with a specified background color. Use this effect to trim away noise and pixel skew that
may result from overscanning during digitizing. If you want Adobe Premiere Pro to
automatically resize the trimmed clip to its original dimensions, use the Crop effect
instead of the Clip effect.
Left, Top, Right, Bottom
Crops each edge of the clip separately.
Units
Sets the units specified by the sliders, either pixels or the percentage of the frames.
Fill Color
Specifies the color that replaces the trimmed areas. The default color is black.
Color Balance (RGB)
The Color Balance effect changes colors in the clip by adjusting the RGB levels. Drag the
Red, Green, and Blue sliders to adjust the level of each color.
Color Balance (HLS)
The Color Balance (HLS) effect alters an image’s levels of hue, lightness, and saturation.
Hue
Specifies the color scheme of the image.
Lightness
Specifies the brightness of the image.
Saturation
Specifies the intensity of the colors in the image.
Note: You can convert a movie to grayscale by setting the Saturation to –100.
Color Corrector
The Color Corrector effect combines several color correction tools so that you can easily
adjust the color of video clips.
Setting Keys
Saves or loads your settings from the hard disk.
Split Screen Preview
Displays the right half of the image as the corrected view and the
left half of the image as the uncorrected view.
Black/White Balance
Specifies the desired black, white, and gray points of the image.
Use the Gray Point setting to remove any overall color cast in an image by clicking an area
that should represent neutral gray.

Tonal Range Definition
Changes the highlights, midtones, or shadows while leaving the
other areas uncorrected. Select Preview to view the result.
HSL Hue Offsets
Adjusts hue, saturation, and brightness of shadows, midtones, and
highlights with graphical color wheels.
Use the following controls to adjust color using the HSL color model:
Hue
Adjusts hue without changing saturation or lightness.
Saturation
Adjusts the saturation. The default value is 100, which doesn’t affect the color.
A value of 0 removes color.
Brightness
Adjusts brightness so that darker pixels are affected more than lighter pixels.
Increasing this value raises the black point.
Contrast, Contrast Center
Adjusts the image by altering the way that image information
is distributed between values of pure black and pure white. Color Corrector calculates
contrast by using a curve, resulting in more natural-looking adjustments.
Gamma
Adjusts the midtone values of the image without affecting black and white
levels. Use this control to adjust images that are too dark or too light, without distorting
shadows and highlights.
Pedestal
Adjusts an image by adding a fixed offset to the image’s pixel values. Use this
control in conjunction with the Gain control to increase an image’s overall brightness.
RGB Gain
Adjusts brightness values by multiplication so that lighter pixels are affected
more than darker pixels. Increasing brightness with this control increases the white point.
Use the following controls to adjust color using the RGB color model:
