Timeline Element Properties

afterwards hold your data of the selected color or color range as well as

the information about the performed color correction.

The DVS software provides overall seven predefined color vectors: One

that has all colors selected and six others that provide each a different

color by default (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and magenta). Toleranc-

es and softness are also predefined in these vectors.

Nevertheless, each of the provided vectors can be used and adapted to

define your color or color range, and every one may hold a different

color as well as a unique color correction. Simply select one of the color

vectors from the color vector list and alter its settings in the settings

pane with the color mask, color correction and balance items. Further

information about the color vectors and the color vector list can be

found in section “The Color Vector List” on page 7-41.

Defining a Color Mask

After selecting a color vector from the vector list you have to define the

alpha mask for your clip, i.e. the color vector that should undergo a col-

or correction. For this you have to position the timeline cursor on an ap-

propriate image in your video clip that you want to color correct. The

image should clearly show the color that you want to change or correct.

The preview window and the pipette of the secondary color correction

are the easiest way to select a color vector. They can be activated with

the button PIPETTE. The window will show you the frame currently

marked by the timeline cursor, and with its pipette you will be able to

select the desired color(s).
