All light is
not the same. Depending on whether it is sunlight or artificial
light, this will have an effect on color variation. The human brain is able to
compensate for this variation: A white sheet of paper will still look white
under candlelight, although it is in fact much more yellow than by daylight.
In order to imitate this filtering done by the brain, a camera must also
analyze and correct the light. White balance does the same thing to a
picture that the brain does by setting the camera to the so-called "color
temperature" of the surroundings.
If you do not possess a camera which performs this function automatically,
you can apply the white balance function in MAGIX Video Pro X3.
An incorrect white balance can lead to an unnatural blue or red hue.
Directions: To use the white balance, click on the button to the right of the
label "White balance" and then select a point which represents white or a
neutral gray to the "outside world". The color temperature is then corrected
automatically.
