panel. The Split View button will appear in the upper left corner of the

Program Monitor:

Enable Split View by clicking the Split View button. You can then drag the
handles on the corners of the split rectangle to define the area you want to split.
You can also drag the split rectangle to move it to a specific region of your clip.
The area within the split view rectangle will display any color correction you
make, while the area outside remains unchanged.

In the following example, the split view rectangle has been moved to display the
color correction in the area surrounding part of the Chinese character on the wall:

Remarks

• The Split View option is for preview only. You should disable it before

rendering your material, otherwise the split will appear in your video output.

• If you enable Split View and create a mask outside the split view rectangle,

you will not be able to see it. The mask will only be visible when you move
the split view rectangle directly over it. If you invert a mask that is not in the
split view rectangle area, the whole clip will be inverted since the mask is
ignored.
