Colour

Studio lets you set the look of each clip, from a quick exposure fix to a full grade.

Select a clip and open the colour controls to change its exposure, contrast, saturation and temperature. Reset grade puts a clip back as it was.

In Advanced mode you get:

  • Colour wheels for Lift, Gamma and Gain, each with its own reset. They work with the keyboard too.
  • Scopes: a luma waveform, a vectorscope and an RGB histogram. Scopes measure the frame you’re actually looking at.

The editor also includes:

  • Levels and curves, for the whole image or for red, green and blue separately
  • Hue, vibrance, temperature and tint
  • A secondary qualifier to pick a colour range, such as skin or sky, and correct only that
  • Power windows, an ellipse or rectangle that limits a correction to part of the frame
  • Gradient maps
  • LUTs: apply a .cube file with an intensity control
  • Black and white, sepia and invert

A project becomes an HDR project automatically when it contains HDR media, such as HDR video from a phone. There’s no switch to set.

  • Highlights brighter than white and very saturated colours are kept through every edit until the final output.
  • On a standard display, an HDR project’s preview is tone-mapped rather than clipped, and labelled Tone-mapped preview, not the colour reference.

HDR export is still being finished. See Exporting for what’s available.
