Color Correcting Clips

The underlying Active Metadata

architecture used in the GoPro CineForm codec

enables you to do real-time non-destructive image development adjustments to your

clips. These adjustments affect the overall color and tone of your clips. The controls to

apply these adjustments are located in the WHITE BALANCE and IMAGE control panels

on the right-hand side of GoPro Studio’s EDIT Room.

WHITE BALANCE

Select a clip on the Storyboard and then click on the Disclosure Triangle to the left of

the words “WHITE BALANCE” to open the WHITE BALANCE panel giving you access to

the following settings:

• TEMPERATURE Use the slider or step controls to adjust the overall temperature

of the image.

• TINT Use the slider or step controls to adjust the overall tint of the image.

• KEYFRAMES For advanced users, the white balance settings can be keyframed.

Use the + button to add a white balance keyframe to the clip. This locks in the

white balance settings for the current frame on the Storyboard. You can then

move the Play-head to another location on the Playback Slider to add another

keyframe where you can have different white balance settings. This is a great

way to have the white balance settings change over the duration of the clip.

For a clip with a white element in the scene, click on the EYE Dropper and then click on

the white element of your image in the Playback Window to have GoPro Studio

automatically adjust the white balance based on that element.

Click on an individual control to reset its value.

Click on the Disclosure Triangle to close the WHITE BALANCE panel.

TIP: Clicking on the Enable Checkbox will toggle the WHITE BALANCE adjustments ON

or OFF for the selected clip on your Storyboard. Checking the box enables the controls.

Unchecking it disables them. You can use this to quickly switch back and forth between

seeing the clips with the adjustments applied and the original images.
