Apply multiple color corrections
You can apply multiple color corrections to a clip to target specific issues. For example, you could
have one color correction that mutes a bright orange shirt and a second one that enhances the
green in the lawn.
Color masks are created based on the original colors in the clip. For example, if the first color
correction removes all chroma from the clip, the second color correction can still create a color
mask based on a color originally in the clip.

By default, the Color section contains the first manual color correction item (Correction 1)
along with the Balance and Match Color items. Color correction items that you add are named
Correction 2, Correction 3, and so on. Each correction item has its own Color Board button—
clicking one of these opens the Color Board with that correction’s settings. You can also choose a
correction in the Color Board using the pop-up menu in the upper-right corner.
