Colour Correction

Colour Convention

Fast colour correction

To colour correct you should always make sure you click on 'Window'. after pressing on window you should see a word called 'Workspace' click on that then you will then see 'Colour Correction'.

When you finish following these steps your screen will then look like this.

Next, if you click on the effects on the top of the 'Project Window' you will find the search icon. When you find the search buttom you would write in 'Fast Colour Correction' and grag it to the videi you have chosen to use.

Then afterwards, click back onto the 'Effects Control'. If you have notice the Control Window has changed. 

To colour correct all you would do is simply move the white marker until you get the right correcter in the video, like I have done below.

You can also if you haven't already noticed, you can saturate the video. (Black & White).

What you simply do is turn the Saturation mark all the way to 0.00. 

RBG Curves

RGB Curving is very similar to Fast Colour Correction but obviously a little bit different.

Firstly, go back to the search button and type in 'Curves'. After you have typed it in you will find the 'RGB Curves'. Like before drag the curve onto the video that you are using.

Going back on the 'Effect Control' they will be another change. With this effect it looks much more complicated then the colour correction. But when really all you need to do is mlve the colours (White, Red, Green and Blue) until you find the right colour correctiom just like before.
