Premiere Pro Three-Way Color Corrector?

KRyan wrote on 5/1/2014, 6:17 PM

I was watching a tutorial on color grading, but it used Premiere Pro. He was using it to edit contrast (Sliders for Input Levels and Output Levels) as well as working with the 3 color wheels - all in one tool.

Is there an equivalent in Vegas Pro 12? Or do you simply use 2 tools - "Brightness and Contrast" and "Color Corrector" to do the same jobs?

Thanks.

2 tools: »Levels« first, then »Color Corrector«.
Put them in an fx-chain, store and use in one go from then.

Thanks Marco! Quick question on the Contrast tool. The Premiere pro used the Input Levels slider to adjust and set a maximum limit on highlights (only) and then the Output Levels slider to set a minimum shadows (the darkest pixels can only be so dark). Since Vegas Pro has different controls, I wasn't sure what the analog for Input Levels and Output Levels was.

Thanks.

If you want to encrease the level range use Input start to lower the black level and Input end to raise the white level.

If you want to compress the level range use Output start to raise the black level and Output end to lower the white level.
