Effects and transitions
Last updated 11/6/2011
Color Balance (HLS) effect
The Color Balance (HLS) effect alters an image’s levels of hue, luminance, and saturation.
Hue Specifies the color scheme of the image.
Lightness Specifies the brightness of the image.
Saturation Adjusts the image’s color saturation. The default value is 0 which doesn’t affect the colors. Negative values
decrease saturation, with -100 converting the clip to grayscale. Values greater than 0 produce more saturated colors.
Equalize effect
The Equalize effect alters an image’s pixel values to produce a more consistent brightness or color component
distribution. The effect works similarly to the Equalize command in Adobe Photoshop. Pixels with 0 alpha (completely
transparent) values aren’t considered.
Equalize RGB equalizes the image based on red, green, and blue components. Brightness equalizes the image based on
the brightness of each pixel. Photoshop Style equalizes by redistributing the brightness values of the pixels in an image
so that they more evenly represent the entire range of brightness levels.
Amount To Equalize How much to redistribute the brightness values. At 100%, the pixel values are spread as evenly as
possible; lower percentages redistribute fewer pixel values.
Fast Color Corrector effect
(32-bit) The Fast Color Corrector effect adjusts a clip’s color using hue and saturation controls. The effect also has
levels controls for adjusting intensity levels of image shadows, midtones, and highlights. This effect is recommended
for making simple color corrections that preview quickly in the Program monitor.
For more information about using the Fast Color Corrector, see the video tutorial, Premiere Pro CS3 Essential
Training: Color Correction Using Effects , on the lynda.com website.
Output Lets you view adjustments in the Program monitor as the final results (Composite), tonal value adjustments
(Luma), or display of the alpha matte (Mask).
Show Split View Displays the left or upper part of the image as the corrected view and the right or lower part of the
image as the uncorrected view.
Layout Determines whether the Split View images are side by side (Horizontal) or above and below (Vertical).
Split View Percent Adjusts the size of the corrected view. The default is 50%.
White Balance Assigns a white balance to an image using the Eyedropper tool to sample a target color in the image or
anywhere on your monitor’s desktop. You can also click the color swatch to open the Adobe Color Picker and select a
color to define the white balance.
Hue Balance And Angle Controls hue balance and hue angle using a color wheel. The small circle moves about the
center of the wheel and controls the hue (UV) translation. This changes the balance magnitude and balance angle. The
small perpendicular line sets the relative coarseness/fineness of the control, which controls the balance gain.
Adjustments to the Hue Balance And Angle can be viewed in the vectorscope.
Hue Angle Controls the hue rotation. The default value is 0. Negative values rotate the color wheel to the left and
positive values rotate the color wheel to the right.
Balance Magnitude Controls the amount of color balance correction as determined by the Balance Angle.
Balance Gain Adjusts brightness values by multiplication so that lighter pixels are affected more than darker pixels.
