Another way to color grade is to use the built in scopes to help you balance shots. You can
open a single video scope by clicking the 'scope' button, which is the second from the right
on the palette toolbar. You can choose to display a waveform, parade, vectorscope, histogram
or CIE chromaticity scope. Using these scopes you can monitor your tonal balance, check the
levels of your video to avoid crushing your blacks and clipping the highlights, plus monitor any
color cast in your clips.
The 'color wheels' palette contains the 'lift', 'gamma' and 'gain' controls which will generally
constitute your first adjustment. If you've previously had experience with color correction,
these should resemble controls you've seen in other applications for doing color and
contrast adjustments.
The 'lift, 'gamma', 'gain' and 'offset' color wheels give you total control over the
color and tonal balance of your clips. To make a uniform adjustment to all colors for
each tonal region, drag the dial underneath the color wheels back and forth
The primaries bars make color adjustments easier when using a mouse
For more accurate control of each color using a mouse, you can change the color wheels to
'primaries bars' which let you adjust each color and luminance channel for the lift, gamma and
gain controls separately. Simply select 'primaries bars' from the dropdown menu near the top
right of the color wheels.
Adjusting the 'Lift'
With your clip selected on the color timeline, click on the 'lift' dial underneath the first color
wheel. Slide it back and forth and watch how it affects your image. You'll see the brightness of
the dark regions of your picture increase and decrease.
Set it to where you want the dark areas to look their best. If you decrease the lift too much,
you'll lose details in the blacks and you can use the parade scope to help avoid this. The
optimal position for blacks on the waveform is just above the bottom line of the parade scope.
Adjusting the 'Gain'
Click on the 'gain' dial and slide it back and forth. This adjusts the highlights which are the
brightest areas of your clip. The highlights are shown on the top section of the waveform on
