Media and Project Directories

The Media and Project directories let you control where new files are saved by default.

 Default Project Dir.: The default directory where all new Color projects are saved. This

is also the default directory that appears in the dialog boxes for the Import EDL and
Import XML commands. Click the Browse button to choose a new directory.

 Default Media Dir.: The default directory for the file browser. This is also the default

media location used by the Import EDL and Import XML commands. Click the Browse
button to choose a new directory.

 Default Render Dir.: The default directory for media that’s rendered by Color for

export. Click the Browse button to choose a new directory.

Control Surface Settings

If you’re using a control surface with Color, the following parameters let you adjust how
motion applied to a particular control corresponds to the resulting adjustment that’s
made.

 Hue Wheel Angle: This parameter specifies the angle at which colors appear on the

color wheel of color controls in the Color interface, and the corresponding angle at
which these colors are adjusted when using the joyballs of a control surface. This is
customizable in order to accommodate colorists who are used to working with
different systems:

 122 is the default angle of red for DaVinci color correction systems, which

corresponds to the angle at which red appears on a Vectorscope. This is the default
Color setting.

 0 is the default angle of red for Pogle color correction systems, which corresponds

to the orientation of the controls of the older Mk III telecine.

 Encoder Sensitivity: This parameter controls the speed with which the rotation of

knobs on a control surface change the value of their associated Color controls.
