Colour Grading Secondaries
 
 
 

Use the colour grading controls in the Grading menu to perform secondary colour grading on your shots. Once the layer has been enabled in the Secondaries menu, switch to the Grading menu and perform secondary grading, either in Logarithmic or Linear mode, just as you would for a primary grade.

To perform secondary colour grading in Log or Linear mode:

  1. In the Secondaries menu, click a Secondary button to enable it.

  2. Define the area to be selectively colour graded by creating a key, adding one or more geometries, or combining a key with one or more geometries.
  3. If you are colour grading geometries, enable Geom. This ensures that the colour correction will be applied selectively, rather than to the whole image.

  4. Click Grading to display the Grading menu.
  5. Perform colour grading as you would for a primary grade. See Primary Colour Grading.
    NoteWhen you use a slider or colour balance wheel to colour grade a shot, the colour range is limited by the control (the edge of the colour wheel, for example). Use the Autodesk control surface or the Tangent CP100 control surface to reach the full spectrum of colour. For control surface mappings, see The Autodesk Control Surface, or The Tangent CP100 Control Surface.
