camera A device for viewing scenes from a different angle or “vantage
point”.
capture 1. To digitally transfer audio or video material from an external
device, such as a videotape recorder, to a shared storage location or the local
disk storage on your workstation. 2. To convert analog video and audio signals
to digital signals.
channel 1. A physical audio input or output. 2. One of several color
components that combine to define a color image. An RGB image is made up
of red, green and blue color channels. In color correction, you can redefine
color channels by blending color components in different proportions.
chrominance An image processing property that defines the hue and
saturation of a pixel.
color A means of identifying colors in a source according to its component
parts of RGB, hue, saturation, chrominance, luminance, sharpness, softness,
tolerance or threshold, and computer-generated imagery.
color correction The process of adjusting the color characteristics of video
material to achieve an accurate representation of color and consistency of
color from one clip in a sequence to another. The term generally refers to
adjustment changes made as part of a single effect.
color curves Color curves lets you remove color spill by either suppressing
a sampled color, by modifying the red, green, blue, or hue, by modifying the
saturation, or by modifying the luminance of the selected color, or by shifting
the hue of a color range to a sampled hue shift target. Each curve in color
curves is a hue gradient. When you change the shape of a curve, the colors
along the curve's gradient change to reflect the result. For example, if your
hue shift target is magenta, as you raise the green portion of the default hue
shift curve, it gradually becomes magenta, becoming fully magenta when you
reach the full value (75%).
comparison operators Operators that use Boolean algebra to compare two
values with each other, if the comparison is true the result is 1, if the
comparison is false the result is 0.
composition Composition is media imported into the application that can
be used to insert, merge, or link to or from another composition.
computer-generated imagery (CG) Images created or generated with a
computer.
conform A compound object created by projecting the vertices of one object,
called the Wrapper, onto the surface of another object, called the Wrap-To.
