Part IX
If you hold down the Shift key while dragging a color balance control indicator, the
angle of the control indicator is constrained, restricting the indicator’s movement out
toward the edge of the control, or in toward the center. This lets you change the
intensity of your color mix without changing the distribution of hues.
Unlike other controls in Final Cut Express HD, holding down the Command key while
manipulating a Color Balance control doesn’t “gear down” the control (allowing you to
make more subtle adjustments); rather, it gears up the control, causing it to respond
more quickly and resulting in greater changes.
The Color Corrector Filter Controls
The Color Corrector filter controls are deceptively easy considering the amount of
power they give you over the look of your clips.
