VEGAS Pro 19 update 2 B424 has this new feature called "Color Keys".

You can emulate photo chemical process just by adding/subtracting the offset color channel using your Numpad/Numaric key on your keyboard.

Watch this video to learn more:

Thanks to @VEGASPascal for adding this feature :D

Great video, they need to hire YOU to do this sort of TUTORIAL (If you'd please pardon me and allow a couple of suggestions: YOU NEED A BRAND, beyond that very nice symbol. Dato Aliff Alex is too untidy, a one word handle my friend, because you are that good, Also, I tell ALL Youtubers to "cut to the chase" and let the intro be short, short short, and I'd say that to you as well. This is really the bane of a lot of content creators. People want the CONTENT, period).

I (probably others, as well) made this request upon the first iteration of (dedicated) Vegas Color Correction Panel, which was mouse only. This (QWERTY arrow key fine adjust) HAS ALWAYS been in the old Color Correction FX, main and secodary. I was surprised when they introduced the new CC with just mouse adjust. PITA AFAIAC, glad they fixed.

IN FACT, they went BEYOND what I'd hoped for in fixing this, so KUDOS Magix/Vegas. JOB WELL DONE. REALLY well done. And Kudos to you, Aliff, in bring this feature set so clearly into focus with your great graphic animation. Superb.

My lasting suggestion is to make the fine adjust the default, and coarse adjust with the CNTR Key. Most situations you'd want fine adjust. Amah right?

Now, if those Color Keys were programmable....

Actual "photo chemical process" machine printers from Eastman Kodak, Pako, Noritsu, PMI, had only six color channel controls, not twelve (+/-CMY are reflections). Eliminating them would free up six more keys on the numpad for more creative uses. PM me if curious.

I believe the term "color lights" originated with the Hazeltine system, which stored only four color offset values, RGB and Density. Dirt simple, really.
