## About Colour Corrector

The Colour Corrector includes tools that provide precise control over colour values. You can modify luma ranges in a clip (shadows, midtones, and highlights), sample colours, and adjust the colour balance. You can rewire colour channels and suppress colours, as well as animate a colour correction by manipulating the animation curve in the Channel Editor.

## Accessing the Colour Corrector

To access the Colour Corrector, you must load clips of the same resolution. If the clips you want to load have different resolutions, resize them so that they have the same resolution.

You can load a front clip, a front and back clip, or a front, back, and matte clip for colour correction. Changes in colour are applied to the front clip.

The Colour Corrector can be accessed from the following locations:

- Timeline, then use a Colour Corrector timeline effect.
- Modular Keyer, Action, Paint tool.
- Timeline, then use ConnectFX.
