A Digital Video Primer
Although static titles, graphics, and logos may suce for some projects, many others require
titles that move across the screen in front of your footage. Titles that move vertically (up or
down) are called rolls; titles that move horizontally are called crawls. e Titler provides choices
and settings that facilitate creating smooth, expert rolls and crawls.
Correcting the color
Assets aren’t always perfect. Aer assembling your production, you may want to clean up imper-
fections and inconsistencies, especially when it comes to color.
Color can have a dramatic impact on a movie. Emotional overtones change when the colors
on-screen look lush and vibrant, or when they look more muted. It’s critical to ensure that colors
are consistent from cut to cut because jumps in color can appear jarring to an audience. Editors
commonly perform scene-by-scene color correction to make sure that all of the shots in a scene
match, to give scenes the right look, and to correct exposure, color-balance, and other produc-
tion problems caused by lighting, cameras, and environment.
Also, if your production is destined for broadcast, the chrominance (color hue and saturation)
and luminance (brightness and contrast) must meet broadcast standards. When video exceeds
these limits, colors tend to bleed, blacks and whites look washed out, and the picture signal can
even get distorted.
Use the color correction controls for precise adjustment of most color parameters.
