Applying color correction

If you've used multiple cameras within a project or if the lighting varies between shots, the resulting clips can look noticeably different. You can use color correction to minimize the differences or to apply an artistic look to your clips.

Color-correction settings are stored with each clip in the library and do not affect your source media.

When no library is opened, color adjustments are applied globally to all clips for previewing. If you want to save your color-correction settings, you can transcode clips to create new files. For more information, see "Exporting media from a library."

Color adjustments to clip lists or spanned clips are not available when a library is open. For more information, see "Closing the library."
