CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
more than one LUT, the effects of the LUT files are combined to color
correct the images of the clip.
Below the list box three buttons are available. With the button + you
can load a LUT. For this select in the opening dialog window the direc-
tory path and file name of the look-up table. After this confirm your se-
lection with the button OPEN. This will load the selected LUT file and
its name and path will be entered in the list box above.
The selected file will then be valid for the currently selected clip and a
color and/or gamma correction will be performed accordingly. By re-
peating this action you can select and load more than one LUT file and
their effects will be combined.
With the button - you can delete an already applied LUT from the list
box. Simply select an LUT file entry from the list box and press this but-
ton to delete it.
If more than one LUT file is loaded, the button SAVE will combine their
color correction settings and create a new LUT file from the already set
ones. The selection of this button opens a standard dialog window to
save a file. There you have to specify the storage path and file name of
the new LUT file. Once you confirm your settings with the button
SAVE, the file will be created. After that you can use this single LUT file
instead of several ones to color correct video clips.
Once finished with the loading of a static look-up table, you can per-
form further adjustments to the appearance of the clip via the controls
to the right of the primary color correction.
