Color Correction and Filters

Color correction in video editing refers to the process of adjusting and balancing the colors and tones of a video to achieve a desired visual effect or correct any inconsistencies in the footage.

In Flixier, you have access to several tools and filters that allow you to quickly perform color correction and enhance the overall appearance of your videos.

Accessing Color Settings

To access these features, simply click on a photo or video in your timeline to select it. Then, look at the Properties menu on the right side of your screen and click on the Color tab.

Filters

At the top of the Color tab, you will find the Filters section. Flixier offers a range of one-click filters such as: Polaroid, Sepia, Black White, Vintage, Brownie, Kodachrome, Invert, Technicolor, Grayscale, Emboss, and Sharpen.

These filters instantly apply predefined color and tone adjustments to your media, giving them a specific look or style instantly.

Basic Color Adjustments

Expand the Basic Color Adjustments menu to manually fine-tune your footage using intensity sliders:

Brightness: Make the video appear lighter or darker. Increasing brightness improves visibility in darker scenes, while decreasing it reduces overexposure in brighter areas.
Vibrance: Boost or reduce the intensity of colors without causing skin tones to look unnatural. Increasing it makes colors more vivid, while decreasing it creates a muted look.
Contrast: Fine-tune the difference between light and dark areas. High contrast makes the image appear more dynamic and striking, while low contrast softens the overall appearance.
Saturation: Adjust the overall, absolute intensity of all colors in your video. Increasing saturation makes colors bold, while decreasing it will eventually turn your video black and white.
HueRotation: Shift the overall color tone of the video across the color spectrum. This allows you to experiment with trippy color effects or correct severe color casts present in the footage.

Advanced

Expand the Advanced menu for highly specific color grading controls:

Gamma: Fine-tune the mid-tones of your video, allowing you to control the overall brightness and contrast within a specific tonal range. You can adjust this using three independent color sliders: Red, Green, and Blue.
Blend Color: Apply a solid color overlay to your footage and choose how it blends with the original media to create custom tints and atmospheric effects.
