Adjusting Colors in Flixier

Flixier makes it incredibly easy to change the look and feel of your videos or images. You can apply quick filters, tweak basic settings, or dive into advanced color mixing. Here is exactly how to use the Color tools to make your media look perfect.

 

Accessing the Color Menu

  1. Click on any video or image in your timeline to select it.
  2. Go to the Properties panel on the right side of the screen and click the Color tab located at the top.

Filters

If you want a quick fix, expand the Filters menu to apply instant, professional color grades. Simply click on any of the preset visual tiles (such as Polaroid, Sepia, Black & White, Vintage, or Grayscale) to instantly change the mood of your clip.

 

Basic Color Adjustments

Open the Basic Color Adjustments section to manually fine-tune how your video looks. You can click and drag the following sliders to the left or right:

  • Brightness: Make your video lighter or darker.
  • Vibrance: Boost the intensity of muted colors to make them pop.
  • Contrast: Increase or decrease the difference between the light and dark areas of your video.
  • Saturation: Make all colors richer or wash them out entirely.
  • HueRotation: Shift the entire color spectrum of your video.

Tip: If you go a little too far with an adjustment, simply click the circular arrow icon next to any slider to instantly reset it back to its default value.

 

Advanced Settings

For complete control over your color grading, open the Advanced menu at the bottom of the panel.

  • Gamma: Use the individual RedGreen, and Blue sliders to adjust your video's specific color balance. For example, pushing the Red slider up will warm up the image, while lowering it will cool it down.
  • Blend Color: This tool allows you to overlay a solid color onto your media. Click the color box to pick your exact shade. Then, click the dropdown menu (which says "--- OFF ---" by default) to choose exactly how that color blends with your video. You can choose from professional blending modes including Add, Diff, Subtract, Multiply, Screen, Lighten, Darken, Overlay, Exclusion, and Tine.
