The Color Corrector Filter
The Color Corrector filter employs a graphical interface designed specifically for the
task of color correction. The Color Corrector filter controls are deceptively easy
considering the amount of power they give you over the look of your clips. The
controls will be recognized immediately by professional colorists who have
experience with online color correction equipment.
