Using Channel Effects

You can modify the individual color channels of the image using channel effects. They are useful for applying color correction, or mathematical operations on color channels, without changing the whole image.

For example, you can use a channel effect to change the red portion of a clip without affecting the green or the blue.

The channel effects are described in the following sections:

• Using Alpha Arithmetic
• Using Blend
• Using Compound Alpha Arithmetic
• Using Compound HSV Arithmetic
• Using Compound RGB Arithmetic
• Using HSV Arithmetic
• Using Invert
• Using Minimax
• Using RGB Arithmetic
• Using Set Matte
