Hot key : CTRL + F12

The Colour Management System (CMS) lets you apply colour

transformations to your shots. These transformations are user configurable

and defined in a 3D colour cube file which is loaded into the application on

demand, or specified as part of an project output format.

To use a CMS Look Up Table (LUT), you need to define the project LUT type

on the main project setup screen.

Some samples colour cubes have been provided.

If CMS was not selected for the output format that you are viewing then the

CMS option will appear disabled in the viewer tools menu. To activate the

CMS option you can simply exit your project, add CMS to your project

configuration, then re-open your project.

Once you have activated the CMS option, you can apply the CMS by pressing

the CMS toggle button in the viewer tools menu:

Alternatively, you may have chosen to 'burn-in' the CMS to your output format

(via the project configuration options) in which case the CMS will be

permanently applied and you will not be able to toggle it on/off.

If you want to change the colour cube that you are using, you can use the

CMS Setup

button to select a different LUT file.
