7.13 The Operator ’6-Vector CC’
The ’6-Vector CC’ operator enables you to adjust colors based on pre-
defined color vectors in a video clip without affecting other colors. It
operates similar to the secondary color correction, but instead of freely
definable color vectors it provides several predefined ones that can be
used for a selective color correction. In many cases when you want to
perform a selective color correction, applying a 6-vector color correc-
tion will be suffice.

Compared to the secondary color correction, instead of defining a color
mask you just have to use the predefined color vectors offered by the
color vector list. They can be adjusted only in so far that softness can
be applied to the vector with the Threshold items:
The buttons a and a+P show you the selected color vector in the video
overlay of the Edit Tool and at the output of the system: The button a
shows you a view of the alpha channel (white selected, black deselect-
If the 6-vector color correction operator is used on a clip, it has
to be prerendered prior to a play-out (see section “Prerender-
ing of Timeline Elements” on page 6-46).
Because the 6-vector color correction works similar to the sec-
ondary color correction and provides almost the same settings
items, this section explains only the differences. For any infor-
mation not detailed in the following please refer to section
“The Operator ’2nd Color Correction’” on page 7-38.
Low Applies softness to the color vector from the center of
the color wheel onwards, i.e. by increasing this setting
you can mask out lower saturated hues on a percent-
age basis. The value range is from 0 to 1.
High Applies softness to the color vector from the rim of
the color wheel onwards, i.e. by lowering this setting
you can mask out higher saturated hues on a percent-
age basis. The value range is from 0 to 1.
