YUV Color Correction is available in the Pro tier.

YUV Color Correction is similar to the standard Color Correction Wheels, but operates within the YUV color space rather than in RGB color space. So the footage is converted to YUV, the adjustments you make are applied, and then the results are converted back to RGB for display. YUV separates the brightness of the image from the color data. The Y channel is the brightness data. The U channel stores chrominance data on a vertical axis through the center of the color wheel, and the V channel stores chrominance data on a horizontal axis through the center of the color wheel.

Highlights

  • Brightness: Adjust the Y value of the highlights, altering their brightness without affecting the chrominance values. This slider is the same as the slider to the left of the top color wheel.
  • UV Shift Amount: The strength of color adjustment applied. This slider directly translates to the distance of the control point from the center of the top color wheel.
  • UV Shift Direction: The hue toward which the colors are adjusted. This radial dial is directly equivalent to the top color wheel, and represents the angle at which the control point sits within the wheel.
  • Hue Shift: Adjusts the highlight colors of the image by rotating them around the color wheel. The outer wheel’s relationship to the main wheel reflects the amount of this adjustment.
  • Saturation: The saturation of the selected hue. This slider is the same control as the Saturation slider to the right of the top color wheel.

Midtones

  • Brightness: Adjust the Y value of the midtones, altering their brightness without affecting the chrominance values. This slider is the same as the slider to the right of the middle color wheel.
  • UV Shift Amount: The strength of color adjustment applied. This slider directly translates to the distance of the control point from the center of the middle color wheel.
  • UV Shift Direction: The hue toward which the colors are adjusted. This radial dial is directly equivalent to the middle color wheel, and represents the angle at which the control point sits within the wheel.
  • Hue Shift: Adjusts the midtone colors in the image by rotating them around the color wheel. The outer wheel’s relationship to the main wheel reflects the amount of this adjustment.
  • Saturation: The saturation of the selected hue. This slider is the same control as the Saturation slider to the left of the top color wheel.

Shadows

  • Brightness: Adjust the Y value of the shadows, altering their brightness without affecting the chrominance values. This slider is the same as the slider to the left of the bottom color wheel.
  • UV Shift Amount: The strength of color adjustment applied. This slider directly translates to the distance of the control point from the center of the bottom color wheel.
  • UV Shift Direction: The hue toward which the colors are adjusted. This radial dial is directly equivalent to the bottom color wheel, and represents the angle at which the control point sits within the wheel.
  • Hue Shift: Adjusts the shadow colors in the image by rotating them around the color wheel. The outer wheel’s relationship to the main wheel reflects the amount of this adjustment.
  • Saturation: The saturation of the selected hue. This slider is the same control as the Saturation slider to the right of the bottom color wheel.
