Chapter 20 Color Correcting Clips 465

In this example, even with all the correction we’ve applied, the image is still a little
oversaturated. This is especially apparent in the red third of the Parade Scope, in the
Video Scopes tab.
Note: As always, be careful to make adjustments to saturation only while looking at a
properly calibrated broadcast monitor. It can be very tempting to mistakenly
oversaturate the colors of your clip based on the way video looks on a computer
display. It’s a good idea to turn on the Excess Chroma option (in the Range Check
submenu of the View menu) to keep yourself from inadvertently setting illegal chroma
levels by boosting the saturation too high.
