections to your video material.
You see an operating panel and in the
background the first frame of your video scene
is displayed.
Click on the mask button to get to the mask
menu. In the mask menu click first on the
Transparency button (the same as the
Palette button in other menus) to call up the
corresponding window.
Make sure that under Transparent you have
selected the upper-left color field (black). The
color is displayed in the preview window above
it.
