Color Correction and Video Quality Control

As with any color correction, the first step is to adjust the contrast of clip 2 to match
that of clip 1 as closely as possible. In this case, raising the midtones by dragging the
Mids slider to the right brings out more detail in the actor’s face and matches the
contrast of clip 1 more accurately.

Once the contrast has been adjusted the way you want it, click the Match Hue eyedropper.

5

Move the pointer into the Frame Viewer 2 tab where clip 1 is showing. When the
pointer becomes an eyedropper, click a highlight in the actor’s face in clip 1.

Click a highlight.
