The Color Correction Process
As mentioned earlier, color correction has several goals. To outline the process of color
correction, this section focuses on two of those goals:
 Making the actors or key elements of your scene look the way they should
 Determining the overall look that you want for the scenes making up your movie
Every video project consists of a series of scenes. Although scenes may differ in color
and tone—one scene taking place at night, the next one happening in the midday
sun—all the shots within a given scene should match. The goal is to make sure that the
transitions from shot to shot within a scene are smooth. If one shot is brighter or
redder than the one next to it, the result can be similar to a jump cut, distracting the
viewer and making your project look unprofessional.
The overall process of color correcting different shots in a scene to match one another
involves five steps.
To move the split screen, drag
a split-screen region to another
location.
