Highlights/Midtones/Shadows Balance Magnitude Controls the intensity of the color introduced into the video.
Moving the circle out from the center increases the magnitude (intensity). The intensity can be fine-tuned by moving
the Balance Gain handle.
Highlight/Midtones/Shadows Balance Gain Affects the relative coarseness or fineness of the Balance Magnitude and
Balance Angle adjustment. For fine (subtle) adjustments, keep the perpendicular handle of this control close to the
center of the wheel. For coarse adjustments, move the handle toward the outer ring.
Highlights/Midtones/Shadows Saturation Adjusts the color saturation in the highlights, midtones, or shadows. The
default value is 100, which doesn’t affect the colors. Values less than 100 decrease saturation, with 0 completely
removing any color. Values greater than 100 produce more saturated colors.
Balance angle Shifts the video color toward a target color. Moving the Balance Magnitude circle toward a specific hue
shifts the color accordingly. The combined adjustment of the Balance Magnitude and Balance Gain controls the
intensity of the shift.

Split Tone
Use the color balance adjustment to tone the shadows and highlights of your image in two different colors.
Use the Split toning effect to tint the highlights in your image with a particular color and the shadows with a different
color. You can achieve best results, if the highlights and shadows in your image are of opposite colors.Use the Hue and
Saturation control sliders to adjust the hue and saturation for both highlights and shadows
