Match Hue Controls in the Color Corrector Filter
The Match Hue controls allow you to adjust the hue of the current clip to match a
similar color in an adjacent clip in your sequence. A common example is matching the
flesh tones of an actor in two different shots with different lighting.
For more information on using the Match Hue controls in the Color Corrector and Color
Corrector 3-way filters, see “
Match Hue Controls in the Color Corrector
and Color Corrector 3-Way Filters ” on page 597.
Example: Using the Color Corrector Filter
The following example shows you how to use the Color Corrector filter to adjust a clip
that’s incorrectly color balanced and underexposed. This example shows a simple use
of color correction for a clip of a white cat on a white bedspread. The camera was
incorrectly white-balanced during the shoot, and the shot is also underexposed. Using
the Color Corrector filter, you can fix both these problems.
1 Move the playhead in the Timeline over the clip you want to work on so that you can
see your changes output to video as you work.
2 Select the clip in the Timeline, then apply the Color Corrector filter to the clip.
