Image Control effects
Black & White effect
The Black & White effect converts any color clip to grayscale; that is, colors appear as shades of gray. You cannot
animate this effect with keyframes.
•
In the Effect Controls panel, click the box to the left of Black & White, if necessary, to turn on the Black & White
effect. Click
that appears in the box to toggle the effect off.
Color Balance (RGB) effect
The Color Balance (RGB) effect changes the amount of red, green, and blue in a clip.
Color Pass effect (Windows only)
The Color Pass effect converts a clip to grayscale, with the exception of a single specified color. Use the Color Pass
effect to highlight a particular area of a clip. For example, in a clip of a basketball game, you could highlight the
basketball by selecting and preserving its color, while keeping the rest of the clip displayed in grayscale. Note, however,
that with the Color Pass effect, you can isolate only colors, not objects within the clip.

this effect, you could change the color of an object in an image by selecting it and then adjusting the controls to create
a different color.

Gamma Correction effect
The Gamma Correction effect lightens or darkens a clip without substantially changing the shadows and highlights. It
does this by changing the brightness levels of the midtones (the middle-gray levels), while leaving the dark and light
areas unaffected. The default gamma setting is 10. In the effect’s Settings dialog box, you can adjust the gamma from
1 to 28.
Keying effects
Alpha Adjust effect
Use the Alpha Adjust effect in place of the Opacity effect when you need to change the default render order of Fixed
effects. Change the opacity percentage to create levels of transparency.
The following Alpha Adjust effect settings let you interpret the alpha channel in the clip:
Ignore Alpha
Ignores the alpha channel of the clip.
