Apply the Color Correction effects
The following procedure is a general overview of applying the Color Correction effects. Read on to know more about making adjustments using
the specific controls.
1. Set up your workspace for color correction. If possible, make sure that a calibrated NTSC or PAL monitor is connected to your computer.
2. Apply one of the Color Correction effects to the clip in a Timeline panel.
If the clip is already selected in a Timeline panel, you can drag the effect to the Video Effects area of the Effect Controls panel.
3. In the Effect Controls panel, expand the Color Correction effect.
4. Move the current-time indicator to a frame that provides the best example of colors that need to be adjusted.
5. (Optional) Do any of the following to set preview options when correcting color:
To view only the luminance values in a clip, choose Luma from the Output menu. This option only affects the preview in the Program
Monitor, it doesn’t remove the color from the video.
To display a before and after view of the clip in one monitor, select the Show Split View option. You can specify whether the split view is
horizontal or vertical by choosing from the Layout menu. You can also adjust the relative proportion of the before and after views.
6. (Optional) Use the Tonal Range Definition control to define the shadow, midtone, and highlight areas in the clip. See also

7. (Optional) Click the triangle to expand the Secondary Color Correction controls if you want to correct the exposure for a specific color or
range of colors. Use the Eyedropper tool or the other Secondary Color Correction controls to specify the colors to correct. See also
