7.11 The Operator ’2nd Color Correction’
The ’2nd Color Correction’ operator is an optionally available feature
for the DVS software. If you have received this option, you will be able
to adjust one color value in a video clip without affecting the other col-
ors. This type of color correction is often referred to as selective or sec-
ondary color correction.
The secondary color correction can be used, for example, to change the
color of a shirt, a car, etc. or to intensify those colors without influencing
the rest of the clip. It works similar to the blue screen effect in film and
television where the blue of the background is keyed and replaced by
another background image. However, instead of replacing the selected
color with another image you can perform a color correction on it with
the secondary color correction.
