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 CONTROLS panels on the

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

WHITE BALANCE

Select a clip in the Media Bin 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:

• TEMP Use the slider or step controls to adjust the overall color temperature of

the image.

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

• KEYFRAMES Use the + button to add a white balance keyframe to the clip. This

locks in the white balance settings for the current frame in the clip. 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 PICK button 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 the DEFAULTS button to reset all of the values in the WHITE BALANCE panel

to their original settings. Double-click on an individual Control to reset only its value.

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

TIP: Clicking on the ON/OFF Toggle button (which looks like an eyeball) will toggle the

WHITE BALANCE adjustments ON or OFF for all clips in the Media Bin. You can use this

to quickly switch back and forth between seeing the clips with the adjustments applied

and the original images.
