Apple Final Cut Pro 5 - Manual (Page 1263)

476 Part II Project Interchange
8 The Whites Balance control changes, dipping into the blues to compensate for the
overly warm lighting. The color balance of clip 2 now approximates that of clip 1 much
more closely.
If you’ve achieved the results you wanted, you can stop. Often, however, use of the
Hue Matching controls is simply the first step taken, and other adjustments will be
made afterward.
∏
Tip: Holding down the Shift key while moving the balance control you’re working with
will lock the angle along which the balance control moves, allowing you to keep the
exact hue of your adjustment the same.
Limit Effect Controls in the Color Corrector
and Color Corrector 3-Way Filters
The Limit Effect controls are a group of controls in the Color Corrector and Color
Corrector 3-way filters that let you key a specific color and apply color correction to
only the areas of the picture that you’ve keyed on.
For example, suppose you have a scene with people wearing different-colored shirts.
After the shoot, you decide you want to change the color of one of the actor’s shirts
that’s now yellow. Assuming there is nothing else in the picture with the same values
of yellow, you can use the Limit Effect controls to selectively make this change.
The color balance of both
shots is now similar.
